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 - La Cordée EDP
This is a clean, classy freshie that divides opinion on its performance but not its smell. Some find it simple, others appreciate its nuanced blend of tea and cypress. Don't go in expecting a beast, but do expect a sophisticated, uplifting aroma.

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.

La Cordée

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile makes it perfect for the office and casual wear. While some reviewers noted moderate sillage, making it suitable for closer encounters, its lack of strong projection makes it less ideal for formal events. The fresh, green character also lends itself well to sport or active use.
