Missoni (2015) Missoni for women

Impressions over time: At the very beginning, this is sharp and transparent, with a lot of something I have trouble identifying that smells like earth. I get absolutely no citrus. Fifteen minutes later, there's no sweetness—it smells like cloves and dry cold flowers, something green and spicy. From there it's quite linear for an hour or two before it starts to fade into something more floral, where the ambroxan is more obvious.

I'm not the best at identifying notes, but this is not like the reviews. Either this one is extremely dependent on skin chemistry, or my sample isn't quite right, although I bought it from a reputable source. I get no tartness and no fruit, really. An almost aquatic transparency, jasmine without any sweetness, and tonka beans, yes. Maybe if I strain I can imagine a bit of desiccated pear, as if it were dried and then spritzed with jasmine flowers soaked in watered-down Davidoff Cool Water to wake it back up. I don't care for this on me.

Such a shame, I was hoping to need that beautiful bottle.

I love the scent of this fragrance but it doesn’t last unfortunately. It’s tantalising, juicy, ‘tart’ and almost fizzy. I wish the lasting power was better.

I blind bought a mini of this thinking it could be nice to have something a bit sweeter for the winter given that my wardrobe leans heavily towards fresh spring/summer scents.
So, I do low-key like this but I don't think that this mini will be a precursor to a full bottle.
The poster who spoke of an affinity to Black Opium is correct unfortunately.
This scent is multi-faceted, reflecting multiple genres, but for me it veers just a tad too strongly into vanillic BO territory.
I wish the woods were more pronounced here or even the fruit. I think that for me the slightly smokey tonka is the dominant note and it's a bit too conspicuous for my taste.

Ok, I blind bought this, quite frankly, only because I thought the bottle was pretty. It ended up being a pleasant bright fruity floral scent. Nothing groundbreaking, but anyone who enjoys a good fruity-floral combo would probably like this. Looking forward to wearing this one on a sunny breezy spring day.

I sprayed once on my skin and my first thought was, “wait, Scandal?” and about 10 seconds later smelled again and “scandal” turned into “black opium.” It isn’t exactly black opium as it’s missing some coffee nutty gourmand type notes, but there’s a boozy vanilla with a touch of spice present that is very similar to BO. I’d almost say this smells like a fresher lighter daytime BO flanker. After it dries down further, I definitely start to smell that alien-esque jasmine. Overall the scent feels like a blend of Black Opium and Alien, two scents I never thought would work well together, yet they work very well together here.

The biggest issue with Missoni is the performance. It doesn’t project much, essentially a skin scent. It’s quite fleeting, sometimes it disappears for awhile and comes back. It’s currently winter and cold out, so I'm hoping this will perform better in the spring. It also takes a good half hour to fully develop after application, this scent “blooms” with body heat and chemistry. I feel like this scent is on the verge of being amazing but didn’t quite get there.

So far it’s a big “like” from me and a blind buy success. It seems like it has a Quentin Bisch signature to it as well, and like so many of his scents, works really well with my chemistry. I’d put it in the “sweet floral semi-gourmand” category he does so well (many of my top fav fragrances). Glad I got a bottle before it’s gone forever, may need a backup while they’re still affordable!

Smoothly blended and nicely balanced fruit and floral without being overly sweet.Nothing groundbreaking, but better than similar ones flooding the market at the moment.

This is pleasant enough but was much too faint on me.

I'm one of those people that had honestly never heard of Missoni until I saw it for sale at Marshalls. I thought the packaging was attractive, and I'm always excited to try new fruity and floral perfumes. This one is a little hard for me to describe since it is not like anything else in my collection, but something about it reminds me of the old B&BW Twilight Woods. Not exact, but it has a similar headiness in my opinion. I get a fizzy, powdery grape or blackcurrant, perhaps it's even a little jammy. There is a slight tartness from the citrus notes, but the pear and what I suspect is the petalia keeps it sweet. I love when the jasmine and sandalwood begin to set in, making this a little more cozy and mature. I am quite happy with this blind buy!

This is highschool in the 2000s. Fruity floral woody. The pear and sandalwood are prominent on my skin reminding me of radiant nectar... The jasmine sambac always leans vintage on me.

I bought this off a tiktok review, and it was exactly what the review was saying. grape-y fruity floral. not unique or anything to me, I ended up giving it away. I think my bottle was just old, because there was a sort of musty undertone that I just couldn't get with. not BAD, just not for me.

