Jean Claude Ellena for Perris
Mimosa arrived in French Provence in the middle of the 19th century, making its way from Australia via Hyde Park and Crystal Palace. It was the Victorians (who spent their winters in the Riviera) who launched the fashion for this elegant tree. The demand for the beautifully fragrant mimosa bloom became so great that they were planted on a commercial scale in Tanneron, a commune just above Cannes.
Perfumers started introducing mimosa as a perfume note into formulas around the 1940’s. Now, the third decade into the 21st century, mimosa and its innocent green aroma is going through a mini renaissance.
Perris again collaborated with an amazing perfume artist to create their mimosa story. Jean Claude Ellena describes his Mimosa Tanneron as an ode to tenderness, sweetness, and the sensation of love about to begin.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
It suits the unhurried intimacy of an afternoon spent together before affection has been spoken aloud. Green mimosa keeps the mood light, while the softer floral and musky notes suggest warmth without turning the encounter into a declaration.
How to wear
The gentle floral-green profile lends itself to spring and mild weather. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms for a restrained presence; warmer skin can bring the floral sweetness forward, while the white-musk base gives the composition a softer finish.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to green florals, mimosa and softly musky compositions rather than opulent bouquets or sugary sweetness. Its appeal lies in tenderness and restraint: a floral fragrance for anyone who prefers suggestion to statement.

The nose
Jean-Claude Ellena is known for lucid, economical compositions that suggest a landscape or emotion without describing every detail. His work includes Terre d’Hermès, Un Jardin sur le Nil and Cartier Déclaration, and his years as Hermès’ in-house perfumer helped establish his distinctive language of transparency and restraint. For Mimosa Tanneron, he turns that sensibility toward a tender portrait of mimosa and the first stirrings of affection.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo places ingredients and craftsmanship ahead of decorative luxury. Its approach combines attention to natural materials and extraction methods with respect for traditional perfumery and openness to technical innovation. The Les Parfums de Grasse collection expresses that philosophy through floral subjects rooted in the region’s landscape and perfume-making heritage.
Mimosa Tanneron’s concept
Created for Les Parfums de Grasse, Mimosa Tanneron takes its inspiration from the golden mimosa-covered slopes of southern France. Ellena conceived it as an ode to tenderness and emerging love, translating the flower’s gentle green character into an intimate floral composition rather than a grand bouquet.
Extra info
Despite its single-flower focus, the published notes include rose and hawthorn alongside mimosa absolute, with white musk at the base. It joined Les Parfums de Grasse alongside Lavande Romaine, following the collection’s earlier rose and jasmine portraits.
