Amarige Mimosa de Grasse Millesime
by Givenchy
Amarige Mimosa de Grasse Millesime is a softer, more refined interpretation of the original Amarige, emphasizing delicate floral and fruity accords with a focus on mimosa. The initial burst features bright citrus, neroli, and violet leaf, providing a fresh, airy opening. The heart unfolds with juicy peach, melon, plum, and a radiant, powdery mimosa that dominates with elegance and restraint. Gardenia adds a subtle floral depth, while the dry down reveals warm vanilla, tonka bean, and cashmere wood—creating a softly enveloping, sweetly powdery base. The scent is perceived as light and radiant rather than heavy, with a cheerful, sunlit quality reminiscent of springtime blooms. It unfolds with quiet confidence and its most pronounced notes emerge after several hours, showing a subtle but enduring presence in both sillage and longevity.
Pros
