What does Green Tea Bamboo smell like?

It opens with galbanum, bergamot, grapefruit and bamboo, a cool, citrusy greenness. In the heart, violet leaf, lilac, green tea and cucumber make it lightly floral and watery. Musk, orris root and woody notes soften the base.

Most voters pick summer and spring, with leisure, daily wear and the office the most mentioned settings. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays quiet close to the skin. Voters lean feminine, though a fair number call it masculine.
