Banana Republic Classic Red by Banana Republic is a colorful twist on an old classic. The top notes of this cologne are sure to please citrus fans with juicy, sweet clementine; tart, bitter and slightly spicy bergamot; and black currant-like grapefruit. Earthy, green herbs; richly sweet syringa; and honey-like, pollen-laden honeysuckle make up the delightfully floral middle notes while the base notes are comprised of a single fragrance: rubbery, tobacco-like guaiac wood.
