The scent of mysterious feelings
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.

Nathalie Mitsouko perfume brings back wonderful memories, my mother in law wore this perfume and it was her scent, it was her!

Gabi This scent has a long history in my family, the only scent that I cannot do without. It is what Chanel No 5 might be for some. The Edt is lighter and safer to wear every day, and the new label is quite elegant as well.
