Banana Republic Black Walnut
Woody, aromatic, boozy, tobacco, dry.
Key Fragrance Notes:
- Top: Cognac
- Heart: Tobacco
- Base: Virginia Cedar
Black Walnut keeps its structure focused, opening with a warm cognac accord before tobacco becomes the center of the fragrance. Virginia cedar gives the base a dry woody finish that prevents the boozy opening from becoming overly sweet. The profile is simple and direct, moving from warm liquor-like richness into tobacco and clean cedar.

Summary
Summary
Banana Republic Black Walnut is a compact woody-aromatic Eau de Toilette built around cognac, tobacco, and Virginia cedar. Cognac gives the opening a warm boozy effect that feels slightly sweet without turning gourmand. Tobacco quickly becomes the fragrance’s central character, adding dryness and a darker aromatic tone. Virginia cedar forms the base and strips away much of the sweetness, leaving a cleaner woody finish. Created by Harry Fremont in 2006, the composition is direct rather than elaborate, moving through three recognizable stages without a crowded note list. It should suit shoppers who enjoy tobacco fragrances but want something lighter and easier to wear than a dense amber-tobacco scent. The overall effect is warm, dry, and understated, with a mature casual character.
