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 Notes, Amber, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Guerlain's Mitsouko Extract carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-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.

Composition

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.

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 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.
