Banana Creme Pudding. In the end turns into vanilla and burnt sugar.

When I wear this, I feel like I’m at a carnival in Fiji taking part in a Capoeira dance. What a beautiful fragrance and that Banana note is amazing!

Finding a fresh banana-centered frag is no easy task!
Vanilla Banane was the only one a) whose notes fitted my preferences, b) I could source, c) I could ship to my country with minimum hassle.
You can find it in CSP official website.
In fact, while I was at it, I took the opportunity to purchase only samples, for testing purposes:
Vanille Banane
Vanille Extreme
Coco Extreme
Matin Câlin
Épices Sultanes
Jasmin Dentelle (offered)
I’m on the process of reviewing the 6 of them.
So far, I published my feedback on Vanille Extreme, which was a fail unfortunately.
Vanille Banane started that whole CSP testing experience, so I was greatly excited to try it on, obviously.
The orange kick impart a positive vibe to that fruity, lactonic opening.
Alas, no whipped cream to be detected. That dairy part is close to Vanilla Extreme’s: yogurt tanginess.
But contrary to Vanille Extreme, Vanilla Banane is actual yogurt – not yogurt yeast only.
With artificial banana flavoring.
Banana doesn’t smell as advertised, which is a shame because fresh banana was the note that attracted me at 1st place.
Instead, this is banana flavored yogurt, with no real fruit bits. That part is realistic, btw!
The vanilla is exactly the same as Vanille Extreme’s.
And the dry down also: banana disappears within 2 hours and I’m left with Vanille Extreme instead.

I love this playful scent. It reminds me of Bonnamo Turkish Taffy. Summery, light and playful. It is not a plastic scent, just a sweet and light one.

I must say I’m dissapointed,first lets start with what they did right which was the banana it’s a yummy candied banana almost tropical in a way,now what’s wrong with the fragrance first of all that yummy banana smell lasts about 10 mins before it dries down and the dry down is awful it’s the exact same play doughy vanilla that you get in vanille extreme it’s not a yummy creamy vanilla it’s just straight up play dough I don’t like vanille extreme or this for that reason and I’m a huge vanilla fan,the best perfume from this house that I’ve tried scent wise is vanille abricot it doesn’t have that fake vanilla that this has found they would have just used that vanilla in this it would have been a winner for me
yamixa – :
This sounds fabulous. A sweet tropic scent.
I just ordered this. I have vanilla abricot , love it.
I collect scents, like most people on this site do.
Most scents last a long time on my skin, I hope this does too. I like this brand. One of my favorite scent
genres is the Tropics.
plataj – :
I am so happy that this fragrance is being offered again on Comptoir Sud Pacifique’s site! If you love the scent of bananas, then you will love this perfume.
bratkondrat11 – :
top notes, artificial banana, that smells exactly like those banana toffee retro sweets. Lasts about 10 minutes on my skin, which is followed by a green note, which I presume must be the “banana leaf”. This note disappears fairly quickly and what follows is a burnt sugar smell. Too sweet!
nab329Negeltzex – :
this was a good one. sweet banana. Layering it with amour de cocoa made me smell like a bananna split
Giben – :
PERFECTION !
Vanille Banane’s top notes are banana, cream and orange…I do not smell any orange when I spray it or cream either. Kid you not, I smell some vanilla, some banana but mainly Pineapple Fanta ! Fizzy Pineapple that is just heavenly. Or maybe banana-pineapple fanta… Somewhat natural smelling even, but sweeeeet. But that phase is over soon and then it’s just banana creaminess.
For me after 5-10 minutes it starts to get creamier and more Vanilla, Rum and still banana. If you’re wondering what that combination smells like it reminds me of ylang and vanille scent. As a yellow flower with sweetness I can see how ylang ylang is much like banana, in that sense.
This is one of my favourite scents, no matter what time of year it is. So lucky to have bottle of this.
medvedevsi – :
Love it! It is 1000% banana. I’m with everyone else who just wanted to have something sweet, foody and reminiscent of good times. It was a blind buy for me too, but if you know you want something this specific, how can you go wrong? It’s great for layering (I’m wearing it with L’Instant right now!) but is also so nice and comforting to wear alone. Perfect for kind of an odd ball fragrance! I would call it cute 🙂
ExcatotoVar – :
Oh my goodness where can I find this in the USA??? Sounds like my next obsession!!!
arusss – :
At one time I loved this. If I remember correctly it smelled very comforting, gourmand, oriental. Edible and tropical.
You know how you associate a scent with a point in time? I had been wearing this and a couple others from CSP, while my mother was ill. When she went into the ICU I wore the Banane all the time, very lightly and the scent was comforting to me when my nerves and everything else needed comfort. Shortly after my mother passed, I stopped wearing it and when I smelled it several months later it brought me right back to the ICU and I just couldn’t revisit that time again. None of the others brought me back like the banana did so I had to get rid of it.
Other people have perfumes that remind them of bad relationships, ex-lovers, I have one that reminds me of hospitals and illness and this is it. Other than that, it IS a nice scent-as mentioned above, I loved it at one time but that time is over.

