Guerlain Mitsouko Extract is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 1919, created by Jacques Guerlain. Mitsouko Extract 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 Extract carries an Acquired verdict, an 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.
