LA VIE NOUVEAU (Bourbon French)

Both Bourbon French and Basenotes list only two notes to La Vie Nouveau: teak and bamboo. Having experienced BF's Antonis yesterday, whose only note is teak, I expected a strong resinous experience with La Vie Nouveau. The reality is quite different.

This is somewhat fruity and at the same time, dry. It is slightly green, slightly sweet, but quite laid back, not at all forceful. Could it be the scent of a bamboo shoot, cut and stripped, as one would an ear of corn? I have only experienced bamboo as small long rectangles packaged in cans with water for culinary purposes. I have not experienced raw or stripped bamboo; however, this is what La Vie Nouveau “suggests” to my nose.

I am surprised that it is listed as a masculine, since it quite unisex to my nose. Soft, powdery,
Inoffensive.

It is quite pleasant, simple, unadorned, and rather unique in my olfactory experience. Certainly unusual. I am still wondering where the teak went.
