Aqua Allegoria Tiare Mimosa

Something really simple & fresh for spring/summer! I'm very intrigued by the Aqua Allegoria line, they are something different (to me) from Guerlain. Less powdery and 'classic', a little more natural and 'from the earth'. Tiare Mimosa is light, fresh, and somewhat non-descript. A good "no perfume" fragrance, I would say, as you will probably just smell very clean/freshly showered. Mimosa, lemon and musk are the notes that are most prominent on my skin, the white floral note is fleeting. I saw reviews when I was interested in purchasing a decant that described this as "tropical", and I personally wouldn't go that far! The tiare here is not of the sunscreen/blends-well-with-coconut variety. It leans more towards fresh and generically-white-floral. The drydown is a hint soapy, but that is usually what happens to mimosa on my skin - so definitely try for yourself! Overall, Tiare Mimosa is good, but not great - nothing I would purchase a full bottle of. I would see this being a nice scent for wearing to work, or if you're prone to headaches from strong perfumes. The longevity is moderate, and the sillage is minimal. About as inoffensive as you can get!

Whenever I wear this perfume I feel like I am bathed in sunshine and happiness. It is so comforting, cozy and warm. It is like walking through a wildflower meadow on a sunny gorgeous day. It makes me feel like I am in a place where there could be no pain or suffering. I know that scents could adjust how we feel by affecting our chemistry. This smell makes me feel happy whenever I wear it. I always loved the smell of honey and beeswax. This scent definitely reminds me of a wildflower honey. The opening is fresh with citrus notes and a touch of pepper. And then this beautiful honey-like scent comes in. But it is not sugary sweet to me. It smells to me like a gentle essence of wildflowers. Mimosa is not pronounced but I think it is there to create a wonderful smooth backdrop. What I love about this smell that it feels very natural to me. It is EDT but for me it lasts for quite some time. It is not as strong as other perfumes but it is longer lasting than other EDTs I have. In our tough world with so much stress we definitely can use a bit of sunshine and happiness every day. This perfume is sunshine and happiness in the bottle.

I was passing the Guerlain store and a sales person just sprayed some on my wrist... I did not pay attention to the name of the perfume. 2 hours later I returned to that store because I could not stop inhaling the wonderful and , yes, very cheerful fragrance left on my wrist. This is how one falls in love with a fragrance, I guess. I was ready to pay any price asked... I am not a big fan of Vanilla, but in this fragrance Vanilla is so intertwined with other notes that I cannot imagine this bouquet without it even though it is not as heavy as it is usually used in other fragrances. I read that Vanilla calms the mind and brings joy and romance to the atmosphere, by the way. As for citrus notes, this orchestra plays music from heaven. I don’t notice where the flowers hide under the lemon skin but I can feel their presence. I can see them blooming in yellow and orange colors around me and I can touch the most delicate flower – mimosa... (I know, in Europe, mimosa is associated with a feminine character, a fragile feminine soul...) The harmony just touches every sense and truly brings joy to my day.

Found a bottle of this discontinued Allegoria on eBay and as I am fond of both Tiare and Mimosa notes, and a huge Guerlain fan, I had to get it. I am sure I had tested it at the time when it came out (it smells familiar) but not purchased. As I seem to be in some kind of a mimosa period, I thought why not. First of all, its much more sophisticated and aromatic than I anticipated based on the notes. I think its the pink pepper, which is a very strong substance really pushing through, that creates most of this effect. In fact, personally I would probably prefer a version with a bit less pepper and bit more tiare, leaning more into fresh floral. But overall it is lovely, sunshine, white and yellow flowers, tiny bit powderiness on dry down after an hour or two. There is something really lovely and alive about it, not the tropics but mediterranean. If Guerlain is ever going to bring back some of the discontinued Allegorias, this would be a strong candidate, it has a timeless quality. Just tone down the pepper a bit please.

