As a symbol of femininity, the mimosa blossom is taking center stage in this fragrant Soliflore composition.
A soliflore, or a single floral aroma, is a fragrance built around the interpretation of one particular flower and not a bouquet. Although several other flowers are incorporated as well to help illuminate and support the different facets and to prolong Mimosa’s unique aroma.

The scent profile of Mimosa is bright yellow floral, sweetly honeyed, powdery, almondy with a touch of anise, soft green facets and earthy undertones.
There is something undeniably alluring about the delicate scent of Mimosa with its nostalgic quality that can make the fragrance deeply personal.

In various cultures all parts of the mimosa tree has been utilised for its medicinal benefits throughout millennia. And the fragrance of the flowers has a lovely soothing and calming effect that can help lift nervous tension, stress related fatigue and depression.

To wear Mimosa natural perfume means to bring spring into the world!

Mimosa extrait de perfume is a liquid oil based perfume in its most concentrated form with the highest percentage of natural plant extracts available, housed in a small violet glass bottle with a roller top for easy and clean application. Swipe over pulse points or other preferred area.
Apply and reapply whenever desired and needed.

Natural fragrance is by its very nature transient.
As a law of nature, a natural perfume will never stay as long on your skin as a synthetically created one. Like a blossom it opens up by the warmth of your skin where it starts its journey, like an arch – floating and evolving over time until it quietly fades away.
A natural perfume will also be more subdued and intimate and will not invade other people’s space. It is something for yourself, and those you invite to be immediately close to you.

”
I used to go to San Jeronimo
towards the port
almost asleep
when from winter
a mountain
of yellow light
a flower tower
popped up on the street and all
filled with perfume.
It was a mimosa.

–  Pablo Neruda, Mimosa

Throughout history an attar has always been used as a primary ingredient in formulating different medicines. And a rose attar is known to work directly on the heart. A universal symbol of love, passion and seduction, the rose is also a sacramental bloom with therapeutic qualities.
The woods used in our Attar are known to calm and focus the mind, balancing emotions, instilling deep inner peace and increasing awareness.

The perfume of the Indian Rosa bourgoniana is one of old rose – deep, warm, velvety and vibrant. Slightly green with hints of dewy musk and fruit notes like raspberry and apricot.
She is sultry, mysterious and gorgeous and stands out different to the other classical roses we are more familiar with. In general she is less feminine and ‘pinky sweet’, but still deeply sensuous and romantic in her old-rose way. She can swoon you with delight and carry you off to a time past and far away. 

Alabastra botanics’ Indian Rose Attar with this rare and unique variety of Rose Bourbon is equally suited to be worn by men as women. Interestingly, Rose oil has traditionally been considered a masculine scent in the Persian Golf region and during the Roman Empire men loved wearing Rose. It is only later we have associated the scent of this beautiful flower to suit the feminine spices only and given it a certain coquettish reputation.
But this is now changing.
As perfumer Geza Schoen tells us:
“When we think of roses, we need to consider the origin of the flower. The rose in times past was a symbol of power, and so of the traditional idea of man. History repeats itself, and the rose is the man’s flower once again.”

Besides, a man’s skin smells very different to a woman’s. It is more earthy and not as soft, and it will transform any natural perfume to smell more masculine. Whereas an identical botanical natural fragrance on a woman’s skin will smell more feminine.

Our Indian Rose Attar is housed in a small violet glass bottle with a roller top for easy and clean application.  Swipe over pulse points or other desired area.
Historically an attar is applied routinely throughout the day, fusing with the wearer though the permeable skin – becoming part of the person.

To chose a natural créme parfum as your personal scent is a much more intimate way of using perfume as its disposition is of a different nature than a ‘normal’ synthetic commercially bought perfume. Being more gentle, yet complex with delicate nuances and intriguing personality, it never overwhelms the user, nor the the habitat around.
A natural perfume pomade wears close to the skin where it gracefully evolves and matures over time by the heat of the body, subtly changing, and gradually dissipating.

Create your own intimate and mysterious aromatic sphere by applying one of our créme parfumes to your skin, and let the precious natural oils blend with your own body’s aroma. The particular scent induced will be your own individual and personal fragrance, exclusively yours as the botanical oils engagement and interaction will uniquely vary from person to person.

Apply when desired and reapply whenever needed.
