Anji Bamboo Mist

Anji Bamboo overflows live and intensity. A green splendor that transport you to a Bamboo forest after the rain. Real, pure and free.

Anji Bamboo Mist was created in 2016 and depicts the emotions and sensations of walking along the Anji Bamboo forest trails, located in Zhejiang Province, in China, four hours away from Shanghai. The forest is known for its fresh air and for being the setting for the movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". To convey the scent of the bamboo leaves scattered on the floor during the morning mist, the perfumer worked with green, floral, and slightly fruity accords. When it’s about flowers, she used the Chinese Aglaia (also known as Chinese perfume tree), Australian Boronia, tuberose, and coffee flower. For the woody part, she used Palo Santo, Mopane of the African Savannah (also known as Butterfly Tree) and wild mushrooms. Also, she combined roots, herbs, and spices, as well as indigenous oils, such as Bacaba (Amazonian palm with fruits of avocado aroma) and Ximenia (also known as African Sour Plum). Anji Bamboo Mist is sold as unisex but has a rather masculine fougère approach, which may not be appealing to many women. Its scent is rich, pungent, green and woody. The idea of fresh air we have in our culture falls to the ground when we feel this fragrance. Here, freshness burns through our nostrils as if we were inside a moist forest. It must be left aside the idea that freshness is connected with citrus notes to understand the beauty of Anji Bamboo Mist. The green and oily liquid imparts what happens on the skin. Boronia is exuberant, with its fruity-spiced content, which mixes with the consistency of Ximenia (which resembles honey). In fact, shaking the bottle a little before spraying is a valuable tip, because the fragrances of the house are produced with 100% natural oils and extracts and it is possible to notice dense particles that can damage the valve. On the other hand, because it does not have synthetic molecules in its composition, it exudes a lot but does not last in an exaggerated way. Its evolution is directly linked to the chemistry of the skin and, on mine, lasted about five hours. Particularly, I never went through a bamboo forest, but the experience of getting out of the routine from the city made of stones and closing my eyes for a few minutes transported me to what I imagine to be such a place. Anji Bamboo Mist is the perfect perfume for those who enjoy the smell of closed forest, with many types of woods, earth, plants, and mosses.

Super floral, green/leafy and a bit spicy. I tend not to go for florals so I can't be much more specific than that. Like everything else from NadiaZ, this has an earthiness at the base that is always detectable, but more noticeable the closer you get.

Very naturalistic aroma, where all sorts of natural tones are collected - greens, earth, air, water, fire, ether - all the elements are combined into a single whole. The aroma is very voluminous, it is difficult to isolate individual notes, it is something from a series of perfumery icosahedron and tetrahedra ... Of course, Nadia Z's perfumery is not “easy reading”, all its fragrances call for thinking and, above all, for the ability to listen to yourself, your feelings, and develop olfactory skills. I can not imagine this flavor somewhere in the subway or at a party, it is most likely not possible. The start is bright, rather more than tropical greenery, unknown plant fragrances mixed with the odor of a fat, unfamiliar soil, slightly moist and teeming with the life of another world ... I have a feeling that all notes sound simultaneously and immediately, due to this, a volume of aroma is created. Personally, I do not really like the flavor, because The fat, oily hint causes mild nausea, but the realism of the landscape is absolute, i.e. inflicting fragrance, the consciousness transfers immediately to a completely different reality - some unfamiliar forests and sounds ... I clearly understand that this fragrance is a therapeutic action, because the concentration of 100% natural components prepared for the perception of the hypothalamus, rolls over. In the bottle are visible droplets of more dense oils. My fragrance causes a feeling of anxiety, most likely because of its outlandishness and singularity, since I find myself in a completely unknown world, where I don’t understand where to expect surprises ... Reading the pyramid, I do not see clear associations with one or another component, perhaps breathing in the scent and reading the pyramid at the same time, only some indoloity of the white flowers mentioned in the pyramid comes to mind ... Nadia's fragrances are like a canvas, in a single copy next to a large circulation posters, I understand that not all the naturalistic sounds of the components are known to me at all, and therefore I perceive the composition completely in my interpretation. Everyone will hear something of their own in it, this is the unique Nadia Z perfumery. As it unfolds, the fat, unpleasant note to me subsides, and the fragrance becomes more floral, seasoned with spices; I could already wear such a scent. But the feeling of exotic, something completely strange does not leave me ... .. The alarm also goes away and the feeling of pleasure from every breath spreads through my body ... This is something unique! I understand that this flavor is not for every day, but for some special cases; perhaps it will help someone to open creative channels, if you meditate with him for some time, because the aroma reveals some new layers of the subconscious ... Unforgettable, completely new olfactory experience! Thanks Nadia!
