Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The scent is quite subtle and restrained. The freshness is reminiscent of green tea, invigorating and pleasant. Plus, there's no intrusive chemical smell, which is nice. Longevity is good, but it's not too bright, it feels close to the skin
5/5

The green scent is simply gorgeous, its lightness and freshness are surprising. Its natural aroma was a real discovery for me, I'm thrilled! The longevity is pleasing, and the sillage is so delicate and feminine, I just have to mention it 🌿
4/5

The bottle pleases the eye with its bright green color, creating a positive mood. But after application, the scent becomes more intense, the green notes appear very bright and last a long time. A little tartness is added, which gives it an interesting nuance
4/5

The scent is clearly in an Asian style. Tea notes, powdery accents, slightly bitter pollen, and greenery. All of this sounds very neat and restrained, as if no one would dare to interfere. Suddenly, there's a feeling of something unusual. )))
5/5
5
The scent, though refreshing, leaves a bitter aftertaste. In its development, it seems beautiful, but quickly loses its charm. Notes replace each other, but not as one would wish. Longevity is there, but the sillage is not pleasing, it sounds more banal than elegant. Not impressed 😔
5/5
5
I don't expect anything good from perfumes with bamboo, they usually don't please me. But here everything is different, the scent is just great, the green notes are pleasant, and there's also something citrusy with a powdery and tea nuance, really interesting 😏
4/5

Don't throw slippers at me, but I'll say it straight: I like E. Arden's version with citrus and green notes more, it's brighter. But this Kilian, it's somehow too close to the skin, and its longevity, like most similar ones, leaves much to be desired
5/5
5
The blue series of bottles made an excellent impression on me. The scent is subtle and restrained, in the spirit of oriental perfumery. The moist bamboo particularly stood out, transforming into a warm, velvety note on the skin. It's simply a stunning spring fragrance, harmonious and inspiring
3/5

There was an interesting moment in By Kilian's history when the brand introduced its fragrances like Flower of Immortality, Bamboo Harmony, and Imperial Tea. This happened several years before major brands started paying attention to the markets of China, Japan, and Korea. Among this trio, Bamboo Harmony stands out for its subtlety and softness. The tea accent here is not as brightly expressed as in other fragrances, but its proximity to a moist green accord - perhaps shiso or aloe - gives it a special charm. The development of the scent is slow and delicate, creating a pleasant sensation
5/5
5
The citrus fougère scent that once brought joy now only brings sadness. It has that sparkling freshness, but along with it, there's a sense of loss. The top notes of bergamot, neroli, and bitter orange are vividly remembered, but the heart of white tea and mimosa seems too subtle, as if it slips away. And the base notes of mate, fig leaves, and oakmoss leave an aftertaste that lingers. It's like a memory of something that can't be brought back 😔
3/5
3
The smell of bamboo with green tea - that's something else, for sure. The tea here smells so natural, it's hard to believe it's not synthetic. It seems beautiful and fresh, but it just doesn't suit me at all. It's not my cup of tea, honestly
2/5
2
The green scent seems light and airy, with a noticeable sweetness of bamboo. In reality, it sounds quite ordinary and unimpressive. I was hoping for something more interesting and deep
4/5
4
A captivating scent, light and fresh, like a summer breeze. I associate it with green tea, bamboo, and citrus. The longevity is pleasing, and the sillage leaves a subtle trail, not intrusive but noticeable
5/5
5
Frankly, the scent didn't impress me at all. I always try to evaluate perfumes without bias, relying solely on my own feelings. No advertising tricks, other people's opinions, or the bottle's appearance should influence perception. But, alas, in this case, I found nothing special
5/5
5
The green tea scent is truly delightful! The sweetness, though not too bright, complements it perfectly. The longevity, however, leaves something to be desired, but I'll still add it to my collection 🌿
