Mimosa Acca Kappa 2004

Mimosa flowers are truly special blooms, and I like them very much. When you walk in the south in spring under the blooming trees, you are enveloped by this scent and almost intoxicated. Very strong, very present, and sweet, you almost feel like a bee drawn to the sweetness of these small, yellow, fluffy flowers.

However, I have always steered clear of mimosa fragrances until now. The Mimosa from Yves Rocher, which is very close to the real mimosa scent, I had to give away because it was too much for me. I can only smell the tree as long as I walk underneath it. But I had that scent on me all day, and it regularly made me feel nauseous.

When Eternity offered me the Acca Kappa Mimosa, saying that I would surely like it, I did not hesitate. I trust her, and she recognized it 100% correctly. This scent is a mimosa scent for me.

The fresh opening is extremely brief, and the bergamot as well as the citrus fruits have not the slightest chance to present their own scent. They have to settle for a hint of freshness, which they also keep quite short. The mimosa immediately takes the lead.

However, after just a few minutes, heliotrope and almond join in, turning the fragrance into a cozy, comforting, addictive composition. I smell a slight hint of tea. Freshly brewed, wonderful Darjeeling with its comforting aroma.

As the sandalwood comes in, the scent has already fully developed on the skin. The sandalwood then takes a bit of the sweetness away and makes it even cozier. I couldn't stop sniffing it. Beautiful.

However, it is a very close, very intimate scent. Not a room-filler like the Mimosa from Yves Rocher, but a warm, soft, romantic cuddle scent. Lovely in spring and lovely in summer, but absolutely wonderful in autumn and winter - as I said, perfect for cuddling.

The longevity is quite remarkable despite its softness. Even after 8 hours, the scent is still perceptible on the skin. Faint and light, but still so beautiful.
