Banana Republic Slate Cologne

Minimalism gets carried through completely in Banana Republic Slate Cologne, one note per stage, citrus alone lending the top a bright, clean lift with nothing complicating it. Clary sage takes the core alone, herbal and slightly bitter, adding the only real character in the composition. Ginger holds the drydown by itself, dry and gently warming rather than spicy. Clary sage is the only note here with any real opinion. Three notes leaves very little room for error, and this works because none of the three is trying to do anything clever. The result is exactly what the name implies, understated and modern, like the color it's named for, quietly versatile. Quiet, modern and beautifully unhurried, it suits the daytime completely. Banana Republic Slate Cologne belongs to office hours and after work plans, an aromatic Eau de Toilette through and through. Comfortable, dependable and unmistakably Banana Republic, Banana Republic Slate Cologne wears exactly as promised.
