Bamboo

A very fresh, dewy take on white florals. The opening of leafy greens is pure but soft and doesn't take centre stage for long. It makes way for those layered florals and results in a quite misty feeling: I think of a cool damp hillside or dew-kissed petals. Then with the earthiness of the base notes never settling into anything too heady, it supports the florals in remaining weightless and ethereal as it sits on my skin - existing outside of time, like what a fairy might wear. It’s very floaty and delicate but since the drydown also feels untethered in that way (esp with the vetiver), I was left wanting more from it. That’s probably just my preference for earthy contrast as well as a sensitivity to white florals, since the overall composition made me feel like the middle notes were sometimes too sharp. Ethereal concept, but it’s like the scent is held up by glass and something felt missing to me. Though of course for others, that airiness could be what makes it complete.
