Mmmm Mimosa

Walk through our shop door, close your eyes and take a deep breath.....


That fragrance that is delicately dancing up your nostrils is the beautiful Mimosa and it is one of my all time favourites!  After doing a bit of research I found out the Mimosa is actually renowned for its healing properties and is widely used in alternative medicines for its uplifting and energising effect.  That must be why it has made me feel so happy!

Spreading the Happiness...
Get some Mimosa in your life!

Mimosa stems - available during February and March at The Flower Studio £2.50 per stem (and other happy florist shops nationwide I'm sure!)  Put a few stems in a vase on your breakfast table to lift your spirits at the start of the day.

Mimosa room spray - for year round scent when the cut flowers are out of season!  Diptyque Mimosa Room Spray £34 John Lewis

Mimosa perfume - For a bit of luxury, Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Tiare Mimosa Women's Fragrance mixes the scent of Mimosa with citrus zest, vanilla and other flowery notes.

Add finally... A Mimosa Cocktail!

Ingredients:
1 part Disaronno
2 parts fresh orange juice
Champagne to top up

Method:
Pour the Disaronno into a tall champagne flute and mix in the orange juice.  Top up with chilled Champagne and garnish with a slice or two of orange.

Best served immeditely, with friends!
