by Amouage
Love Mimosa by Amouage is a bright, airy floral with a strong aquatic and powdery opening that evokes dewy mimosas, sweet pear, and soft heliotrope. The scent is predominantly yellow floral and sweet, with a noticeable watery cascalone note that some find synthetic or reminiscent of hair products. It holds impressive longevity—often lasting well into the next day—and projects with moderate to strong sillage, making it noticeable in spring and summer. The fragrance evolves into a soft, powdery, vanillic finish, with heliotrope and ylang-ylang adding depth and a slight gourmand sweetness. It is perceived as highly feminine, though some users report it feels unisex. The notes are linear and not overtly complex, with the mimosa sometimes described as muted or buried under aquatic, fruity, and powdery accords. Despite mixed opinions on realism, many find the scent uplifting, elegant, and well-suited to daytime wear in warm weather. It's praised for its performance and unique blend of freshness and sweetness, though some consider it too sweet or synthetic to wear frequently, especially on sensitive skin or in hot climates.
