Product description
Product code: 46131525
For almost two centuries, Guerlain has been a story of fragrance and beauty, legacy and creation, daring and exploration, heritage and the future. Our roots enrich the present and inspire the future.
With more than 1,100 fragrances created since 1828 by five generations of perfumers, our heritage is unique. The Legendary fragrance collection pays tribute to this exceptional heritage.
Mitsouko is part of Guerlain’s Legendary fragrance collection. A collection made of emblematic fragrances, composed for more than a century by 5 generations of Perfumers. These mythical pioneer perfumes compose a unique olfactive library, that the Maison Guerlain endeavours to preserve.
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.
Designed by Georges Chevalier, its iconic 'inverted heart' bottle is underscored with graceful scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde stopper, in the form of a hollowed heart, evokes the delicate romanticism of this perfumery masterpiece and represented a real technical feat at the time.
