Guerlain Mitsouko EDP 75ml

Guerlain Mitsouko perfume was created in 1919 and continues to gather supporters and momentum as one of the greatest fragrances of all time. Top notes include bergamot, mandarin and neroli, while the centre divulges rose, jasmine, peach, aldehyde and clove. These are layered over oak moss, labdanum, patchouli, vetiver and cinnamon.

In 1919, Europe was fascinated by Japan and the culture of the Far East. This was the moment when Jacques Guerlain named his new fragrance Mitsouko. Mitsouko means "mystery" in Japanese and symbolises passionate and mysterious femininity. Jacques Guerlain named his creation “Mitsouko” after the name of the heroine in the bestselling novel of that time called La Bataille. Mitsouko, a beautiful married Japanese woman, secretly loves a British officer. In 1905, the Russo-Japanese war breaks out. Mitsouko awaits with dignity the outcome of the battle, nobly dominating her feelings.

Jacques Guerlain had the incredible and daring idea of combining a chypre with a very fruity peach note, giving this fragrance all of its modernity. Mitsouko was supposed to be given by returning soldiers to their sweethearts, as a token of their love and a new beginnings, a mounmental fragrance in terms of both concept and composition.
