Mimosa Blueprint

Cabris, France, is world-renowned for hillsides awash with Acacia, producing what we know and love, Mimosa, the puffball flowers from the tree.

While many would assume they were native to the region, it was actually English navigator James Cook, who brought branches back from Australia for propagation.

The Blueprint for Mimosa here breaks down what gives it that soft, powdery sweet scent and how it's produced for perfumery.
