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.

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...

Guerlain of Paris perfumes are world famous - not only for their unique scents but also for their perfumes named after famous places and stories. Certainly, a brilliant marketing technique has been making these perfumes attractive to the ear, long before the customer becomes attracted to the scent.

I have been using Mitsouko for many years and it is still my favourite perfume. Spraying on Mitsouko immediately makes me feel mysterious, glamorous and sexy. It brings to mind visits to the Far East with all its colours, smells and intrigue.

Very unusual smell; long-lasting; mysterious

Quite expensive; possibly a bit heavy for daytime wear

I first dicovered this perfume aged eleven,my aunt was wearing it,she gave some to my Mum,who started to wear it regularly,whenever I could sneak a spray I would.I loved the smell ,so sophisticated and grown up I thought.

I first wore this when I was 18 and since then have had other favourite fragrances. However after a while I return to Mitsouku because it is the only one that has stood the test of time - it's still as fresh to me as the first time I wore it.

have used guerlin products for sixty years think this speaks for its self

Alluring; Draws Compliments; Great Price; Great Smell; Long Lasting

Mitsouko is a classic fragrance that is meant for a woman, not a little girl. It is subtle and elegant for anytime wear. This is a perfume that is as much at home in the boardroom and it is in the bedroom. The multi-faceted nature of the fragrance surprises as it unfolds.

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.
