BANANA REPUBLIC Icon Tobacco & Tonka Bean Women's Eau de Parfum Spray 2.5 oz — warm oriental-gourmand, long-lasting

Banana Republic Icon Tobacco & Tonka Bean is a warm oriental-gourmand women's eau de parfum that blends pear and plum top notes with tobacco, coconut heart accords and a vanilla-tonka base for a rich, long-lasting scent.

This 2.5-ounce spray interprets classic gourmand warmth through a modern wardrobe-ready lens. Crafted by perfumer Gino Percontino of Mane, the composition opens with bright fruit, settles into smoky, creamy tobacco and coconut, and finishes on a soft, sweet vanilla-tonka foundation. The result is a versatile fragrance that works from daytime meetings to relaxed evenings out.

What does this fragrance smell like at first spray?

The opening reads fresh and slightly fruity thanks to Anjou pear and Mirabelle plum. These top notes add immediate lift and a subtle juicy brightness before the heart develops.

• Top notes: Anjou pear and Mirabelle plum for a crisp, fruity introduction
• Instant impression: lively, slightly sweet, not overpowering
• Best for: those who prefer a sweet yet sophisticated opening

How does the scent evolve on skin throughout the day?

After the fruity opening, the heart reveals coconut and tobacco leaves that bring creamy, slightly smoky depth. Over hours the base of vanilla bean and tonka bean softens the tobacco into a warm, gourmand finish that lingers without being cloying.

• Heart notes: coconut and tobacco leaves for depth and texture
• Base notes: vanilla bean and tonka bean for a sweet, warm drydown
• Longevity: designed to last through most of the day with moderate projection

When and where is this fragrance most suitable?

Its oriental-gourmand character makes it flexible for cooler months, evenings, and transitional daytime wear. It reads a touch dressy but remains wearable for casual settings, office environments, or social gatherings.

• Season: particularly flattering in fall and winter, pleasant in spring evenings
• Occasions: office, dinner, date night, weekend outings
• Style pairings: tailored layers, leather accents, or cashmere knits
