Mimosa Tanneron

Who missed the scent of spring bloom? Just 24 km from Cannes, in France, there is a lovely place called Tanneron, where every year the inhabitants of the city organize a festival, in the month of February, dedicated to mimosa. Yes, the very fluffy beauty that we are used to seeing on March 8th, well known as International Women’s Day. Tourist routes are described along the southern coast of France, accurate to local attractions and local mimosa nurseries. There is something to strive for after quarantine. Even as a girl, I made a herbarium out of mimosa for my collection. Mimosa leaves have an amazing ability to shrink at any touch, and surprisingly, they have nothing to do with the mimosa to which we are used to. This tree has pink fluffy peduncles, and our yellow beauty has a completely different name - silver acacia. In California we have another species of acacia, Acacia pycnantha, which was brought in by immigrants from Australia. This plant has adapted well to temperature changes from a hot, sultry climate to the first frost. In Los Gatos, California, there is Vasona Park, where you can find another species of acacia, blackwood acacia, which blooms along local waters in early spring. Photo enthusiasts are literally looking for a yellow cascade of bloom for their clients. This bloom attracts a lot of bees and if you come closer you can literally drown in this bright, fluffy honey whirlpool. The fragrance was created in 2020 by the legendary Jean-Claude Ellena, who already has 116 masterly performed compositions behind him. The scent of mimosa is a rather complex accord, which not all perfumers can handle, in order to keep all the components of the composition in harmony, not only experience is needed, but also a sense of balance. This sophisticated and completely non-flashy scent opens up new facets without a lethal trail. Very beautiful floral-powdery scale with notes of mimosa, hawthorn and rose. Balanced white musk lends a special charm to the base of the palette. For me this calm scent is a real discovery this year. The sweetness that remains after application makes you come back for that sip of freshness from the spring bloom. I catch myself on an involuntary smile. It opens up very nicely in cool weather. Definitely to wear in Spring. The bottle itself is made in tinted, heavy glass with gold trim. This fragrance is worth such an expensive frame. I really love powdery fragrances, and I will definitely order a full bottle for myself.

As a country gal at heart because I grew up in the country this perfume reminds me of it in a way that no other perfume has come close to doing and I am so glad I blind bought a FB. The initial salvo of this fragrance is rose but that fades rather quickly. As the fragrance progresses yellow floral abound, their presence is felt so strongly that you could swear you are inhaling their pollen instead of a perfume. This perfume is a walk outdoors in the countryside. Just ahead their is country roadside with hawthorn blooming. Their dirty and dusty fragrance mingles with the yellow pollen of the mimosa and creates the smell of fields of freshly mown alfalfa and clover drying in the sun. Minty nuances tingle the nose and refresh the senses and encourages you to progress forward on this glorious discovery of the peaceful Hamlet that is nature. Ah,the rose reappears, she was never gone just hiding for a bit. Letting the other flowers, hay and the tingling sensation of the sun on your skin shine for awhile. But rose never goes unnoticed for long. This perfume is an oasis of calm in a chaotic world. Why? Because it smells like nature, it smells like memories of a simpler and happier time. As Paul McCartney sang Oh, I believe in yesterday. Leans feminine but a floral a man could wear if so inclined. In fact I would love this on a man.

Going into a niche store where they had amongst other niche brands Perris Monte Carlo’s creations, Mimosa Tanneron was the scent I was most excited and eager to test and love. I remember seeing this recommended on YT for mimosa lovers. But it left me wanting more... Not the scent itself, it is a glorious and sweet, honeyed mimosa and hawthorn with rose flower added into the mix, but the performance. Smells natural and realistic, pure sunshine bottled, but it is underwhelming in the performance aspects. Not sure why, but possibly because but it’s only having some musk combined with the floral notes. Maybe it would have been better if there would be some woods around florals to give it more depth and a better performance. Some note that would not change the gorgeous smell but enhance performance. Maybe the fact that the sales associate recommended me to sample Patchouli Nosy Be when she saw my disappointment didn’t help either. Compared to Mimosa Tanneron, Patchouli is a beast... Nonetheless, this isn’t the one (mimosa) for me. I will keep looking.

