Bamboo captures the tranquil greenness of spring and summer in Zhejiang — a vision of misty hills and swaying bamboo after the morning fog has lifted. The breeze carries fresh green leaves through a soft haze of lily of the valley, jasmine and geranium. A breath of earth is suggested by vetiver and patchouli, while ambergris and cypress wrap the scent in a warm, resinous calm.
Perfumer: Juan Liu
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried morning with the windows open after rain: leafy air meets the subdued floral trace of geranium and lily-of-the-valley. Bamboo suits a quiet conversational register, its earthy woody undertone giving the delicate greenery a composed, grounded presence.
How to wear
Its leafy florals make spring and mild summer weather a natural fit. Start with one or two sprays on skin to keep the green opening measured and let the earthy base settle. In warmer conditions, apply lightly rather than layering heavily.
Who it’s for
For those who prefer foliage to fruit and restrained florals to sweetness. Bamboo will appeal to admirers of dewy green compositions who want lily-of-the-valley and geranium balanced by the earthy texture of vetiver and patchouli.

NuWilds’s story
Shanghai-based NuWilds treats fragrance as an exploration of nature, culture and imagination. Its name brings together unrestricted growth and vital energy, while its creative approach follows familiar plants, places and memories into unexpected olfactory associations.
Bamboo’s concept
Bamboo draws on early-summer Zhejiang, where morning mist lifts from hills and bamboo groves. Green foliage and small flowers shape the opening landscape; vetiver, patchouli and cypress bring it closer to the earth, translating the scene into a quiet floral-green composition.
Extra info
The Chinese name 竹影 translates as “Bamboo Shadow.” Despite that name, the official note pyramid contains no explicit bamboo note: the landscape is suggested through leaves, flowers and earthy woods. The scent also appears in a hand cream and reed diffuser.
