Fluevalup – :
Simple, subtle, and well composed. Very good scent for the price.
Performance sucks, but put a few extra sprays on and it should last you a few extra hours.
fukalotivanas – :
It’s very nice indeed!
Although I agree with pretty much everyone that longevity is too weak. Like super weak!!
Actually, the basenote lingers.. it’s stroger than first thought..
якубов – :
Batch number 18197RA, 2018 (only 2-3 months old)
Initial thoughts:
Weak, terrible alcoholic opening… I was wondering if it was the carrier solution or a note.
After wearing all day and constantly topping up with a fresh squirt every hour:
A subtle sweet, nutty, boozy almost gourmand scent…
For me it is just addictive!!!
Third day on the trot that I am wearing it today, and I cannot get enough
Longevity is poor, like most scents today and sillage is below average.
Heavenly!
Scent 10/10
Performance 3/10
ilqar – :
Although I’ve had this for a few years, I decided today would be the day to wear it considering its been a while!
This fragrance is a great fragrance that doesn’t shout, (as someone else pointed out) “Hey I am in the room,” but when you get a whiff of this in passing it does say, “Wow you smell good!”
Black Walnut has a great tobacco smokiness along with a woodsy, sweet smell that is very intriguing. Another fragrance that comes to mind is Valbonne of the house of Molton Brown the Navigation Scents line. Although different, these resemble a dominant tobacco smokiness that is very uplifting in my estimation.
alex1988 – :
The is a great office scent for me. One of those, which doesn’t scream like “Hey its me, i’m here” Very soft, close to skin fragrance. This is not something that will blow you away, nothing awesome, but the simplicity is kinda nice. I like it.
I would have loved it if it lasted longer. Not at all a projection beast. Doesn’t last at all on skin,and if its hot. Mayb 2-3 hours then gone. But if its cold, and you go little trigger friendly, then it will last 6-7 hours, better try on clothes. Such cheap price for 125ml, i think one can go for higher number of sprays than usual.
Vend01 – :
One of my girlfriend’s favorites on me, though it’s the least expensive in my collection. I definitely like it, though I’m not in love with it.
lox.sh – :
This seems like primarily Iso-E with some minor accents, but most reminds me of Molecule 01, which is why it seems boozy at first but finishes with such a distinctly dry and light/airy woodsy impression. I am a huge fan of Iso-E-super – one of the best synthetic notes out there, very similar to cashmeran – and recognized my old friend as soon as I had sprayed this on.
This actually has more sillage than you think, but it presents itself on almost the olfactory equivalent of the subconscious level.
Which is great because:
1. Over-application is almost impossible, and
2. It’s so much more affordable than Molecule 01.
Karik2008 – :
A great scent. Warm and woody, but not heavy. Sexy in a soft, lazy way…does have longevity issues, but reasonable price allows for multiple respraying without breaking the bank.
fol337elipseskism – :
This was on my test list for a long time, but was quickly forgotten once I started trying more higher-end stuff. Why go backwards to try a $20 scent?
Im glad i did because it is very fine indeed. Highly underpriced for the quality of scent.
Others complain of no longevity or projection but it’s quite strong and has lasted since I sprayed 6 hours ago. This is a warm, comfort scent not a hey look at me. If it was a projection/longevity monster I think it would ruin what this scent is about and would get annoying and out of place.
kikbokser – :
What I dig about the Banana scents is by and large they come across as so affable. Yes, they tend to be very safe and not everyone’s into fragrance houses that don’t take chances- I get that. But their scents are like their brand: tailored, preppy and hipster. What can I tell ya- a spoonful of pretentiousness helps the medicine go down.
Black Walnut qualifies as masculine but is also friendly and approachable. It has its arms open ready to give you a big hug. Similar to Clinique’s “Happy” in that sense although it is a much different offering. And it is quite reminiscent of the discontinued (sniffle) Tommy Bahama Men, only with a drizzle of syrup stirred in.
Sadly Black Walnut lacks in the projection department, but it still lasts a surprisingly long time on the skin- sticking very close. It also develops in a neato-mosquito way. On me it transformed into a super pleasant version of Axe body spray before settling into nutmegish soapy joy.
