Diptyque Paris – Essences Insensées (Mimosa) Eau de Parfum (The 34 Collection)
Mimosa with its golden flowers — as if orbs of sunshine — is a promise of spring’s advent.
This composition highlights the delicate and honeyed aspects of the mimosa blooms. Muted notes of rose, violets and beeswax add tenderness to this stunning perfume. A scented elixir to dispel the coldest and greyest of days.
Diptyque Paris commisioned Waltersperger, a century-old house of artisan glassmakers, to create an opulent bottle engraved with the flowers and foliage of the mimosa tree.

It did not last long but while it lasts, I was in heaven. The almond-coated mimosa is spicy and delightful, beats Jo Malone’s Mimosa by miles.

The first incantation of Mimosa was Christiane Celle’s Calypso St. Barth for me. Loved it there, and even more enchanted with 2014 Essence Insensee! Please don’t EVER discontinue this, Diptyque.
It’s a floral so uplifting it liberates you from the confines of the imagination. It projects you into a different universe of glorious possibilities. While all 3 Essence Insensees (2014, 2015, 2016) are phenomenal blends, this Mimosa creation is an absolute work of art.
For those of you observing the Perfume Pyramid: Violet is a note that I avoid. Thankfully, I’m not feeling any of it here. 🙂 If it exists, it’s so well-blended it’s neutralized. Also in agreement with reviewer lilalina, that this can be interpreted as a dry grassy scent– in a great way!

Oh, Diptyque! Every time I try to be cynical about your offerings you go and offer up something spectacular!
VERY impressed by this. The grassy notes keep this from stepping into the cloying sweetness that one might otherwise expect from a mimosa fragrance. Although I didn’t find the sillage to be massive, the longevity is there (I’m writing this the day after the initial application, and my wrist smells scrumptious).
Clearly a floral, but without falling away from being truly unisex.
Bravo, Monsieur Pellegrin!

Actually for me, this rates somewhere between like and love. Such a gorgeous, memorable scent. Normally I went for soliflore type scents, but this really captured my attention.

Essences Insensees opens with a spring bouquet of mimosa, violets and a hint of rose. Then something spicy appears in the mix and the mimosa becomes stronger. It has that dusty feel and combined with the vanilla it almost smells of sweet old books– and the mimosa makes it lovely. The drydown is a sweet and dusty mimosa with hints of vanilla and a tiny bit of beeswax.
Sillage is soft to moderate, longevity moderate.
What a surprise, it smells like spring and summer in a bottle! And oh, that bottle. It looks amazing and very classic and romantic but the sprayer is a huge pain in the hind section. You have to squeeze that thing like crazy to get a tiny spritz of juice out!
Enough about that bottle. The scent surprised me, I thought it would be much lighter. I don’t get that much heliotrope or may rose out of it after the opening. It is a light, bright and fresh scent that makes me happy. Want-list!
Edited to add: I am now the proud owner of a full bottle of this glorious scent. And I have to say the sprayer on the tester must have been busted– the new bottle has a bulb sprayer that gives out normal amounts, and it can also be locked by twisting the nozzle to be leak- and vaporize-free.

If you want to smell like green vase-water and chamomile tea, this is the (watery) scent for you. But not for me. 🙁

camomile, camomile, camomile, herbs, Provence, bliss, sunshine. All in a bottle. Absolutely beautiful creation.

This is a lovely, very natural, understated scent. Testing it was an interesting surprise, because it smells unlike anything else I’ve known so far.
It smells like a clean skin (female) – and that doesn’t say much… so how do I describe it better… like ‘mimosa and heliotrope peeking through the comforting smell of a baby oil’… strange, but true :). And then, after the drydown – I could still smell mainly the former plus the beeswax – in a pleasant way.
This is a scent that can be worn to bed, it is so gentle.

One of the best Mimosa fragrances out on the market. Smells green with a smidge of the heliotrope coming through. An elegant nicely done fragrance.

Gorgeous. Elegant and nuanced. The pink pepper marks a subtle spiciness. A perfect, understated green floral scent. LOVE. Just bought it!
