Latte MimosaPowdery Floral Perfume Extract

Latte Mimosa by New Notes is a powdery, milky floral perfume extract, unisex. Its distinctive feature lies in the placement of its flower: mimosa is a top note, which is rare.

Genderless perfumery, exclusively in extract

New Notes is an Italian house published by HIC BEAUTY, in San Giuliano Milanese, on the outskirts of Milan. It describes itself as “a new generation of perfume extracts that transcends the codes of perfumery and breaks down role and gender boundaries,” and it lives up to the formula: its entire catalog consists of perfume extracts, without a single eau de parfum. The house does not credit any perfumer on its bottles.

An opening of bergamot and mimosa

Two ingredients, one of them in an unusual place. Bergamot provides the initial sparkle, then mimosa arrives immediately: powdery, honeyed, slightly green. It is an ephemeral flower, usually placed in the heart to make it last; here, it opens the fragrance and sets the tone from the very first second.

A heart of jasmine, ylang-ylang and iris

Jasmine and ylang-ylang bring the creamy, sun-drenched flesh of white flowers, while iris adds a cool powderiness on top. It is the iris that gives the fragrance its powdery character and prevents the bouquet from becoming cloying.

A base of sandalwood, musk and vanilla

The dry-down is short and soft. Sandalwood brings its milky creaminess, musk a skin-like effect, and vanilla a subtle roundness. The base tells no story other than that of the heart: it extends it and brings it closer to the body.

The house's approach

Mimosa is a difficult flower to make last in perfumery: its note evaporates quickly, and most compositions place it in the heart to make it last. Latte Mimosa does the opposite and places it in the top, giving the fragrance an immediately recognizable opening at the cost of a shorter start. It is a deliberate compositional choice, not a compromise. It belongs to the Contemporary Blend, the house's main collection.

For whom, and for what occasions?

For anyone seeking a soft powdery floral without the austerity of iris alone. It is a spring fragrance, wearable during the day, light and close to the skin. Latte Mimosa New Notes will appeal to those who love yellow flowers and fragrances that do not impose themselves.
