Which Should You Buy?
Mitsouko is a divisive classic, either a masterful, mysterious ode to a bygone era or akin to old furniture. Its unique blend of spicy peach, oakmoss, and vetiver makes it an intense love-it-or-hate-it experience, definitely not a safe blind buy.
Divisive, vintage glam with a surprisingly modern twist. This affordable chypre offers a complex journey from a bright, aldehydic opening to a mossy, powdery drydown. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, it's a steal.
