GUERLAIN Mitsouko Eau de Parfum Review
GUERLAIN Les Legendaires Mitsouko is an iconic scent that needs no introduction; it was released by GUERLAIN way back in 1919 by Jacques Guerlain, a master GUERLAIN perfumer and has earned its position in the GUERLAIN Les Legendaires collection. Discover why you’ll love this fruity chypre perfume…
This Fragrance Smells Like…
Mitsouka is a fruity-floral scent with spice and earthy tones that’s stood the test of time. The full-bodied, sweet, fruity yet woody scent blends the velvety spiciness, black pepper, cardamom and sharp pink berries. It’s balanced by a juicy peach accord, giving the scent a touch of sweetness with a lasting impression of woods thanks to patchouli essence and chypre accord made up of rose, moss and bergamot.
What’s The Story Behind This Scent?
Mitsouko – which translates into ‘mystery’ in Japanese – but unlike the name, it’s no mystery why this has been a bestseller for over 100 years. It’s a timeless earthy scent with fruits, woods and spices lifted by sparkling tones.
The Mitsouko Eau de Parfum also derives its name from Claude Farrere’s novel La Bataille, where Mitsouka, the protagonist, faces a dilemma of choosing between her husband and Admiral Togo, a lover from her country’s enemy camp. Crafting this fragrance for women, perfumer Jacques Guerlain intentionally instils an androgynous quality into the Eau de Parfum. This avant-garde scent, a pioneer in the perfume industry, seamlessly combines the velvety spiciness of peach accord with the woody aroma of patchouli.
