| With Mitsouko, Jacques Guerlain pays homage to the heroine of the novel La Bataille, which was an extraordinary success at the time. Mitsouko, a beautiful Japanese bride, secretly loves a British officer. In 1905, the Russo-Japanese conflict breaks out. The woman awaits the outcome of the battle with dignity, nobly controlling the feelings that agitate her. Jacques's exceptional and audacious idea Guerlain was to combine a chypre with the decidedly marked note of peach, giving this perfume its characteristic modern touch. Designed by Georges Chevalier, the bottle is embellished with delicate Art Nouveau scrolls. The avant-garde cap, in the shape of a hollow heart, represented a true technical feat at the time. | | Manufacturer | | Security | | With Mitsouko, Jacques Guerlain pays homage to the heroine of the novel La Bataille, which was an extraordinary success at the time.
