For a fresh floral perfume, I should sensibly recommend other more reasonably priced alternatives ( Balenciaga Parisand Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mimosa Tiare), while for a mimosa fix– Frédéric Malle Une Fleur de Cassieand Guerlain Après l’Ondée. Of course, I agree with my friend that Mimosa Pour Moi is not quite satisfying. “Minimalism is fine, but at $100 a bottle I want a lasting perfume.” “What is the purpose of a perfume if it doesn’t last?” asked my mimosa loving friend. I mentioned something about the creative intent and minimalism, but she wasn’t convinced. Mimosa Pour Moi lasts about an hour on me before fading to a whisper of almond and then finally to nothing. Being light, they also don’t intimidate new fragrance wearers or invade anyone’s personal space.īut the flip side of such ethereal and delicate perfume is its evanescence. L’Artisan blends are comfortable to wear, and yet they’re different from the pack. Mimosa Pour Moi and other early L’Artisans are also great scents for people who say that they don’t like perfume (ie, detest Thierry Mugler Angel, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle or other big, tenacious fragrances). Mimosa Pour Moi was created by perfumer Anne Flipo, whose other delicate scents for L’Artisan ( Verte Violette, Ananas Fizz, La Chasse Aux Papillons) fit so well the impressionistic, naive aesthetic of the French niche house. Instinctively, I reach to brush away the pollen from my nose. The cuddly, soft impression of mimosa is created from these disparate elements shortly thereafter, and suddenly you imagine yourself holding a large bouquet of mimosa and burying your face in it. It’s effervescent and breezy, with strong hints of cucumber peel. The first inhale of Mimosa Pour Moi is a rustle of green leaves, with a soft brush of violet petals and drizzle of creamed honey. My first recommendation was L’Artisan Parfumeur Mimosa Pour Moi, because it’s the closest approximation of mimosa in full bloom. In New York, these aromatic yellow flowers are both rare and expensive (they’re usually flown in from the South of France), so she was determined to find a perfume that bottled its unusual scent of almonds and violets. I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend.I have a friend who loves mimosa so much that when I mentioned seeing cut branches at a florist shop, she didn’t hesitate to make an hour long journey to Manhattan. I guess L’Artisan would know? Fragrantica does say Jean-Claude created L’Eau D’Ambre Extreme and L’Artisan doesn’t bother.ĮGlobalBeauty has 50ml for $95 including P&HĪnnoyingly L’Artisan Parfumeur don’t ship to Australia so I can’t order from their sale. Fragrantica, on the other hand, quotes it as Jean-Francois Laporte along with Vanilia, Tubereuse and Mure & Musc in the same year. L’Artisan Parfumeur’s website says Jean-Claude Ellena created this glorious perfume. Sensual rather than sexual, I feel very comfortable, like I’ve put on a comfy pair of jeans that I know look great. Often referred to as the amber for non amber fans, I agree, no need to push yourself to love this because it’s just a delightful and elegant amber for any occasion, opera, dinner, shopping or Bar B Q. It is warm and classy, never overbearing, but keeps itself very nice. An oriental that hints at the spice road rather than embraces it and if you are looking for that harsh, burnt, markets in Asia, in your face amber extreme then pass L’Eau D’Ambre by. I do notice there is a feeling that we are about to get fruit or roses every so often, just a hint, they never arrive but I am kept guessing all day. ![]() On my skin I love the herbal/medicinal opening and think the minty, green geranium, which softens out after the initial rush and swoop, is instrumental in keeping the ambers and vanilla from getting too gourmandy throughout the life of the fragrance, though it does skirt caramel sometimes. ![]() L’Artisan Parfumeur’s L’Eau D’Ambre is created with an extremely short list of accords, amber, patchouli, vanilla and geranium. It is a sweetish, resinous and woody accord usually from benzoin, labdanum, and vanilla, then other interesting accords and notes are added to give light and shade to a fragrance. Amber fragrance has nothing to do with the Amber worn in necklaces except that it smells like wearing amber feels warm and richly exotic. On writing this I have been wearing it 7 hours and there is still a beautiful warm amber glow whispering from my skivvy. This morning as we got out of bed there was a definite chill in the air so I decided that it would be a perfect day to grab the L’Eau D’Ambre from the fragrance fridge and give it a whirl. ![]()
