Mitsouko is part of Guerlain's Légendaires fragrance collection. A collection of iconic fragrances, created over more than a century by 5 generations of Perfumers. Mythical fragrances, profoundly innovative for their time, which make up a unique olfactory library, an incomparable and unrivalled treasure that the House of Guerlain is committed to preserving.

It was in tribute to the heroine of the novel La Bataille, which was a great success at the time, that Jacques Guerlain named his creation Mitsouko. Mitsouko, a beautiful married Japanese woman, is secretly in love with a British officer. In 195, the Russo-Japanese War broke out. Nobly keeping her feelings in check, Mitsouko waits with dignity for the outcome of the battle.
Jacques Guerlain's incredible idea, which gives this fragrance all its modernity, was to dare to combine a chypre with a note as fruity as peach.

Designed by George Chevalier, its bottle is adorned with graceful scrolls characteristic of Art Nouveau. A true technical feat, its avant-garde stopper is shaped like a hollow heart.
