I used to go for this perfume in my college days when I felt that I had to look and fell professional particularly if I was attending an interview or going for a conference. It is my official perfume if you like. It has a musky smell that reminds one of masculinity. I particularly like the clean cut image that the packing does. There is a little cloth attachment thing on its bottle which softens the rather business like look. I also find the prices to be fairly appealing. When I got involved in perfumes, I decided to look at the actual detail of the perfumes to see whether there was something I could learn about my tastes.
The top notes are apparently bergamot and violet leaves with a hint of basil. This is rather surprising because I would not have thought that basil was a scent you would want as a perfume. It tends to remind me of Italian food. I suppose the violet and bergamot is there to counteract the violet which is absolutely fine by me, albeit rather amusing.
The middle notes are recorded as pink pepper, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg. Once again the theme of cooked Italian food is still presence so I suppose they are at least consistent. In hindsight, I now begin to feel these scents when I go via my bottle so maybe it was just a matter of me not paying attention.
The base notes are more familiar to me and they include sandalwood and vetiver with musky notes. This really does make sense to me as a perfume now when I read about the base notes. The top notes are a bit new.
I love this perfume because it just does what you need when you are meeting people on a professional basis. It does not give the impression of being flashy but makes you believe that you have an air of sophisticated confidence. It is not too brush that it gets up people’s noses but yet it is noticeable enough to make a good impression. I would heartily recommend it.

Mitsouko Perfume
Full of eastern promise this is a top notch perfume for the discerning customer. It comes in a wonderful glass bottle with the brand label clearly visible but it is the scent that makes or breaks the perfume. The husky notes of cinnamon combine with the gentle breeze of peaches to form a perfume that can be both masculine and feminine. I know that some of you will not like the ambiguity but it is all part of our metro sexual world. Nothing is quite defined in strict terms.
The perfume is packaged in very simple terms but the delivery far exceeds the promise. Perfume is always about romance. Without romance a perfume is just a set of chemicals combined to create a pleasant smell. To me that is a sterile understanding of perfume. Perfume is there to love you and be loved. It is supposed to be poetic and sweet. Mitsouko does this and much more besides. It is a combination of soft and hard, gently and forceful, direct and suggestive, seductive and elusive. In other words this is a wonderful addition to your perfume cabinet.
What I particularly like is the lack of celebrities in site. I have to admit that I am not entirely convinced by perfumes that are marketed by celebrities who may not even use them. Mitsouko is not in that category. It is a perfume that stands on its own two feet and makes a statement about what it wants and what it offers.
The product scent can be accessed via various peripheral items such as shampoo, soap, makeup and other bathroom accessories. To me this perfume is not so much about brand as it is about the high quality of the product. I would therefore urge you to try this perfume and see what it can do for you. Please feel free to visit the blog and leave your comments. I will try and see if I can read them and respond where appropriate. I do not mind if you disagree with my review so don’t be shy. Speak you mind and let us know what you think.
