Mitsouko belongs to Guerlain's Les Légendaires fragrance collection. This collection of emblematic fragrances has been created over a century by five generations of perfumers. These legendary, groundbreaking perfumes form a unique fragrance library, which the House of Guerlain preserves with great dedication. Jacques Guerlain named his creation "Mitsouko" after the heroine of the bestselling novel of the time, "The Battle." Mitsouko, a beautiful, married Japanese woman, secretly loves a British officer. In 1905, the Russo-Japanese War breaks out. Mitsouko awaits the outcome of the battle with dignity and bears her feelings with grace. Jacques Guerlain had the incredible and bold idea of combining a chypre fragrance with a fruity peach note, thus giving this scent its modern style. The iconic inverted heart-shaped bottle, designed by Georges Chevalier, is adorned with graceful flourishes typical of Art Nouveau. The avant-garde, hollowed-out heart-shaped cap evokes the delicate romance of this perfumery masterpiece—a true technical achievement of its time. Mitsouko, a masterpiece of balance and originality, blends a fruity peach note with jasmine blossom and May rose. The fragrance's mysterious base note combines spices with undergrowth and vetiver. Mitsouko pioneered the use of peach in perfumery. Mitsouko underscores the innovative spirit of its creators and is the first fruity chypre fragrance in the world of perfumes, following other chypre fragrances from Guerlain.
