Bamboo America

I recently received a bottle of Bamboo America by accident from an overseas supplier. I have to admit I am glad I decided to keep it. This fragrance is not outstanding but still very pleasant with a fresh, clean smell. It opens with a goodly hit of bergamont, a touch of cedar and just a little violet. A few hours later I mostly smell Iris and violet with a hint of green apple. (sort of like Granny Smith and not the yucky sweet kind of smell) I think the Sandlewood might be in there smoothing things out but it is not prominant. For the price, if you happen upon a bottle I would say go for it. A few sprays in the morning takes me through till the end of the day and is not overpowering in the office. This is just nice.

Perfumes, to me, are storage rooms of scented memories. This fragrance truly reminds me of beautiful things—it reminds me of my late uncle; I used to catch these lovely scents on him. The perfume is beautiful, calm, refreshing, and its bottle is charming.

rarely do i say anything negative about a fragrance an olivier composite. but this one was not a good fragrance to me. i like the original bamboo so much more and even the females version of the original.. lets get to it.. it has a strong sharp notion to it similar to azzaro's chrome and just does not have a easy tone to it... it starts of strong it stays on strong and it just is way to sharp!! i would say it is better than chrome but i'm not one to enjoy those type of sharp notes.. i will say it does last 8-10 hrs even after i got home and washed it off it was still there.. as with any juice i test with one good spritz. sorry to say this but i was let down and to me this one was a loss.. :( if you can find the original go for that one..
