If you haven’t noticed, bananas are kind of having a moment.
Butter yellow is still everywhere, banana-flavored coffees are popping up on café menus as spring approaches and the tropical fruit is becoming the star of beauty products like skincare, lip products and fragrances.
As a self-professed banana hater (seriously, I hate everything about them — from taste to smell), I was skeptical that a banana-scented perfume or body mist was something I’d want on my body and clothes.
As a self-professed “gourmand girlie,” whose fragrance shelf is full of scents that, for lack of a better term, make me smell like a cupcake, I was intrigued. Would my disdain for bananas carry over to a body mist? Would my love for creamy and sweet fragrances with fruity notes prevail?
While the sample size, so far, is just this one body mist, I was shocked that I wasn’t turned off at all by the Ellis Brooklyn Banana Milkshake body and hair perfume mist.

This creamy, fruity gourmand starts with notes of banana milk, musk melon and papaya, with hints of apricot skin, vanilla orchid, and pineberry. A vanilla ice cream, rum wood, and tonka bean dry-down ensures the rich fragrance lasts all day.
It’s complex, layered, and an absolutely perfect spring-into-summer scent.
Banana Milkshake is available to shop in two different sizes, but we recommend the larger size because it offers more bang for your buck (about $9 per ounce for the smaller bottle, versus roughly $5 per ounce on the larger).
Trust me: this banana fragrance is worth the hype. Treat yourself this National Fragrance Day (March 21) and add this one to your cart ASAP.
