Bamboo
The scent of bamboo is predominantly green, fresh, and watery, evoking the cool, crisp air of a dense grove. It possesses a subtle, clean woodiness, less resinous than traditional woods and more akin to the stalk itself – slightly sweet, vegetal, and airy. Its texture is smooth and cool, like running your hand along a polished stalk. Intensity is typically moderate, leaning towards understated elegance rather than overpowering projection. It behaves primarily as a top or heart note, lending an initial burst of dewy freshness that evolves into a clean, slightly woody green core. It is not a heavy or dense note; its character is light, transparent, and uplifting, often described as 'clean' or 'natural'. Longevity is moderate, as its fresher components dissipate, leaving a faint, clean green trace.
