Used in both masculine and feminine fragrances, bamboo conjures earthy notes that are woody yet green and fresh. Its native tropical climate evokes aquatic and almost moss-like notes that mingle with intriguing hints of slight sweetness.
An exotic reed native to Asia, bamboo can grow to an astounding height of 30 meters, depending on the species. While it is possible to extract bamboo essence from natural bamboo, the note is most commonly created synthetically in laboratory. The cosmetic industry, on the other hand, is no stranger to the antioxidant qualities of natural bamboo extract, and thus you will often find products containing this powerful ingredient to boost collagen and promote a smooth complexion.
