Le Mimosa Annick Goutal for women

I like it in the first 20 minutes, it does remind me of the breath of spring, the mimosa is soft and smells like real green plants. However the intense peachy notes let me down a bit, which is just like peach flavored bubble gum.

Mimose is in the beginning but it is not the theme so it may not be worthy the name. A girly and casual one, a nice-to-have. I like the packaging though.

Mmmmmmmm....springtime on a grassy, windswept hillside! I love the combination of the floral notes with the grassy herbs. So in tune with natural scents that it can pick me up on any down day I'm having. It smells like springtime in a bottle-and is the next best thing to being outside! At last I have found a light scent that doesn't dissipate in 30 minutes!

very elegant luxury smell si nice so fresh but in the same time powedery soft cashmir like wonderful!!TOOOO expensive!!!!!!

I agree with you: old sweat, bitter and musky in a veeery bad way! So sad, because I love the bottle and the yellow package with dots!
Update: I've tried Le Mimosa on my skin and after the first embarassing minute - bad body odour! - it become, powdery, delicate and slightly green. I like it! I need a little time before going out with this perfume on, but after that it's beautiful.

I had the exact same reaction as Anatomyjane - old sweat! Not for me, that's for sure!

The second I smelled it I almost dropped the bottle. To me it smelled like old sweat...I couldn't make out too many flowery scents.

LE MIMOSA
ANNICK GOUTAL

This is a fragrance that enraptures me and I am wondering why, since the elements described, except the commonplace musk, does not cry out for any memory in particular, do not have that characteristic of kitchen smell that both I appreciate on a perfume. I wonder: what is it special to me in here?
Actually, the mimosa not highlights to the point of naming the perfume; at least on my skin is peach sweetened by vanilla that stands out. Yes! Peaches with cream are a dessert that sounds good, but not enough to evoke reminiscences, partly because in Brazil the beautiful peaches of Christmas’ desserts were acquired on cans (bhlé). Anise is unnoticeable to my nose and this is a scent that I can identify well in my skin, as I do in Mandragore, for example.
The Mimosa, to my experience, gives its air in the very opening, along with the other fresh and light notes, they do not endure almost time to be really felt. Shortly, emerges peach and vanilla scent, which remains throughout all the life of perfume. It is the Frutal side predominating over the floral one, what usually occurs in EDT's. It is striking that the concentration has even this ability to highlights the fruit notes. I've been searching on the site of the Maison and could check the “Le Mimosa” is produced only in this concentration. No EDP, which would have the magic of highlights Floral notes ... I’m not expert, but I dare here in a statement that an EDP would bring us the promised Mimosa.
However, as I like fruit trees, forget the Mimosa and Iris - concentrate in peach. So, I see that it is juicy, of those peaches that drops the seed without effort and has very, very fleshy. It is no longer a single peach because the sweet that emanates from it is enough to give the sweet tone to fragrance, needed little vanilla, just enough to a gourmand air. There, as I forgot the Mimosa, I could notice better the musk and sandalwood in background and these oriental elements, although more than ordinary in the art, always will bring back the memories of the years 70’s, when I was a teenager. Yes, in the years 70’s used lots and lots of musk and sandalwood incense, but never was combined the musky smell to a Peach with crystals of sugar vanille up . Slightly sweet with a little sour in the background, without being nauseating, that is my sensation. In the line of Petit Cherie, but without being equal or similar, even because we have the powdery of the Musk.
Somehow, I managed to make my trip to the kitchen and exploring the recondite scents of my memory, abstracted the name of the perfume to focus on fragrance. In this way, despite being a fan of Maison, from my point of view, the proposal of creating in her review does not refer to the creature. I don't see it as a fresh and spring aroma; the setback, I prefer to use it in the days of autumn, when the leaves are red or even falling from the trees.
With this all I mean is: although the “Le Mimosa” is not the "Garden" we all expected of it, still is a very good perfume. As for fixing (around five hours on my skin and the whole day in the hair), is the normal of a EDT, remembering that the brand Annick Goutal is not conspicuous by their highest setting; however, the quality of essences used and how to blend them produce unique fragrances that are worth using even the necessity of reapplying throughout the day. Note here: the amount of perfume applied does not compensate for the setting you want...
In most of the perfumes of the House are elegant, leave no trace, and are perceived by others when closer to us; However, in “Le Mimosa” we have to be careful because of musk, especially if for use in hair.
Finally, a former brand appreciated, on the site of Sack's Brazil, suggests mixing it to Petit Cherie, Eau de Charlotte or Vanille Exquise to accentuate the gourmand side, putting always sweeter first. (Yes, the Annick Goutal perfumes can be used combined and we can check in the website of the Maison a few suggestions how to do it).

