The perfume of mystery. Her name was Mitsouko. It means 'mystery', a mystery of tenderness & softness. She is this enigmatic, disarming & determined woman who accepts her destiny with the courage of the greatest heroines in literature. A masterpiece of balance, this mysterious perfume is made from spices & wood with subtly fruity accents. Its tonality is warm & sensual, it makes its presence known softly & embarks on a long story... One look at the Mitsouko bottle & more than ever one is struck by the modernity of its shape & the acuity of its lines. Each part that makes it up is cut in such a way as to possess its own beauty. Initially designed for L' Heure Bleue by Georges Chevalier & Baccarat, this beautifully pure bottle echoes the scrolls that are typical of Art Nouveau. The bottle's graceful arabesques faithfully illustrate. Fragrance Description. Fruity chypre Mysterious, Balanced, Velvety. A masterpiece of balance & originality, Mitsouko marries a fruity note of peach with jasmine flowers & May rose. The mysterious dry-down of the fragrance blends spicy notes with those of underbrush & vetiver. Perfumer's Secret. Perfume, which is also called an Extract, is the most concentrated & therefore the most faithful version of a perfume. Created to be in osmosis with the skin, an Extract creates a unique alchemy upon contact with the skin & expresses itself differently on every woman. A few drops applied on the inside of the wrists & elbows, at the base of the neck, at the roots of the hair or in the hollow of the décolleté will reveal their presence with the movements of their wearer & the passage of time without ever becoming overpowering.
