Floral

Mimosa absolute smells like spring sunshine captured in a bottle—honeyed and slightly powdery, with a distinctive fuzzy warmth reminiscent of warm honey mixed with crushed chalk and fresh hay. There's an animalic undertone, almost like the scent of a sun-warmed animal hide. It's sweeter than you'd expect from a flower, with a subtly bitter almond note lurking beneath. Imagine walking past a flowering mimosa tree in southern France on a warm afternoon: creamy, golden, slightly intoxicating, and deeply comforting.

Woody

Musk is the scent of warmth itself—imagine the gentle heat radiating from skin after exercise, mingled with soft suede and a whisper of vanilla. It's deeply intimate rather than floral or sharp; think of wrapping yourself in a cashmere blanket warmed by the sun, with a faint animalic undertone that's almost imperceptible. Pure musk has a powdery, almost imperceptible sweetness, like the inside of a lover's wrist or the comfort of well-loved fabric. It doesn't announce itself boldly; instead, it envelops and lingers on your skin like a second layer.
