What does Secret Bamboo smell like?

Most voters place it in spring and summer, and it wears easily for daily use, leisure and the office. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters read it as more feminine than masculine, though it stays unisex in feel.

Fresh, citrus and aquatic accords lead, with green and fruity sides alongside. Plants and green apple give a bright, leafy start, heliotrope adds a floral, slightly creamy softness, and the marine notes leave it clean and airy. Jacques Fath Curaçao Bay and Lancaster Summer Splash have a close profile.
