Green and Fleeting
If I hadn't recently smelled crushed bamboo leaves, I would have wanted to give "KenzoKi Bamboo Leaf" only 10% because you can't give 0, then it is considered unrated.
I smelled the crushed leaves of the evergreen bamboo because I wanted to know if bamboo green smells like bamboo wood. A very expensive perfume brand smelled like bamboo wood in all the samples I had available for testing, a scent I can't stand.
The bamboo leaves, on the other hand, smelled of almost nothing, just slightly green, much less than grass.
But that doesn't mean much; bamboo belongs to the grasses, and there are countless varieties. Our native reed is also a type of bamboo (not the bulrush).
The perfume "Bamboo Leaf" therefore smells of almost nothing, a little green, a little citrusy, somewhat resinous, not a trace of sweetness, yet it breathes out a hint of flowers. Tulips have such a scent when they smell at all. And also a little of the bamboo shoots that you buy in a can; bamboo shoots harvested as the roots of a bamboo species. These smell and taste slightly bitter and a bit like almonds, but only hinted at. This bamboo shoot note develops increasingly and makes "Bamboo Leaf" surprisingly long-lasting. The sillage, however, remains extremely subtle.
I was about to give it only 20%.
But wait, that's not fair, I decided. "Bamboo Leaf" has been on the market for 7 years, so there are people who particularly love such a delicate and unobtrusive scent. They want exactly that.
And for that, it is a very fine and skillfully composed fragrance with a very delicate almond note. It's just a pity that Ambroxan keeps pushing its way in, which makes "Bamboo Leaf" synthetic at intervals.
A scent for spring, for hot summer days. But only for those who want to be lightly scented. I would classify it as unisex.
