  1. The best mimosa perfume I’ve ever tried. Farnesiana nails that note perfectly. The slightly boozy vanilla, combined with the resinous touch of opoponax, makes this floral shine above its class. The hay is very soft, delicate like a breeze, just like the violet. The heart notes are clearly mimosa, vanilla, and hints of musk. CARON delivers great olfactory spectacles, and this is one of them. This review is about the extract.
