Mimosa Absolute Oil
Mimosa Absolute Oil has a soft, sweet floral aroma with gentle honeyed notes and a warm woody undertone. The scent develops slowly and sits mainly in the base of blends, where it adds roundness, warmth and a subtle floral depth rather than immediate lift.

Typical Uses of Mimosa Absolute Oil
Mimosa Absolute Oil is used mainly as a professional perfumery and formulation material. It is not a general-purpose aromatic oil.
Common uses include:
Perfumery and fine fragrance compositions as a soft floral base note
Cosmetic scenting in oils, balms, creams and solid perfumes
Aromatic blending where warmth, roundness and gentle floral depth are needed
Craft and artisan products such as candles and soaps at low concentrations
This material is normally used as a supporting base note rather than a dominant aroma.
Handling and Working Dilution
Mimosa Absolute Oil is naturally very thick and may be semi-solid. Gentle warming in the hands can help soften the material if needed.
For most formulation work, preparing a further working dilution of around 1% in perfumer’s alcohol or a suitable carrier oil allows precise dosing in blends.
Dilution Guidance for Mimosa Absolute
Typical usage ranges are:
Perfumery and aromatic blends: 0.1–1%
Cosmetic products such as creams, oils and balms: 0.05–0.3%
Candles and soaps: usually below 1%, depending on the formulation
It is not used neat on the skin. Patch testing is required before topical application.
