Mimosa

Sugar-spun pom-poms, bushy and fluffy like otherworldly candies, brimming with the aroma of childhood and of a mother’s soft embrace. Mimosa is a miracle of nature, a tree with a unique appearance and a scent like no other. Although you may have frequently seen the yellow little balls sprouting from a leafy green branch in many a florist shop, these “mimosa” posies are not true mimosa, they’re acacias, the plant from which the essence of cassie is rendered. True mimosas do not have yellow blossoms, though the two are relatives in a common clan.
