Mitsouko is an homage to the heroine of 'La bataille' the novel by Claude Farrere. It is the story of an impossible passion: Mitsouko a beautiful Japanese woman and the wife of Admiral Togo is secretly loved by a British officer. In 1905 when war breaks out between Russia and Japan Mitsouko awaits with dignity the outcome of the battle nobly overcoming her feelings. The bottle is identical to that of L'Heure Bleue. It is said that the two bottles open and close the period between the beginning and the end of the war.
