Bambou

I really like this, although I think the name is a bit misleading. The bamboo is definitely there, but is not prominent. It's a lovely citrus fragrance with a zesty opening and a light woody/musky finish. I don't get much sillage, but the longevity is really good for this type of fragrance.

This was my first blind-buy, based off these lovely reviews on fragrantica, and I have to say, I'm so pleased with my new fragrance! It's nothing like any other fragrance I have in my wardrobe. It is clean, fresh, and just gives me a feeling of wholesomeness every time I spray it on. It is definitely a good buy. The initial spritz is surprisingly sharp (almost like an aftershave), but it isn't enough to make me call this one masculine. After about 10 minutes, the cologne smell tempers down into a calmer, leafier smell. It really does feel like you're in a Chinese bamboo forest as the rain falls, and the smell of wet foliage begins to rise. It's really great for when you need freshening up, or when you're feeling meditative. Wonderful fragrace, and I'm so glad I bought it. It's marked as being a woman's fragrance, but this one feels like it could easily be unisex, IMO. Thanks fellow reviewers for introducing me to this one!

Woody? No, I don't smell it. Strongest would be green, next citrus. I picked this up in an organic store, not sure why but that where I first got introduced to Roger and gallet scents before they were even in the more common retail stores. I had been looking for a Gap grass type of scent while this is not even close, it satisfies a bit of the green scent I had been looking for. It's quite strong though but also disappears a bit quickly.

Fresh, green, citrusy and just a hint of sweetness. Definitely unisex and perfect for summer. It is light and stays close to the skin, but doesn't immediately disappear either... There is a sour/sweet zing that I can't quite identify that adds a bit of depth and keeps it from being overly smooth or boring. It was a blind buy, and overall I'm pleased, but not in love. 3.5 of 5 stars.

Imagine you, dressed in white, in the rain, surrounded by bamboo leafs... for a moment you are in a chinese forest, breathing the air of that exotic nature. This is the feeling I get from this fragrance. In my opinion this is an unisex fragrance. Gentle, clean, fresh and bright scent, yet exotic and daring!
