Guerlain MITSOUKO Eau de Toilette

The mystery fragrance

Mitsouko is part of Guerlain's Legendary Fragrances collection. A collection made up of emblematic fragrances, composed for over a century by 5 generations of Perfumers. Mythical perfumes, profoundly innovative for their time, that make up a unique olfactory library, an incomparable and unequalled treasure that the House of Guerlain is committed to perpetuating.

It was in homage to the heroine of the novel La Bataille, which was a great success at the time, that Jacques Guerlain named his creation Mitsouko. A beautiful Japanese bride, Mitsouko secretly loved a British officer. In 1905, the Russo-Japanese war broke out. Dominating her feelings with nobility, Mitsouko awaits the outcome of the battle with dignity.

Jacques Guerlain's incredible idea, which gives this perfume all its modernity, is to have dared to combine a chypre with a note as fruity as peach.

Designed by George Chevalier, its mythical "inverted heart" bottle is highlighted by graceful Art Nouveau scrolls. A true technical feat, its avant-garde cap in the shape of a hollowed-out heart evokes the delicate romanticism of this monument to perfumery.
Chypre Fruité.
Mysterious, balanced, velvety.

A masterpiece of balance and originality, Mitsouko combines a fruity peach note with jasmine and may rose flowers. The fragrance's mysterious base combines spicy notes with those of undergrowth and vetiver.
