BananFruity Woody Extrait de Parfum

Banan by Jouri Perfumes is a fruity, woody, and floral unisex perfume extract, created by Ali Abdulla Almarzooqi. A white orchard, where fruit and flower advance side by side.

A house where the founder is also the nose

Jouri Perfumes is an Emirati house, whose first reference dates back to 2017. Its uniqueness lies in a rare fact: Ali Abdulla Almarzooqi is not only the founder, he is the nose behind all the creations. Where most houses commission their formulas from outside perfumers, every Jouri bottle bears the hand of a single person.

An opening of pear, blackcurrant, and violet

The pear opens with a juicy and discreet fruit, the blackcurrant brings its dark and slightly sulfurous acidity, the violet its fresh powder. The pink pepper stings just enough so that this opening is not merely sweet.

A heart of jasmine, plum, and lily of the valley

The jasmine and the lily of the valley establish the white flowers, while the plum and the apple extend the fruit. The two registers hold the same place and the same moment: it is the center of the perfume, and it is double.

A base of sandalwood, cedar, and vanilla

The sandalwood brings its milky creaminess, the cedarwood its pencil-like dryness, the musk longevity, and the vanilla a discreet sweetness that rounds off the woods without sweetening them.

The house's signature

The fruit and the flower advance together in the heart, instead of succeeding one another. The classic construction passes the fruit in the top then gives way to the flowers; here the plum and the apple remain alongside the jasmine and the lily of the valley throughout the heart. The result is a sustained accord, without the disconnect that often makes fruity-florals seem over-composed.

For whom, for what occasions?

Fruity, woody, and floral, this extract is for those who love woody fruity-florals and are looking for a wearable extract for daytime. From spring to autumn, at the office or during the week. It is the least demonstrative of the house.

With Banan Jouri Perfumes, the fruit never gives way to the flower.
