Perfume line Weil was founded by three brothers, who have energetic and cheerful temperament and find their inspiration for perfumes in fur. Luxurious fur, Roaring Twenties, is signed by creators Alfred, Jacques and Marcel Weil.

Perfumer Claude Frayesse in cooperation with Marcel Weil made the first perfumes packed in Baccarat flacons back in 1927. Their names associate us of expensive fur: Zibeline, Chinchilla, Royal and Hermine.

Marcel Weil's death in 1933 did not stop expanding their fragrant collection and adding several other perfumes: Bambou, Cassandra and Noir.

The Weil family started living as emigrants in the USA from 1940. They started presenting their new fragrant oils: Secret de Venus, and when they returned to Paris in 1946 they introduced two other editions: Antilope and Padisha.

Together with Jean Pierre Weil the brand Weil modernized in 1960 and published Eau de Fracheur, which was placed as a unisex fragrance because of its freshness. Editions Gentilhomme from 1966, Weil de Weil from 1970, Chunga from 1977 and Weil for men from 1980 were added. The year of 1984 was very significant for Weil, since a great success was achieved with Bambou, which was attractive for its aquatic-fruity accords. Perfume Kipling was introduced in 1986, Bambou and Eau de Fracheur received new packages in 1991.

The brand Weil has been in ownership of Interparfums (Aroli Aromes Ligeriens) since 2002. Perfumes Weil pour Homme from 2004, SweetBambou from 2005 and So Weil from 2007 have been introduced since.

Bambou was introduced 1984 with redesigned outer carton in 1991. It opens with Sicilian mandarin, while a heart encompasses jasmine, rose tea, ylang ylang and tuberose. Base notes introduce Mysore sandalwood, oak moss and Bourbon vetiver.

The perfume is available as 30, 50 and 100ml edp, with 400 ml body milk, 400 ml bath and 50 ml deo spray.

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.

like the viewer below, this was a blind purchase based purely on the notes and description. i needed something green and refreshing, and not only this didn't disappoint me, but i was rather pleasantly surprised. it IS green, and feels out-of-the-shower fresh, with something 'classic' in it that i just can't put my finger on. what's great is that it doesn't have that annoying sweet edge like so many would-be-fresh scents these days. with an EDC, i get about an hour, so this is a good choice to spray throughout the day. it's actually so nice i'll be considering getting and EDP as well.

I am convinced that the thrill of the unknown drives my fragrance obsession.

This was a blind purchase made a couple of months ago based entirely upon the notes and olfactive green status. Most times my fragrance gambles (actually experience allows me to deem my perfume buying behaviour extremely high risk) payoff and the new recruit becomes a worthy member of my collection.

Bambou scrapes in as a welcome member, I'm not sure of the exact occasion befitting my little green friend as I have fragrances more appropriate for heatwave conditions (like today), e.g. Apivita Energy, Clarins Eau Dynamisante, Decleor Arome Tonic, and good Green Tea scents.

Maybe worth another try in Autumn when there is a slight chill in the air?

Oh to feel a gentle cool breeze caress my pleasantly scented clammy damp skin. . . that's what dreams are made of.

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.