Mimosa Tanneron is triggering a complete sensory picture. It doesn’t just give you a smell—it gives you an image and a feeling. It feels like stepping out of a cold shadow and into a pool of warm spring sunlight. Like standing under a mimosa tree while the flowers glow softly above you. When I wear it, I see yellow—tiny yellow blossoms shimmering in the light. It feels like liquid sunshine. Mimosa Tanneron is the kind of fragrance people keep for years, because every time they smell it, it recreates the same small moment of joy. The fact that I can still smell it clearly after more than 13 hours—and that it still produces that vivid image of yellow flowers—suggests that this perfume has found a very natural resonance with both my skin chemistry and my sensory imagination. My holy grail mimosa fragrance, L’Artisan Parfumeur’s Mimosa Pour Moi, was sadly discontinued. It was a beloved airy, ozonic mimosa—now a rare, hard-to-find gem. At last, I feel like I’ve found a worthy successor.

Jean-Claude Ellena and mimosa are a match made in heaven. This necatarous and polleniferous sunbeam of a flower is perfectly suited for Ellena's aquarelle approach to perfume. It has a placid realism, down to the green stems from which the inflorescences rupture into the light. An adjacent intonation of pungently anisic hawthorn is the only other role in this pageant—it is otherwise a mimosa soliflore in all its honeyed and fuzzy splendor. It susurrates as if a breeze shifts through the boughs of a mimosa tree, sweetly whispering, shedding dew drops after a light rain, only moderately powdery and oily. It winds down within a pool of creamy musk, delicately caressing the senses. Do not expect big and reverberant: this is best appreciated by those who appreciate the silence between the sounds, the spaces in between the lines. I would wear this if I anticipate hugging someone I love.

Perris Monte Carlo continues to impress me with their beautiful portraits of single scents. Mimosa Tanneron is another example. The mimosa here is fresh, green, more "dusty" than "powdery" (I mean it as a good thing). It recalls a sunny day in the early spring, when mimosas fill the fields together with other wild herbs, the air is warm and the soil is slightly dump. It is not an overly sweet fragrance, since the vegetal aspect of the scent balance the sweetness of the flower. It has a classic composition and it is quite linear. It is much fresher and greener than Goutal's Eau de Charlotte. It's bright and light, but present and persistent. The rose that shows up while the scent dries down is second fiddle to the mimosa and doesn't disturb the picture; it is a dewy, just blossomed rose. This is a little masterpiece made with the humblest of flowers.

As a huge mimosa lover, I really adore & love Mimosa Tanneron. She's linear, but the quality & smoothness is off the charts good. This perfume is so elegant and timeless, definitely a great option for a signature scent. Not only is she elegant, but there's a comforting aspect here. If I had children I'd wear this perfume around them often because it's so nurturing. A great mommy perfume. Classy, simple, elevated, and very feminine. This is the third Perris Monte Carlo I tried and I'm really getting high quality ingredients & impeccable smoothness from this house. Makes me want to dive right in and collect all of them (I hardly ever say that about any perfume house, so that's really saying something). Really great stuff happening here.

Captivating. And gorgeous. Mimosa Tanneron is my favorite mimosa dominant perfume to date....in fact, I was never a big fan of this floral, in part because too often this note goes clean and too powdery. The addition of hawthorn is creating some magic here. Just a little dirty, a little powdery and a little sweet—all while smelling fresh and natural. This is not a cosmetic bag, and it’s not a heavy hitter....and I can’t stop sniffing my wrist. What a surprising, delightful thing. Mimosa Tanneron is persistently a light scent, and an instant love. Jean Claude Ellena is working his magic in overtime. If you are a fan of his light touch I recommend getting a sample.

It's hard to do justice to how utterly enchanting this perfume is. It starts out as a bright yellow cloud of sun-warmed mimosa flowers—sweet, honeyed, dusty, dripping with pollen—with hints of grass and hay, then gradually fades into the most gorgeous, lingering petrichor scent. The sillage is quite limited but I like intimate skin scents so that's not a deal breaker for me. The longevity on the other hand is insanely impressive—it lasts a good 16 hours on my skin. I think this is nicest in the spring but it's lasted me all day even on hot, humid summer days, and is like a hug of sunshine in the winter. I'll happily wear this any day of the week, all year round.

One of the best perfumes of my life. How can I explain this gem? imagine you are lying under the yellow flowers of mimosa in a spring evening. The sun is waming your face, the wind is blowing gently to move the bushes and the great scent of mimosa is spreading in space. There is a deep tranquility associated with this wonderful perfume which is created by a legend whose name is Jean-Claude Ellena.💛 It is reminiscent of Kenzo Summer which is sadly discontinued. I am happy that mimosa tanneron is in my collection now. Life is too short and we'd better to enjoy every second of it. 💛🤍💛🤍💛

Bright mimosa, like a dewy sunrise. I find this to be way more unisex than other mimosa fragrances, also a little fresher. It’s the most natural smelling mimosa fragrance I know of. Like morning dew on flowers and leaves evaporating in a ray of sunlight. Only minus is that it doesn’t project much and only last a few hours. I don’t consider it worth the high price tag, as I have many similar fragrances (Prada, Jo Malone, Fragonard, Le Couvent). These are sweeter and more powdery, project better and last longer.

