What does Tropical Bamboo smell like?

It opens with bamboo and bergamot, and lily of the valley and gardenia add a soft floral heart. Patchouli, cedarwood and musk set it on a woody, powdery base. The overall impression is aquatic, green and mostly light.

Longevity and sillage are weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is chosen mainly for leisure, daily wear, work and sport. Slightly more voters find it feminine than masculine, though plenty see it as masculine too. Clean Rain and Akro Breathe have a close profile.
