mountainwitch Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 A Cuban inspired sweet treat! Ripe Bananas rolled in sugar, then fried in sweet butter until carmelized. Sprinkle with cinnamon on top, and YUM! This perfume will make you want to try that recipe yourself - delish! (Note: This blend contains cinnamon.) How is it that nobody has added a topic for this one yet? This is probably my favorite "Sugared," with the exception of Sugared Pumpkin . . . And this says a lot, because usually things that are meant to smell or taste like bananas end up making me run the other direction. This is not one of those times. For one thing, the fragrance is very definitely carmelized. It's sweet, but not too sweet, a faintly spicy and mouth-watering blend. It's perfectly compatible with several other fragrances, too, so it does make a good layering note--my samples were actually half-sized, and I carried one in my pocket for about a week to "touch up" other foody scents that had faded. Nice staying power on this one, too.
May Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 I can highly recommend trying this one layered with Valentine's Chocolates - chocolate-dipped bananas with a frosting of powdered sugar.... Scrummy! May
inkling Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Have to add a review of this after spilling enough to know the scent well. LOL Wet this smells to me like banana bread dough, not baked but gooey sweet bananas, milk, butter, vanilla & spice just before the dry ingredients are mixed in. The dry down is sweet and wonderful also, reminds me of the candy circus peanuts. Circus peanuts were a regular sweet at my house growing up so the scent association is great! Circus Peanuts
piratical dahlia Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 I love this, had to order another to give to my sister too. These reminds me of the smell of those scrummy candy banana slices the dried chip like ones. Sooo good.
knjsavy Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I ordered this after seeing it repeatedly in the potion of the day post - wet it was sugary banannas, dry down the sugar smell deepened - light caramel and the bananna softened - i got almost a hint of a nutty flavor - the cinamon is there but hangs around in the back Really nice scent - for children and adults - anything my finicky near 16yr old gives thumbs up to is definitely worth the bottle purchase
luna65 Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) This is mostly cinnamon on me as it dries down, but heavily-sweetened cinnamon. Wet, it reminds me of Bananas Foster. Really, all I need say about how awesome this one is...NOM NOM NOM. I love wearing it to bed: alone, it's very comforting, and when I'm not alone...well, someone finds me very delicious!

starlitegirl Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Mmmm this one reminds me of Me, Jane without the pheros. Sweet banana tropical scent with maybe a bit of nuts in there. On me it's close to Me, Jane, which I love.
Mademoiselle Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I ordered this one because I was hoping it would remind me of Me, Jane, which is such a lovely sweet scent for summer. Other than the fact the TAH in it is amazing, Me Jane has one of the best throw I have ever experienced with an LP perfume and my skin just seem to love it. It lasts and lasts forever. Well, sugarfried bananas is like the little sister of Me, Jane. It is a very strong, almost too strong scent at first, but after a few minutes, it turns just marvelous. It's still sweet but less noticeably bananas and smells like brown sugar + incense a little bit. It becomes more powdery and really beautiful. I am really surprised by this one and recommend it to those of you who like Me, Jane!
bruiseviolet Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 At first this is strongly banana. I thought it wasn't for me, but as it dries down it becomes soft and spicy and very candy-like. It is very nice!
JOC Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 The spices and sugar overpowered the banana after dry down although I was hoping it would stay longer. I could use this either under another scent or use it on it's one, depending on the weather.
tanya27 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 I wish I had this one.What are the notes in it?I want to make a PE like this someday soon..

luna65 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 I want to make a PE like this someday soon.. Before you do that you may want to try The World, as it is similar to this one.
tanya27 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 I don't understand what else you are asking ? Oh I meant like for the notes was it,white sugar or brown sugar ? the "World" smells like this?..Oh Thanks luna for the suggestion! I will for sure try it.
Calii Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Oh I meant like for the notes was it,white sugar or brown sugar ? Hmmm,I would think it would be brown sugar because of "carmelized" <?> but ohhh yeah The World does sound good huh,I am going to try it myself ! "candy for the nose," a delicious cake batter-like scent rich with the delights of banana, vanilla and benzoin, sweetened further by maple and a shot of rum. Happiness is assured when The World is yours to enjoy. "