Very nice scent that can be worn anywhere. Fruity floral but not that long lasting on me. I don’t smell grape like many others have stated. Gorgeous bottle, one of the reasons I bought it. Overall I like it. Like many other perfumes on the market though, so I’m glad I got a 100ml bottle cheap.

This perfume reminds me so much of Alien by Thierry Mugler. They only have a little in common, if i just look at the listed notes, but the scent is very similar. Missoni has a little spice in it, what Alien doesn't have.

I absolutely love this fragrance! It starts very fruity and when it dries down I get the floral. It’s an easy reach and it’s soft and delicious.

Another failed blind buy for me unfortunately it smelled like synthetic grape syrup but not in a good way. I ended up selling it. Lol

Just lovely, ideal for all seasons and occasions. I'm not a fan of tonka beans but in this one can't detect it, it is well balanced and wonderful.

This is dried fruits sweet like dried apricots in particular. A very unique and a nice perfume for sure.

I find this an eccentric and complex scent. It first comes across on me as a fruity aquatic, but becomes a fruity floral before it’s all said and done. Something about it reminds me a little of Spellbound. Interesting, sophisticated, with moderate longevity - I really like it and can tell there will be certain days when it will be perfect for me.

I can see this as an easy reach. I don't find it grapey, too fruity, floral, or over powdery. This blend of woody base notes is perhaps one of my favorites, it has a subtle zing and uniqueness. This frag reminds of one I can't currently determine, I will have to investigate or do some layering experimentation. I may have to try Harajuku Lovers Wicked Style Love per @Nataliemarie's review. I will buy a FB, the attractive bottle will enhance my experience of wearing it.

Fast fwd a couple of hours: Dried down to a light floral powder. Still like it though.

I like this parfum very much. It opens up with fruity, sweet note and then when it starts to dry down you get a beautiful blend of light and sweet flowers and creamy,woody and slightly powdery notes. It is very uplifting and delicate parfume to me. The bottle is beautiful. 👌😊
Scent:10/10
Lasting : 7/10
Siage: 7/10

This smells sweet and almondy, like Elie Saab Girl Of Now to me! Quite generic smelling, a lot more gourmand than I was expecting. Definitely has a powdery almond quality to it, which is strange since it's not a listed note.
The bottle is gorgeous, but the scent isn't anything special.

This is such a beautiful fruity fragrance with flowery notes. It is quite fresh and enjoyable to wear during the warmer seasons. I love pear scent and this one didn’t disappoint.

The sillage is moderate but the longevity isn’t too impressive: 3 hours of easily smelled, then it’s super light for another 1-2 hours or so. I think the value is alright, could be better but could be worse.

7/10. I LOVE the scent, I don’t like the performance so much.

I know exactly what this smells like to me. The 3 I am about to mention, I have owned for a long time. Spritz on Miss Dior, mine is 2015, a tiny spray of Black Opium & a smidge of Olympea. This is what you get. I do smell what ppl are referring to as "Grape", but it's no more Grapey than what you would smell spraying those 3. Not Grape Soda for sure. I got the 3.4 oz for $45 shipped, decent deal for someone looking for this. I wouldn't do it again, b/c I actually already can do this with what I own. Not groundbreaking, but nice. I have several bottle of Harajuku lovers wicked love, not even close. That's muuuch better.

Love the fresh fruity/floral smell. It is just soft and delicious. Clean. Beckons you to go back for another whiff. I wore it for a while, but went thru the bottle very fast as it does not last long on me. It is not financially smart as each bottle is small and quite expensive.

عطر خوش ساختی هست، بوی شیرین، میوه‌ای و گلی داره. اول عطر کاملا بوی گلابی مشهوده، بعد گلی میشه و کمی گرم میشه.

A well-made perfume, with a sweet, fruity and floral scent. pear scent is quite obvious at first, then it becomes floral and warms up a bit.

I love this perfume Its such a beautiful fragrance. I was in a perfume store the other day and this was the Only one who has character in my opinion smells very intensive sweet but forget about pink sugar-kind of sweet this smells like an adult sexy exotic woman and every woman out there is sexy in her own way of course

Got a sample of this and it’s just like every other mainstream sweet fruity fragrance. Nothing special, but good cheaper dupe for more expensive sweet fragrances like mon paris guerlain or black opium or miss Dior edp.

