Ladies, can we puh-leeze stop with the "old lady" references? They do ALL women an injustice. Unless you plan on dying young, you too will be old someday. Anyhoos... Mitsouko is smoldering,...

I have worn Mitsouko as one of my "basic staple scents" for years & years (I am 61 so that's A LOT of years). It's a classic woodsy, fruity chyphre. My grandmother and my mother both wore it so it...

A guy bought this for me 30 years ago and I used it up, but eh...no big deal. Not really into the scent at all. Understand this is a really old scent, tho, so someone must love it...just not me.

Hello - I am new to this website and to blogs in general, so please bear with me - I have a question - and that is: has anyone noticed that Mitsouko has changed over the last 5/6 years? I have...

I know, Mitsouko is a legend, it's sophisticated, challenging, etc etc. But it's NASTY. I got a sample of the EDP and gave it a good number of hours on my skin. My experience was: first impressions...

I shouldn't like this perfume, I think. I should like something much cooler and more hip. This should make me smell like an old lady. But I really can't get enough of it! It is magical on my skin,...

I was looking for a new fall/winter fragrance and because I love chypres in general I did some research and landed upon this gem which originated in 1911. I was worried it would smell antique-y or...

Along with Chanel's Bois de Iles, this was the fragrance that took me from occassional wearer to afficionado. The gorgeous chypre always takes me surprise. I always smell the bergamot, peach,...

Im sorry I cannot figure out for the life of me why this has such cult status, it smells like a rotting apricot-scented powder to me. The powder was so strong for the first half hour or so that...

I love this scent especially in the Fall - for it conjures woodsy walks on perfect grey days wrapped in cashmere. Note: so as to wear this at work -I spray one or two spritzes into a flat cotton...

I was utterly new to the world of perfume, when I unwisely bought Mitsouko based on The Guide review. However, Mitsouko, afforded me some great (if rudimentary) lessons. First, I now know to...

It's funny to think of rating Mitsouko, because it seems widely understood to be one of the legendary scents, the one that defined the chypre. I love it, thought it took me a bit of time to...

This review is the eau de parfum, the old-style formula with oakmoss. I haven't tried the new formulation. This scent screams RICH. I love this perfume. On me, it smells like a balance of...

One of my favorite Guerlains of all times. I still cannot believe it was born in 1919 (older than my grandmother?) and still is so modern and beloved. Girls, this is pure class. Mitsouko...

I am probably the only person on the planet who likes New Mitsouko (reformulated to replace the oakmoss with treemoss) better than the old stuff. Prior to its reformulation, I found Mitsouko bitter...

After reading Luca Turin's encomium to Mitsouko I wanted to smell this. I understand that Turin is steeped in its history, which is substantial; it represents a landmark in fragrance. Now, having...
