The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Le Mimosa by Goutal was launched in 2011, created by perfumers Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen. This fragrance captures the essence of mimosa flowers with a powdery, fruity, and green twist. Opening with bright green notes and anise, it transitions into the heart of mimosa and peach before settling on a musky base of iris and sandalwood. The composition is both sweet and fresh, creating a delicate balance that feels like spring in a bottle.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for optimal longevity. The green and fruity top notes are fleeting, so it's best to layer this fragrance throughout the day to maintain its delicate balance.
