Modern Man

Modern Man from Banana Republic presents a clean, aquatic, and slightly woody scent centered around juniper, grapefruit, and vetiver. It unfolds with a bright citrus and aromatic opening that softens into a soapy, musky drydown with subtle balsamic and patchouli depth. The fragrance evokes a post-shower freshness—quietly elegant, refined, and inoffensive. It’s best suited for spring and summer, offering modest projection and longevity, with performance falling most notably short in lasting power or sillage. It wears linearly and pleasantly, feeling like a modern, minimalist cologne that leans heavily into its clean, fresh aesthetic. Many users appreciate it as a reliable, affordable, day-to-day scent—ideal for office wear, gym bags, or casual settings where subtlety is preferred.
