Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bamboo Harmony EDP

Bamboo Harmony is a divisive one. Many find this green tea and citrus blend to be a 'zen' spa experience, while a good few others dismiss it as an overpriced, generic freshie with woeful performance. Your mileage (and wallet) may vary.

Our Verdict - Mandarin & Mint EDP

Don't let the name Mandarin & Mint fool you; this one's a divisive brew. Reviewers reckon it's a citrus cleaning product in a bottle and doesn't last, calling it a huge disappointment. Approach with caution, as it might be a big swerve.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bamboo Harmony

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Formal

Its clean, fresh, and often-described 'inoffensive' nature, coupled with many noting its light projection, makes it an excellent choice for office wear or casual daytime use. While some suggest it for active moments, its relaxed and elegant DNA also lends itself to more refined, albeit not overtly formal, settings like certain date scenarios.

Mandarin & Mint

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

Built on aromatic, green and fresh spicy - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Sport

Also Works:

Casual

Given the 'lemon cleaning fluid' comparison and poor reported longevity, it's best suited for casual wear or perhaps the office if you prefer something light and unobtrusive. Its fresh, clean profile makes it suitable for sport, but its lack of projection means it won't stand out on a date or at a formal event.
