A Dry Mimosa Scent

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 another route, that while not bad, does not immerse me in the full, delicious mimosa experience. So, at this point, it looks like I'll be sticking to the extravagant lady, Amarige, for that.

fragrant light swirls

During the long months of isolation, I learned a lot about fragrances.
Previously, I had considered them only purely personal, with my experienced and the stories that told me the respective fragrance on my skin.
Now I also discovered the "noses" behind it: e.g. the gentlemen of the Guerlain fragrance dynasty and so incidentally the François Demachy, whom I hold in high esteem and who creates a variety of fragrances for Givenchy and Dior.
So I learned to recognize backgrounds and many a fragrance note, which previously seemed to me bulky or even wrong in its place of the mosaic, opened up to me.
Certainly never completely; but I learned to read and listen with my senses: I learned to experience a scent!

With this in mind, I am of course even more curious than before and also wanted to know:
What inspired Jean-Claude Ellena to create his composition "Mimosa Tanneron"; a beautiful pearl in the "Collection de Grasse" of the house of Perris Monte Carlo?

And quickly I found what I was looking for. So Albert Camus wrote to his lover, the actress Maria Casarès:
"I will take you to Tanneron, on the other side of the moor, on a day with howling wind and bright sun. The passage runs in the sky amidst an opulent landscape, with slopes fading under the mimosas. I came home with yellow spots before my eyes and a swirl of light within me."
Wide-stretched moors, crisscrossed by paths bordered with hawthorn hedges, and the yellow serenity of the mimosas - yes, that explains this earthy, radiant scent of nature that spreads quite quickly and greets me kindly.
Like a summer day in Provence, where the mistral rages around and exuberantly throws everything into disarray. Nevertheless: even these lively days should be enjoyed to the fullest and with open senses.

Not only the spicy, earthy astringency of the small yellow flower balls of the mimosa, but also their sometimes almost numbing sweetness develops quickly and greets with a radiant smile.
Hawthorn hedges are located in front of our house and during flowering at the end of April/beginning of May, their strong scent wafts into the apartments. One can escape them badly.
Especially in the state of slight decay of the white umbels, their scent always reminds me of wet diapers.
But here, as a companion through the tart living nature, they stand in bright bloom and generously distribute their spicy waves of fragrance dancing in the wind.
Something original is developing. In this overall fragrance picture is also the rose, this time not elegant and noble, but rather down-to-earth peasant, harmonious and fragrant.
Who knows who put these plants here and then forgot?
In any case, they know exactly their value in this fragrance composition.
Tart-spicy, sweet and floral, rooted in dark, vibrant earth, "Mimosa Tanneron" strives towards its goal.
A cloak of white musk warming the senses completes this fragrance walk through the little cultivated nature of Provence very skillfully.

With joy and curiosity I welcomed this bottling and followed and marveled at the wonderful evolution of its fragrant contents into something very tender and loving.
How much love and dedication may well have gone into the development of this fragrance creature?
"Mimosa Tanneron" seduces for a few hours in the sunny south of France; the not always lovely, but also tart-beautiful Provence opens here.

No everyday fragrance accommodates the classic flacon of Perris Monte Carlo, but "radiant,
fragrant light swirls"!

Refined spirit of Spring

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 young 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 love this flower-powdery scent.

A beautiful mimosa with a twist

The most beautiful mimosa perfume I have recently encountered. It is delightfully fluffy, full of life-like happy yellow mimosa flowers and cheerful lightness. But being the work of two great talents (the perfumer and the creative director) if avoids being simple and pretty for prettiness sake. Here, mimosa is combined with hawthorn and it adds a very cool modern twist to the composition. The dose of hawthorn has just enough honeyed tartness to add depth, substance and character to the perfume. I'd say a must-smell if you are into happy, airy floral fragrances.
