Banana Republic Black Walnut Cologne

No walnut turns up anywhere in the formula for Banana Republic Black Walnut Cologne, despite the name, cognac, tobacco and cedar making up the entire thing instead, cognac standing alone at the top, warm and boozy, a rich fermented sweetness arriving without any citrus preamble at all. Tobacco takes the heart alone, dry and leafy, deepening the cognac rather than changing direction. Virginia cedar finishes it by itself, sharp and dry, cutting cleanly through everything that came before. The name promises a nut the note list never delivers, and yet the cognac and tobacco together do produce something that reads as woody and faintly sweet in exactly that way, which may well have been the intention. Anyone drawn to woody fragrances will find Banana Republic Black Walnut Cologne, an Eau de Toilette, suits cooler months and understated occasions perfectly. Reach for Banana Republic Black Walnut Cologne again and again without ever tiring of it.
