Sea Salt Mimosa

I'm always on the lookout for a summertime beach fragrance, and lo and behold it was right in my linen closet. I had bought a selection of handwash and shower gel at a reduced price from BABW, and among my choices was C.O.Bigelow Sea Salt and Mimosa handwash. Gorgeous bottle for my guest room bath, and Wow, what a beautiful fragrance! Searched online and found there was an eau de toilette available. so I'm now wearing my Summer 2018 fragrance!! Its projection is around 12 feet, and longevity on me is 12 hours and counting. Fun to find something this delightful at an awesomely affordable price! btw, I love all the notes and find this quite feminine...

Wonderful scent. You can almost close your eyes and feel as if you're at the beach on a breezy afternoon. I simply adore this fragrance. Many many many compliments when wearing it. But what surprised me the most is the longevity coupled with the projection! I get complimented all day. I would safely say you get around 6-8 hours of positive projection and subtle after. A must buy for any beach goer!

I bought a bottle of this from Bath & Bodyworks a few years ago. I wish I had bought a backup but I didn't know it would be discontinued so quickly. It's a lovely, refreshing scent with a little depth from the musk and amber. I still take a peek inside a B&BW every once in a while just to see if I can find one.

Do yourself and your wallet a favor. If you do decide to buy this do not, I repeat do not pay the retail price of $45. I bought this,Mandarin Oak and Citrus Vetiver for less than that from eBay. I will say that this is long lasting. Easily over 6 hours with great sillage. Not 12 foot sillage but better than expected LOL! It is on the playful side as it is salty and sweet. Borderline feminine but acceptable for the right guy to wear. I don't detect any of the spicy notes as this scent is all about mimosa,salt and coconut. It smells very realistic and of high quality. This can easily be someone's Summer scent or even signature for someone who lives in a tropical climate.

I picked this up on a whim at B&BW on sale for $4...YES! $4!!!! So, anyway, it's a nice, non-offensive office friendly female-leaning scent, with surprisingly decent longevity and projection, but the scent itself is where I feel this may have been a poor investment. No kidding, it smells exactly like my mother's hairspray. It's not that it's an awful scent or reminds me of a traumatic experience, but I have absolutely no desire to walk around (for the time it lasts) smelling like a bottle of Tresemme. Period.

Bath & Body works had this on its store shelves a while ago. I think it is discontinued now. Shame that it is gone, it was a very fresh scent. Very Oceanic and a summer go-to fragrance. This company has fallen , and only sells soap within the B&BW store.

I'm not typically a huge fan of aquatics, but I've been interested in getting a couple more modern ones lately. I figured this sounded evocative of a an island, so I ordered a bottle. Unfortunately, it wasn't my cup of tea. The top blast is very harsh, and I can see the hairspray comparisons. Fortunately, that doesn't last too long though. It starts to develop into a sharp floral fragrance which reminds me of some scented dolls I remember from 20ish years ago (Cabbage Patch Kids, maybe?). I suppose that's the mimosa note. It's pretty linear and stays like that throughout its duration, though it becomes softer, more pleasant, and musky (as in a clean white musk). I don't think it's particularly salty. I do kind of get the coconut note, but it's not as forward as the main notes made me think it would be. Longevity is actually excellent, lasting well over 10 hours. Although it's more of a casual floral scent than an aquatic, so that's not too surprising. Projects strongly (too strongly) for a couple of hours, but tones down afterwards. Becomes a skin scent after 6 hours or so. I'll probably just be using my bottle to resell or trade.

Sea Salt Mimosa is an AWESOME unisex scent. I have the body wash from a semi-annual clearance and it works for a good number of aquatic fragrances. I think it smells like the Disney H20 sea salt fragrances. Fragrances I can say this works with for showering include: Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction, Antonio Banderas King of Seduction, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Pour Homme, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Pour Homme Living Stromboli, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Pour Homme Swimming in Lipari, Ed Hardy Love & Luck for Men, Fendi Fan di Fendi Pour Homme Acqua, Sean John Unforgivable, Tommy Bahamas Tommy Bahamas (2013) and Tommy Bahamas Compass. The point is if you LOVE aquatics like I do, male or female buy this bodywash if it appears in a Bath & Body Works semi-annual clearance bin or a clearance store.

Floral & slightly sweet. Very powder, it feels as I've applied a scented powder. I believe that's mimosa's doing. A very barbershop-y scent. It smells like a powder, a shaving cream, or an aftershave & that's not a bad thing. It's C.O. Bigelow after all. They take pride in being "the oldest apothecary in America". Sea Salt Mimosa does feel like a cosmetic house release. However, I can not smell the sea salt at all! I feel like people vote for it because of the name. Wanna smell salt, go check Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt. Now that's proper salt scent. Nonetheless, Sea Salt Mimosa is a nice, easy going scent. "Like" & pass.

The fragrance is aptly named and the accords are exactly as stated: powdery, floral, aquatic. The powder and aquatic notes share the stage with a lighter floral backing. It's very clean and fresh, with good projection and longevity. Although this fragrance is listed as unisex, in my opinion, it does lean slightly feminine but not feminine enough to where a man would feel uncomfortable wearing it. It should make for a great summer fragrance and I hope it gets the kind of positive responses that the previous reviewer is getting. *** EDIT #2 *** This appears to have been discontinued by the manufacturer.

I bought this on a whim, blindly. Whenever I blind buy, I check fragrantica first. Reading the comments and notes breakdown made my decide to purchased it. I thought this could be similar to wood sage and sea salt by Jo Malone but sadly, it ain't. It got it's own odor profile. I liked it though but not much love yet. I smell mimosa all throughout but the saltiness is quite faint. If I want to smell the saltiness of the sea, then Jo Malone Wood sage and sea salt is the key.

Freesia-watery floral with sweet mimosa notes and salt. I loved the salt feeling so I bought it, but after applying more than just a dab, it's not really mything. It dries down quickly to a vague hairspray scent without complexity or beauty. There's also a very pronounced and loud sandalwood note that comes out in the dry down that ruined it completely for me, as I'm not a fan of sandalwood at all. I gave this away fast.
