About
Bamboo Harmony by By Kilian is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Bamboo Harmony was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Calice Becker. Top notes are Bergamot, Neroli and Bitter Orange; middle notes are Tea, Bamboo, Mate, Mimosa and Spices; base notes are Fig Leaf, Holly and oak moss. Bamboo Harmony is inspired by The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, a Japanese folk tale. The bamboo stands as the symbol of human perfection and is in Chinese culture the means to practice calligraphy with, it being the main material out of which calligraphy brushes are made of. It symbolizes therefore art, beauty and the "men of letters".The fragrance Bamboo Harmony by Kilian focuses on the olfactory impression of a sip of white tea drunk off bamboo, with fresh top notes of notes of bergamot, neroli and Bigarade. The white tea leaves being renowned for their sumptuous taste and delicate refinement are here accented with a hint of spice. Coupled with white tea there are Maté notes in Bamboo Harmony , interwoven with fig leaves and oakmoss, making us savour a serene moment of spirituality in a drop of fragrance.
