Vilhelm Parfumerie Modest Mimosa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jérôme Epinette. Modest Mimosa opens with Carrot and Neroli, settles into a heart of Violet and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Musk and Leather. Vilhelm Parfumerie's Modest Mimosa carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

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.

About

Modest Mimosa opens with a distinctive, almost detergent-like burst of neroli, softened slightly by a fleeting hint of carrot. The heart blooms into a powdery floral bouquet, with mimosa and violet taking centre stage. The base settles into a musky sweetness, though the promised leather note is often elusive, leaving a clean, gentle finish.
