Fleur de Bambu

I love this genre of aquatic, floral, woody, green tea scents, and Fleur de Bambu does it well. It smells high quality, and the performance is REALLY good without being overwhelming. The opening is strangely musky and a little sweet for my liking, but I really enjoy the dry down, which is earthier, woodier, calming, and comforting. It's also softly green and milky in the heart and base notes. I don't know if it actually smells of tea, rice, bamboo, and ivy - but the image is spot on. While Fleur de Bambu has quality ingredients and a nice composition, it's also possibly a tiny bit generic. In terms of similar fragrances, By Kilian's Bamboo Harmony is close in feeling, but is much greener, fruitier, more complex, and has worse performance. Oud Pagode by Chapel Factory is maybe even closer, but more masculine. Worth sniffing if you get the chance!

I was very resistant to try this sample, since I find that Il Profumo has very strange (read: ugly) bottles and I had a bad customer support from their official website. Fleur de Bamboo is so airy, aquatic green, it gives a feeling of wet drops, so pleasant, chilled and perfect for lazy mornings, casual wear. I really like the lotus flower. In general, Fleur de Bamboo reminds of a childhood smell, my mom had a deodorant like this, I could never find anything similar. This scent has a bit of a soapy character. If you like Ivy-for example from Diptyque offerings Lieree - you will probably like this one as well. Safe blind buy if you like greenish/aquatic scents or Hermes Un Jardins Collection.

Unlike any freshie I’ve ever tried . Has a sweetness to it that is akin to a green banana which I ador. The bambo and water lily freshens this up and feels very aquatic and the rice gives it this creaminess which I think is what is making this give off like a banana scent ? And has a green stem touch of the ivy . This can become a signature scent all year round- I live in Florida so I can see myself reaching for this all the time

This is one of the most beautiful fresh compositions I've ever smell. So fresh and delicate bamboo flowers and after time warms up and became little creamy(may be it's the rise milk). It is very longlasting (on my skin). I love it :)

I received a sample from this last summer but never bothered to try it because I didn't really have an idea of what bambou smelled like. I visited the botanical gardens near Accra Ghana years ago and stood in a giant tropical bambou bush which smelled like absolutely nothing! I had been wearing heavy winter scents all month ( Poison Hypnotique, Heure Bleue, ...) so I really wanted to try something really light and fresh, something like Fleur de bambu. My first impression was that this reminded me a lot of the discontinued Truth Lush by Calvin Klein. Both share bambou and woodsy notes, Fleur de bambu is a greener scent while in Truth Lush the bambou and wood were complemented with a soft floral note. It is a nice scent but I do miss a more floral touch.
