did anyone ever use the plants of the mimosa tree in shampoos or perfumes if not is it possible?
MATT S asked:
I wanted to know if anyone has ever heard of the mimosa tree’s plantlike flowers being used in anything like scented candles, perfume, or shampoo and if not would it be possible to do so, because i wanted to try and make someting like a shampoo or a perfume out of it, if so would anyone think it’s possible to incorperate that into something

i think yes just like the midnight mimosa of victoria’s secret…. but i don’t know if the scent comes from the mimosa tree’s flowers..
Absolutely.
The methods of distilling and enfleurage make it possible to extract the scent of almost any flower. Mimosa has been a popular scent in many very wonderful perfumes, so I would not be surprised if you were not able to find some online. A warning though, if you are going after oil, make sure to get it from a reliable producer and be prepared to spend quite a bit.
