Banadir 97 — Banadir 97 by Banadir Fragrance – Sample Decant

Overview

Rich, warm, and unapologetically luxurious, Banadir 97 by Banadir Fragrance is an amber-gourmand fragrance built around spicy citrus, smoky tobacco, dried fruits, creamy vanilla, and deep resinous woods.

It opens with a lively combination of rum, bitter orange, cardamom, pink pepper, ginger, bergamot, and grapefruit, creating a warm, boozy citrus introduction with an elegant spicy edge.

As it develops, dried fruits, blonde tobacco, saffron, sandalwood, tuberose, osmanthus, jasmine, and orris create a rich and sophisticated heart. The dried fruits add sweetness while tobacco and saffron bring warmth and depth, balanced by creamy woods and smooth florals.

The dry-down becomes deeper and more indulgent with tonka bean, vanilla, myrrh, labdanum, patchouli, musk, cedar, and vetiver, leaving behind a warm, creamy amber trail with smoky, woody, and slightly gourmand character.

Inspired by Blonde Amber by Clive Christian, Banadir 97 captures the luxurious combination of warm amber, sweet tobacco, dried fruits, spices, vanilla, and tonka that defines the original scent profile. Clive Christian highlights bitter orange, blonde tobacco, and tonka as three of Blonde Amber's key notes.
