Bambou Oriental
Bambou Oriental starts green and wet — pear and violet leaf wrapped around a watery bamboo accord, the kind of fresh top that hasn't decided yet whether it wants to be a cologne or something denser.

The answer arrives in the heart. Gardenia, ylang-ylang, plum, and fig — alongside lily of the valley, iris, and rose — pull the composition into a fruity-floral fullness, the violet-bamboo brightness now coated in something creamier.
Sandalwood, amber, vanilla, and musk close in soft-oriental terms. The 'oriental' in the name is real but restrained: the base is warm and sweet without going syrupy. It's a transitional-weather pick, the kind of floral that handles a long workday and a dinner without changing register.
