Mitsouko Eau de Parfum

Mitsouko Eau de Parfum is a timeless, character-driven fragrance that unfolds through a sophisticated interplay of fruit, spice, and earth. It opens with bright bergamot, citrus, and jasmine, giving way to a warm, powdery core accentuated by ripe peach, cinnamon, and sweetly floral notes. The dry down reveals a deep, mossy foundation—earthy, woody, and mineral-laden—soaked in vetiver and amber. Its scent is not sweet or overtly floral, but rather a rich tapestry of dry, aromatic notes that feels both grounded and ethereal. This is an unapologetically vintage chypre with a long, modulated sillage and remarkable longevity, making it ideal for autumnal and winter wear. The fragrance feels both historical and personal—like a whispered secret, a library in a forgotten estate, or a coat worn by a bold woman in 1920s Paris. It does not seek popularity and demands a certain maturity and confidence. Some find it melancholic, galvanic, or overwhelming, while others call it life-enhancing, deeply romantic, or unforgettable. It works best on someone who is introspective and comfortable with a sense of mystery.
