Mimosa

Mimosa is a delicate floral note known for its soft, powdery, and subtly sweet scent with hints of green and honey-like warmth. It evokes the freshness of spring and adds a cheerful, airy quality to perfumes. The fragrance profile of mimosa is both bright and comforting, making it a popular heart note that enhances the elegance and complexity of floral compositions. Mimosa blends seamlessly with other florals, citrus, and woody notes, contributing a touch of lightness and sophistication.

History & Production: Mimosa, particularly Acacia dealbata, is native to Australia but has been cultivated in perfumery hubs like France’s Provence region for centuries. Harvesting is done in late winter or early spring when the small, golden-yellow blossoms are at their most fragrant. The essence is typically extracted through solvent extraction to produce mimosa absolute, preserving its soft and nuanced scent. Mimosa’s history in perfumery is tied to its symbolic association with renewal and joy, making it a beloved ingredient that continues to infuse fragrances with its tender, floral charm.
