Mimosa Pour Moi

L'Artisan does some of the most natural smelling and realistic floral and green fragrances out there. None of that fake flower thing going on at the House of L'Artisan. If you like Mimosa, then there should be no surprises in this for you, only delight. I have worn this off and on for years and I never tire of it. For me it is not too sweet at all, as the sweetness is so expertly balanced with the green. It just smells springy, fresh and feminine without being too girly or too painfully floral. The vanilla is very low key, another thing L'Artisan usually gets right. Quality vanilla and in the right amounts so that it is a compliment and not a distraction. My nose pretty much only smells Mimosa and leaf..but it is clearly softened by the vanilla, even if I do not directly think "vanilla". I have no longevity issues with L'Artisan. I have naturally oily skin so maybe that is why. I actually get better longevity from them than I do some of the others that are raved about for their length of staying power. I guess everyone's chemistry is different but I generally do not get more than 3-4 hours from most fragrances. Unless it is the popular department store designer fragrances that seem to cling on for dear life screaming and reminding everyone to smell them and buy them. Mimosa pour Moi is a beautiful, uncomplicated, quality fragrance that doesn't smell like anything else. For me it is a winner. Edit: I payed closer attention to how long this lasts this time. I sprayed it on 8-1/2 hours ago and it is still going strong. I guess I am lucky in that L'Artisan has great staying power on me. It always surprises me that others have issues in this area.

Heavenly naturalistic smell of mimosa from the boxed bottle. When just sprayed – pencil shavings and no mimosa. Very delicate and non-sweet vanilla – just perfect for me, for always all vanillas are too syrupy sweet for my liking. Then it’s time for wonderfully green and fragrant black currant leaf combined with slightly bitter taste of violet leaves. At this point I start getting mimosa with a hint of acacia honey at last. Both mimosa and honey are very gentle, etherial almost. I imagine myself under a mimosa tree on an early morning, when the breeze from the sea gently wafts the scent of flowers into my face. Spring bliss, which works perfectly for me when it’s -18 outside. I can say that I’m super impressed with masterful rendition of all the notes in a perfume pyramid, this perfume is a very high quality art in a perfume world, and oh my! I'm ever so glad that I have it!

My signature scent for a couple of years in college was Mimosa by Christiane Celle. I expected this to smell similar, so I didn't bother sampling it until very recently. I was astounded at the difference. Celle's Mimosa is quite sweet compared to L'Artisan, which has a tart quality. It's very blurry, but L'Artisan's Mimosa reminds me of the taste of a tangy hard candy I ate when I was little; a candy that is likely no longer manufactured or I'd remember it easier. I think it's the cassis leaf that makes it seem extremely green and juicy fresh. Violet leaf is very obvious to me as well and reminds me of Balenciaga's L'Essence. I love the hint of vanilla in the base, while Celle's Mimosa is strictly floral--no vanilla whatsoever. Now that I am "over" my former signature scent, I will eagerly convert to L'Artisan's version of Mimosa. It's fresh, yellow, and inviting of spring.

I found an inexpensive dupe!!! You would also be shocked at just how much this fragrance smells like violets! The dupe is not perfect, but it is close enough!! I dare you to try it as I have. Violetas Francesas Cologne. You can get it for cheap on eBay. Also, if you don’t think it’s a dupe, then test it. I have pour moi (old version being the clear bottle gold cap) on one arm and violetas francesas on the other, it’s very close! Also, this is coming from a person that has tried most of the “this perfume reminds me of” on this page. Violetas is like MPM, but with some violet. You are welcome!! Also, I found MPM when I went looking for 90’s Leap from The Body Shop. The oil from the body shop lasted.. but unfortunately MPM does not. Considering a bottle of this discontinued beauty is 200 and up.. only purchase if you are extremely die hard about the fragrance.

for me, there are two ways to handle mimosa which is easily overpowered by anything else: either enhance the yellowish vanillic softness via vanilla, heliotropin, iris etc, or go for the green aspect via cucumber, violet, wood, moss etc.... mimosa pour moi conserves very well the initial fluffy burst of the smell and then goes for the latter. on the one side I don't know any mimosa-scent that is as close to this yellowish cloudy vanillic cucumber smell of the flower than this one (a pity that nicolai had to ban Mimosaique of her line because of the regulations). but on the other side, as soon as the gorgeous top notes fade I find it too iso-e-super driven ("grindingly" sour!), too brash and therefore not very admirable..also the small woody violet in the end can't save it from a disappointing development. unpleasant in the end...

This is a very cute fragrance. Definitely mimosa is there. It is not a fresh mimosa just coming from the three I had habitude to smell in early spring. These are branches of mimosa put several days ago into a vase. And pollen lost by hundreds of yellows heads is all around the vase covering an opened box of sweets under this vase. The branches of mimosa are surrounded by shaggy violet green leaves. This sent is fluffy, slightly sweet and green. It is a slightly candied greenish mimosa (confite). And the yellow pollen is in the air tickling your extremities. I like a lot this happy yellow scent naturally smelling like all artisan fragrancies. And wear it in autumn and winter on casual occasions. It makes me feel a sun and gives some good mood. The lasting power is quite good and the projection is from small to medium.

