About the Product
Experience the timeless appeal of Mitsouko Perfume by Guerlain, a fragrance that has captivated the senses since its launch in 1919. The fragrance is regarded as a masterpiece of Jacques Guerlain, who based his creation on Claude Farrère's book 'La Bataille.' The character Mitsouko, a stunning and enigmatic beauty, who, in turn, charms with her allure, borrows this idea from the book. The exquisiteness of this classic perfume lies in its exceptional combination of fruity chypre notes, which lend it a thoroughly sophisticated feel that has not been equaled by any other product for a century.
Fragrance Family:
Chypre Fruity
Scent Type:
Warm, spicy, and mysterious
Notes:
Mitsouko Perfume unfolds with a captivating blend of bergamot and peach as its top notes, offering a fresh and juicy introduction. The heart is a very complex combination of jasmine, pink rose, and lilac which is the reason for the floral density and warmth within the fragrance. The fragrance undergoes the process of transformation and finally, it resides in the lush and warm base of moss oak, vetiver, and cinnamon, leaving a pleasant and erogenic earthy print on the skin.
Suggested Use
For a long-lasting and mesmerizing fragrance experience, apply Mitsouko Perfume to warm pulse points such as behind the ears, base of the neck, and wrists. Allow the fragrance to mature and reveal its layers by applying on moist skin right after a shower, where the warmth and moisture will enhance its sumptuous notes. Perfect for both day and evening wear, this fragrance complements any occasion, encapsulating you in its enchanting and mysterious aura.

A completely unique perfume
A totally unique bohemian style perfume that will help compliment an adventurous mood. There is nothing like the strong chypre in any other perfume I've encountered apart from another related Guerlain perfume L'heure Blueu which also has a long lasting silage, but is gentler than this in its effect.

CHYPRESS AND LIGHT
Unusual scent at first its a mixture of chypress a touch of oakmoss and jasmine. I notice the difference now it doesn't last as long as it did way back in the 80s its disapointing but good for anytime. Good for anyone that likes woody, spicy and musk perfumes.

Beautiful chypre
This is a classic and I think very unisex. I can see a man wearing this as well as a woman. This starts out earthy in the beginning, a dry earth that has just been misted over. The spices are light, not overpowering, the peach is lush but never gourmand, this is no peach pie fragrance, this is a warm embrace from a lover that pours out his/her affection to his/her beloved. This unlike perfume unlike her older sister L'Heure Bleue is grounded, warm, sensible, yet sensual. This is a very wearable perfume even for post modern's who appreciate style, elegance and truly sensual fragrances.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Great price for this classic scent.

A Winter Wonderland Fragrance
I purchased Mitsouko EDP 4 years ago. It never really appealed to me, so I sat it on my guest bathroom countertop for guest to explore. After an unsuccessful search for an oriental-spicy-chypre Winter perfume, I revisited Mitsouko. Mmmm! Now, it is among my Fall/Winter collection to be worn whenever I want to embellish my flesh with a spicy bite of cinnamon. It is warm, aromatic, with ripened fruits that rest on a bed of oakmoss. Smells like a fantasy winter forest where peaches, roses, jasmine, and spices grow seasonally amidst oakmoss, cedar, and vetiver. A bold explosion of spices opens the fragrance to pepper, clove, cinnamon, spritely oranges, and perhaps nutmeg. It mellows to oakmoss in the dry down; retaining much of its spicy accords. I'll wear this with reds, golds, and black attire for special holiday occasions. So glad I gravitated back to Mitsouko! Sillage: Enormous 10/12; Longevity: Long-lasting 10/10.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I would not buy this or any perfume again from you company.
I began using Mitsouko 50 years ago,and it has been my "go to" perfume since the first spray. When someone said who is wearing the wonderful smelling perfume, it was me. The bottle I purchased from you looks like very week tea, the scent is gone before I walk out the door. VERY disappointing. I will not purchase from you again.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Bring Back Good Memories!
I've used Mitsouko on and off since I was in my twenties (I won't say how many years ago!) I didn't like the last bottle I got a couple of years ago - I thought they must have changed the formulation. However, the bottle I received from FragranceX smelled wonderful - just as I remembered it. Very happy with my purchase, and shipping was very prompt.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Smells great and then gone
I got my bottle of the Mitsouko EDT tester last week and have been wearing it most days since then. It smells lovely –– spicy, dry, clean, with the occasional breath of juicy peach. Comforting, warm. Only issue is it lasts for maybe an hour on my skin and then disappears. This could be my chemistry though, as it lasts quite well into the day on clothes, with a subtle sillage and delicate dry/soapy/spicy scent.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Mitsouko Tester EDT - Disappointed
I recently bought a Tester bottle of Mitsouko EDT from FragranceX as it was for my own personal use and therefore did not need the packaging etc., and the price seemed excellent value. The initial spray is lovely, but it only lasts about 1 hour at most, then its gone. It is so weak. I usually use L'heure Bleue and Shalimar and they last all day on me. Maybe it's because it's a Tester, but I won't be purchasing from FragranceX again. Very Disappointed.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

NOT THE VERSION PICTURED IN THE PHOTO NEXT TO THE ORDER BUTT
I called to make sure I would get the specific perfume pictured on the site next to the order button. I wanted the gold box older version. A man in customer service assured me I would receive what was pictured. I didn't. I got the reformulated new version in the white box. I am very upset and will not shop from fragrancex again. All they had to do was tell the truth about their products, but they didn't.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.
