Mimosa & Cardamom Jo Malone 2015 Cologne

This was my first “big girl” perfume years ago and it has withstood the test of time - it continues to be a unique yet wearable warm spicy scent. Mimosa and Cardamom blooms beautifully in hot and humid Southeast Asian weather, with a strong and punchy opening of spices and yellow florals drying down to a creamy, soapy skin scent that retains both of the notes in the name of the perfume.

Sillage and longevity are above average for a Jo Malone, lasting about 3 - 5 hours till it becomes a comforting skin scent. Nonetheless I’d still recommend this one for its distinct and unusual scent profile while remaining a comforting and easy reach. The low projection and high wearability actually make it perfect for an office or professional setting.
