Would anyone be interested in a swap? I'm in the UK. I haven't accumulated enough posts to use the swaps or sell board but I would send it out first, recorded delivery.
Thread: Mitsouko |
I bought the edt 30ml today, unsniffed as there were no testers. I love Guerlain, so I expected to enjoy this, but I HATE it. Shame I can't return it.![]()

It was sealed in cellophane, the store I got it from (Boots) doesn't accept returns or exchanges if the packaging is opened
In the UK you cannot return opened cosmetic items unless allergic reaction.
Mitsouko is a beautiful classic fragrance. BUT, she is also the bitch of all fragrances as if she does not work for you then its hell as everyone goes on about how fab she is.
Debenhams, House of Fraser, John Lewis etc all should have testers, too late for you I know.

She sure was a bitch on me! I read somewhere that some people can wear only Mitsouko OR Shalimar, I *adore* Shalimar! I managed to sell it on to a friend who loves it for a couple of pounds less than I paid. I bought YSL Cinema and Dior Hypnotic Poison instead.
No, I can wear both Shalimar and Mitsouko. But chypres work for me as do orientals my two favourite families.

Pleeeeeaaaase give Mitsy more chances. It may take awhile to appreciate her charms as the Queen of Chypres. It did for me.
Many years ago I first tried Mitsouko(early 80s) and loved on first sniff. It was only after I joined Basenotes and other perfume boards I began hearing how difficult Mitsouko can be. Honestly I was shocked, it was a 'Really!!!!'
L'Heure Bleu took awhile for me to really get, I kept sampling and nothing and then BANG one day I got the addictive narcotic vibe.
