Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bamboo EDP
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Gucci's Bamboo (2015) - the Alberto Morillas Casablanca lily-sandalwood feminine that became Gucci's clean white-floral signature, here translated into a bergamot-orange blossom opening over Casablanca lily and a sandalwood close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime feminine wear at a fraction of the designer price.

Our Verdict - Frangipani Flower Cologne EDP
A divisive take on a tropical classic. Some find it a bright, sunny delight, a holiday in a bottle. Others sniff a synthetic, short-lived disappointment that misses the mark on authentic frangipani. Sample first to see which camp you're in.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bamboo

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

White-floral-sandalwood structure peaks in spring and summer; autumn carries. Winter softer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Formal

Elegant white-floral-woody feminine fits office, casual, date and formal. Less suited to sport.

Frangipani Flower Cologne

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its light, fresh floral and citrus accords make it ideal for casual wear, especially during warmer months. However, the limited projection and longevity mean it's subtle enough for an office setting, though some found it too 'summery'.
