Reading Dandy's review of Mitsouko was indeed revealing. For years I have been trying to figure out what this fragrance was all about and how to review it, if so many have already written long essays about years before me...it becomes boring at one point...But somehow the idea came out, and I could not keep it to myself. So here it is: Mitsouko, as it is presented today, is a pin up girl from the 50's, coming alive out of a vintage calendar hung on a wall in a garage of a mechanic somewhere...she comes dressed in a yellow dress, red lipstick, shining black high heels, wearing a powdery perfume. The mechanic is under a car, full of grease and wearing a gray jumpsuit. The leaves are tied on his waist revealing a tight white dirty singlet. He is sweaty...you smell his sweat, the oil, the gasoline, her scent of peach lipstick, the powdery fragrance...
He sees her heels and slide to the side, moving away from the car. He follows his eyes up to her long beautiful legs and with a southern accent he smiles " How can I help you Ma'm?"...and before the engine gets hot...you guys take it from here, otherwise one might think this is a porn website...
