Note Pyramid
Bamboo
Set beside the eau de parfum, Gucci Bamboo Eau de Toilette is the brighter and busier of the two, with four materials in the top where the stronger version has one.
Sicilian bergamot opens it bitter and clean, Italian mandarin adds a sweet, round juiciness, pear brings a crisp watery sweetness and orange blossom a honeyed floral lift, so the first ten minutes are considerably more cheerful than in the parfum. The heart is where the two versions meet: Casablanca lily cool and green and dusty with pollen, jasmine heady beneath it, and ylang ylang creamy and faintly custardy, making a white bouquet that is full without being heavy. The base is the lighter of the two as well. White musk gives a clean, laundered softness, ambergris a salty mineral warmth, Tahitian vanilla a soft floral sweetness, and sandalwood the creamy wood that holds the rest together. It finishes close to the skin and quite polished.
Eleven materials and a proper arc through them. At toilette strength it holds five or six hours, with a gentler reach than the parfum has, which makes this the better choice for heat, for an office and for anybody who finds the richer version too insistent. Women are the market, spring and summer the seasons, and daylight the right time of day for it. Of the two concentrations, buy this one for the summer and the stronger one for the rest of the year. The year on it is 2016. Gucci began in Florence in 1921, when Guccio Gucci opened a business in luggage and fine goods that grew into equestrian accessories, the loafer and ready to wear; Its fragrance has always been made under licence by others, and the house belongs to Kering.
