Missoni Eau de Parfum for Women by Missoni

I first acquired this perfume as a sample when I made a purchase on another website, but I didn't really expect to like it. The fragrance notes listed struck me as being a rather peculiar mish-mash. But now I can't put the bottle down! Although there are a lot of fragrance notes listed in this perfume, it's the citrus notes that really shine. Bergamot, mandarin, bitter orange, petitgrain and persimmon are all easily detected. As a whole, this perfume smells like a bitter orange, from the outside in the rind, the pith and the fruit itself. The light bitterness is what gives this fragrance its complexity and sophistication.

This is certainly a perfume that is most appropriately worn during the day, and can easily be worn to work doubtless with lots of compliments pouring in! It is not, for me at least, a fragrance to be worn in the evening. It's a bright, happy fragrance not one that seduces or draws one in with its complexity. It's also a scent most people would associate with summer, because it isn't terribly sweet or cloying. But I have worn it this winter when I've been missing the sun.

I think this perfume will over time become a must-have for many women, much like Robert Piguet's Fracas or any of the Guerlain orientals, because it embodies its particular fragrance family so well. This is universally appealing, without losing any of its sophistication. Buy it and enjoy it. You won't be disappointed.

Very nice fragrance,can be worn everyday, not at all sweet or overpowering with florals. It is very soft and subtle in fragrance; a hint of chocolate comes through. I had tried a sample first after reading this review before buying: Luscious fruits. Exuberant florals. Tantalizing gianduia. Missoni is an irresistible weave of some of a woman's favorite indulgences. The sublime experience captures the luxe sensuality of a holiday at an Italian resort with notes of vibrant Italian bergamot, dewy rose, zesty bitter orange, addictive gianduia (a sweet chocolate containing hazelnut and almond paste), and fluid amber. I cannot tolerate a fragrance that is too sweet, too floral, or too strong...this is none of those.

This opens with chocolate on me. I've got a fresh bottle wonder if that has to something to do with the inconsistent reports of Missoni's opening. (?) Anyway, as it dries, I pick out the plastic magnolia that is characteristic of many Roucel fragrances, at least on me. The base is chocolate, woods, & nuts, and it's really good. Thankfully, I don't find Missoni as sweet and sickly as some other Roucel fragrances, such as Tocade.

Turin tags Missoni as a kaleidoscope floral. Well, with the citrus & chocolate & florals & woods, it is. In fact, I find Missoni most similar to SJP Covet in that regard. I do like Missoni better than Covet. But given the price differential, I'm not sure that a purchase of Missoni is justified. I was *lucky* to find a 30ml bottle of Missoni for about the same price as a 100ml bottle of Covet.

Unless you're a Roucel fiend, keep your money. Turin says 5*? No way. More like a solid 3*, maybe 4* on a good day after a martini. Missoni was developed in conjunction with Estee Lauder given Turin's love affair with all things Lauder, that might be a reason for the excessively high rating on this one.

The bottle is frugly, as is the tacky fabric near the spray nozzle (really?). Good example of the picture of the bottle being more attractive than the bottle really is.
