Mitsouko in detail
Mitsouko Eau de Parfum is one of Guerlain's Légendaires. The house relates that Jacques Guerlain dared to pair a chypre with a very fruity peach note; the name evokes the heroine of a novel, a young Japanese woman caught in the war of 1905. The page does not give the year.
Guerlain presents three ingredients. A peach accord, created by the house's perfumers, brings a velvety fruit. Spices play on contrasts: warm black pepper, and cooler cardamom and pink berries. Earthy, woody patchouli forms the base of the chypre accord. According to the house, jasmine, rose centifolia, undergrowth notes and vetiver complete the composition.
Mitsouko is worn in autumn and winter, by day or in the evening. It is a fruity, mysterious chypre, for those who love classics.
Three niche chypres in our catalogue share some of its materials: Diaghilev by Roja Parfums brings together peach and patchouli; Eau Capitale by Diptyque pairs patchouli and pink berries; French Affair by Ex Nihilo combines pepper and patchouli.
