Banana Republic will release its new fragrance collection, "Modern," on January 23rd. This fragrance line, inspired by the idea of "living in the modern age with a sense of ease," features one fragrance for women and one for men. The women's "Modern for Women Eau de Parfum" (30ml/¥5,000, 50ml/¥7,500) was created by Jerome Epinette, a 2013 FIFI Award winner. Featuring "Sun God Rose Petals," a concentrated floral fragrance, it expresses femininity. The fresh top notes of Italian bergamot, nymphea, and water lily, combined with the soft, supple base notes of amber, further enhance the feminine charm.

Meanwhile, the men's "Modern For Man Eau de Toilette" (30ml/5,000 yen, 50ml/7,000 yen) has a spicy and aromatic finish. The perfumers are Irina Burlakova and Vincent Kuczynski. The scent begins with a sparkling watery accord, leading to the fresh, tangy Japanese radish that is a characteristic of this fragrance. It ends with the mysterious scent of incense and musk, expressing the multifaceted appeal of men.

While the bottle design for For Man is square, the For Woman has a rounded shape that symbolizes femininity. The packaging is also in the classic two-tone white and black, alluding to the fact that the two fragrances are counterparts.
