My accidental love
Gucci Bamboo is called my ‘accidental love’ in my collection. It was a leaving present gift from a colleague 8 years ago. She made me open and spray it in front of her and was hit with a very sharp and detergent like opening that my nose disliked and I had to hide it with a smile and a ‘mmm lovely!’. It sat unloved in a drawer for 4 years and then my colleague joined my new team and the guilt kicked in. I thought I’ll wear it on her first day and maybe use it up at work until it’s done so I don’t have guilt. And surprised myself that when the bottle was done I just had to get myself another bottle. Most of my perfumes are unlike the others. So this one is a keeper for me, it’s lovely on my skin. There’s the obvious fresh, citrus opening from the bergamot, mandarin and orange blossom with a slight juicy floral round sweetness of pear, lily and jasmine. A powdery, very slightly spicy, musky dry down with the sandalwood and a very slightly spicy tease of ambergris with a layer of comfort from the vanilla in the base. I love this on my skin, I get delight from an almost sweet, milky, creaminess that must come from the ylang ylang that gives this lovely, subtle hint of honey every now and then when I move. I see this perfume described as a simple, uninteresting scent, and I know I’ve obviously developed a strong emotional memory to it, but to me it’s a classy, fresh with hidden complex gems that I just love and will always enjoy wearing this.
