The perfume of the mystery of feelings
"Mitsouko" , which means "mystery" in Japanese, is the name of the heroine of the novel The Battle, by Claude Farrère. Caught between her commitment to her husband, the powerful Admiral Togo, and her secret love for an officer on the enemy side of her homeland, Mitsouko fights the impulses of her heart with nobility. Inspired by her story, Jacques Guerlain created this subtly androgynous and wildly feminine chypre perfume. The perfumer gives it an incredible modernity by combining for the first time a fruity, velvety and spicy peach accord with the woody aromas of patchouli. A daring combination with a forbidden fruit flavor that has made Mitsouko a pioneering and avant-garde perfume , and the symbol of a bold femininity that dares to reveal its masculine side.
Mitsouko is a masterpiece of balance and originality that combines a fruity note of peach with jasmine and May rose. The mysterious base of the perfume combines spicy notes with notes of undergrowth and vetiver.
A legendary bottle
Designed by Raymond Guerlain in 1912 , its legendary "inverted heart" bottle is enhanced with elegant scrolls inspired by art nouveau. Its avant-garde cap in the shape of a hollowed heart evokes the delicate romanticism of this monument to perfumery, a true technical feat.
