Banana Republic

Banana Republic Perfume Names Explained

Some Banana Republic fragrances have numbers in their names. 78 Vintage Green, 83 Leather Reserve, 90 Pure White, 06 Black Platinum and 17 Oud Mosaic are examples from the Icon collection.

The numbers reference years associated with the brand’s history. The 78 in Vintage Green refers to 1978, when Banana Republic began.

These five fragrances were released in 2017 and are presented as unisex. Their notes take different directions, though, so the collection name alone won’t tell you which to choose.

Banana Republic 78 Vintage Green

78 Vintage Green opens with bergamot, mandarin and green leaves. Fig, green tea, magnolia and jasmine follow, with cedarwood, vetiver and musk underneath. Fig can have a green, slightly creamy character. Here, tea and leafy notes give you more to consider than fruit alone.

If you enjoy green fragrances with citrus and woods, Vintage Green is one to compare.

Banana Republic 06 Black Platinum

Cactus isn’t a note you see in every perfume. In 06 Black Platinum, it appears alongside pink pepper and lemon. Orange blossom, jasmine and oakmoss follow, with leather, patchouli and amber in the base. Quite a mix.

Citrus and pepper bring a fresh, spicy opening. Flowers and moss add another aspect before the leather and earthier patchouli notes. Compare Black Platinum if you like leather within a fragrance that also has citrus and flowers.

Banana Republic 17 Oud Mosaic

17 Oud Mosaic features plum, rose and oud, but there’s more around them. White pepper, cardamom and plum open the fragrance. Turkish rose, saffron and labdanum follow, with oud, amber and musk forming the base.

Fruit, flowers and spices sit alongside the woody oud character. If rose and oud appeal to you, compare Oud Mosaic with the other options. It takes a warmer direction than Vintage Green’s tea and leafy notes.

Leather Reserve or Pure White?

• 83 Leather Reserve combines cypress, lemon peel, bergamot and neroli with cedarwood, suede, vetiver and tonka bean.
• 90 Pure White features green tea, grapefruit, jasmine, violet leaf, lavender and white musk.

Both are unisex, but they offer different combinations. Leather Reserve pairs citrus and woods with a softer suede character. Pure White brings citrus, tea and aromatic notes together with musk.

If suede is what interests you, look at Leather Reserve. If you prefer a fresh, musky fragrance, compare Pure White.

Start with the scent style you enjoy. For green leaves, tea and fig, compare 78 Vintage Green. For leather notes, look at 06 Black Platinum and 83 Leather Reserve. 17 Oud Mosaic offers plum, rose and oud, while 90 Pure White takes a fresher, musky direction.

Check the full fragrance name, concentration and bottle size before ordering. A larger bottle may offer better value per millilitre if you already wear the perfume. A smaller size means spending less upfront when trying something new.
