What does Le Mimosa smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. It reads feminine, with some calling it modern and others classic. It has been discontinued.

Mimosa and iris form a floral, powdery core, with peach adding a fruity sweetness and aniseed a faint spice. Sandalwood and white musk soften the flowers from behind. The green and fresh accords keep it light rather than heavy. Miller Harris Cœur de Fleur and Lolita Lempicka Mon Eau have a close profile.