mmmm mm mm!!! got this in the mail today and was soo happy!! it was another blind buy – i obsessed over the banana note and had purchased a couple perfumes from that category. and im so glad i got this one! it really does smell like bananes – real, ripe, juicy bananas, mixed with delicious sweet vanilla. i absolutely love it! and yes, i do like smelling like bananas! i just wish it lasted longer because the lasting power is unfortunmately like that of a body mist. 🙁
Bakytjan_kz – :
Deliciouse banana ice cream !! And very natural smelling.
It seems to be very close to your skin so I guess this is a fragrance to enjoy just for you.
And I think it is a good thing as I dont want to go around smelling like banana ice cream even if it is sooooooooooo god.
VentBotogor – :
This is delectable – it smells exactly like one of those yummy, banana toffees from the sweet shop – sweet, creamy, vanillary and bananary – uber delicious! Unfortunately it is tantalisingly fleeting,and lasts for a really disappointingly short time. It makes for a wonderful, comforting bedtime fragrance. If they would only reformulate this to make it last longer, it would make a great summertime signature scent
mperetokin – :
Banana cream pie, my fiance loves it. I think its a little bit like those banana hard candies you find, this scent is NOT for everyone. Undeniably delicious and short lasting, but the price is good and its discontinued, so if this sounds appealing get it now! The reviews are spot on.
wbmstr – :
a VERY genuine scent of super ripe bananas. you have to like bananas to like this scent. very smooth and creamy, but clean and fresh. this one is odd, because it’s a sweet scent (obviously) but it’s not exactly a warm musky type scent. i could easily wear this in springtime, not only winter. this is a gem! especially if you like the smell of bananas, it’s a must! unfortunately, i’m not a fan of bananas.. actually, i sort of hate bananas. it’s just a nice addition to my collection.
jac638speagoessenda – :
“Vanille Banane” is another surprise by Comptoir Sud Pacifique. It really captures the genuine scent of bananas and banana leaves and mix these “strange” notes with vanilla and rum. Lovely composition and it stays for 4-5 hours on my skin. I know it’ll sound strange, but the base reminds me of cardboard boxes…
yashhenko – :
This smells so good… but I agree that it doesnt have lasting power…and that’s why I never bought it. Inexpensive, so I’m not surprised. It’s a shame because there isn’t alot of genuine banana scented perfumes and I’m looking for one of quality, badly.
ffklaster – :
i love the scent of bananas. this is totally fabulous, but unfortunately, it doesnt have much lasting power. it is a lovely example of the usage of the essence of banana in fragrance though, truly tropical and exotic. if only it lasted longer..
Injuroengerne – :
OK if you want to smell like Laffy Taffy…I love CPS les vanilles but this one just wasn’t for me 🙁
шрек и феона 1312122 – :
The reviews for this fragrance were spot on! So, I can’t claim to not know what I was getting myself into when I bought this. I wanted this because I needed a whiff of nostalgia–the banana flavored gum my granny always handed us when we visited. A sane person would probably go the grocery store pick up some of that gum. The idiot I am bought a whole bottle which-I just realized-is more than enough and not very practical.
This scent is bananas. B. A. N. A. N. A. S. The embodiment of funny.
bukdub – :
Hahah I agree with the first post. It smells great, and I’d love to have it part of my collection… but people might wonder why I smell like bananas- it’s not often that you smell them on people!
sergey19811 – :
Hummm
beautiful and funny sweet fragrance!
Delicious!
demorcass – :
this fragrance is very foody!
it smells like chocolate bananas, really sweet.
its nothing for every day, but if you go out for an ice cream or coffee & cake i think its a funny nice perfume!!
Erikalove – :
I love bananas in most forms, even the artifical candies and everything, so I had high expectations for this fragrance! I thought it was divine! My only hesitation was that it smelled so much like delicious, creamy bananas that I wondered what people would think smelling me. If I smelled someone else wearing that fragrance, I would seriously wonder if they were carrying a bunch of ripe bananas on them, or had just finished drinking a banana smoothie.