I say go for it and blind buy. Black Walnut is low-key special and pretty affordable.
Валерия Апокина – :
I miss this thing so much. I loved it. I wore the shit out of it. Everyone around me told me how nice I smelled every time I put it on. I stood out but I weren’t off-puttin’. It was mature but I could rock it in me twenties without feelin’ like a toddler in me Dad’s shoes. It was the first tobacco fragrance I ever loved without even realisin’ it had tobacco in it because at the time I didn’t know clue one about notes or anythin’ like that. I just knew I smelt the nuts in it. I think this thing’s why I’m drawn to tobacco now thinkin’ about it.
Even THE PACKAGIN’ was amazin’ I used that wooden box to store cufflinks in for YEARS. It outlasted THE FRAGRANCE. It’s probably still floatin’ around me place somewhere. I wouldn’t mind findin’ that.

After 2ndinitial wearing —
So after smeliling and owning close to over 300 fragrances at this point it’s hard for me to really find scents that are LOVE at first sniff, but after smelling this I can honestly say I found a gem that has done that for me.
To describe this smell I’d say this opens up with a very rich,lush, tobacco and cognac blend that’s very pleasant and although cognac and tobacco can be more dark and spicier notes that can be old mannish I’d say this is also very fresh and modern. This is also very similar to CK One Shock but this is a way lighter, less syrupy version. It’s also more masculine!
Also 1 weird thing about this is even though it’s masculine I could also see a woman wearing this !
Performance on this could be better but then again I got better performance than most. This really only jumps off the skin and projects for 20-30 minutes but this leaves a nice scent bubble and Sillage trail for the duration of the fragrance. On me this lasted 5-8 hours.
It’s 1 of those fragrances that you think that it’s gone and then maybe you start moving or pass someone in the hall and either they compliment you or you start catching whiffs of it yourself.
Girlfriends thoughts: She did say she did like it better than most tobacco scents and did like it over all but if I was going to wear a scent like this she would prefer Burberry London
Overall rating —8 of 10 ! I personally love this and already it’s in my top 10 favorite smelling. It’s s beautiful more clean smelling tobacco scent and would be a great scent to start with if your trying to expand your collection from just freshies or want something more mature without being dated.
roberto – :
Sad, the other reviews are true. One of the best scent I have smelled. But no sillage or longevity. I mean you can barely smell it after a few hours. I will wear this at home when its about to get intimate. Since I found an occasion for it and its cheap, I will buy it again. Close quarter combat only.
Update
No sillage but does have longevity. I sprayed this on my beard and the next day I could smell it on my scarf. It’s still that fresh out of shower, right before sex, in the fall scent to me. If a soft scent.
snacker – :
I bought this for myself because I liked how it smelled on a friend of mine. It was just ok on me. Ultimately it was just too much cedar for me (I felt like I had spent the night with a promiscuous hamster). I gave it to another friend of mine who really fell in love with it while at my house this past weekend. So, I’m glad that it found a new home. I shall worship it from afar. LOL.
RPeegualgala – :
This may be the nicest smelling fragrance I’ve ever put my nose on and at $20 a bottle you can get 4 bottles for the cost of many other designer juices. That’s a good thing, because you’re going to need every ml to keep this fragrance alive on your skin. If you don’t mind carrying an atomizer and re-applying Black Walnut nearly every hour you will be rewarded with one of the richest scents ever created. I’m game. It’s that amazing!
Natalya25167 – :
…. Where there are luxury items like tobacco or cognac and in particular with
addictive ….
Then there H.Fremont and creates perfume these components to a base of Virginia cedar ….. rewarded in 2007 FiFi Award !!
Brilliant !!!!
The fragrance is both uplifting and mood natural …..
Fremont has created a fragrance as well as addictive as the ingredients themselves !!
gamered – :
I’ve owned this bottle for several years. I live in a tropical climate, so this fragrance gets sprayed maybe a handful of times during the “winter”. I’m drawn to the tobacco and booze notes. It’s just too bad the performance is weak. Still worth a pick up if you’re into this style.
