Performance: Longevity, Sillage & Versatility

Longevity (3/10): Banana Flambee delivers below-average longevity for Cologne. On most skin types expect 2–3 hours. Layering with an unscented moisturiser before application improves staying power on drier skin types.

Sillage (4/10): Banana Flambee projects in a close, intimate register. Application to pulse points — wrists, neck, and behind the ears — maximises projection without overwhelming the room.

Versatility (5/10): Banana Flambee is suited to a specific context, with a clearly defined personality that not all occasions can accommodate. It thrives in its intended context but may feel mismatched further outside that sweet spot.

Value (7/10): Pricing at around $25 feels appropriate for what you get — neither a bargain nor an overreach.