Sweet heliotropin goodness. Instant love for me. My favorite aspect of Caron Farnesiana is its distinct heliotropin note, but you have to dig past the dusty hay and pollen notes to get to it (so I do see their similarity in that regard). Mimosa Tanneron is a sweet floral heliotrope note, and not much else. It’s linear and way too short lived, but showcases my absolute favorite facet of the mimosa flower. A slightly more dewy, less powdery take. This is my Goldilocks mimosa perfume.

This is a highly realistic mimosa. I have been to the mimosa forest in Tanneron and this fragrance brings back great memories. I was on a long quest looking for the perfect natural mimosa. Many other fragrances I tested were too sharp and almost pissy. Some mixed mimosa with other strong flowers and put it in the background. Here the mimosa is the absolute star. It is so fluffy and comforting. It captures the true airy nature of the flower beautifully.

It is as of the trees of yellow flowers are raining down their scent upon you. the sunny golden heart of mimosa is captured in the slightly sweet slightly animalic hawthorn and set on a base of white musks to capture the cool wind rushing down the Massif from the high. It gives an airiness to the overall composition and highlight the most beautiful mimmosa extract ever tested. The new mimosa milestone

This smells like a dewy flower still on the stem in a morning forest. Very beautiful, feminine, relaxing, easy to the nose. My young children like the smell of it despite the fact that they hate perfume in general. The powdery salty aspect of it reminds me of FM Eau d'Hiver. I just hope it lasts longer.

Mimosa lovers beware, this is a hidden gem from this house. Such a realistic yellow floral, a bit fuzzy, powdery and so elegant. Yes a comforting mimosa scent, linear true but a very good one if you are looking for a great yellow floral frag. For me, it is FBW! Good lasting power, moderate sillage!

Isn't too strong yet lasts whole day and then some. Perfectly realistic mimosa, way, WAY more than Ray-Flection by Masque. But it is even nicer than the flower itself, it's maybe a bit harsh when you spray it but within several minutes it becomes a gentle musky scent.

I usually favor sweet, vanilla and spicy perfumes but this one is so gorgeous. Perfumes are extremely hard to describe using words, but this one is light and happy with enough complexity to make it unique and special. I'm strongly considering buying this one!

This is very realistic huge yellow mimosa in its natural habitat. Floral sweet, fluffy, wonderful and overwhelming. But also dur to its naturalness, it feels very seasonal, great for February and March, but impossible in fall.

a beautiful sweet floral.. almost candy sweet but not quite..I don't get hay at all... it's more like sweet nectar and a tiny bit of Devon violets. One of my favourite finds of 2020 and beautiful on a sunny day.

This perfume showed me that I LOVE mimosa! This is so creamy, comforting, lovely, feminine. Like a very expensive body lotion. Ahh! On top of my wishlist she goes!

A delightful little monothematic perfume containing first rate raw materials and Italian craftsmanship. Great for floral aficionados. Can be used all year round.

Creamy, delicate floral with a softly powdery sweetness that feels like sunshine filtered through mimosa blossoms.

the powdery musk notes with the flowers especially the mimosa are perfect it is sweet and alleviating

this is probably one of the best mimosa scents ive ever smelled. absolutely amazing.

Under shade of a tree by kuroda seiki 1898

I don't know what mimosa smells like so I can't compare it to the real flower but I do smell a natural, beautiful luminous flower, she's a little dusty like the bark of a tree, lazy, sweet, yellow and sun warmed. It's a lovely natural floral scent, not synthetic at all. And then the musk takes over and the musk *is* synthetic and gives me a headache every time. It makes my eyes sting and sore, so I'm allergic to it. I am sadly sensitive to musk in perfume. I bought this despite the musk note because I love so many of Jean-Claude Ellena's Hermes creations and never have a problem with those. I'm so disappointed because I would roll like a cat in the gorgeous mimosa note but the musk kills me. In order to wear it, I can only spray it once and far from my face, like at my waist and catch delicious wafts of it every now and then.

Quiet, rounded, sweet. Very few notes and nothing complex- yet it is elegant and nostalgic. Modest vanilla, modest powder, musky flowers, a bit of green. It is not the case of barely noticeable, it is the case of noble and well-mannered yet not old-fashioned.

This is a very realistic mimosa, sweet, powdery and green, not cloying and very light. A lovely spring / summer scent, easy to wear, non offensive and absolutely reasonably priced as other Perris' fragrances.