Grade: B-
pribludaa – :
I smelled this in a discount store last week. This would be a decent replacement for the now out-of-production Tommy Bahama! It really has that same lazy, spicy, whisky, sex thing going. Unfortunately there is a performance issue. Fleeting longevity is one thing, but 20 minutes?? Unacceptable.
sahivva – :
Picked this up in the 100ml for $20us. Have to say LOVE the smell….absolute shame that it vanishes so quick! If Mugler, Zara, Amouage or Versace would duplicate the scent and add their longevity and sillage this would be a timeless classic…but hey, for .20 cent per ml who can complain right??? For what it is worth, the scent is nothing more than a skin scent and is a PURE Black Walnut aroma almost all the way through..smells exactly like fresh cut Black Walnut and that to me is great…I love woodsy scents and this one has it…for about 30 mins sadly…
roman-drobot – :
$20 Banger. Worth every cent in my honest opinion. Excellent take on a faux-fresh tobacco, booze, woods contemporary masculine scent. Light performance. Smells expensive.
apxunka – :
Pleasant perfume but very light, and disappears within 30 minutes.
It is not expensive but still doesnt justify how weak it is
Suvenir – :
Every autumn and winter, I feel like this.
I adore perfumes with a weak sillage. It’s not too loud. Humble enough but not invisible.
This one is just right.
According to the other comments, longevity seems to be an issue but the woody drydown clings to my clothes all day.
banana5130 – :
Some of the reviews were right. This is a light fragrance that fades fast. Starts fairly pleasant but fades fast. Too light for me to recommend.
qttv – :
Booze and woods!
Ok, perhaps not just like that. But black walnut is like a simpler and subdued version of CK Shock.
I find it quite attractive, masculine but not dense and heavy. The tobacco is beautiful, I can imagine myself wearing this perfume on a frigid day and oh, must be heaven!
It’s not groundbreaking and longevity is a short lived one but still, this is a good scent.
One thing that never disappoints about BR fragrances is the bottles, always good quality, simple refinement and classic.
beasttro – :
To quote a song from one of my favourite bands; U2 and Magnificent. Pure classy male scent. My ongoing search for nice fragrances has gone from good, better, best! What may top this? I got Chanel Allure Sport coming up next in my mail box and also going to London soon….
shandor2004 – :
FYI all, I just found this at Ross for $19.99 for a 3.4oz.
8lithiumava – :
Mango Plantation below says it all. I also found Black Walnut lacking in depth and very dry, which translated into weak silage and longevity. The cognac and cedar notes are simply too shy to make a presence. This is basically a plain, tobacco based fragrance, not sweet at all. In fact, I figured that it would benefit from some sweetness and layered it with Pal Zileri Cashmere E Ambra (which is way too sweet on its own). If you like experiments, get a sample of Cashmere E Ambra and try combining the two. It really worked for me and made Black Walnut much more wearable.
sns108 – :
To me this is probably the nicest smell I have ever had the pleasure to experience. Its just perfect! The performance on skin is weak, therefore a few sprays on hair or clothing helps this amazing juice to stay on longer. Harry Fremont knows his job!
jlt052speagoessenda – :
BAD BLIND BUY>
I just threw $20.00 down the toilet at T.J. Marshalls.
Nice box and nice bottle.
Spritz….spritz….. on my wrists and back of hands.
1 minute later ……. I can smell almost NOTHING.
Damn you T.J. Marshalls for not having testers !!!!!!!
malishtim – :
Banana Republic’s Black Walnut is a great tobacco/woody/citrus grouping. The note breakdown doesn’t do it much justice, with the summary of tobacco, cognac, cedar. It’s mostly tobacco with some light sweetness from cedar, but I get sharper citrus aspects (lemon, perhaps) that seem to go unnamed.
Light on projection and longevity but also low on price (now $20 for 100ml at Marshall’s), Black Walnut is a great option for a lighter, more warm weather-friendly tobacco expression than is generally available. Black Walnut is a great year-round option for tobacco and certainly something that can be applied in both casual and formal situations.
It’s a pleasant fragrance at a great value—it’s worthwhile for any man to try, not just fans of tobacco, and I’ve even go so far as to say that some women might deem it pleasant for them too. If there is a tobacco fragrance that is not super sweet that may work for women, this may be it.
