What does Modest Mimosa smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin while lasting through the day. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, and its airy build suits everyday wear.

The opening pairs carrot and neroli for a cool, slightly green start. The heart of violet and mimosa brings a powdery floral softness. In the base, musk, salty notes and white leather settle into a clean, soft, faintly synthetic finish. Clean Ultimate and Von Eusersdorff Classic Mimosa have a close profile.
