Comments on: Guerlain ~ Mitsouko http://scentzilla.com/2006/07/17/guerlain-mitsouko/ A monster perfume habit. On a rampage... with a wanton waft of sillage in its wake.

After reading your reviews and comments on it, I went to my dresser and spritzed on four sprays of the Mitsouko edp. It's bitter cold here today in Cincinnati, a mere 2 degrees, and somehow Mitsouko fits so beautifully on a cold winter's day. I get the "deep peach note" which, to me, smells like the woody pit. It's opulence is sublime. Never a scent created that touches this one! It really conjures up for me images of old. Truly a heavenly perfume. I am not surprised this one has many fans.

I don't know what to say about that second piece of your comment. Heh! Never heard that one before either. That's wild. Wow. I don’t know what to say about that second piece of your comment. Heh!

Also tapping his fabulous brain [and he's a great hugger!]... 2) Wallis was quite the piece of work, aqccording to some sources...it was hinted that she had her swimsuits designed to disguise the presence of an appendage that gave her hermaphroditic charm. Ain't that hot? Hello,Minette!

No really, the parfum's simply lovely (I say having never smelled the edp, however, so take with the proverbial pinch o' salt.)

I try to smell the greatness, but I get only a nondescript, perfumey smell of a chypre that has turned. No bergamot,no spices, no fruit... Last time I tested it I got some oily note, possibly similar toolive oil. That surprised me, because according to what I read on MUA, a) people experienced the olive oil note in EDP and b)the edt is supposed to be superior anyway. Must get my hands on a drop of parfum.

What a fun image - how cool to associate it with a memory like that. Marina, I suppose it's just one of those Guerlains that either fits perfectly or doesn't fit at all, with no middle ground. greeneyes - bug spray? Really? Wow. I can only guess it must be the mix of the citrus top and the skank at the base that's caused such torture. Eeeek! Glad I don't get that. Iris, you know I just don't quite get deep peach. It's peach-ish, but not a real peach. Shoot, now I want to have the superpower of teleportation so I can sniff your wrist and see what that's like! Ina, heh great idea. My husband rarely deigns to wearing anything other than Pi. It has to be something real special - good luck! Heh! Robin, that's the story with me and Shalimar, too. Well, the story I think with lots of folks and certain Guerlains (and Carons, too, come to think of it.) Jenny, yup, just a bit odd, which makes it just perfect! Minette, ooooh, thanks for that detail! How cool. I'd never heard that before, neat. What a cool bit of apocrypha about her. Ayala, you have excellent taste, so I should have known it is one of your faves. :) Andy! You wild man you! Heh heh. What a lucky partner you've got! That's a fantastic description. I think your version sounds much more fun than mine! Alas, once you're a mother, there's never any disappering behind the sofa with your partner, because privacy is a foreign word to little boys who need to ask "Mom, whatcha doin'?," "Mom, I need water," "Mom? Mom? Mom!," every five minutes. Of course, with seven year olds, there's also no such thing as a well managed, cleaned up living room world either, heh!

Compositionally it is ...just perfect! It places this lovely little dirty dog in the middle of a decent living room without disturbing the elegance and solemn atmosphere. You look at the little doggy while having tea and suddenly you feel a touch of wild nature in your well managed, cleaned up, civilized living room world.... you grab your partner (if you have one, otherwise anybody else) and disappear behind the sofa....

Rumor has it that she did that and then claimed the resulting scent was something special Guerlain had whipped up just for her. Not sure if that's real history or not... but it's a fun story.