7 out of 10
boibrabet – :
Very nice composition. The tone is rugged, rustic, and deep; the blending is superb. While Cordovan and Slate might be dismissed as “well-executed but cliché”, Black Walnut, I feel, is able to distinguish itself within the tobacco-and-boozey-oriental genre- and is worth seeking out.
After several wearings and comparing, I do agree that it shares some similarities with Tommy Bahama Men (2005), as well as Zirh Ikon. TBM has a dry, bitter-spicy edge, and ZI has a lively top and upper-heart that makes it project at the onset- but the drydowns of all three- heavy with frankincense and solemn woods- are quite similar. Black Walnut has an overall “smooth” vibe from beginning to end- devoid of those sharper peaks of the other two- preferring instead to hum along on your skin with a reserved presence.
Sillage and longevity: sillage is moderate-to-soft for the first 5 hours, falling to soft afterward, keeping the skin deliciously-scented of wood, incense, and musk at an intimate distance well beyond the 12-hour mark.
EDIT: If you’re wondering why I rate the longevity higher than most, it may be because I generally only scent my arms and sometimes legs- never along the center of my body; this keeps the scent from hitting my nose continuously, keeping it from becoming fatigued to my own scent. Therefore, ‘Black Walnut’ performs as a long-lasting skin-scent of base-notes well after the first 5 hours of mod-soft projection.
Yupik – :
It’s absolutely delicious; warm and rich, just like a man should be 😉
Seriously though, this is one of my favourite smells for men, and smells like authentic luxury.
107Joker – :
It’s a classic woodsy scent , get’s lots of compliments, I like to use it alone or together matches Jo Malone pomegranate noir , for a more vibrant elegant scent , I use it for special occasions
ruslan_kot – :
nice, pleasant and safe. awesome for everyday use nothing aggressive or crazy or weird about this cologne, just a simple sweet woody scent. i like it a lot, and it gets decent longevity with relatively little projection.
worm-rc5 – :
This is a very pleasant scent, but unfortunately, also very weak. I have to jam my wrist into my nose just to get a whiff of it after only a few minutes of spraying. Such a shame it wasn’t made with higher quality ingredients.
kornilov-33 – :
Very pleasant and soothing fragrance ……
While the ingredients are simple, the effect is extremely complex system!
Durability is fine. Harmony with the sweet nature of the “black” called ……
Wonderful composition! Less popular, but more convincing phenomenon ……..
Anyone who becomes one with the fragrance of the opening of the “nutshell” and find your inner values!
Up to Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker story ……. elegant, masculine and majestic charisma,
while the overall effect makes the solemn moment ………… Bravo!
snurid – :
I didn’t smell this long enough to give feedback on notes exactly, but I smelled it on a random guy the other day and LOVED it.
Me, like a creeper: *shoulder tap* Hey, what cologne are you wearing? You smell great.
Him, all smiles: Banana Republic Black Walnut!
Me, creeper mode continues: ….Can I smell you? Is that weird?
Him, Mr. Smiley Pants: Sure!!! *leans head away*
…good thing I wasn’t a vampire or something, muahah. He’d be so done for. Rofl! Anyway seriously it’s REALLY yummy and appears to have decent sillage! <3 Want to smell it again, may get my own sample.
netin – :
Interesting. That sums it up. Tobacco and booze! Probably good during the long wintery nights.
6/10
tyl785elipseskism – :
This is a gorgeous fragrance. From beginning to end, it was, “Mmmmm…so good.” Black Walnut is dark, warm, and slightly spicy with a woody undertone. There is a sweet vestigial essence around the cognac with a hint of tobacco that adds to its appeal. It does not have great sillage, so this one is for close contact enjoyment. She loves hugging me with this one on. Additionally, the wood box for it is a beauty. It’s unfortunate that Black Walnut is lacking in the longevity department.
mank – :
At first it smells like fruity notes (such as one finds in vintage Dior Homme) and coumarin will play a big role, but then those elements seem to fade, with wood and tobacco asserting themselves, along with a creamy quality that must be the cognac idea. Later, it seems that a little patchouli and amber work their way to the fore, but never become overbearing. It lasts well and is certainly at least reasonably natural smelling. The only issue may be that it is a bit too light and blended for the person who mostly wears niche.
