The story behind the bottle.
Céline Ellena's Bana Banana by L'Artisan Parfumeur is a playful yet sophisticated composition that launched in 2019. The fragrance opens with the fresh, zesty notes of violet leaf and pepper, which contrast beautifully against the creamy sweetness of banana flower and tonka bean. This distinctive combination creates an inviting warmth, while the heart of iris and jasmine adds a touch of floral elegance. The base notes of amber and musk ground the scent in a comforting, powdery finish.
Apply Bana Banana to pulse points and let it settle for five minutes before heading out. The top notes dissipate quickly, giving way to a warm, comforting base that lasts throughout the day. It pairs well with light layers but is best enjoyed close to skin rather than in an open space.