Springtime on the cusp of summer is what Le Mimosa is, why all the negative reviews? I don’t get it, this is really good. It’s a floral fruity for grownups that showcases Mimosa, without being a ho-hum soliflore.

Le Mimosa is sweet, powdery and playful, polka dots ‘n’ all. It wears like a smile, and takes you on a frolic across the cote d’azure. Powdery mimosa meets sweet peachy peach on this fun filled girly adventure, but to say it’s all peaches and cream is an underestimation!, this little missy goes totally barnyard with an ‘Amaranthine’-like sandalwoody musky milkyness, naughty and nice.

In comparison to Candori perfume - which is until now the best mimosa fragrance out there - this one is really not very interesting, much less mimosa, too much fruity and commercial.

Il profumo ideale (non solo) per festeggiare
l'8 marzo!Primavera e solarità racchiuse in un flacone molto vezzoso

The scent of mimosa is something I'm very familiar with. I grew up on a property where this stuff bloomed everywhere. I played under it as a child and delighted in snapping off branches of the stuff, yet as I got older, it gave me dreadful hayfever.

Le Mimosa is close to the scent of my childhood, but unfortunately it has been overshadowed with syrupy peach and sugary musk. I see this fragrance as being a delightful, bright little Spring scent, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't expect more from this release.

At times this fragrance is a little powdery and honeyed. To me it doesn't smell like mimosa, instead it smells like the inside of a beehive or another flower altogether. It's pleasant and unique so to say; very sunny, bright and yellow just like mimosa blooms itself, but still to my nose, this is not mimosa.

In all honesty it's mostly peach, powder and a dash of icing sugar. It's unfortunately quite linear and predictable after a while, which leaves me a little lost as to how to describe it. It's a fragrance that's trying to follow in the footsteps of the sugary and pretty Songes, but somehow it fails to live up to its proud predecessor.

The drydown is quite musty, yet it's only then that I sense a glimmer of sweet wattle tree blooms that made me long for home. My first full-blown fragrance love, which I find reminds me of home a lot more vividly is Burberry Weekend for Women. So for fellow Australians like myself that long for that beautiful scent, Burberry Weekend might soothe some of your cravings.

Le Mimosa was unfortunately poor in terms of longevity and sillage. It's times like these that I tend to curse Annick Goutal even though nothing has come to rival it as my favourite house as of yet. I will use my Le Mimosa sample up, but I won't be buying a bottle anytime soon.

(This review is for Eau de Toilette)

After trying so many Annick Goutal scents, I was expecting Le Mimosa to be very gentle and natural mimosa. But Annick Goutal surprised me again with the decision to concentrate on rather sunny feeling of mimosa than the actual scent. After all, the main player in this scent appears to be peach to my nose. The scent is definitely tender, playful, girly and sweet but I am just not sure that this how I perceive the perfect mimosa scent.

The fuzzy and effervescent opening tingle my nose with anise and some green notes. The sweetness from the mimosa and peach is quite strong right from the start. This is much sweeter interpretation of mimosa that I am used to. The scent continues developing into the heart notes of very sweet peach and gentle mimosa. This is the most beautiful stage of the scent’s development, as it is creamy, tender and sweet nectar. The dry down goes into light sandalwood and musk. Perhaps it is my skin chemistry but it is not long lived and not very interesting on me.

The peach and mimosa combo in the heart notes is delicious but it is still very light and short-lived on my skin. It was an interesting scent to try as another perspective on mimosa but I will not be acquiring the full bottle. (My overall score – 6.5/10)

It is a very very nice smell from my test paper. Would like to buy soon. But EDT?? How long it will last?

Peaches and cucumbers, with a bit of mimosa absolute in the background. I'm a *huge* fan of real mimosa in bloom. This one is misnamed. Quite sweet and fruity and it goes into chemical/plastic territory in the drydown on my skin. The search for mimosa in a bottle continues.

To me, this one started off with sweet ripe peaches, boilt in syrup. After a while I realised that there had been a vanilla bean in the syrup, or maybe the peaches were being served with vanilla ice cream. One of my favourite desserts!
Some 6 hours later, the peaches were gone and there was mostly powder left, with faint traces of vanilla and spun sugar.
Great scent if you want to smell like a sweet little peach, but too one-dimensional for me, personally.

Have it on my wrist right now. It has a pleasant powdery element in it. When I first tried it, it was a bit offensive and sugary like a bubblegum, but after 20-30 minutes changed into a very gentle aroma. It's not an ordinary perfume.

This is one that I simply must try - the notes sound lovely (coming from Australia we call Mimosa "Wattle Tree" and it is our National Tree) - like the sound of the peach and musk - not sure about the powdery iris and anise! Will write in later when I have tried it on my skin and given it some time to soften. Just as an aside - the yellow Wattle gives my American son-in-law dreadful hayfever so guess I wouldn't want to be wearing it around him!