Корсика – :
Wow. Just Wow. This is how fragrances should be reviewed and men know how to give the information with class and style. Great thread.

Refined and unique;i wish it was more intense but i think it could be a signature scent.
bigjoe – :
So this is love…
I bought a bottle of Black Walnut online, blind, because I liked the name and it was cheap enough to take the risk. Opened my new bottle (great packaging by the way) and sprayed a sample on the back of my hand, paused a moment to recap the bottle, then inhaled the gentle smoke drifting skywards. Wow! Oh wow! Oh wow! Put my nose down against my wrist and nuzzled in amongst the leaves. Sanctuary.
I close my eyes and follow the scent trail.
I feel like some sort of small woodland animal, wet fur, sleek, bright eyed, skittering along a riverbank, before diving into my deep, dark, cosy burrow.
Just call me Mole. Just call me Ratty.
This is the English countryside in autumn, trees bare black against an electric blue cloudless sky, sun bright but cold, the incense of gently steaming bonfires floats on the still air, evidence of unseen labour quietly keeping everything in neat order. ‘England, forever England’ as described in ‘The Wind in the Willows’ . This is a timeless countryside, not so far removed from Middle Earth, imagined into being in the comfort of an Edwardian gentleman’s club amidst leather chairs, brandy, cigars.
If you’ve never read Wind in the Willows, try it. It is a classic – it works on many levels so it is suitable for children and adults. Full of fable, adventure, homoeroticism, and mysticism.
Black Walnut is how I in 2013 imagine the smell of Wind in the Willows and the Edwardian masculinity it celebrates.
Fragrance as literary criticism. Intelligent perfume?! I had no idea that was possible.
This is not a sexy fragrance unless you find intelligence erotic and then it captivates. I think you need to pick up on the allusions and then it charms.
I am in love with this smell.
11112222 – :
I tested 3 fragrances in the banana republic official outlet, Black Walnut, Slate and Cordovan.
Black Walnut is not what I expected.it is sweet oriental fragrance definitely woody but not strong one very calm and subtle with below average projection and longevity.
For me its not the best but its just an ok fragrance.
Bottle and packaging is great
I give it 6.5 out of 10.

Girl Review :
feel like you walk in forest that just rain 🙂 when i smell it i can feel pure wood on me ; but when it on my skin , its just stay only 1-2 hours
Bibip – :
This reminds me of Jacques Bogart only in it’s tobacco note, because it is similar however this is so much better, again it would be hard to find. But the tobacco note in this is so much better than most tobacco notes I’ve smelled. I love tobacco but i find a lot of tobacco notes i colognes to be a little nauseating, this is just so well done, one of the best I’ve ever found. I also love the blending especially its simple blend with cognac its just a little boozy. I expected the combination to be a little too “men’s club”, however, it was a much warmer scent while maintaing its masculinity.
Bottom Line: It is a great scent, a real gem, however, like the best gems it’s hard to find. One of the best tobacco’s i’ve ever smelled while still being overtly tobacco without being an excessively or overtly masculine while still being strongly grounded as a refined gentleman’s scent.
wdrei – :
Ahh..what a genuine good stuff we have here!
It’s really impressive this one.
Cognac + Cedar is really getting me!
It settles to cognac/tobaco combination that makes you feel enojoying the aura around you!
Smells like a wooden room where cognac is saved..a bit humid..woody..deep..& relaxing!
Amazing!

The only down side..you won’t easily find it! 🙁

Love this one & very woody fragrance, but I have to be in the right mood to wear it.
Ale310378 – :
I find the notes in this so well blended,no one note dominates here.of cos I was intrigued by just the three notes that supposedly make up this fragrance.not sure what accounts for the sublime sweetness though.
I have no problems with longevity at all.I can still smell it even after 8hours.I must admit I achieved that on a cool rainy day so cant vouch for that in all seasons.but I can see it as being ideal for evening wear and on cold days and clearly will fit a mature man.Given it’s elegance,mellow nature and slight sweeness women can -and I mean WOMEN-can easily pull this off without raising curious eyebrows
Not tried all from this house but I can see this as a very good one from banana republic.well done!

