EVENT 1 of 2 // BULGARIA IN SCENT + MEET THE PERFUMER

As Shy Mimosa celebrates its 10 year anniversary, this two-date event feels especially close to the our hearts.

Shy Mimosa’s owner Maria, a native Bulgarian, has long been searching for a Bulgarian fragrance brand that truly reflects the beauty, soul, and heritage of her homeland.

When she discovered RoseOverdose, the excitement was even more meaningful — not only because its founder, Silvia Yonkova, is also Bulgarian, but because of Silvia’s remarkable roots as a descendant of rose growers from Bulgaria’s legendary Rose Valley, in the town of Kazanlak.

Shy Mimosa is delighted to finally bring this long-held dream to life and is honoured to welcome Silvia in person for two intimate afternoons dedicated to her fragrance collection, Olfactive Bulgaria.

A celebration of Bulgaria’s aromatic heritage, this stunning collection captures the spirit of the landscape — where locally sourced natural ingredients meet contemporary perfume artistry.

Guests are invited to step into Silvia’s world and experience her fragrances as they were meant to be discovered.

During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to:

- Meet the perfumer and hear the story behind her heritage
- Explore the collection guided personally by Silvia
- Discover exquisite natural ingredients sourced from Bulgaria — including rose, linden, lavender, and tobacco
Following the event, the collection will remain available to test and purchase in-store
