Mitsouko

The archetypal fruity chypre: a velvety peach resting on oakmoss. A century later, it is still the reference all chypres are compared to.

Rive Gauche

Aldehydes and rose over a powdery base of wood and moss. The ready-to-wear perfume, made to be worn daily rather than saved for big evenings.
