Launched in 2015, Gucci Bamboo is a warm, woody perfume that is said to be a “signature” scent for many fragrance fans during winter. Its “delicate” blend of florals, sandalwood and vanilla has become a hit with those who are looking for something a bit different.
The scent itself isn’t the only reason Bamboo is a standout, as its bottle has also been a talking point for many. Cut from art-deco glass with a curved cap, it is a “pretty” bottle that will add an elegant touch to your perfume collection.
One five-star review read: “A really lovely scent that stays with you all day. You don’t need much as it is a strong scent. it is a lively mix of florals and fruits that is unusual and a memorable perfume! It’s my first time but will definitely continue with this perfume.”
A second read: “This perfume is a subtle vanilla yet boldly woodsy amber yet floral as in lily that lingers throughout the day that leashes this unique scent that is of no others! My family recognizes me to this scent! I’ve tried others, but this one has this tiny little kick to it that’s so sexy, it’ll draw anyone to you!”
Someone else penned: “I always buy this perfume. Floral woody smell, gorgeous. I always get compliments when I wear it!”
Another shopper wrote: “One of my favorite perfumes. It has a dark musky sexy kind of smell. It gives a dark and mysterious kind of vibe. Lasts a very long time and have gotten a lot of compliments.”
One other Boots shopper said: “A favourite scent of mine. Complex but not cloying, subtle but lasting. I love wearing this as a signature scent to work or to go out in the fall and winter.”
