Mitsouko by Guerlain is an eau de parfum that opens on bergamot, citron and jasmine and settles into oakmoss, vetiver and cinnamon. It reads mostly floral and fresh on our scent profile, at a strong strength. Its least common notes on our list are peach and lilac, in the chypre fruity family. Below are the closest on our list. Similar isn't identical, so try a sample before a full bottle if you can.
