Thanks – I’ll have to trust my nose on Mitsouko, I guess! I look forward to other write-ups from your time in Paris.

I don’t know if Le Temps will be changed significantly or has been changed–I hope not! Mitsouko has definitely been noticeably reformulated, although some people really like the change. (Others don’t.)

Thank you for this review – I loved this scent when I tried it once! Do you really think this fragrance may be changed due to new IFRA rules? What others do you think may be changed? Has Mitsouko been changed in recent years? I would so appreciate more information on this!

You’re giving me hope, great!
So far I know Paris artwise, but with your posts I got lots of inspiration to explore the perfume capital – thanks!

I haven’t heard anything about there being two versions of this one. I wonder if you got a bottle from a bad batch? It’s certainly worth sniffing it again in Paris to see if it smells more like you remember from your sample. Have fun on your trip!

Hi Angela,
this is a wonderful review for a wonderful scent!
I fell in love with the mossy part especially after getting a sample last October. Months later I ordered a 30 ml flacon from luckyscent – no mosses in the ingredient list, different color, harsh opening. The narcissus note is still lovely and I still like to wear it, but where are my mosses?! Now I’m wondering: Do you think one has to go to Paris to get the real stuff? Is there already a blackmarket? Well, just kidding…
I will be staying in Paris for a few days in summer and will be trying my luck there at the source – any hints?
Anyway, I’m enjoying reading your blog so much and I always learn a lot, so thank you!!!

I cut an armload of lilacs over the weekend and put them in a vase on the fireplace, and they are wonderful. It was warm enough to open the windows, and my whole house smelled fresh and vaguely floral. A short thunderstorm Saturday afternoon added even better smells. Such a great time of year!

I think its warmth makes it something special compared to a lot of spring-like floral scents. It will be in my rotation, too!

It is a wonderful scent. Hopefully the Pope isn’t reading this, though.
