Gucci · Gucci Bamboo

Gucci Bamboo is an eau de parfum for women, a floral-woody fragrance inspired by the Gucci house's Bamboo bag. The brand describes it as timeless, with a fresh and elegant character, like a light breeze. The bottle contains 50 ml and has a silver bamboo-shaped cap.

What it smells like

The fragrance unfolds in three stages:

• Top notes: Italian orange blossom and bergamot.
• Heart notes: ylang-ylang accord, lily notes, and jasmine accord.
• Base notes: sandalwood accord and vanilla accord.

Gucci says that ylang-ylang brings a creamy luminosity, while the lily leaves a slightly sweet and citrusy trail. Sandalwood adds depth and warmth, with a subtle note of musk.

How to apply it

1. Spray on clean, well-moisturized skin.
2. Apply to the wrists and neck, then get dressed after it has dried.
3. Hold the bottle a few inches away from the skin.
4. Do not rub the skin, so as not to disrupt the balance of the flowers.
5. Start with two sprays and increase the dose only if necessary.
