Amouage Love Mimosa

Mostly sunny honeyed flowers like mimosa and ylang-ylang. Underneath that, cool and wet, the note most people read as sea air or rain.

It opens on cascalone, violet leaf and orris, moves through mimosa, pear and paradisone, and settles on heliotrope, ambroxan and ylang-ylang.

• violet leaf: green and dewy with a cucumber-like coolness. Nothing like the sweetness of violet flowers
• orris: iris root rather than the flower: cool, powdery and faintly earthy. One of the most expensive materials in perfumery

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