Thanks to a kind friend I was sent a sample of this lovely perfume. Tiare-Mimosa is initially very citrus and reminded me of ripe oranges. As it settled down it became a gentle and musky (more like vanilla) floral, but still exciting with the pink pepper note and the citrus floating around. I think the pink pepper is what makes the tropical-flower truly alive and spirited except in a very feminine way. This truly was a joy to experience as it is light and edging on the mature side, but still elegant and radiant, perfect for spring. I imagine a dainty and delicate lady wearing this, but has a beautiful and compassionate inner personality. It is very comforting! The silage is moderate and the longevity is about 3-4 hours on me. As a side comment, this dry down reminds me of See by Chloe, but not as fruity. (:

I bought Tiare-Mimosa last April. The warm and peppery sweetnes brought me memories to Timor Leste and I liked the perfume a lot, without knowing why. Perhaps for I was working toward my first paper on the religious history of that remote island. It has a hint of white sacrality, a purity that smells mesmerizing and powerful. Then, I realised it had something in common with the rare "I Love Dior" (the bottle with an incongruous jeans motive). But the later is now discontinued and I am happy to find something to replace it, even though Tiare-Mimosa is lighter and brighter, with a virginal personality. What could be in common? Mimosa? Or the waxe-y note? Who cares?

This fascinating summertime bouquet, featuring sunny fuzzy globes of sweet acacia and flourishing frangipani, is pleasantly familiar. This is the smell of my backyard in summer. It warms my heart being able to take my very own secret garden aroma with me wherever I go. Tiare Mimosa excites my senses. I find it thoroughly enchanting. Warm sticky honey and notes of vanilla-bean and airy musk playfully entangle themselves around yellow and white petals creating an intricate floral. I'm looking forward to slowly unravelling its many charms as the temperatures soar in the coming months.

Got great deal on it. As much as I absolutely don’t like Tiare usually in fragrances this one surprised me, it starts very lemony and fresh with lily like other mentioned, I can smell pear which is not listed, I wonder if it’s from Tiare flower. It’s very clean and so pleasant, I really love it. Yes the longevity sucks, but the scent is very pleasant, almost like after shower clean, the mimosa ads the femininity to the scent and makes it powdery, very spring - summer. I enjoy it a lot.

Tiare Mimosa is SUBLIME. The first spray is bright and fresh, with lots of the lush tiare flower, and then the mimosa makes the scent sparkle. Eventually it becomes a delicate citrus scent with just a dash of pink pepper for interest. This perfume is beautifully blended and executed; it's joyful, light perfection.

This is good stuff. A youthful guerlain,not too complicated,not too abstract. Lemon and pink pepper are major players here,don't let the name mislead you. I am a fan of luscious tiare but this is discrete.Not exotic,wild,loud. It is a whisper of tiare actually... Mimose is the main floral theme. Lovely.

I love this most of all on fabrics, it lasts beautifully and smells both clean and sweet. well priced imo! As for it being unisex, my ex used to always spray this on his clothes if he didn't have time to wash them! Also really nice on sheets/laundry.

i love this one, i have bought two 75ml bottle already and still i am going to stock it up the 125ml since i heard it discontinued. Many found AA perfume not sophisticate enough, but doesn't matter to me this smell just makes me blissful.

گیرش نمیارم اینو توی ایران. اما یه بار توی لندن جایی تستش کردم دیوونم کرد. میموساش واقعن دوست داشتنیه و خوبی عطرش اینه که لایته و سبک. به درد روزای گرم می خوره

A customer was wearing this scent and I liked it so much I just had to ask her what it was! After a long time I finally got a bottle and I am so glad! This is such a lovely fragrance, love at first sight. It starts very citrus and green, which I actually like, then it opens up into white floral, but the drydown is the most beautiful part for me, all musk and clean powder. Almost like an expensive floral soap bar (not the granny type btw...). I love clean scents. It is sweet, but not in a overpowering way, I tend to stay away from very sweet perfumes as they usually turn sweeter on my skin and give me headaches. But this one remained beautiful. The only con is that it could last longer, after 7 hours it starts to disappear, but that is already good enough for a EDT. I am not very good at describing perfumes, but this creates such a clear picture in my mind. I can see myself laying in a white bed having a nap on summer day, while the sunset comes through the windows and embraces me with its orange rays. I can see the sea in the horizon far away. I do not know why I picture this scene, but it is very comforting. Now for the sad part... I can't believe I just discovered and fell in love with this and also just found out it is discontinued! I want to cry! I need to search ebay and stock up :(

