The Les Légendaires collection aligns with the exceptional history of the House of Guerlain and pays homage to the legendary creations developed by five generations of perfumers since 1828. Drawing inspiration from true and imagined love stories, each fragrance is enriched with ingredients that leave a dazzling scent trail full of emotions.
Discover Mitsouko, a fragrance full of mysterious feelings.
Mitsouko... It is the name of the protagonist in Claude Farrère's novel 'La Bataille' and also means 'mystery' in Japanese. Torn between her vow to her husband, the powerful Admiral Togo, and her secret love for an officer from the enemy camp, Mitsouko bravely tries to resist her deepest desires.
With this woman as inspiration, Jacques Guerlain created a subtly androgynous, yet extremely feminine chypre fragrance. The perfumer combined the fruity and velvety herbal notes of peach with the woody scent of patchouli for the first time, for an incredibly modern result. This bold combination, playing on the concept of the forbidden fruit, makes Mitsouko an innovative and avant-garde perfume that symbolizes strong femininity, without shying away from the masculine side.
With their emblematic, gemstone-like bottles and the famous 'inverted heart' designed by Raymond Guerlain, Les Légendaires are timeless and form an eternal source of inspiration for future generations.
