Nevertheless, Mitsouko can be a difficult perfume for someone unaccustomed to the inky bitterness of oakmoss. An integral component of a chypre style of fragrances, moss lends a beautiful bittersweet sensation. Like other grand parfums of its era, Mitsouko is also a temperamental creature.

This EDP does not last even for 2 hours. No matter what I did - spraying it on well hydrated skin, on clothes, on skin prepared with Vaselline, on my 6 yo son....nothing helped. In 2 hours it was COMPLETELY gone. An EDT from Avon lasts longer.

Great Smell

Doesn't Hold; Too Weak

I've worn Mitsouko for over 20 years and have received literally hundreds of compliments on it. Because it is so unusual, and usually difficult to find in stores, it has become my 'signature' fragrance. I 'm so glad to find it here because the last time I bought it was in Capri, Italy.

There isn't much more to add to what has been said. We know it's significance. It has it's place in history of perfume, it's been called the best of all time etc. It's oakmoss and peach and rose and many other things, it's like a secluded garden in a forest full of flowers, with the smell of rain...

I stayed away from this scent, on the forums it was all about how Mitsouko wasn't an easy one to love. I also don't like peach, or so I thought. A lot of peach in perfumes is the sickly sweet kind. This does not have that type of peach. All this talk of sad or melancholic fragrances..

This is such a nice scent--clean and fresh--and can be worn constantly.

I Really wanted to love Mitsouko as much as I love Shalimar and Vol de Nuit but there is a note or notes in Mitsouko that irritate me and make me nauseous, Im really bumbed as its smells amazing on a collegue.

The perfume is a classic

Elegant; Great Smell; Great Value; Sensual

There are NO cons

Bought for my Mum. Classic. I also buy her Shalimar and it suits her. I wear the classic men's range, Vetiver, Heritage and Habit Rouge.

This is a subtle, sensuous, warm perfume. Not as sickly as Shalimar. More grown up. If Channel 5 suits you this will as well. The price reflects the quality. The scent lasts and changes, as all proper perfumes should, as it is worn.
