Pros & Cons
- ✅ Mitsouko my love. You are the type of perfume I keep going back to and using.
- ✅ A historic creation in the art of perfumery, an icon & a signature scent that stands the test of time.
- ✅ Changed my perfumery world when I smelled it.
- ✅ This exceeded my expectations and has started my obsession with vintage chypres.
- ✅ Mitsouko is probably the only signature perfume I will ever have.
- ❌ I got a bottle as a birthday present. I was really hoping it was a fake, but if it isn't—and after checking with Gemini and ChatGPT, it seems to be the modern version—all I can say is: what the heck, Guerlain? Where's the beautiful masterpiece I remember? It smells quite cheap, similar to a drugstore perfume from the early 2000s.
- ❌ I think this fragrance is definitely a product of it’s time... it does have an old lady quality to it. It’s quite musty, so beware
- ❌ The opening is incredibly sharp for me... Almost unwearable at first.

- ❌ very powdery... I'm not sure I’d personally classify this as a true chypre... with Mitsy I can’t seem to find a better category... great-grandmother’s cabinet.