This is a pleasant fragrance which does not overwhelm. It starts light and fresh but there is a sweetness balancing the citrus fresh smell. This goes on for a few minutes. Then it settles and becomes a very complex fragrance where I can't detect any particular note. Maybe a hint of sandalwood? And that is how it stays until it fades away. A lovely, balanced floral. I like it, but the dry-down is just the same as a lot of other more pricey fragrances which have been around in the last 5 years. I will never reach for it.

I wanted to like this so much because I think the bottle is just enchanting. The pictures I saw on blogs were compelling and the fact that this had a "trio of Italian citruses" gave me confidence that I'd find this wearable. Unfortunately, the "pear" and ambroxan conspire against me.

I'm still a little shocked at how sweet this pear is and I'm not convinced that there hasn't been an error in translation; "poire" is pear in French while I believe "pomme d'amour" is "candy apple." The ambroxan smells like Tupperware in a sink full of hot Palmolive suds and IT IS POWERFUL. I get way more ambroxan than indicated by "Main Notes According to Your Votes." I get candy apple slightly tempered by citron, but as the citron slowly fades away, the weird ambroxan note comes to the forefront to accompany the candy apple.

I wanted to wait and see if this scent was going to transition into something palatable, but it wore me out. I didn't scrub this perfume away, but it was so irritating I don't think I went in for any more sniffs when it got soft. I don't recall any tonka or sandalwood in the drydown. I'm so glad I got a sample of this instead of relenting to the temptation of low-priced beauties on Amazon. The scent doesn't work for me in any way.

They don't have grapes note but why do i smell a grape syrup???? It is exactly like grape syrup. I love it.. It is fruity sweet but unique, it does has floral notes that makes it smelled powdery.
And the bottle.. Omg.. It is one of the best bottle i ever had.

A pleasant fruity floral with citrus, pear, cedar, jasmine, mahonial, petalia, tonka bean, ambroxan, and sandalwood. I prefer it on me after about half an hour when the sweetness softens a bit. I like it but would probably have worn it more when I was younger, like in my 20s, but that's just my preference, it is quite pretty, although I prefer the bottle to the scent itself.

Missoni 15 is a favorite parfum! Love from the first moment we met. Wearing it mostly in the afternoon/ evening. Something magical happened when it touch my skin. I feel very sensual and attractiv wearing it. Even my daughter sad it fit me very well. It is a bit soft woody.

I enjoy this perfume. There are beautiful blackberry and pear notes greeting me when I spray it on my wrists. Sadly, it's all gone within twenty minutes! I don't know why since I used quite a lot. Maybe it's personal.

This smells just like grape candy! The other notes add something interesting so I actually like it. So all in all id say it smells like miss dior edt mixed with grape candy

The first thing I thought of was GRAPE! when I applied Missoni. It immediately reminded me of Harjuku Lovers Wicked Style's Love scent, but much more dimensional. This one did morph into a really nice, feminine, slightly floral / fresh scent after the initial grapes died down! Not really for me, but I might hold onto my tester spritzer for occasional use... Not a bad scent, and descent lasting power.

This is a very nice, and not your "typical" fruity fragrance.

It goes on juicy, fruity and kind of sweet, but not sugar sweet, rather fresh sweet. After a while it gets slightly powdery, and what i would call smoky (perhaps due to ambroxan). I don't get much florals or tonka, just a little.

If you smell it first and expect it to develop in a "happy-juicy-fruity" kind of way, you'll be disappointed. It goes in a "darker and drier" direction. I will describe this scent as fruity-smokey. It smells rather mature to me. Mostly suitable for a summer night out, but not for a formal occasion.

It has good lasting power and rather good projection. It is not a powerhouse, but still very detectable on skin even after a shower. I would say, among the perfume on the market today it performs better than average. The bottle is a bit tacky

Smells like a perfect summer night.
Playful, elegant, something Middle-Eastern.

On first impact I smell fruity woody flowers, but I can't pick up any "lemon-ey" notes! Later it develops on my skin into a hint of powderiness that is pleasantly smoky, I'm guessing that's the tonka beans! I'll be honest it's not one of my favorite scents and I'm not mad over it but I like it enough, and will happily use up my sample! I give this one a "like", but not a strong enough "like" to buy a bottle.

Wonderful beginning but gets powdery pretty soon and I don´t like powdery scents that much. One of the most pretty bottles on my shelf though.

