Rue Paradis

Wonderful soft spicy, powdery mimosa dominant perfume with a woody base. The mimosa is dominant here, but not too sweet, strong and slightly honeyed, it’s balanced perfectly with a touch of anise star, which makes smell liquorice like. Nothing too exciting, but it’s a beautiful mimosa forward scent for those looking for such scent! Feminine and warm, Rue Paradise is the perfect scent for spring/summer. It’s floral, it’s vibrant, it’s honeyed sweet with moderate longevity and intimate sillage. If you can get your hands on it and you like mimosa, get it. It’s reasonably priced and comes in a gorgeous, luminous, sunny bottle!

The perfumes of Les Nereides are criminally underrated. This to me is what Jo Malone tried to be with Mimosa & Cardamom but Rue Paradis actually stays longer on your skin and develops better - I tried both perfumes and Mimosa & Cardamom was barely there after 2 hours, while RP was still going strong 4-5 hours later. The star anise is barely noticeable and the drydown is gorgeous mimosa-sandalwood blend.

Beautiful fresh scent of mimosa and linden blossom (for me they smell quite similar). It’s powdery and dry with radiant musky woods in the base. It has a touch of sweetness but it’s veeery subtle. It’s quite strong and powerful, I didn’t expect that from a lux fragrance.

Beautiful, feminine, and tender, this fragrance weaves powdery notes with the subtle sensuality of magnolia. Its romantic sweetness harmonizes with boudoir-like powderiness, making this creation a true pleasure to wear, very intimately close to skin.

One of my favorites, especially for the spring! I've been looking for a mimosa scent for some time and this is perfect... The anise note reminds me of Sunny Seaside of Zanzibar from 4771, but way better blended!
