A MODERN PERFUME INGREDIENT
Mimosa, like some of its fellow whites, is a difficult flower to tame. It has a reputation for having retro or vintage accents, but perfumers can use it to create floral accords and floral facets. Mimosa is often used for its powdery notes. On its own, it will bring a lot of naturalness to a composition; associated with notes like iris root, violet or carrot seed, they will emphasize its powdery facet.
Powerful, intimate and alluring for all genders, the sunny yellow blossoms of Mimosa offer a soft, sweet fragrance that heralds the joyful beginning of spring. In a very unusual pairing, Mimosa is featured in Annick Goutal’s Eau de Charlotte, where it compliments both Black Currant Bud and Cacao absolutes.
Some fragrances that contain Mimosa are: Aqua Allegoria, Tiaré-Mimosa by Guerlain, Champs Élysées by Guerlain, Paris by YSL, Amarige by Givenchy, Mimosa & Cardamom cologne by Jo Malone to name a few.
