Green Mimosa
Molinard’s Mimosa is crisp like a brisk March wind and green like first buds on the trees. I think about this scent as a bouquet of mimosa outside on a cold day of spring. The woody and green notes overpower the sweet sunny mimosa at first but then the scent settles into a slightly sweet woody base. There is a vintage feel to the fragrance, which I do not mind at all.
I smell the woody and green notes at first. The mimosa note shyly peaks through the strong green notes. Mimosa is only slightly sweet in the heart notes balanced by a layer of ylang-ylang and sandalwood. In the base, the iris note becomes more noticeable bringing slight powdery touch to the scent. Mimosa scent becomes slightly sweeter and more prominent towards the base too. The scent has average sillage and longevity. The dry down is very light on my skin.
I do prefer my mimosa scents tender and natural with a gentle sunny sweetness like in Mimosa pour Moi.
Molinard’s Mimosa has a brisk sharpness to it that at times I find to be too much for my tastes. But if you like green, vintage type scents, perhaps you will find this mimosa interpretation worthy of your attention.
