Banana Republic Modern Man Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray

Banana Republic Modern Man Eau de Toilette 100ml is a fresh, modern aquatic-woody fragrance for men, composed by perfumers Irina Burlakova and Vincent Kuczinski for the launch of the brand's Modern Collection in 2014. Designed as an everyday signature for the urban man, it opens on a clean water-and-grapefruit accord lifted by juniper and a salty seaweed twist, before settling through a touch of cyclamen and tamarind into a smoky-mineral base of vetiver, incense, birch and patchouli.

About Banana Republic fragrances

Banana Republic, the American lifestyle and apparel brand founded in 1978 and now part of Gap Inc., has been quietly building a respected fragrance wardrobe since the late 1990s. The Modern Collection, launched in 2014, is the brand's contemporary pillar — paired men's and women's compositions designed to slot into a busy daily life rather than reserved for occasion wear.

Who it's for

Modern Man suits men who reach for clean aquatic-woody fragrances — the same audience that already wears Dior Sauvage, Bleu de Chanel or Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme. The bright grapefruit-and-seaweed opening makes it especially comfortable in spring and summer daytime wear, while the smoky vetiver-and-incense drydown carries it into cooler weather and evening contexts.

How to use

1. Spray two to three times onto pulse points — the inside of the wrists, the base of the neck, the chest.
2. Hold the bottle around 15 cm from the skin for an even mist.
3. For a longer-lasting trail, mist once onto the collar of a shirt or onto a wool jumper.
4. Don't rub the wrists together after spraying — it bruises the top notes and shortens the longevity of the fragrance.
