عطر ميتسوكو أو دو بارفان 75مل عطور نسائية (75ml)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mitsouko is such an emblematic fragrance! An elegant, mature and complex chypre, a perfume that I needed to wear for days to understand and to truly appreciate, and finally, to review. This is a perfume with a limited group of fans. It is not for everyone, it is not mainstream and it is not “an everyday perfume”. It is an earthy-mossy-warm spicy chypre, so complex and so perfectly balanced into an emblematic and unique scent-zone. The opening is fizzy, rich and smooth. Ylang-ylang, rose and jasmine, blended to perfection, into a floral bubbly top. The middle, more silky and creamy, brings the peach note, aldehydic and soft. I like it so much! It is like a “balance-note” that blends all the notes into this perfect symphony. I feel that it adds a powdery touch to the perfume, as well. The base, it is so warm and spicy and comforting: cinnamon, vetiver, spices, amber and oak moss! These notes and so indulgent, so soft and they settle this fragrance so beautifully and cozy! I wouldnt consider this an evening perfume only. It can successfully be worn during the day-time, but in small quantities and only when dress-up. A tough day at the office. Lunch in a fancy place. Mitsouko is not just a fragrance. It deserves time and understanding, and moreover, appreciation. Created in a very revolutionary period in history, it brings its spirit along. It is beyond emblematic, it is decadent and self-indulgent and I believe that every perfume-connaiseur should own it. I feel that I am beyond lucky to be given the chance to try it, to have it and to appreciate it.
