Bamboo? Lilies!

~ Inspiration ~
I became aware of "Bamboo" here and it landed on my watchlist until I received a sample to test during a swap.

~ Bottle ~
The thick glass bottle contains a delicate pink liquid. In keeping with the name, the cap looks like a bamboo stalk.

~ Fragrance ~
Bergamot provides a citrus-fresh opening, while Casablanca lilies give it a green-floral character. I perceive ylang-ylang only in the background with a handful of orange blossoms. In the base, it finishes lightly creamy with sandalwood and vanilla.

~ Longevity ~
On my skin, it lasts about 5-6 hours. A few sprays are enough, as it becomes too piercingly synthetic for me otherwise.

~ Occasion ~
It fits into the mild days of spring, summer, and autumn (also suitable as an office fragrance).

~ Conclusion ~
It is too unsweet/synthetic for me, and the piercing green lily bothers me. More for fans of Asian-aquatic scents.

As an office scent, unfortunately way too expensive for me... What a pity, so it won't be a candidate for my list/test - but a trophy for you for the excellent description once again!

It lasts twice as long for you as it does for me. What a shame! I was disappointed during testing as well. It’s better on the strip.

A warm round of applause for this fragrance test! I found it pretty okay, but it's true that it has a somewhat synthetic vibe.
