Agua Fresca de Mimosa Coriandro by Adolfo Dominguez

Arrived yesterday and I absolutely loved it. I tested it at the perfumerie before buying it along with the lotion. It lasted about 6 hours on my skin, and that mimosa note—which is my favorite—stands out so much; you’ll definitely like it. It’s revitalizing and comforting, like a hug on a spring or autumn afternoon. I recommend it, but give it a try first because it’s different from the others; I get a herbal and fresh vibe. Cheers!

Smells like pure delicacy, floral, and very soft.

I’d use it right after showering or before bed; it’s super super soft. If I compare it, it smells like the blue Nivea Latita lotion with a touch of classic Dove soap, plus a floral mimosa note. It’s creamy, and the citrus notes are barely noticeable at first. It has almost no trail or projection; it’s like a little perfume to cover your skin with a clean, creamy scent.

Super surprised! I bought the smallest size to test it, and at first, I thought I wouldn’t like it, but on my skin, I fell in love. It’s citrusy but not like the usual stuff; the mimosa, musk, and cashmere give it an elegant, powdery touch without losing its freshness. It lasts about 6 hours. It doesn’t have a strong trail; it’s noticeable up close and becomes subtle as you move away. It’s a great daily option for citrus lovers who enjoy powdery scents, perfect for gifting or any age. I’m definitely getting the larger size! 🤭

A potent citrus opening that makes you think it’s strong and invasive, but it’s not. The duration is medium, and you need to reapply if you want a trail. It lasts longer close to the skin, evolving into a powdery and fresh scent. It’s lovely for trying something different from the usual ones at an accessible price. It doesn’t go unnoticed, and people always ask about it because of its original mimosa, coriander, and wood notes. A very good option to try something new.

Citrusy, fresh, with a herbal floral base from the mimosa and a spicy hint. Great longevity, at least 6 hours. Perfect for stressful workdays; it accompanies you with its freshness and gives you a boost of energy.

Second Skin: I was looking for this to wear at home after a shower since I finished my previous bottle. I wanted something soft and light, like a second skin, and this didn’t disappoint. The longevity is short; it fades along with the sillage after 3 or 4 hours, but for its intended purpose, it seems ideal. If I need to reapply, I don’t make a fuss because it’s super affordable and the bottle comes with 120 ml, which is a lot. The sharp lemon opening dissipates quickly to give way to the florals. At home, I have an orange tree, and honestly, I smell bergamot; maybe I should try the Bergamot Fresh from this line to see how Adolfo Domínguez interprets it, or a mimosa, but I relate it more to bergamot because it’s not a sweet floral; it’s more like baby powder. Anyway, it’s relaxing, not intrusive, light, easy to wear, and perfect for the heat. It closes with a musky stage that, according to my latest reviews, is my favorite (I’m in that stage, haha). It has intimate projection, almost skin-close, super soft. I haven’t tried it outdoors or with activity yet, so I’ll update the review. It seems made for personal enjoyment, for being at home, which is where I’ll mainly use it. If used for work, I recommend keeping it in your bag because you might need to reapply. I wouldn’t use it for special occasions.

I’m in a very citrusy and fresh floral phase. I bought this EDT because I had the 4711 White Peach & Coriander, where I fell in love with that green coriander. I opted for this Fresh Water and I didn’t make a mistake; it has that exquisite note plus the mimosa, one of my favorite yellow flowers (actually, I like all yellow flowers), and besides, it’s an EDT, not a cologne, so it lasts much longer on my skin. It makes a perfect layering with Lovely by SJP or Narciso For Her EDT. Now I’m going for all of the line.

In recent years, my self-gift for my birthday has been a fragrance. This last one, I went straight for this; I had seen the ad on TV and was eager to try it. I had owned the White Rose Fresh Water, an impulsive purchase that ended up tiring me to the point of not tolerating it, so with this one, I was more careful to test it before buying. I loved it; it’s the kind of fragrance I would create if I had the opportunity; it makes me happy. I don’t like strong, invasive perfumes, and this is the exact opposite; ideal for summer for those heavy, hot days. It’s the scent of a fresh shower, a summer morning. A bit soapy and fresh at first, and as hours pass, it becomes creamier and sweeter. For me, it’s not invasive, and longevity and sillage are weak, at least on my skin. It doesn’t have the longevity of the Bergamot Fresh Water or the White Rose Fresh Water; it lives up to its name, it’s a Fresh Water.

I’m not a fan of Adolfo Domínguez fragrances, but this scent is the exception. I loved it. To me, it’s pure mimosa. I don’t feel any citrus at all, or they flew away in the first few seconds. I also don’t feel other flowers, just the mimosa and woods. It’s not a sweet perfume, and that’s why it’s original; it doesn’t overwhelm or suffocate you with synthetic citrus. It reminds me a lot of the beginning of spring when the mimosa bloomed in my father’s house. That memory made me feel happy, recalling as a child those beautiful, fragrant yellow flowers surrounded by bees. I admire and enjoy yellow and orange colors in nature. The yellow of the mimosa is a spectacle for the eyes and nose. I don’t think it will be everyone’s taste because it moves away from the conventional and sweet we are used to receiving from modern perfumery. It doesn’t have great longevity; I’d love it to be longer, but it’s acceptable for the price you pay for a large bottle. The sillage is quite large; the first day I wore it, I went for a walk and my partner, right beside me, kept praising it because the autumn wind carried it to his nose from time to time. In his mind, it also evoked childhood memories. I don’t recommend buying it blindly for the reasons I stated, but I suppose if you know mimosa, you’ll love this perfume.

I absolutely loved it! I tested it directly on my skin at the perfume counter, and it will definitely be my next purchase. I read that it smells soapy and citrusy on others, but on me, it’s nothing like that—it’s like a sweet cream with jasmine. Every skin is a different world. For the price and longevity, it seems like great quality; it lasted about 4 hours on me with a sillage I could only smell myself, so I’m not sure if others noticed since I was alone that day. It’s very original, which is a huge plus.

I tested it only once and on a cardboard strip. The first impression was of a scent much creamier than I expected and than I had imagined. It made me think, for just a moment, of Pure White Linen. But then I felt it a bit softer, more sweet floral, more powdery than before but still with that creamy effect. The next day, a certain soft sweet floral scent is still perceptible on the cardboard strip with a tiny dark touch of woods. I will surely try it again when I can, at some time when I get closer to a perfumery…

What a lovely perfume! It smells fresh, like soap, perfect for everyday wear. The mimosa adds a subtle touch of sweetness. The citrus and jasmine are perfectly balanced. It has great sillage and longevity, evolving linearly, and for the price, it’s more than worth it. It reminds me of classic perfumery, with powdery notes that evoke timelessness and innocence, without losing the typical freshness of Adolfo Domínguez.
