My Shadow on the Wall

Oh... My... Godness... This is pure class! The opening is similar to mimosa & cardamom by jo malone. Then violet comes in and might smell slighlty feminine but wait for the drop..... :-) Because when it settles it just blends perfectly with some other sweet/woody note that makes this masterpiece just unisex perfection. Wow, wow and wow!!!!! Floral, unisex, creamy and top. Love it

this is beautiful violet -mimosa combo. i love the green-ness and freshness of the violet. the mimosa balances the violet nicely. it was pretty linear on my skin- but very pleasant. if you want elegant violet forward perfume, this is for you!

Really surprised at the reviews I'm reading. This is an incredibly alluring, spicy, form-fitting scent made for a man/confident woman. Absolutely worth testing - of my 50+ niche fragrances, I'd say this is by far the sexiest.

I love that one. It's a kind of dark flowery scent, I think it's very sensual and soothing, the style reminds me of Santal Blush by Tom Ford, the flowery component is just waaay more hypnotizing to me. Amazing one

A very well blended sweet violet leaf and mimosa which sandalwood takes their place when drydown. Nice and feminine but I don’t think it works for men.

Moody, arty, avant-garde reinterpretation of violet with a surprisingly wild natural edge. I'm usually a violent violet hater - it's the smell of twee, powder-pink, fake-nice old-lady to me - but If I were ever to fall in love with a violet fragrance it might be this one. Because it's not fake-nice or twee *at all*. The really punchy, peppery-spicy, herbal presence of the violet leaf means it's closer to a real wet garden (or even wild plant) smell than a cloying talcum powder or cleaning product. The mimosa is veeeery sweet but, again, shaded in well enough not to cloy. Nice clean sandalwood base too. So: not my sort of (violet-purple silk lined) thing, but if you don't have this prejudice and are seeking a modern, organic-seeming violet scent, this is a hugely upmarket and classy one to try.

Finally a Floraiku that feels unique and maybe remotely worth the price, the mimosa with violet combo is fresh and ozonic in a powdery weird way. The sandalwood in the dydown makes it feel more creamier to me this really stands out to me and is almost bottle worthy if the florals last longer than the first hour but this is actually one I can almost recommend but feel its just missing something to make it truly memorable and worth buying.

A cottony, super soft mimosa scent. Like its counterparts, it carries that honeyed feel. It also gives you plenty of violet leaf, very ozonic. There's a vanilla sweetness too, quite adorable, a beauty that represents the color yellow... A powdery mimosa scent that blows with the wind... Mmmh... It reminded me of a JM scent, but this one is airier, cuter, and longer lasting. Tag(s): mimosa, honeyed, violet leaf, ozonic, soft, yellow

A rare “interesting like” perfume from this brand. My Shadow on the Wall Opens with both florals present—mimosa and violet— but with pepper and a dill note. It’s a powdery fresh bouquet with some herbs added. Obviously there’s more notes here that aren’t listed above. I’m not sure I’m picking up sandalwood, but the base is woodier. This is a weird one and I like it.

Salty, grassy dryness, like vetiver. Tingles in my nose, ozonic describes it well. Gets sweet, creamy with just a hint of the ozonic sparkle from earlier, which makes it nice. Works together nicely, but way too soft. Performance sucks, mostly. Would have to be twice as loud to be worth putting money on the table, if I can barely smell it myself, it just won't do.

Mimosa overload. Gave me a headache for the first hour of wearing it after which became warm, dusty and cozy. There’s something nostalgic about mimosa that reminds me of my favorite teacher. If you love jo malone mimosa and cardamom, you will enjoy this one too. However i don’t find it special and doesn’t last long on my skin therefore overpriced imo.

Thankfully enough, the mimosa isn't as strong as I thought it'd be. This actually came as a pleasant surprise to me, also because I'm not usually a fan of ozonic / violet leaf fragrances. But this is actually pretty good, apart from the fact that there is virtually no sandalwood in here. I do pick up a leathery vibe to it though.

Powdery violets and mimosa, leans sweet. There's a definite sharp 'zing!' that can be interpretated as ozonic, lends a bit of balance to the powder, but definitely not enough still the powderiness persists. Works best in cool/warmish weather, so spring or autumn. Might be too intense in the summertime.

This a pretty unisex take on violet. It is very green in the opening then it turns floral, the mimosa and violet powdery is very nice. The sandalwood takes over in the dry down and is very high quality and woody and deep. If you want a violet that isn't to sweet or super feminine check this one out.

The fragrance smells juicy, grassy and leafy green. Very cucumber!! Definitely a spring and summer fragrance. There's mimosa but not sweet. It's dry as in greenness under high noon sun dry. It's woody spicy in cool tone. Hard to dislike.

Why am I getting "cucumber" in this fragrance? I'm guessing it's the watery, ozonic notes. The opening is a little rough -- the violet is scratchy to me. But as it dries down, it's a lovely, subtle scent. Nice for spring and summer.

Powdery, muted, creamy, relaxed, sexy. I'm a big fan of this scent, new to mimosa fragrances but now planning to try others. It is slightly headache inducing though.

It smells like nice, clean and fresh hand cream. So, it is a bit creamy too. A pleasant scent.

Yes, the opening of this is mimosa. A soft, creamy, nicely balanced mimosa, granted, but if .. like me.. you don't absolutely love mimosa then the opening and mid of this one .. take a bit of work to get through. What I will say, though, is that if you do make it through the first hour, then the full drydown is just beautiful!! It is SO comforting, kind of like a clean, warm, baby powder hug, it is actually lovely! If you are a mimosa fan there is a good chance it will be an end-to-end 'love' for you. As much as I really did enjoy the drydown, for general wear, this one is a pass for me
