Guerlain - Mitsouko EDT 75ml

THE SCENT OF MYSTERIOUS FEELINGS

Mitsouko... This name that means mystery in Japanese, is also that of the heroine in Claude Farrère's novel, La Bataille. Caught between the oath she has made to her husband, the powerful Admiral Togo, and her secret love for an officer from her country’s enemy camp, Mitsouko nobly struggles against her heart’s desires. Inspired by this woman, Jacques Guerlain created this subtly androgynous, yet wildly feminine chypre. To lend it incredible modernity, the perfumer combined the fruity, velvety spiciness of peach accord with the woody scent of patchouli for the first time. This daring combination with the taste of a forbidden fruit makes Mitsouko a ground-breaking, avant-garde fragrance and the symbol of a strong femininity that dares to reveal its masculine side.
