Soft, powdery yellow-floral character with a green, slightly cucumber-like freshness and a waxy, honeyed undertone. Delicate and airy rather than heady, with a subtle almond-like nuance that lingers into a gentle woody-balsamic drydown.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Mimosa Concréte is a hard and wax-like, pale yellow or whitish yellow-opaque material. The absolute is a very viscous, amber-colored or yellowish liquid, similar in appearance to fresh honey.

Odor

Mimosa Concréte has a sweet-woody, fatty and deep-floral odor. The absolute has a very rich, floral-woody, slightly green odor, resembling cassie absolute to a certain degree.

Uses in perfumery

Mimosa Concréte finds application in perfumery primarily in soap perfumes where its outstanding fixative value accompanies its delicate, woody-floral, slightly green notes. The absolute is used in numerous lilac bases, violet, muguet, high-class new mown hay, colognes, ambres, etc.

Production

Mimosa Concréte is produced from the flowers and the twig-ends of Acacia Decurrens by extraction with petroleum ether. The absolute is prepared from the concréte.
