Mitsouko Extract

by Jacques Guerlain

Guerlain Mitsouko Extract is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 1919, created by Jacques Guerlain. Mitsouko Extract opens with Citrus, Rose, Jasmine, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Lilac, Ylang-Ylang, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Amber, Cinnamon, and Vetiver. Guerlain's Mitsouko Extract carries an Acquired verdict, a earthy-led wear.

Prepare yourself, because Mitsouko Extrait isn't just a perfume; it's a profound experience. This is a masterful, timeless chypre that demands respect and might just make you question every other fragrance you've ever loved. Not for the faint of heart, it's a love-it-or-hate-it icon that inspires almost religious devotion.

About

Mitsouko Extrait opens with a flicker of citrus, quickly giving way to a rich, jammy peach that’s anything but sweet and innocent. Beneath this succulent fruit, a majestic oakmoss accord unfurls, earthy and deep, spiced with warm cinnamon and a hint of vetiver. It evolves into a complex symphony of resinous amber and subtle florals, creating a dark yet luminous aura like a forgotten forest after a storm, steeped in history and mystery.
