Oh my goodness. Mitsouko is 100 this year, and just look what Guerlain is doing to celebrate: a bottle decorated by the Hakuichi gilding workshop and calligraphy artist Suitou Nakatsuka. 3099 were made — surely one of them will turn up at TJ Maxx, right?? 75 ml, €650.
When you create a family of fragrances (unlike when you have children) you can predict their character because you are inventing them. You want them to form a harmonious, happy family. Because I think fragrance should be uplifting and eventually boost your self-esteem. It should give you confidence and make you happy. This is my way of looking at designing fragrances. I’m not tortured as a French poet, or like Tchaikovsky who needed to be miserable to write music. So that’s why I want to have this happy family.
