Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Given its fresh, clean, and intimate profile, Bambou is excellent for casual wear, the office, and even sport. Its limited sillage makes it less suitable for formal events where a more assertive presence might be desired, and its freshness is more casual than romantic.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Bambou opens with a vibrant burst of ginger and cardamom, uplifted by zesty bergamot, giving it an immediately fresh and slightly spicy character. The heart reveals the star-player bamboo, lending a uniquely green and almost milky quality, softened by aromatic basil. It settles into a comforting base of smooth sandalwood, clean musk, and dry cedar, leaving a subtle, woody-powdery trail that evokes freshness and clean linen.
