Mitsouko
About This Fragrance
Mitsouko is a historic fruity chypre launched by Guerlain in 1919 and composed by Jacques Guerlain. Its name comes from the heroine of the novel La Bataille, and the fragrance is widely discussed as a landmark connection between peach and the chypre structure.
Scent Profile
The opening gives bergamot brightness. The heart brings peach, jasmine, and rose into a velvety floral-fruity body. The base settles into oakmoss, patchouli, vetiver, and spices, creating not a sweet peach perfume but a restrained, mossy, complex classic.
Who It's For
It suits people who enjoy classic perfumery, chypres, moss, patchouli, and autumn-winter elegance. Those seeking a light shampoo-like scent or a simple sweet peach should test it carefully on skin and wait for the drydown.
