A Mid Summer's Night Dream

Mimosa Pour Moi is a perfect Summer evening scent in my opinion. It is not a loud or sultry statement scent, but a flowery gauzy veil of sweet honeydew, jammy black current over a powdery alluring soft violet clean musk. This fragrance doesn't really fall into the "Love" category for me. But I have a solid "Like" for this one. It feels very seasonal and sheer with soft rounded edges, no sharp bit, more tanginess and definitely not too sweet. It's a romantic lovely scent with barely detectable woods in the base and it is fleeting. This definitely reminds me of Shakespeare in the Park, dragon flies, dainty sandals, chilled Prosecco and lighter than air white silky dresses. This is quite alluring and I keep going back to my sample, but yet I know it's not a full bottle situation for me. If you love sweet violet and mimosa combinations, or if you love notes like Datura and Osmanthus but want to branch out from those specific notes- this has that same kind of vibe- haunting sweet floral with uber light sillage and about 3-4 hours longevity on my skin. I really only think about this scent when I want a special Summer Evening scent, but since it is a Mid Summer's Night tonight...it is just right.

Mimosa pour Toi--bon, d'accord: pour Nous!

It just occurred to me that the bizarre trend of including personal pronouns and possessives such as "mon" in the names of perfume flankers may have begun with L'Artisan Parfumeur MIMOSA POUR MOI, launched way back in 1992! I reviewed this fragrance a couple of years ago and ultimately found it to be too light and airy--nice while it lasted but way too ephemeral for my evidently sponge-like skin. With a fresh sample, I have set out to determine whether I still feel the same, having now sampled a variety of other mimosa perfumes, including those of the houses of Annick Goutal (LE MIMOSA), Henri Bendel (RARE MIMOSA), Demeter Vintage Naturals 2009 (MIMOSA), and Bond no 9 (FASHION AVENUE).

The answer is: yes. I still feel that MIMOSA POUR MOI is not sufficiently concentrated. At times, it seems weak verging on watery. True, it smells very natural, every bit as natural as Demeter VINTAGE NATURALS 2009 MIMOSA, which over the three years since its launch has evaporated a bit, producing a pretty (in both senses) perfumey mimosa edging toward Bond no 9 FASHION AVENUE, which is definitely the most perfumey of the bunch.

So, as usual, which mimosa to select is going to turn on what one is looking for. I myself become annoyed when I cannot smell a perfume at all less than two hours after application, which is why L'Artisan Parfumeur is definitely not my favorite house, despite my appreciation of the quality of its ingredients and the calibre of its perfumers. To me, longevity and sillage are also important in a fine perfume, and MIMOSA POUR MOI, while lovely and of somewhat better heft than some creations from this house, is still too short-lived for me to take seriously enough to pursue a full bottle.

---------------
Update: I found this perfume at a great price and so picked up a bottle. I do not regret the purchase. (-;

Oui, c'est vrai!

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.

Pretty and fleeting

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 as well.

That being said, I often reach for 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 pricey bottle pretty fast.

Is it too delicate, are you too harsh

My first encounter with mimosa happened when I was a child on the examination table of my friendly, wise, old pediatrician, who surprisingly stood out in a remarkably soothing way from the God-in-white demeanor typical of that time.

To explain a little to me, his small, chronically ill patient, about my diagnosed, all-encompassing sensitive constitution, he used a little story about the mimosa. I found this highly interesting, and my mother later bought a mimosa for the windowsill, with which I played fascinating touch games ^^
Whether it had flowers, even fragrant ones, I no longer remember for sure, but I tend to think not.

My second encounter came when I was about 15 years old. I found an old, faded romance novel from 1942 in my grandmother's bookshelf with the telling title "Beloved Enemy".
This cliché-ridden, politically incorrect novel was sufficiently romantic-kitsch in its melancholic love plot that it captivated me at the time: a strapping Foreign Legionnaire in an African desert state (including military encounters with opaque, Arab cavalry) falls in love at first sight during an unfortunate chance meeting with a delicate, naturally beautiful, emotionally and erotically starved wife of a stony, cool British gentleman.

What remains with him from the first encounter is a hint of her perfume on his hand. Now he sets out to track down this scent somewhere, as he is already addicted (to scent & woman). His path leads him to the Arab merchant he trusts, Ibrahim; I quote the dialogue:

"Do you have mimosa perfume, noble Sheikh?"
"I have."
"Then bring it."
(...) Ibrahim emerged from the darkness with a bottle covered in cobwebs like a fine wine, in which a dark amber liquid shimmered. "Mimosas from Mount Carmel, desert mimosas, a scent like that spread by heavenly houris. Worth more than gold."
Ibrahim opened the bottle and quickly passed the cork by Brown's nose. It was wonderful. But nowhere near as wonderful as the magical scent that could conjure images of a young woman with a delicate face and far too dark eyes under a white hat."

Ah...!

You remember such things when the pubescent heart is already wide open to the world of scents!
Meanwhile, surprisingly, it took until my perfume time for me to get to know "mimosa perfume" - Mimosa pour Moi is my new addition after the mimosas I already knew from Yves Rocher and Annick Goutal.
_________________________________________________________________________

Artisans Mimosa opens surprisingly green and "herbaceous". A tart fruity note (blackcurrant?) mixes vigorously before the scent quickly gains a yellow sweetness. Mimosa itself is immediately present, honeydew melon spreads rapidly, and these two notes remain dominant on me throughout the scent.

The violet leaf, which I somewhat feared, keeps a low profile; at no point is the scent powdery on me or even headache-inducing. It remains in a certain way delicate-fruity-radiant, and yes, it is gentle. There can be no talk of a scent trail, but if dosed properly, the scent is certainly adequately perceptible to me. Nevertheless, it is indeed a delicate fragrance creation and certainly not a scent for lovers of powerful, vital, present, opulent perfumes.

It becomes a little sweeter, but never heavy. There is something summery, yellow about it, covering the entire seasonal spectrum from spring freshness to warm fatigue in late summer/September.

Still, this is a lovely scent on these currently dreary, cold days, giving me a little sunshine, a smile, a gently positive mood without euphoria, rather quiet and content. I caught myself earlier smiling kindly to myself despite the pre-Christmas Saturday hustle, and surprisingly many strangers smiled back. Nice!
