Missoni Wave by Missoni

Smells absolutely delicious at first – super citrusy and floral with a creamy, sweet undertone. Reminds me a lot of Versace Pour Homme and Allure Homme Sport, but this Missoni Wave is just a touch sweeter. The scent is exquisite, smells fantastic, and is a top-tier choice for summer.

It’s fresh, aromatic, aquatic and floral, evolving in that order. Smells great and wears well. Perfect for heat, the gym, the office or daily routine. It doesn’t shine in the cold, but it’s cheerful and youthful. Ideal for morning meetings or outdoor activities; at this price, you can always reapply when it fades after three or four hours. Indoors or at the office, it lasts seven or eight hours if you’re seated, or six if there’s movement. Highly recommended – it’s my favourite fresh scent from the collection, a hybrid between V Pour Homme and Allure Homme Sport, but fresher and less creamy than either.

A very famous Italian influencer recommended it to me, saying it was very similar to Chanel Allure Extreme. At first, I thought it didn’t last because I had to let it mature, and it is true that the citrus part resembles it a little, but it is an impossible perfume to dislike. I got it at a good price, the bottle is excellent, the cap is very magnetic, and the atomiser is one of the best I have, but far from Chanel… the intense powdery aromatic part is not noticeable. Since you apply it, it projects nothing at all, and after 3 hours, if you don’t sniff your arm with your nose, you can’t smell it. ‘Regretted’ is not the word, but do not buy it thinking it is similar to Allure because it doesn’t even reach its sole.

Missoni Wave is a good fresh fragrance guided by mandarin, while aquatic, herbal, and floral notes emerge. The dry-down is rich, in a nineties style, neat without going soapy. It is for close range, daytime, and sunny situations, for casual occasions where smelling good is enough. If someone tells you they dislike it, they have a problem with their olfactory glands. The quality and bottle design are above average. I bought it for around €25 on offer (100 ml), which is a bargain. Performance: it gives me 4 hours solid… with nuances. For sport or home, 3 sprays are enough, but not for outside; for normal life (work, informal outings), you have to reapply 10 or 12 times without fear, including double sprays and well on clothes, otherwise forget it. I say this starting from the fact that I like moderate perfumes. Don’t worry, you won’t bother anyone; on the contrary.

I consider it a fresh fragrance with a citrus and floral masculine aroma. Absolutely perfect for warm climates and with good performance. In my case, it lasts up to 6 hours with constant and solid projection. It is relatively versatile, but I would recommend it more for dates or daytime social outings, casual elegant, or semi-formal. I insist, I believe this fragrance achieves its best version on very hot days. I also find it similar to Allure Homme Sport (I prefer the scent of this one). I suggest being discreet with the sprays as it can be somewhat overwhelming despite its freshness.

Marvelous. It is fresh, marine, and modern. I find it quite original; it is not similar to Allure Homme Sport or Versace Pour Homme, although it follows the same path. Excellent option for summer.

I don’t have nor have I had Chanel Allure Home… mostly my opinion is based on its high longevity and its development, which are very extensive. In short, a good fragrance, if you don’t want to pay a fortune for the fragrance it imitates.

It sounds like a citrusy Acqua di Gio at first, but of poorer quality. Once dry, it’s slightly creamy, though barely noticeable. The good thing is it doesn’t smell of alcohol and is pleasant, but this is just water in an expensive bottle. I feel I wasted my money: I sprayed it ten times on my hoodie and an hour later, I couldn’t smell it even holding my nose close. A single spray of Azzaro Chrome Extreme on my hand drowns it out. I’m disappointed; the value for money is terribly poor – you’re paying gold for water. My batch is from March 2022 and I’m using it in a European heatwave; I can’t imagine wearing it in winter. The dry-down is almost identical to Nautica Voyage, which outshines this fragrance in projection, performance and scent overall.

Average, more of the same. It does the job and that’s all. I think the rating is exaggerated, probably due to the quality/price ratio since the price is a bargain.

Smells very good, perfect for hot spring or summer days. The only drawback is that on my skin it doesn’t last more than three hours, but as far as I can tell, that’s my fault, since it lasts quite a bit longer on most people.

Missoni Wave is citrusy, aquatic and aromatic. The opening is pleasant and very bright, reminiscent of Allure Homme Sport or Versace Pour Homme. As it dries down, it retains aquatic notes with a woody base of vetiver and patchouli. Very fresh, perfect for spring and summer. Versatile for any occasion, formal or informal, with no age limit. It’s not particularly original, bearing similarities to Chanel and Versace, but I absolutely love it. Performance is excellent, lasting over 10 hours with regular projection, which is a huge plus for me. I’d recommend buying blind if you enjoy Allure Sport or Versace Pour Homme as an excellent alternative. Personally, I’ll be stocking up.

A good fragrance, a common scent, it’s an all-rounder. I’m testing it in low temperatures and with a lot of cold, and it performs quite well, though some nuances don’t appear or develop in this chill. It sometimes reminds me of Chanel Allure Homme Sport and Versace Pour Homme from many years ago; I don’t know how they are now. Its entire life is either Chanel or Versace; it has no originality at any point. If you like those old versions and are looking for something under 100 euros, it’s a more than good purchase. Good performance.
