From Polynesian Shores to Tropical Dreams: Bananita Salum
Perfumers sought to capture the duality of tropical indulgence, sun-warmed beaches and surreal playfulness in their creation. The top note's "truckload of banana jelly" evokes a childlike synthetic glee, while the dry down's "realistic green banana peels" and resinous depth adds sophistication, creating a nod to photorealistic landscapes in white, gold and green. Sãlum’s perfumer, Sofia Bardelli, embraced 2025’s trend of banana as a trendy note (highlighted at Esxence 2025), pushing boundaries with "science fiction" accords that feel both alien and comforting
Olfactory Notes
The fragrance bursts with a playful clash of myrrh’s resinous glow, synthetic-banana jelly’s neon sweetness, and papyrus leaves’ green crispness—evoking a sun-drenched beachside market, where tropical fruit meets salty sea spray. The marine soul of coconut and oyster merges with incense’s smokiness, jasmine’s floral creaminess, and ylang ylang’s exotic richness, creating a "ballet of sea monsters and coconut dust"—a surreal, sunlit lagoon. Patchouli’s earthiness, vetiver’s grassy warmth, and vanilla-amber musks wrap the journey in a cozy, sun-warmed embrace, like twilight on Polynesian shores.
