1881 Edition Blanche

Do you love mimosa,.. yet you are frustrated that mimosa fragrances don’t last? One of my favorites is Mimosa Pour Moi, and the bottle was costly.. but the scent does not last!! This is a similar mimosa that has staying power. If you love that honeyed mimosa and violet leaf scent, you’ll definitely like this one. This also has great sillage.. my husband claims it still lingers in a room once I’ve left it. I’ve stocked up and bought two more bottles... that are still on Amazon for only 30 bucks. It’s not a fill the room sort of beast, but no mimosa ever really is... but it’s definitely the longest lasting mimosa in my collection.

This is such a pretty soft floral, suitable for everyday wear. Mimosa is the star of this perfume although in the opening it shares the stage with the violet leaf and bergamot which provide a crisp greenness. The green notes fade within 30 minutes or so, allowing the mimosa to truly shine along with background players of heliotrope and vanilla providing a sweet powdery backdrop. From this point the perfume is fairly linear and lasts for at least 4-6 hours. Sillage is very good, but never overpowering or oppressive. Although not a complete dupe, 1881 Blanche is extremely similar to L'Artisan Parfumeur's Mimosa Pour Moi and I wouldn't think you would need to own both unless you're a mimosa connoisseur.

I really like it, as I like all the 'white' fragrances. Unfortunately it disappears on me withing minutes. And I mean gone. Nothing lingers after those delicious few minutes. Just gone. I have no idea why:(

Fluffy and cozy. Lovely scent!

Remember "Just Say No"? OMG. I was searching for a lovely powdery scent. Feminine, soft, powdery... MmmmHmmmm. This was like a powder trainwreck. Lol First spray took me back to the days of cheapo perfumes of childhood. Gag? Yes. Choke everyone in the room? Check. SOB lasts forever for some reason? Oh yeah. Lol Do yourselves a nice, big favor: SKIP!
