A trip down memory lane to that carefree summer night at a carnival fun fair. This gourmand heaven packs all the circus staples: frozen banana on a stick, buttered popcorn, and caramel apple goodness. It’s a photorealistic flashback to a childhood escapade on the boardwalk, by the Newport Beach Ferris wheel. You can practically hear the music and feel the magic. Enjoy this theme park treat, without the traffic + admission fee.

This opens with a burst of sweet artificial banana. I personally love artificial banana scents…milkshake, those little gummy sweets and, my personal favourite, the banana cough syrup prescribed by my doctor when I was four…one of my earliest memories was loving that cough syrup taste.
A few seconds in, the banana is equally matched by a delicious cinnamon biscuit scent, which reminds me of the digestive biscuit base on cheesecakes and millionaire shortbread.
I really like this scent, the only negative is the lasting power. While the “Butterscotch” fragrance by this brand has nuclear weapon silage and lasting power,this barely lasts an hour on me.

Not sure how to edit my comment but this is just an add on about the longevity- again it may be due to sensitive pregnancy nose but I sprayed one squirt of this on my chest this morning at 8am, it’s 5.30pm and i still keep getting strong wafts of it. It was way too strong for early morning and made me feel a little sick but it’s better once it’s calmed down a bit (although the smell is very linear, hasn’t changed at all)

I’m pregnant at the moment and have developed a fetish for banana smelling things. I spent a fortune on a blind buy of Jesus Del Pozo Quasar , due to the banana reviews it had, however I can’t smell the slightest hint of banana in it. Maybe banana leaf is something completely different??
Anyway, ordered this online last week and wow!! Almost exactly what I was looking for, a nice sweet synthetic OTT banana smell in the opening. It reminded me of those little fairy cake kits that you make with kids, my favourite used to be the ones with banana icing, probably full of E-numbers but it brought back memories.
This is a good substitute while I wait for a bottle of Lush Ladyboy to appear on eBay. That also has an amazing banana opening.
Really think I’m obsessing a bit too much over bananas at the moment?!

Slightly spicy banana. Just lovely! I spray it on liberally, as it does tent to fade. But for the price, no worries. It can be refreshed throughout the day.

At first spray I was thinking “finally a real banana smelling perfume!” but then it changed into some sort of strange Yankee Candle smelling stuff. I still like it a lot though!

This smells like banana bread, straight up. It’s not bad at all. The vanilla takes over after a while and a VERY sweet smell develops. This is very foody. So, if you’re okay with that, go for it.
Edit: There is definitely cinnamon in this.

FYI Looking for reviews of this?
This is the same scent (listed 2 times in the database) as the other Demeter Fragrance Banana Flambée shown in a smaller bottle w/ a graphic.

mmmm BANANA!
The banana is really strong, sweet and synthetic at first and reminds me of banana candy…Banana Laffy Taffy. …But at the same time its totally BANANA BREAD…with the sweet bread and banana bread spices – a little nutmeg like. As it wears there is a sort of delicious flambe cooking banana smell.
The scent becomes more creamy banana syrup sweet as it wears and less of the spice notes — or they are more blended out and its really nice.
So the “nutmeg spice” that I pick up on… it’s kinda almost a pinch of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg, but it is NOT too much or too strong. I don’t really smell distinctly “oh this is cinnamon.” Its very muted/baked in kind of thing. About 2 hours in I was like OMG I smell SO YUMMY! I seriously CRAVED banana something or other!
Very nice scent! Love it!
I need to re-wear for longevity testing. I know I got at least 4 hours (fell asleep LOL)

Begins with a sweet blast of candied banana and dries into a gingerbread scented candle. A bit synthetic but pleasant enough for the price.

Toasty banana bread is what I smell! It’s very smoky/carmalized sweetness. The banana is baked,not fresh or green. Very sticky. Good for winter nights or casual days. I’m not sure I would wear this one to work as it’s just so odd. A fun scent.
sergeev86ser – :
Very warm realistic nutty banana essence. Extremely pleasant banana aroma. It definitely makes you say Mmmmmmmmm. It doesn’t strike me as banana flambee: no alcohol present on my skin. You will smell mostly like fresh baked banana nut bread…. and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like the smell of that. I can see this definitely being a people pleaser… although they might try to nibble on you… or search your purse for the concealed baked goods!!! Definitely baked banana – definitely yum. A+ for execution. I like it. I think I’ll try layering this one with Demeter Angel Food.
It’s FUN! This review is for the splash.

I love banana scents and imo there are not enough of them on the market. THIS cures my craving. Bananas, bananas, and more bananas with a heavy dose of warm spice.
I get compliments every.single.time. I wear this – almost to the point where I get semi-annoyed at having to tell people what I’m wearing. It’s a hit!
Long lasting (especially for a Demeter scent) and silage is good!
Smells like fresh banana bread but it works as a fragrance – I don’t feel strange walking around smelling like a food.

i was eating a banana once and i thought to myself: there are too many perfumes out there with fruity ingredients, how about bananas? they sure smell nice and i gave this one a try, unfortunately, the bananas are totally overwhelmed by the other ingredients as if you are ordering a dessert in a restaurant with bananas in it…
guess i can’t complain since the name is Banana Flambee so it smells like it says, i spray it and i smell like dessert whatever that means =/
it’s nice and there are times when i dig for a scent like that but it definitely won’t be a staple in my perfume wardrobe
call me crazy but i still prefer the smell of fresh bananas

i barely detect banana in here, i think it smells like gingerbread and sugar, and has that holiday cinammony smell. I don’t think that I want to smell like a walking/breathing gingerbread:/

Every perfume I own by Demeter has been nothing less than the exact replication of the real scent, as close as the nose can get! This one is no exception. It’s hard to find any scents at all with banana notes it them, so I was super excited to smell this one when it finally arrived at my house. I literally just sat there and smelled my wrists until I had to leave….It is the perfect balance of sweetness mixed with the REAL scent of banana. The cinnamon and vanilla make it more realistic to use as a perfume, rather than walking around smelling just like a giant banana. I had so many compliments of people who walked past me and asked “what is that amazing banana smell?!”. I bought the small .5oz of this, and the second it’s gone im buying the big one!!

smells just as it should like banana flambee. you wont smell of alcohol, but merely a spiced banana-esque scent. lovely but short lasting power.
lena-mo – :
Banana icecream at the top, melting in cinnamon, a little cognac and a lot of acetone at the base. Dissapointing.
Jrock – :
I sampled this the other day…name says it all here!!
Couldn’t believe how accurate this smelled. Gives new meaning to the term ‘reality perfume’, ha! Smells like strong, sweet, caramelized banana.
Delicious scent…however, I don’t see how this is unisex. It’s entirely too sweet and fruity. But then I also don’t share the perspective of wanting to smell exactly like a dessert! 😉
