Comment: Mimosa Indigo is part of the Collection Orient
If the name is anything to go by, mimosa is supposed to be the star accord. But the brutal truth is that Mimosa Indigo is simply a buttery suede fragrance, with light woody-floral embellishments.
Alongside citrus top notes, the saffron is more acerbic than medicinal. And disregarding the creamy attributes, mainly bolstered by some vanilla and sandalwood, the florals are inconspicuous. Beyond that, the composition gradually becomes muskier over time, while increasingly exhibiting a synthetic astringency (not too dissimilar from scented hand cream).
For such an expensive fragrance, there's nothing captivating or unique about it. Both tenacity and projection are also underwhelming.
