Mimosa

By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens bright and sharply citric, its metallic edge slicing through cool air for the first twenty minutes. The promised mimosa arrives as a soft, pollen-dusted yellow floral that blunts the citrus without adding sweetness, creating a dry, almost straw-like heart that feels more like crushed blossoms than honeyed nectar. Cedar anchors the base with clean, pencil-shaving woods that hold the airy floral steady rather than letting it float away. On skin the composition stays linear: the bergamot simply becomes quieter while the cedar grows a touch creamier, never revealing labdanum or musk to round the edges. Projection remains polite, hovering just outside the collar for three hours before settling into a skin-scent of soft wood and faint pollen. Best worn in early spring office days when you want to smell like sunlight on dry branches rather than perfume.