A very pretty powdery mimosa scent. Full on pollen like aroma. Also very similar to a perfume I already own Merrigiare by Dr Vranjes so won't be purchasing a bottle.

This perfume is wonderful and delicate. Slightly sweet but kind of weak projection to some noses. Powdery and calming and uplifting.

Personal: 5/10 – It’s not offensive, but it’s far too floral for me. Mass appeal: 7.5/10 – I think most people that smell this will enjoy it, but I could see how it could be polarizing to some. Performance: 7/10 – It’s a freshie, but it has some resinous qualities in the base that will still be present even after the bright florals die down. Value: 4/10 – For the price, there are better fragrances. Uniqueness: 7/10 – Intense floral with a creamy twist, certainly different, but not the deepest. SCORE: 62/100 Full bottle buy? NO, for the price I’d rather buy almost any fragrance from Memo instead. Blind buy? NO, though it’s relatively safe, for the price I strongly encourage a sample first. Recommend? NO, I find that there are other floral bombs that are more pleasant. Date night? NO, too floral and lotion-like to feel sensual. Office safe? YES, the florals project clean and professional, but don’t overspray. Pros: Unique, and great for anyone who loves intense florals. Cons: Lacking in depth, expensive, and harder to pull off than your average fragrance. For my third review, I’m diving into the world of niche with this fragrance. It’s sweet, it’s kinda fresh, and it’s FLORAL. Though objectively this fragrance isn’t bad, it lacks depth beyond “FLOWERS,” which it shouts quite loudly. It also has a creaminess that I find hard to describe, which I often would associate with sweet lactonic vanillic undertones, but this fragrance doesn’t have any of those. It’s interesting, but not great. I cannot find a reason to purchase this fragrance aside from wanting something intensely floral, somewhat unique, and wanting to smell like an expensive lotion. Certainly unique. Certainly lovable to some. Certainly mediocre to me. *Review #3 in my fragrance journey – this fragrance I own as a decant*

This reminds me of Couer de Fleur by Miller Harris but that is a little sweeter, more vibrant and feminine compared to this. Unfortunately, that performs terribly on me so I thought this might be a better choice. A mimosa scent that would be a happy medium between the loud Amarige and Couer de Fleur. And while it is that in the performance department, I am not so happy with the scent. I'm actually surprised that I don't love this, but I find it a little flat. It almost smells like mimosa mixed with the scent of hay. Whatever that is that is creating that accord, it sucks the sweetness right out of the mimosa, making it dry and dusty. I admit the only reason I tried this was because it was a fragrance by Jean-Claude Ellena, and because I am totally, head over heels in love with his other scent from the same brand, Jasmin de Pays. I also fell hard for Un Jardin Sur Le Toit which he created for Hermès. But while I am crazy about the above-mentioned scents, this one is a bit of a disappointment. I know it is just my personal preference, but I like mimosa to reveal its natural sweetness as it is allowed to do in Couer de Fleur and Amarige. This takes a dry, powdery, pollen route, that while not bad does not immerse me in the full, deliciously sweet mimosa experience. So, at this point, it looks like I'll be sticking to the extravagant lady, Amarige, for that.

شروعی گلی و تلخ که تداعی کننده ی سبزی و تازگی هست مثل بوی بهار نارنج که هم تلخ و گس هست و هم تازه و سبز! در ادامه کمی از این حالت کاسته میشه و به مشکی و پودری شدن اش اضافه میشه. دگرگونی خاصی نداره اما از فضای اولیه اش فاصله می گیره و کمی تکراری میشه. تست اش جالب خواهد بود اما برای باتل خریدن باید خیلی شیفته اش بشید. ******************** scent:6.5/10 longevity:7.5/10 sillage:7/10 purchase value:4/10 ********** overall:6.3/10

To me it's better suited for cooler weather. When it's warm outside it's way too sweet for me. Winter air gives it this realistic mimosa smell.

Îmi pare foarte rău dar eu nu primesc decât niște efluvii amare, indolice - aproape cu iz de fecale! Groaznic! L-am cumpărat blind, pentru că nu am avut unde să-l testez. Am sperat să-mi placă, pentru că îmi doream mult un parfum cu mimoza! N-a fost să fie!

