A single note carries the entire opening of Bambou Perfume, Sicilian mandarin alone arriving bright and immediately clean in a remarkably minimal start for a genuinely decades old vintage benchmark. Jasmine, ylang ylang, tea rose, and tuberose crowd the entire middle with extraordinary floral abundance that keeps developing considerably as it settles gently on skin. Bourbon vetiver, oakmoss, and sandalwood ground the entire dry down in dense, earthy richness that lasts for many hours after the florals above have properly faded.
Formal evenings and truly special occasions both suit this floral Eau De Parfum especially well, rewarding real patience with its considerable depth. Few vintage releases from Weil or any other house still hold up quite this convincingly decades after their own original debut.
