Guerlain Mitsouko is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Jacques Guerlain. Mitsouko opens with Citrus, Bergamot, Jasmine, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Lilac, and dries down to a base of Spicy Notes, Amber, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Guerlain's Mitsouko carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A timeless masterpiece - Mitsouko is enigmatic, mossy, and spicy, balancing ripe peach with woods and earth. It is not for the faint of heart but rewards patience with an aura of intellectual, vintage elegance.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Mitsouko's warm spicy and mossy character, with ripe peach and earthy notes, excels in cool to mild weather, making it ideal for fall and winter. It can be worn in spring for its floral undertones, but is often too rich and dense for hot summer days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The enigmatic, vintage aura and moderate projection make Mitsouko best suited for formal events and romantic evenings. Its complexity can be appreciated in creative offices, but is too opulent for sporty or ultra-casual situations.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Mitsouko Eau de Parfum is a quintessential chypre fragrance, weaving together sun-warmed peach, dusky rose, and soft jasmine atop a dense, spicy thicket of cinnamon, vetiver, patchouli, and moss. The opening is brisk and citrusy, quickly enveloped by the fragrance’s signature interplay of ripe fruit and earthy, forest-floor depths. Rich, enigmatic, and evocative of autumnal woodlands, Mitsouko lingers as a velvety veil, mysterious yet inviting, with a dignified, old-world charm that commands respect and introspection.