“Poetic” Hugs with your little nieces. Cuddles with puppies. A spot of tea with scones. Afternoon matinee on a work day. Date night with your spouse. Clean sheets. A call from an old friend. Compliments. Meeting up for drinks with your favorite people. Mimosa Pour Moi is seemingly so simple. It’s soft and fuzzy. It’s delicate sunshiny perfection. It’s the aroma of all the good and pure things in life. If you love the scent of mimosa, don’t miss this, it’s the truest and most beautifully delicate mimosa. Such a blissful genuine pleasure. ✨💛 “Hope is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - That sings a tune without words - And never stops - at all - ....” —Emily Dickinson

minimale, essenziale, straordinaria mimosa. anche se nella piramide olfattiva compaiono anche foglie di violetta, cassis e vaniglia, l'effetto finale è un bouquet eccezionalmente primaverile e fresco, incentrato sulla mimosa, a cui le altre note, pochissimo invadenti, forniscono un sottofondo gentile. potrebbe sembrare monocorde, dato che non evolve verso il solito fondo muschiato o ambrato, ma invece la sua bellezza consiste proprio nella semplicità quasi innocente. è un profumo verde, ma non troppo, dolce, ma non troppo, tropicale, ma non troppo: assolutamente bilanciato nella sua resa olfattiva. mimosa tout court. meraviglioso.

<3 ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, one of Anne Flipo's best work! Starts fresh and green due to the violet leaves then transforms into a creamy, soft and sweet yellow beauty. Wearing it feels like I'm covered in liquid sunshine. It's velvety and caressing like the first warm rays of the spring sun. Makes me feel loved and happy. Uncomplicated and as true to nature as it can be. Definitely my favourite fragrance. Hands down the best mimosa creation out there! Men are captivated by its innocence :-) <3

After i tested it in parfumerie in Italy i got a sample On paper cart amd my sleeve from Italy it last more than week, on me from my sample it disappears right way.. maybe because tester are more concentrated? It is beautiful powdery soft mimosa or other flower I dont smell nothing green on me just soft mimosa with hint of powder I detect something plastic as someone mentioned it but very soft The same plastic undertone like l'ete deuce I like both

To all Yellow Flower Seeking Birds and Friends and Relations: Mimosa pour Moi is for me, it is !! I have found a light version of Datura Noir, a small miracle. Quel beauty and what scenery it represents: I find myself in the Alpes Maritimes, near the Côte d'Azur and it is springtime. Early morning is still very cold. When lunch hour approaches the sun starts to burn, yet everything is fresh and blooming. Happy, happy times.

Gorgeous,Unforgettable, Exquisite. The CREME DE LA CREME, of floral perfumes. Worth every penny. Happy, Sunny and bright, with a hint of honeyed Marzipan. Ultra feminine and very Pretty. Truly beautiful. I believe it's very rare, but can still occasionally be found.

Love this light, sweet but not sickly, warm scent. It doesn't invade the room and is light enough to reapply during the day. Perfect day wear scent for me. It's lighter than some clothes conditioners but you still know you are wearing it. Doesn't last too long.

It was a blind buy, and I don't regret! It's a sunshine in the bottle. Gentle, subtle, realistic mimosa. Very feminine and delicate!

The violet leaf is very dominant for me in this one. Without looking up the notes I would have said this was a Violet Leaf soliflore. The mimosa sweetens it up a bit and gives it a bit more of a care free and feminine feel. I don't get much of the vanilla or cassis. This scent is pretty linear as well, it could be because it doesn't really have time to evolve on your skin. It's totally gone in about two hours and is basically a skin scent from start to finish too. That being said, I often reach for my sample of this when I need to lift my mood. I find it comforting and it makes me feel girly and safe. The major drawback is the cost. Reapplying every two hours means you'll burn up your $100 or so dollar bottle pretty fast.

Mimosa Pour Moi has intimate sillage from the very start. The opening is violet leaf and vanilla dominant with a hint of mimosa. It's nice and soft. The descriptor floral green seems right. But it's also powdery and has an air of by the sea. I could see myself wearing this on the Italian Riviera on an early spring day, or at least I could if it wasn't discontinued. It's fairly linear: you get a little more mimosa later but not much more. I find it lasts about five and half, six hours. It's similar to Verte Violet by the same House.

It opens with the most greenest notes I have ever encountered in perfumes. The greeness is even a tiny bit disturbing. The green part fades out really fast and the mimosa hits in, the perfume becomes almost sickly sweet. The sweetness is honey and candy like, it's almost hard to wear it on my wrist as it smells too edbile, oh, not edible, but like something you put in your tee to make it sweeter. I must say that even if I can appreciate the perfume it is wee bit too sweet for me to ever wear.

Green mimosa. Usually a powdery mimosa note smells somewhat dim or stuffy to me, but that greenness truly lights the whole thing up. I've never smelled real mimosa before, but somehow this perfume convinced me that, this is what true mimosa smells like: a bit stuffy, sometimes a bit oily, a demure little flower. Interestingly, the dry-down is very......geranium(or coumarin?), although it's not listed on the notes. I guess it serves to provide that slightly stuffy/muddy base.

Its lovely. Green mimosa, greenness at the root. Then soft fuzzy yellow mimosa flowers. Its very nice but very intimate, really a private scent. Smells like a happy childhood, sunshine glimmering through foliage. Perfect spring time scent. It sits close to you but not faint if that makes any sense - you smell it on yourself during the course of the day and it smells so good you just want to stop and have a moment in a private memory.
