Guerlain Mitsouko is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1919, created by Jacques Guerlain. Mitsouko opens with Citrus, Bergamot, Rose, and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Lilac, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Spicy, Amber, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Guerlain's Mitsouko carries a Statement verdict, a mossy-led wear.

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.

About

Mitsouko opens with a bright, fleeting burst of citrus before delving into a rich, earthy heart of juicy peach and fragrant lilac. The journey settles into a deep, mossy base, where vetiver and warm spices like cinnamon entwine with amber, creating a complex, vintage aura that's both intriguing and commanding. Prepare for a dry, sophisticated scent that evokes images of ancient woodlands and spiced fruit.
