What does Velvet Mimosa Bloom smell like?

Mimosa absolute and narcissus absolute form the floral core, while neroli, mandarin orange and bergamot add a bright citrus lift. Violet leaf sharpens the green side, and the spicy and powdery accords soften the sweetness. It has been discontinued, and it reads as a gentle, floral scent throughout.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure, daily wear and the office leading the occasions. Most voters also call it feminine. Hiram Green Vivacious and Creed Fleurissimo have a close profile.
