From your scent profile
Guerlain Mitsouko Eau de Parfum is a floral, green chypre built on bergamot, jasmine and rose, running into peach and oakmoss, and it leans towards evenings and fall.
Skunky's take: Floral accords up front; keep it from the bees.

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It is favoured for evenings and nights out, and also gets votes for daytime and the office. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most call it feminine or classic, though a fair share find it masculine. Guerlain Nahema and Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche have a close profile.
The top holds bergamot, citrus fruits, jasmine and rose; the heart adds lilac, ylang-ylang and a fruity softness of peach. The base turns to oakmoss, vetiver, cinnamon and spices. Floral, green, spicy and powdery accords settle into an earthy, woody finish.
