Simple answer: No. I would say your best bet would be to find a well-composed modern chypre, like Amouage's Jubilation 25 or Le Labo's Ylang 49 or maybe even, in a funny sort of way, Etat Libre D'Orange's The Afternoon Of A Faun.<br /><br />Good luck!Persolaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192014353722036319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-7901360941289817622017-10-16T10:10:58.569+01:002017-10-16T10:10:58.569+01:00having worn mitsouko since 1969 I was horrified to...having worn mitsouko since 1969 I was horrified to learn of the reformulation! I wondered why my last purchase in 2014 was smelling peculiar- disinfectant is only way to describe it! then I read the blogs. By chance I spotted a lonesome mits bottle on a shelf in an olde worlde chemist which turned out to be real mits.lovely!!

Still do months later. It might be an aging issue though, not sure. There are quotes saying that reformulation only has been done with the EdP (e. g. monsieur guerlain).

I`m ...Hi & all the very best for this new year!<br />I`m wearing Mitsouko for years now and most enjoyed its depth and bitter-woody final stages. It also seems to me that this perfume has an ability of aging fantastically. That said, the Wasser-recreation still is one of my all-time favourites and I`m glad I got 80ml of the Extrait from a sharing.

First off...Flowergirlbee, thanks for your comment.<br /><br />First off, I'd say you really need to sample all three for yourself.<br /><br />In the Bois De Jasmin review - to which I've linked above - Victoria Frolova states that the edt is bright and citrusy, the edp is peachy and the extrait emphasises jasmine. I'm inclined to agree. As you'd expect, the edt is sharper and more Persolaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192014353722036319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-66274685100000413192014-12-18T11:04:01.294+00:002014-12-18T11:04:01.294+00:00Anna, I'd say Mitsouko has always wonderful, b...Anna, I'd say Mitsouko has always wonderful, but the current formulation really is rather special.<br /><br />When I read your comment, I wondered if there'd be grounds for returning your bottle to the shop and asking for it to be replaced with a new, superior version.
