Mimosa and Cardamon by Jo Malone


Today I am wearing Mimosa and Cardamon by Jo Malone.

It’s a contradiction of aromas.  The fresh, delicate, beautiful aroma of mimosa intermingled with spicy cardamom.  There is a hint of sweetness in there too, possibly tonka or vanilla.  The perfume moves in circles as now I’m back to the floral layer again, pretty and feminine…but no, cardamom revisits and gives the perfume amore spicy masculine edge.

It’s interesting that I never feel I’m smelling a combination of cardamon and mimosa, I can always detect them as individual ingredients. My nose is leaping around between pretty floral and fresh cardamom before the sweetness reappears and the whole perfume circle starts again.


It’s a groundhog day perfume!
