Gucci recently introduced the Bamboo clothing and accessories line and, to consolidate its success, has released a new fragrance called Gucci Bamboo. This perfume is still very young, produced in 2015, but it has already managed to excel and get its enthusiastic marks.
What is included in Gucci Bamboo? Perfume, reviews of which were left by admirers and those who didn’t happen to him, has a rather interesting composition.
Where's the bamboo?
Perhaps someone believes that the name voices the main component of perfume. But no. Here, the element of the bamboo stem is captured in the design of the bottle, namely in the form of a lid, but the design is so thin that at first glance you can not notice this moment. These perfumes will become a decoration of the dressing table, and you want to turn the bottle in your hands and touch all its sharp edges. The fact is that the Gucci Bamboo perfume is intended for backing vocals of the collection of the same name, which uses an imitation of the stem of this reed plant.
But the content of the bottle also does not contradict the main mood and associations. Yes, it would be naive to think that perfumers will simply make the smell of bamboo key in the composition, and that’s all. That would be predictable. On the other hand, “Gucci Bamboo” should not go completely counter to the name, as that would not make sense. So, what does the pyramid consist of?
"Gucci Bamboo": a description of the composition
Perfumes belong to the group of floral aromas. The pyramid is quite unusual, in particular in that the top note is only one: it is bergamot. In the heart, everything is more complicated: here the royal lily along with orange blossom and ilag-ylang. The base is fixed with noble ambergris, vanilla and sandalwood.
Aroma sound
If you just read the composition of spirits, you would think that they would be typical fresh, because bergamot in the first notes, probably, should have overshadowed the next ones, but this does not happen. Of course, each girl has her own skin chemistry, but among the main audible notes, lily is the leader. Then vanilla breaks in, and in some places ylang-ylang. Lily and vanilla - a combination, at first glance, strange, but the taste and color, as they say ... Especially since the lily is not suffocating, although there are a lot of it. On the other hand, the smell is dense, intense, but this is not surprising: with such and such components ...
The overall impression of this fragrance is: coolness and nobleness. This is all due to the white colors in the heart of the fragrance.
Gucci Bamboo perfume is well associated with expensively dressed stylish young women. This image represents Gal Gadot in a promotional video.
Light coolness and barely noticeable peppercorn are felt, but the main background for all this is floral tenderness. In short, lovers of lilies will be delighted, they can safely buy perfume even without a preliminary test.
This is a high-quality, non-musky perfume, everything is tailored here all right and expensive.
Durability
This quality is worthy of a separate applause. The durability of the perfume is simply dizzying. And from prolonged contact with the body, the smell reveals even more. The train is thin, unobtrusive, barely perceptible. In the fresh air it sounds very attractive, indoors also captivates with femininity. For those who were captivated by the smell, but did not like the concentration (seemed too strong), the best solution would be Gucci Bamboo toilet water.
And to please those who like to buy all the cosmetics of their favorite perfume line at once, they released both shower gel and body lotion with Gucci Bamboo aroma. Then the smell will accompany all day and all night.
Similarities to other fragrances
When something new comes out in the world of perfumery, there will always be someone who will say: "And this was probably already somewhere!" Gucci Bamboo was no exception. Perfume, reviews about which are so ambiguous, seems to some to be an echo of something that has already sounded a few years ago.
Perhaps this is a moot point, but to some, Gucci Bamboo resembles the Hugo Boss Femme in direction, sound and character, and to someone it is discontinued by Idol from Armani. Someone else heard the similarity to The One from Dolce & Gabbana, only the latter has no fruit theme, but there is one in Gucci Bamboo. Others (and there are many of them) unanimously speak about olfactory analogies with Body Burberry for women. Therefore, if the aforementioned perfumes already exist on the dressing table, then there’s no point in buying Gucci Bamboo, since they are really very similar.
Gucci Bamboo: Price
This is a luxury perfumery, so it cannot be cheap in principle. Of course, if you get to some kind of action, you can save.
So how much is this new Gucci Bamboo? The price of a 30-ml bottle of perfume is 2500 rubles, for 50 ml you need to give 3500 rubles, and 75 ml of “bamboo happiness” will cost 4500 rubles. Yes, you can’t call the prices affordable, but what money can’t you pay for the pleasure of exuding the noble aroma of vanilla lilies?
Reviews of those who did not like
Some do not understand why so many praises have been sung in honor of Gucci Bamboo. Perfume, reviews of which are sometimes so enthusiastic, some customers call it simply mediocre, just one of the many fragrances in the casual style. Although, in truth, no one makes any reasonable shortcomings, everyone mainly focuses on the excessive simplicity, characterlessness, typicality and facelessness of spirits. Like, with such an aroma you’ll get lost in the crowd. They even criticize me that the Gucci house, when releasing this perfume, made a bet not on the content, but on the form and the promoted brand.
But this is quite subjective, because not everyone wants to smell like Diorovsky Poison or Lankomovsky Miracle. Someone, on the contrary, wants to exude the smell of expensive, but at the same time, not screaming spirits. Therefore, "Gucci Bamboo" fell on many fit.
It is also worth noting that this aroma is strongly recommended to be tested on the wrist, since blotter cannot convey the essence of the smell, and sometimes it gives out some stale note.
Yes, this fragrance may not claim a new word in perfumery, but those who appreciated this creation from the Gucci house, on the contrary, put pluses for the relative clarity and uniqueness of this smell.
The conclusion can be drawn as follows: "Gucci Bamboo" - a perfume, reviews of which are sometimes not entirely flattering, yet I managed to find my audience.