I haven't worn this in a while so I had it on my swap list. But then, I went to dig it out and it somehow leaked all over my storage area for perfumes I don't wear much! I have no idea (but maybe a little sneaking suspicion my 8 year old DD is involved, lol!) but I am kind of glad it did because it made me test it all again, in the process of cleaning it up! It is such a soft version of Tiare and Mimosa which aren't always so. In fact, I had a bottle of L'Occitane Voyage de Mediterranee Mimosa which is like a sharp and angry cousin to this! On my skin, on this hot and muggy day, it is just a slight bit of sweet, very yellow smelling if yellow had a scent, and is happy and cheerful! Sadly, because of the nature of this test, I can't say much about silage or longevity. I have more of it on me than anyone should! But it's a cute, vibrant, smooth and happy summer frag and I'll enjoy what's left of it.

This one is a nice one . to me it starts off very much like . L`occitans . Miel shimmering. honey like warm , whit a bit off flowery feel to it. i can say that the pepper comes very much forth one my skin.. then after an hour or so it starts to get more towards Vanilla. i feel a similarity to gucci the one . vanilla and fruty in a pleasent way. Very refreshing actualy , not cloying or anoying , Just a pleasent surprise. this im going to get myself a bottle off i think. I see a lot off people talking about it as very citrusy. but to me it not so much about the citrus. more honey mimosa and vanilla. but offcourse it is cemestry aswell to be taken into consideration

Very likable and noticeable fragrance. I got a compliment from a female coworker as she passed by me. The sweet smell definitely invokes a mental image of spring in full blooms. I love it the most when the weather is chilly as the sweetness stays crisp and fresh. In hot and humid summer, it becomes too intoxicatingly overbearing. It has a bigger than moderate silage. As I'm wear-testing Timbuktu, Tam Dao and Tiare Mimosa right now and my nose only picks up constant waft of Tiare Mimosa. The performance is in line with other fragrances from Guerlain; it does not disappoint and in fact, they are my personal standard for any other niche perfumes.

This is an interesting perfume. It smells funny at the begining but after a minute or two I start to recognise mimosa combined with the exotic tiare and just a little bit of pink pepper and lemon. Mimosa and tiare are more intensive than all the other notes which is great. I very much love exotic perfumes with tiare or frangipani and I must say that Tiare-Mimosa from Guerlain is not my favourite perfume of that kind. Personally, I prefer Chantecaille perfumes. However, it is worth to try. It is little sweet but not sticky or candy sweet. It is fresh summer scent. Sillage is good, longevity not so great. I need to reapply it during the day.

The first time I tested this was a few months ago and I thought it was boring and did not think much of it. Today I recieved a sample that I had ordered by mistake and tried it again. Turns out it was the summer scent I was craving! I am not sure what happened to my taste, I don't find it boring anymore. It's very refreshing and doesn't smell like a detergent (yay!). I love the lemon and jasmine combo. I can detect the pink pepper too and, surprisingly, I like it. It's not cloying - I prefer this in hot weather, it has become my go-to summer scent. The sillage is moderate on my skin and the longetivity is from 3 to 6 hours.

My most adorable among Allegorias. Its freshly sweet, long-lasting with that zest from pink pepper, never boring or watery or unsignificant. I think that strong citrus that many ppl smell is actually how the true mimose blossom smells like - or better to clarify,- not mimose, but acacia in bloom smells like - honeyed animalic yet springish and triumphing, and could be used to re-create the spirit of the past, I think that nothing in the world smells as magnetic and expanding,as those trees. So I just happy from my swap and to be an owner of second bottle of Tiare Mimosa(first I bought in 2010!)
