Banadir 28 (Stellar Times)
I am madly in love with Banadir 28 (Stellar Times).
To clarify for those who are new, Banadir is a house that recently started cloning fragrances.
Now onto the review: I first received this lady on the 6th of May, having been thirteen days since then. Ever since I got it, I keep liking it more and more. It feels more like an aura. It doesn’t project loudly. Instead, it comes off very elegant and smooth, something that keeps you yearning for more as you get closer. To me, the best way I can describe it is alluring. Other than that, I could also say that it’s intimate, smooth, elegant, and captivating. While this does seem to be feminine-leaning on the unisex scale, that wouldn’t stop me from wearing this. I would absolutely love to smell this on a girl, but I would also love to wear this myself. I’m also curious about how this would smell like on somebody else.
What does it actually smell like? It’s a soft white floral amber and orange blossom, both presence of which are very pronounced. Overall, it’s just a very smooth and elegant perfume, not one note overpowering another. I only mentioned two aspects of the scent, but it can be more complex than that. I get a small hint of natural vanilla as I continue to smell it. I can also picture this being someone’s natural skin scent. Beautiful. Smooth. On skin, it projects for 2-3 hours and lasts for up to 12 hours.
While I haven’t smelled Stellar Times, I am already satisfied with Banadir 28 and plan on buying a bottle of it soon.
However, I am still curious about how it is compared to the original. If anyone else has tried Banadir 28, please let me know about your opinion on it, especially if you have smelled the original.
That ends my review for now. Next time, I’ll try reviewing 03 (Imagination), 14 (Greenley), 62 Decision, and 46 (Oud Satin Mood).
PS: To those who have tried this house, please share your own experiences with Banadir as much as possible.
