Which Should You Buy?
This mimosa fragrance is a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, fresh take on the floral, while others are put off by its distinctive opening notes and powdery dry down. Definitely one to sample before committing.
If Van Cleef & Arpels 'First' is your jam but you want something less extra, Hams Al Warood is your streamlined, aldehyde-free dream floral. It's chic, grown-up, and all about that rich floral glow without the fuss.
