The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Mimosa Indigo by Atelier Cologne was launched in 2016 as a Leather fragrance for both women and men. This composition is built around the tension between floral brightness and leather's dark, animalic depth. The opening notes of saffron and tangerine add a spicy warmth that cuts through the sweetness of mimosa and lilac, while sandalwood and vanilla create a powdery, woody base that anchors the fragrance with earthy comfort.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are enough to capture the essence of Mimosa Indigo. The spicy tangerine notes dissipate quickly, leaving the rich leather and floral heart to develop over time. Best applied close to skin rather than sprayed into the air for a more intimate experience.
