Jacques Guerlain named his creation ?Mitsouko? after the name of the heroine in the bestselling novel of that time called La Bataille. Mitsouko. a beautiful married Japanese woman. secretly loves a British officer. In 1905. the Russo-Japanese war breaks out. Mitsouko awaits with dignity the outcome of the battle. nobly dominating her feelings. Jacques Guerlain had the incredible and daring idea of combining a chypre with a very fruity peach note. giving this fragrance all of its modernity.
Designed by Georges Chevalier. its bottle is underscored with graceful scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde stopper. in the form of a hollowed heart. represented a real technical feat at the time.
The original retail bottle pictured is not included and is shown solely to help you identify the fragrance.