مثل بوی کوهستان دشتی از طراوت یک نمایش نفیس و بی نقص از میموزا میموزا پریس مونته کارلو یکی از بهترین و زیبا ترین عطرهایی هست که بوی گل میموزا رو به نمایش میگذاره . بعد از اون شاهکاره جزمین د پی که ژان کلود النا با پریس مونته کارلو همکاری داشت انتظارات آدمی برای این عطر هم بالا می‌ره . اما دریغ ... میموزا تنرون در شروع شگفت انگیزه چنان طراوت و عیار بالایی از نمایش گل میموزا داره که جز تحسین چیزی به ذهنم خطور نمیکنه . استارتی پررنگ و لعاب از میموزا با شبیه ترین حالت به گل طبیعی . انگار ی دسته بزرگ گل میموزا رو جلوی صورت دارید و گرده های زرد رنگ گل صورتتون رو مخملی کرده . گل میموزا .برگ بنفشه . وانیل . موسک . الدیید . در شروع شما رو عاشق می‌کنه . اما صد حیف و هزار افسوس که این شروع بی نظیر حتی یک ربع هم دوام نداره . طروات و رطوبت بوی برگ بنفشه با حس خیار مانند و درخشندگی بوی گل میموزا بسرعت به فنا می‌ره . تو قلب عطر موسک نمود بیشتری پیدا می‌کنه و بوی گل‌های سفید واضحتر میشه و الدیید نمایش پودری داره . مثل بوی پودر نوزاد جانسون . رایحه عطر قشنگه ولی سرعت زوال و طراوت بسیار بالاست . اتفاقی که تو عطر جزمین د پی ساعتها پایداره . درای دوان میموزا تنرون ی آکورد فلورال بی رمق و لاجون میشه . رو این عطر فقط میشه نیم ساعت حساب باز کرد . کیفییت عطر خارق العادست حداقل در شروع . پرفورمنس اصلا مطلوب نیست بعد از نیم ساعت اسکین سنت میشه وبعد از یکساعت زوال کامل عطر شکل میگیره . اگه از بوی گل میموزا با وضوح بالا لذت میبرید . این عطر حتی شده برای نیم ساعت چنان شعفی در شما ایجاد می‌کنه که قبلا تو هیچ عطری این‌چنین میموزا واقع گرایانه ساخته و پرداخته نشده بود .

I love this. Pollen-dusty, luminous mimosa and vegetal hawthorn combining - yes, this smells like a gloriously true mimosa to me, but it also smells of sun-warmed spring meadow, not-quite-dry floral hay, and summer hedgerow. It's balanced & lively enough not to feel 'faded' but the quiet range, dusty florals/grasses & lack of sweetness are very naturalistic, i.e. not in the genre of mainstream perfumery, and might read as dated to some. Compared to Une Fleur de Cassie this is less complex & perfumey, more of a soli-note (also more wearable); compared to Belle de Grasse the overall effect is less verdant & the dry-down is much more consistent (BdG dries down to a rather screechy generic fresh vibe). Longevity is good, sillage modest - which allows me to overspray lavishly without suffocating family members: my sample's now empty.

Male review I love this sent it's quite unique, the best way I can describe this sent is if you've ever walked through a wood in early spring and brush against the early budding trees this is that sent ,like a romantic frolic in spring woods lol Wish hadn't seem the mainly female sent reviews or I'd wear it my self I will keep it as a bedroom pillow sent though

This scent reminds me of a classy feminine hand cream. It’s has a clean yellow floral smell, which smells more natural. It smells like pure mimosa to me that’s been rubbed into a natural lotion. It’s a great perfume for layering and has great projection and longevity. A classy floral that is easy to wear.

I absolutely adore this scent because it is so redolent of lazy, warm summer afternoons spent playing in a field as a child, the scent of the hawthorn on the breeze, sweet flowers, hay, sunshine and happiness. This scent makes me so darned happy I could cry!

This is interesting, as for me it's more oily than powdery. I quite like it--it's a very comforting smell, with soft floral, green, and vanilla. But it has this olive oil/sunscreen quality that makes me wonder if there are a lot of salicylates in here.

Very sweet, almost creamy, natural smelling mimosa scent, it is loud in the first 20 minutes, and a low projection almost a skin scent for the next 3-4 hours. I like it very much.

This is a very clever combination. It is powdery but also energizing and fresh. There is berrylike sourness that keeps it interesting throughout the evolution. Very beautiful.

This is the best mimosa fragrance I’ve tried. Very comforting floral the is unique compared to the common florals out there. Would be an easy reach.

That’s a very photorealistic mimosa scent! Reminds me of the international women’s day a lot. Very beautiful and spring-y perfume

The top note was a good mimosa, but the body had a strong watery metallic floral scent that I personally did not like.

Warm, dried grasses, bunches of dried flowers. A very sweet hay smell. That's it really. Not much longevity.
