by Missoni
Missoni Wave is a fresh, aquatic, and aromatic fragrance that channels the iconic vibe of Chanel Allure Homme Sport and Versace Pour Homme, blending bright citrus, sea notes, and a creamy, vanilla-orchid drydown. It opens with a sharp, synthetic citrus burst that quickly softens into a smooth, aromatic marine scent with lavender, rosemary, and clary sage. The drydown offers a slightly sweet, powder-like creaminess, enhanced by vetiver and patchouli, creating a balanced, versatile scent perfect for daywear in spring and summer. While it's not groundbreaking or particularly original, it succeeds as a crowd-pleasing, budget-friendly fragrance with good value for its price. The performance varies significantly across users, with moderate longevity and projection, most often lasting around 5-8 hours on skin and longer on clothing, though some report it fading quickly within 3 hours. It delivers a clean, inoffensive, and consistent profile that appeals broadly, particularly to fans of fresh, blue aquatic scents. The sleek bottle with a magnetic cap adds to its appeal.
