I Am Here!
- screams Bamboo rather hysterically into the crowd.
The newcomer among mainstream fragrances. Gucci presents a rather heavy bottle with unfortunately mediocre content. I didn't have much expectation for it, and accordingly, I wasn't particularly disappointed when I tested it. A rather floral scent that initially packs a punch but quickly proves to be extremely short-lived. Typical Gucci. It has been a long time since anything has hit the market that showcases uniqueness or even quality.
The scent starts off quite floral, with a dense cloud of something cardboard-like. Chemistry kit ahoy! Furthermore, it has a slightly piercing, hissing note that quickly spreads thickly on the skin. Bergamot? Where? It starts off very dominant. The flowers are quite entrenched in the fragrance pyramid. Ylang Ylang is particularly stubborn here and puts all other components into a coma. Subtly, there is a bit of orange blossom, but it completely withers under the power of the Ylang Ylang.
After this opening, the scent then becomes distinctly sweet, fruitily tinged. Again, this strange cardboard thing. What could that possibly be? The vanilla comes in lightly, but unfortunately in such a disastrous state that it almost makes me shudder. Bamboo doesn't make great leaps; it becomes slightly woody in the dry down, but this unpleasant cardboard quality remains until the end. Ylang Ylang is strongly present throughout the entire fragrance journey, but for my taste, it's far too much of a good thing. Everything is overshadowed by this ingredient.
Bamboo hysterically screams that it is here and that it is oh-so-elegant and feminine. It hisses petulantly at the beginning, letting out all its strength and intensity. Strong, yes. At first. Intense too. Intensely chemical. Nothing feels natural, just overloaded with Ylang Ylang. After not even a short time, the scent then dissipates into nothing. It only smells floral, with slightly different, tipsy ingredients that somehow want everything but can do nothing.
The bottle is heavy, fits well in the hand. It is of good quality, in contrast to the content. The longevity is actually a joke at this price and presentation. Sillage is not even worth mentioning.
Gucci sends a real stallion into the race when you think of the advertising, and what happens then? The stallion quickly runs out of steam.
Seduction? Desire? Feminine, perfected elegance? Not a chance.
There is a real deception here. Bamboo seems really intense, noble, and extremely strong in its presentation at first sniff. But all of this is misleading. Many, especially people outside our circles, buy perfumes if they like the sprayer right away.
Gucci is slowly going down the drain. With this fragrance, they haven't done themselves any favors. It is nothing new, not horrendously bad either, but any low-cost discount fragrance can claim that. And for 5-10 times less euros.

I’m going to take it off my wishlist now; it’s definitely not for me!
