Gucci Bamboo by Gucci

A very delicate fragrance. The opening has a metallic note that causes a subtle rejection; it takes a few seconds for the alcohol to settle and the green scent to emerge. Then citrusy floral powders rise over a bitter, green base, which is the longest-lasting part and improves the projection. Later, it becomes aquatic and ambered before fading. The bottle is gorgeous—it’s not a realistic bamboo but rather like viewing a landscape of bamboos and flowers from a Japanese wooden house through wet glass. It’s beautiful to look at. I think it’s for personal enjoyment, though it feels distant in conversation. The longevity is excellent, like a true EDP; it seems like it won’t last but it stays on for hours. I apply generously, about six sprays on the neck. It’s almost like a meditation perfume; it makes me think of the echo of a drop in a pond; it’s both aquatic and earthy. Curiously, that opening reminds me of my grandmother, bringing the scent of her home or her skin, hard to explain. I’m not sure if I’ve finished it, but it brings me so much love that I can’t part with the bottle.

Fantastic fragrance, very feminine and delicate; the Casablanca lily is the star, embraced by spicy notes and a subtle, elegant touch of vanilla. It had excellent chemistry with my skin, lasting over 7 hours with just four sprays. I see it as spring-appropriate but not for intense summer heat. It exudes class, a romantic floral vibe; for a first date, I consider it a great option, unless your pH ruins it, but in my opinion, it’s an excellent perfume. It’s not a mass-market scent; quite the opposite, it’s elegant, youthful, and exquisite, just like Gucci characterizes. However, always test on skin because everyone is different.

This perfume has weird behavior on my skin: it projects a citrusy, green, and aquatic scent that would work perfectly as a summer all-rounder. However, the base that remains is a greasy, woody lily smell that gets heavy, like an anti-aging facial cream. As for the other notes it claims to have, I don’t feel any of them. The projection and longevity are good for summer (lasts about 6 hours), but despite being pleasant, it doesn’t excite me. Pleasant: 6/10 Interesting: 5/10 Versatile: 7/10 Original: 5/10

I’m using it and can’t stop thinking it resembles L’Air de Nina Ricci in the middle notes. When I apply it, I feel a blast of freshness and energy that fills me with joy. I also notice a powdery touch in the background that lingers until the end. In the heart phase, the ylang-ylang and orange blossom really stand out. I love the dry down, where the amber and sandalwood add warmth and elegance.

At this point, I’m just curious to try it; honestly, you can’t take existing reviews too seriously because out of the three similar fragrances mentioned—Nina’s L’Air du Temps, Gucci Flora, and Simpson’s I Fancy You—the compositions have nothing to do with each other, so those comparisons aren’t a solid basis for blind buying.

I don’t like it; nothing fresh, it overwhelms me. I prefer the Eau de Toilette, although that doesn’t last or fix well either. Definitely the bergamot and ylang-ylang blend isn’t for me; the bitter orange blossom ruins the overall effect on my skin. The base notes are more bearable than the top and heart notes.

Citrusy but not so strong that it leaves a clean, elegant trail in the end. I think I should try it again because it left me with mixed feelings: the opening feels generic, but the drydown after several hours (which I loved) reminded me of a perfume I smelled years ago and can’t remember which one it was.

More than green from the bamboo, it smells sweet and woody to me: elegant yet casual. It smells just like Jessica Simpson I Fancy You; I own both and the scent difference is minimal compared to the price, so if you like Gucci Bamboo and want to save money, this is your option.

More than just bamboo green, this scent is sweet and woody—elegant yet casual. It smells identical to Jessica Simpson’s I Fancy You; I own both, and the difference is minimal compared to the price. If you love Gucci Bamboo but want to save, this is the option for you.

A perfect perfume… I don’t know how to describe it any other way, ideal for any occasion, day or night. It has great sillage and projection on my skin; I have no regrets at all about buying it.

Fresh and clean, not too citrusy. Ideal for everyday wear at work, though it’s over budget. Longevity and sillage are scarce.

Soft, rich, and spring-like. It’s not one of my favorites, but when people ask what perfume I’m wearing, it’s this one.
