What do reviewers say about Mimosaique and Shalimar?

Mimosa walks a fine line between innocence and something darker. Anise keeps it honest. This is the powdery floral for people who find most yellow florals too polite.Mimosaique

Shalimar is aldehydic history bottled, but it remains surprisingly Intimate on skin. The opening feels bright, the heart powdery and romantic, and the drydown is just plain cuddly.Shalimar
