Sous Un Mimosa De Provence

At the end of winter, when the small yellow pompoms bloom over the hills of the French Riviera, the south of France dresses in sunshine. This intense eau de toilette captures that suspended moment: the promise of spring, the sweetness of summer memories and the warmth of skin caressed by light. An ode to mimosa, the emblematic flower of the Mediterranean, wrapped in the house's signature amber and musk accord.

An escape to Provence

The identity of the house is expressed here above all through mimosa, the emblematic yellow flower of the south of France, whose delicate scent evokes the French Riviera, the birthplace and first source of inspiration for the brand. Its iconic signature is also reflected in the amber and musky notes that make up this fragrance, creating a warm, soft and enveloping trail. The whole perfume plays with the balance between the depth of patchouli and the lightness of flowers: a sunny fragrance that evokes nature in Provence and the sweetness of summer.

The olfactory composition

A symbol of the mild winters of the south of France, mimosa unfolds from the very first moment and guides the entire evolution of the perfume, from the floral freshness of the top notes to the luminous warmth of the base.

Top note

• Mimosa absolute
• Violet leaves
• Hawthorn

Mimosa is recognised by its powdery, luminous note; paired with violet leaves and hawthorn, it reveals a fresh, sunny floral sensation.

Heart notes

• Patchouli essential oil
• Tonka bean absolute
• White flowers

Patchouli, tonka bean and white flowers wrap mimosa in a warm, comforting cocoon.

Base notes

• Sandalwood
• Vanilla
• Musk

Sandalwood, vanilla and musk prolong this tender, luminous trail, like a ray of sunshine in the middle of winter.

Olfactory family: floral and amber.

The art of mimosa as a raw material

A mimosa perfume is built around mimosa flower absolute. This yellow flower, native to the south of France, blooms at the end of winter, and its scent is described as powdery, honeyed and almond-like, with a slight green touch. True to the maison's parfums-matière philosophy, this creation works with mimosa as the star ingredient, within the Mediterranean universe inspired by the landscapes that saw the brand born in Juan-les-Pins in 1970.

Character, occasions and longevity

Although its floral and vanilla notes may initially appeal to women, its amber and musky base makes it a fully unisex fragrance. It can be worn daily, especially in spring and summer: luminous, soft, never overwhelming, yet always present. It offers good staying power on the skin, perceptible for several hours after application, with a subtle, elegant trail, ideal for those who want to be noticed without invading personal space.

The art of layering

Its floral, powdery balance makes it a versatile base for layering with other creations from the maison to create a unique, personal accord:

• With a patchouli, it gains woody intensity and character.
• With a rose composition, its floral dimension is amplified into a more generous accord.
• With a sensual musk, the whole is softened into a powdery, silky trail.

How to use

Spray the fragrance on your pulse points, where the skin's warmth releases and prolongs its trail.

• On the wrists
