Mimosa & Héliotrope Poudré

First I tried this in the perfume shop, on my dress, since I had tried two other scents too, one on each wrist. Did not like it very much then - the whole afternoon I thought I had spilled some very sweet icecream on my dress. But today, I tried it on my skin, when I had come to buy the other two fragrances. And I liked this a lot more on the skin... yes, it is a funny and unusual fragrance - smells like ripe ecological bananas. Or even banana jam. But after maybe half an hour to an hour, the flowers and the powder comes through. Very lovely, actually. So I ended up buying this AND the other two fragrances, and then a fourth fragrance as well... since it was 70% off the price! Going to give two bottles away as birthday gifts for my daughters in law. I think these fragrances are well suited for gifts, since they are natural, and like a little special treat, more than usual/ordinary perfumes - in that case I feel you have to know exactly what someone wishes for. But these, you can give away a little more casual, I think. Almost like you do with a scented candle or something like that. For myself, I keep this and Carvi & Jardin de Figuier, eau de parfum concentration. ( This one is eau concentree, a bit stronger, but I don’t think too strong.) Both lovely to wear alone, or to mix with eachother. So happy with today’s shopping bargains!! What a lovely summer day! ( Gonna bake a banana cheesecake with figs... 😃😋🤩)

This is my favourite from 100 Bon. I adore mimosa and heliotrope so much that I keep chasing perfumes with these notes. The first one of this vibe I fall for was Reminiscense Heliotrope but this M&H smells way more natural without that synthetic rubbery almond in RH. If anyone loves warm cozy powders and doesn't like cold metallic powders in iris as I do. M&H will be so good for everyday use as rather Caron Farnesiana (which I love dearly) seems suitable to keep in vault for collection or at least to save for formal occasions. Of course one shouldn't expect it very long lasting at its price point.

This one is amazing! Veeeeery well made! It's a natural fragrance that doesn't make you feel like eatting the stem of the flower. It's a warm fragrance, so one can wear it in any season. It smells exactly like fresh, pink mimosa flowers from the tree, plus heliotrope. It evolves beautifully and the dry-down is like sniffing a box of those tiny, multi-colored, Cip candies, if you know them. I also adore the natural powder note of this fragrance. It's different than any other natural fragrances on the market.

Initial spray is a powdery floral bomb. I felt like I was standing in a florist next to a bunch of yellow flowers. The dry down mellows into a light suntan lotion smell, which makes me can't stop smelling myself.

Such a beautiful vanilla, creamy and fresh smell. 🙂 A natural perfume, that feels incredible. One of my favourite ones so far.
