Acier Aluminium (Creed) is widely believed to have a banana note in it. Well, you can persuade yourself of anything if you try hard enough.

Yes, Acier Aluminium is the fragrance that everyone associates with banana. There is a note right at the top that smells a bit like a very ripe banana. I don't think I would have identified it as banana if I hadn't read about the fragrance before trying it, but I think it's fair to say there's at least something sorta kinda like banana there.

Felanilla by Parfumerie Generale also has a big banana-plantain note. In general, ylang ylang, which shows up in many perfumes, has an underripe banana note.

I get a big plate of bananas foster out of Havana Vanille by L'Artisan. Oddly, no banana at all out of Felanilla, which I'm wearing now.

Both Quasar and Quasar Adventure by J del Pozo make me sense a banana note in them.

Try the discontinued but still readily available Ocean Rain by Mario Valentino if you can find it.

I agree with Acier Aluminium and it's always a scent I could imagine that character "Dirk Diggler" would wear from that film Boogie Nights.

I haven't sniffed it..but heard there is a bunch of bananas in Sicily by D&G.

White flowers (tuberose, gardenia etc) share some chemical component with banana- so, it's easy to detect bananas in fragrances based on these scents. In Vamp Ã* NY by Honoré des Prés there's a clear unripe banana note in the opening.

The other recs above are great, and actually smell quite a bit like banana, but for the sake of the thread, I figured it's worth mentioning that Narciso Rodriguez for Him has a green banana peel note.