On my skin
Top : Fresh-grass feel, with tobacco notes in it, kind of reminds on some of those fresh aquatic fragrances. Woody at the same time. There is some alcohol note in it, but I am not sure, it is kind of muted on me.
Middle: The top surprises me. It jumps out more when it settles down on my skin. It becomes more fresh, louder and pleasant, with some grassy scent popping out.
Base: Sweet, grassy scent, with some ambery, sweet woody vibe.
Good projection.
LADY KILLER!
100% masculine scent =)
BUY! This is really an under rated fragrance. It takes fresh scent to the next level.
3 sprays max. 1 on the neck, 2 on each arm.
My rating (base on 5 stars)
Scent: 4 (Nice).
Sillage: 4 (good projection).
Time length: 3 (6-8 hours).
Occasion: 4 (work scent, going out scent, dating scent).
Overall base on mathematics: 3.75/5

I just got my 100ml bottle of BR’s Black Walnut 2days ago….and folks I’m LOVING it! This was a “blind buy” because I thought you can’t go wrong with the notes of Cognac, Cedarwood and Tobacco. I was right! I would call this a sublime and elegant woody scent. Suits the 25-35 yrs age group. The frag cycles through the Cognac and Cedarwood (reminds me of “pencil shavings”) notes in the first 3hours and then settles into the lovely Tobacco drydown. Its not loud at all and is close to the skin. I could sniff it on my wrist about 6-7 hrs after the first spray. Projection and sillage are weak to average. It comes in a classy black wooden box with magnetic edges and a lovely petite but sturdy bottle. The spritzer could’ve been better though. On the whole I’m very happy with this purchase. (My last purchase was Guerlain’s L’Instant Pour Homme EDT).
Black Walnut is a frag for the true connoisseur i.e- for pure self satisfaction as opposed to the “hey check me out” desperado!! Understated class.
serg8219 – :
Dark and modern woody scent; almost burnt but not bitter. It’s definitely spicy and kinda dry but not very strong. Sweetness is very little to none and a bit boozy too. Mature men could wear this but young ones may have a hard time pulling this off. It’s perfect gift for the father’s day.
AndyDrg – :
it was cheap and cheerful when I bought it. great for a fragrance to wear when you are running to the local to pick up milk. Its gone by the time the cereal has been eaten but at least you weren’t naked when you hit the milk bar and you it won’t make any difference to the next choice of the day.
lenin6969 – :
This is a suble elegant fragrance but
unfortunily does not last on my skin
but neverless i like it. it starts with
semi-sweet cognac a wisp of tabacco and
the drydown of sharp ceder; i love the clean lines from this flacon and the
box its self reminds me of an black
lacquered oriental style box where you
put your tabacco in.
my opinions about this fragrance conjoures up two sayings
the singer not the song & the crakerjacks without the prize
it offers us it with it’s elegant packaging but the scent sells short.
without the prize

Dark spicy wood is the essence of BLACK WALNUT, a relatively linear Banana Republic fragrance marketed to men, but which is entirely suitable for women as well. Unfortunately, the staying power and sillage are not so great, but this is an edt, not an edp.
Although BLACK WALNUT is not sweet, I find it delicious all the same. Now that I look at the notes, it must be the combination of the cognac and the tobacco–feels like pipe, not cigar or cigarette–that accounts for the delectable, rich and enticing quality of this warm woody fragrance. Yum! I may have to buy a large bottle to douse myself in!
Thourlmum – :
My husband bought a bottle last winter and I really adored it.
First, I have to say that the presentation of the perfume is really gorgeous, a really good quality box and bottle with an elegant design. Well , perhaps thats the less important for a perfume lover but I just wanted to say it.
When I smelled the fragrance, I was really shocked.. It reminded me a particular place in my grandparents house. They had an enormous living room an in a part of it there was a wooden and glass case where my grandfather kept his whiskeys, cognacs and licuors, and some whiskey glasses … When I opened the glass doors of this furniture I could smell that gorgeous mixture of wood , whiskey , cognac , and licuor…well, thats the smell of this incredible perfume. I just love to smell it on my husband, and .. I decided to try it on myself too… guess what… it is really amazing on me too.. so elegant and gorgeous.. I really love it… a perfect men perfumes and a great perfume for dare women.
