In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Bamboo by Byblos is a woody aromatic fragrance for men that centers on a crisp, green bamboo note paired with citrus. It captures the feel of a walk through a cool forest during the height of summer. The composition relies on bergamot and lemon to provide an immediate, refreshing opening that wears well in high heat.

Reviews →

Climat is a vintage floral green with a sharp aldehydic opening, clear lily of the valley, and a cool soapy brightness that slowly turns creamier, woodier, and more musky on skin. It feels polished, powdery, and unmistakably old-school. This suits someone who enjoys classic perfume structure more than modern sweetness…
