Mitsouko Guerlain Eau de Parfum

I am wearing today my old time favorite Guerlain : both the perfume extract and the EDP. What more can be told about this masterpiece. It is unbelievable that this perfume remains "ageless", although created in 1919, this perfume remains THE reference chypre for many women & men. I admire how Thierry Wasser was able to reformulate it without damaging too much the initial DNA. I strongly recommend to buy the latest bottles. He succeeded to replace the interdiction of oakmass and kept the creamy peaches, spicy cinnamon, and cool moss notes all intact. The actual version is extremely well balanced and I recommend the EDP instead of the more citrus, watery EDT version. You cannot appreciate Mitsouko, if you dislike complex layered perfumes. You have that typical moss and refreshing bergamot notes at each end of the soectrum but there are lot of spicy accents like cinnamon, cloves and heavenly peach. That special peach note is very "Mitsouko" which is very distinctive but it also contains rose, neroli, vetiver. The candied orange/peach softens the strong, herbal aspects of Mitsouko, while the flowers are so subdued and well-blended that they become more an abstract beauty. Yes Mitsouko is not an easy perfume to appreciate or love, it still remains a mystery for lot of us but once you discover the unique beauty, it remains your very precious perfume for ever.
