Banana Essence Oil

Sweet, Tropical & the Fruit of the Sages

Banana is one of the oldest cultivated fruits in the world — and one of the most storied. The Koran identifies it as the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden. The Greek philosopher Theophrastus (372–287 BCE) retells a legend of wise men who sat beneath the shade of the banana tree and ate of its fruit, earning it the botanical name that translates as "banana of the sages." And here's the surprise: the banana is not actually a tree at all, but a gigantic herb — the world's largest member of the grass family. Its essence oil carries that same warm, generous, tropical energy: very sweet, deeply fulfilling, and cheerfully soothing. Uncut, alcohol-free, and vividly long-lasting.

History & Legend

Bananas rank second only to apples in global popularity and are considered one of the oldest cultivated fruits in the world. The Koran identifies the banana as the forbidden fruit of Eden.

And despite appearances, the banana is not a tree — it is the world's largest herb, a member of the grass family.
