Mimosa is a flower with an unusual form. It has a warm, heady scent with coumarin notes and an anise-like sweetness. Indian mimosa tends to be rather light, with a green, airy, ethereal fragrance.
Straight from the Blue Mountains.
The 2007 harvest of Indian mimosa comes from the Tamil Nadu region of southern India and belongs to the Dealbata variety of the cultivated Acacia Decurrens Willd species. The flower grows at an altitude of 1,500 metres, above terraced tea plantations.
Why choose this flower for 2007?
Although Tamil Nadu has a tropical climate (19°C to 40°C), the region experienced unusually low temperatures and high relative humidity in 2007. The flowers were sparser and their blooming period shorter. Not only that, but the grower selected by Givenchy enhanced the harvest's quality by increasing the percentage of flowers in relation to leaves and twigs, creating a floral fragrance of extremely high quality. The 2007 harvest was used to make a rare, elegant mimosa absolute with a green, fresh character and powdery, velvety notes.
The 2007 Harvest of Indian mimosa has been used to enhance Amarige, a joyful fragrance with unforgettable radiance. Like a delicate yellow veil of airy sensuality, it embellishes the composition and envelops it in subtle splendour.
As the fragrance unfolds, the predominant sensation is one of flowing lightness, a bit like a soft melody played on a piano that fills the air with a thousand and one cascading notes.
