Mimosa

The truest soliflore, Fragonard's interpretation of mimosa comes quite close to the headspace of this flower, with its jovial, yellow descending pom-poms that proper a fresh, honeyed, almond-like aroma with green undertones. Wearing this feels like I have a bouquet of them right in the room with me. There is nothing complicated here, and I welcome that, as it highlights mimosa with just accents here and there, a little orange blossom, and a bit of heliotrope, to flesh it out. It's almost a therapeutic wear, elevating my mood, like a ray of sunshine on the gloomiest overcast New England day.

This is a must try for mimosa lovers. Being one myself I have been trying for years to find something like this - mimosa in its purest form, not buried under many layers of notes, simple but full and rounded and with all its facets, dry, flowery, pollen, yellow one as well as dark green, aromatic leafy one, sunny and warm but without the dustiness it usually goes with. Fragonard Mimosa is a bright, joyful perfume that lasts for hours, costs almost nothing and plays with cliche in a wonderful way. As I said - a must try.

It took a while for me to find this fragrance on eBay but I could not be happier about it. This is a real bunch of mimosa flowers, all fluffy and dewy, along with its stems and leaves. There is an almondy note (heliotrope?) I could have done without, as it smells a bit too sweet (maybe to make it more wearable and less herbaceous) but this is nevertheless a realistic and faithful recreation of the gorgeous scent of mimosa.

Easy addition to my wardrobe. It's fresh, projecting but simple heliotrope. I like to wear this when I'm outdoor, it 'enhances' my nature experience. A camping must have! It is also better than Heliotrope du Peru from Buly 1883 .

This is the only true mimosa fragrance I came in touch with. Byside Diptyque's room fragrance I didn't find anything what smells so close to the real flower.
