Bambou Weil for women

Received this one today and have been testing it all day, well...part of the day because it didn't last all that long, maybe 3 hours? It's a very pleasant, only slightly green, summer fragrance which I am happy to wear, there is nothing offensive about it. I would have liked it to be a bit greener. The dominant note for me is the mandarin, but later it cools down with the vetiver and oakmoss making their appearance. I don't get any white florals. If you want a good value everyday summer spritz, this is eminently suitable.

I love this fresh clean scent.It is like so many white florals only more realistic.ITS very refreshing in our hot southern climate.I think part of its charm is that its not so sweet.

I picked up a bottle of Weil BAMBOU edc a few months ago for nearly nothing, but after noting that the nozzle was very similar to that of certain unmentionable scrubbers which I had acquired at the same time, I decided to stow BAMBOU on a shelf to wait for a day when I could bear a possibly traumatic encounter with yet another catastrophic--if not carcinogenic--reformulation.

Thanks to fellow Fragrantican and fragrance warrior kimkim, I was reminded of this neglected member of my collection, and I am delighted to report that, in fact, BAMBOU is not only wearable, but really quite nice! To my nose, this is a very light green indeed and I would have to say that it's even closer to a vetiver frag than to intense ueber greens such as MA GRIFFE, VENT VERT, or FUTUR.

I do believe that this evokes the essence of bamboo, and to my great surprise, BAMBOU even reminds me vaguely of Guerlain TOKYO. This is a very watery and transparent fragrance at the eau de cologne concentration, and it would be interesting to try the edp to see how they compare. The longevity of the edc is poor, and the sillage low. The florals are so low-key that this could almost be a skin scent.

Against all expectations, I like BAMBOU a lot and heartily recommend the edc as a quality summertime all-over body spray. Refreshing, clean and only barely green.

I got the big bottle yesterday, and the bottle looks indeed very 'economical'!!
But the contents is very special, I think it STILL has the feel of the classic Bambou, very beautiful. But the bottle gives a total different impression! Not to be judged on the bottle this one, only on the content!
Good luck! Action

I don't like it at all. Dosn't smell like bamboo at all. Reminds me of my mother's favourite old, cheap Russian cologne ;-)or chamomile shampoo.

This is absolutely wonderful! Initially the "green" notes are quite prominant along with the heady sandalwood and vetiver. But in the dry-down the ylang-ylang and jasmine are the top players and bring a very enjoyable elegance which I find unusual for a scent which is catagorized as "floral green".

This is so much what I imagined or hoped for when I first tried Yves Rocher's Desir de Nature when instead with it I got "funky note".

This could easily be a day-time scent but elegant enough for night-time. Very, very nice.

Very much like Yves Rocher's Eau de Bamboo thou a bit more spicy, maybe due to strong vetiver note. Good re freshener for a hot day.

The name Bambou suggests something watery and transparent, which this scent is not. It is heavy on white florals (especially a huge green tropical lily note) , sandalwood and vetiver.
Akin to Cacharel's Anais Anais, but is more spicy and woody.
