Mimosa Leaves

Mimosa leaves add a fresh, green, and slightly sweet note to perfumes, complementing the floral scent of mimosa blossoms with their own subtle, herbaceous aroma. The scent profile of mimosa leaves is airy and natural, bringing a touch of brightness and earthiness to fragrance compositions. Used as a top or heart note, mimosa leaves lend a delicate, uplifting quality that pairs beautifully with other florals, citrus, and green notes, enhancing the overall lightness and sophistication of the fragrance.

History & Production: Mimosa plants, particularly Acacia dealbata, are native to Australia but are now cultivated in perfumery hubs like Grasse, France. While the blossoms are more commonly used for their sweet, powdery fragrance, the leaves offer a unique green facet that adds depth and freshness. The extraction process often involves steam distillation or solvent extraction to obtain the essence that captures the fresh, leafy scent. Mimosa leaves continue to be appreciated in perfumery for their ability to infuse compositions with a natural, elegant touch that evokes the beauty of spring and renewal.
