Understanding the material
Mimosa is a perfumery common name that needs a more precise botanical reference on a supplier specification. IFF lists flowers and twigs for its Indian mimosa absolute and describes powdery and honey-like aspects with green and fruity nuances. Those details belong to that supplied material; other grades should be read on their own terms.
Compare mimosa with orris. Both may suggest powder, but one may feel more pollen-like and honeyed while the other feels drier or violet-like. Note the difference without treating powdery as one single smell.
