What does White Mimosa smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Fall draws the largest share of votes, followed by winter and spring; evening leads the occasions, with daily and leisure wear close behind. Voters tend to read it as feminine or classic.

It opens with mandarin orange and ambrette, then moves to heliotrope and white mimosa at the heart. Vanilla, iris and a chypre accord form the base. The fruity, floral start settles into something powdery, creamy and lightly woody. Kenzo ☮ by Kenzo and Jil Sander Jil (2009) have a close profile.
