Baní from Day Three Fragrances is one of the better tropical fruit fragrances out there because it does not smell like cheap fruit punch or a sticky mango body spray. This is more of a realistic green mango, mango leaf, papaya, creamy coconut, sugarcane, and soft floral musk type of scent. The official note breakdown lists mango pulp, mango leaves, papaya, jasmine, magnolia, creamy coconut, green sugarcane, and sandalwood. Baní smells like walking through a tropical market or island town where ripe mangoes, green mango leaves, sugarcane, and coconut are all in the air. The mango is the star, but it is not overly syrupy. It has that greener, fresher, more natural mango feel instead of that super sweet candy mango smell. The opening is bright, juicy, and tropical. You get the mango right away, but there is also a green leafy side that keeps it from being too sweet. The papaya adds more tropical fruit body, and then the coconut starts coming in, but it is not a heavy sunscreen coconut. It is smoother, creamier, and more natural. As it dries down, the florals give it a cleaner, softer feel. The jasmine and magnolia are there, but they do not turn it into a feminine white floral bomb. They just polish the fragrance and give it more class. Then the sugarcane and sandalwood come in and make it slightly sweet, warm, and smooth. To me, this is a grown tropical scent. It is fun and sunny, but it still feels niche. It is not trying to be a designer blue fragrance, and it is not trying to be another basic coconut beach scent. It has personality. Baní smells like:green mango, tropical fruit, creamy coconut, sugarcane, soft florals, and warm skin. Performance:Longevity: 6–8 hoursProjection: moderate, about 2–3 feet early onSillage: noticeable but not loudDry down: soft tropical musk, sugarcane, coconut, and sandalwood Best occasions:Pool day, brunch, vacation, casual summer wear, warm evenings, beach-type settings, or anytime you want a tropical scent that still smells niche and grown.

On my too two favorite summer fragrances from the house ( along with Galloway ). All kinds of citrus with a fresh mint up top. Lavender, geranium, olibanum and Rosemary round out the mod. And there's a soft touch of vetiver ( although not enough to make it smell dirty), with cedar, sandalwood and a healthy dose of ambroxan that makes it push for way longer than most Freshies. I really enjoy it. In my opinion this is definitely the longest lasting and highest projecting freshie in the line. What are your experiences with this?

I've been coming to the realization lately that I really enjoy fragrances with a prominent fig notes. I have a handful, but I'd like to try some more and I'd love to hear your suggestions. I currently own.. Fig ecstasy and fig me up by Mancera Liam by Lattafa Light blue Capri in love by D&G And a sample of Parisian Musc by Matiere Premiere which is next on my list once I find a steal or tester. Anything else you gents think I should get my nose on?