Missoni by Missoni is a super juicy fragrance. It's fruity in a clean sort of a way, like the scent of a pear-based shampoo. If this fragrance wasn't so expensive my stance would be neutral, however, at its current price I am far from impressed.

I have admittedly smelt far better fruity florals for much less hard-earned dollars. Many celebrity scents and Escada Summer releases come close to matching Missoni by Missoni.

As much as I couldn't warm to the now discontinued line of previous Missoni scents, I do miss their uniqueness. Missoni has played it extremely safe with the release of Missoni (2015) and its subsequent flanker, Missoni EDT. It almost makes me wish they'd discontinue these latest disasters and bring their old scents back.

This fragrance will have its fans, and although I find the composition very bland and boring, I can't deny that this fragrance is very wearable and inoffensive on the skin. Each to their own I guess.

Sweet juicy fruity opening.
Lots of pear followed by tonka bean
Sweetness as in Mon Paris YSL, LVEB Lancome etc, the scent is easily recognizable, it's the "I've smelled this scent before for sure" thought.
Very juicy floral. Not specifically a certain floral note.
Powdery facets do show up, I guess it's because of the coumarin.
Pear and coumarin
Vanillic as well OF COURSE.
Funny thing, as it dries down it reminds me of a scent that women around me would wear when I was little, sad thing, I cannot pinpoint which perfume it was.
Be patient for some sandalwood appearance to balance these fruit and ambroxan to make it a bit smoky and sugary.
Overall, it's not terrible but I'm not rushing to the stores for it. It's a sweet, festive and happy scent very appropriate for colder weather.
As for the Miss Dior 2012 similarities, I don't think that the scents are much alike, this is no dupe for Miss Dior 2012

Edit: For nostalgic reasons, I wear some drops of Missoni when i go to bed, I might read a book, search the net, etc and you know it's not bad. It's not what you would call a comforting scent, but it does the trick for me.

tested spray sample.
Oddly enough, at first spritz...I get a fruity/mint vibe.....????....weird !! Almost spearmint...that quickly dies down...After that...it gets more pleasant.
But.....not for me. Simply...generic..no body....too simplistic. Not a bad scent...just ....there.
Fruity/floral...not over sweet. Fo the younger crowd..IMHO.

no synthetics or plastics.. just creamy smoky vanilla after the fruity notes faded away in about half an hour.. a warm and mature feminine scent done with quality ingredients and decent lasting power/projection

I was almost put off by the tacky, cheap looking bottle. But, like the brave woman I am, I decided to give it a sniff.

It smells..nice.. Nothing more. I have smelled some horrid perfumes in my days, and this was not one of them.

It smells like flowers, fruit and powder. I love powdery, strong scents, but this was too vanilla. (Not the smell, the type).

Angel is still my true love (along with hubby and our four children ;) )

This perfume is Carmen Miranda come to life. Do you watch old movies? She was an "exotic" actress starring in films of the 1940s who famously wore hats made of fruit. My first sniff of this perfume sample reminded me of a tropical beach, something I might wear to a pool party: a beautiful whirl of pineapple and vanilla and grape-I could see me pairing it with a big hat and a striped Missoni coverup. (I know those are not the scents listed, but that's where my brain went). Sadly, only a minute or two later, the scent became more synthetic and plasticky, like Miss Miranda's hats. That first impression of summer and pools and tropical beaches quickly turned to tropical skittles.

I've had it on for about an hour and it is very sweet, sugary, girlish and unsophisticated. I don't smell flowers, not even jasmine. (Perhaps because I'm treated to night-blooming jasmine in my yard niw, and so can't smell it artificially). I get a hint of sandalwood and pear. It is not headache inducing, (so far) but also is too sugary for the beach. It does, in a way, remind me of flowerbomb, in that there are no flowers, and it is like many of the new overly sweet perfumes on the market. Perfumers think today's woman wants to smell like the candy aisle, apparently.

The bottle is beautiful. I'd love to be wealthy enough to pour this scent out and put something else in. It's sad-if any company should get layers of scent right, it's Missoni. Instead they went for too bright, and too colorful.

Pretty bottle, forgettable scent. It's a bit detergenty but I have smelled more detergenty modern fragrances than this, certainly. Smells like a less Kurkdjianified Kenzo World, actually. Generic floraly floralness and ambroxan with some fruit.

Well... On the one hand you can't help but appreciate how candid they are about the synthetics that are in this thing...

On the other there really isn't that much to it: a slightly sour, tropical, powdery floral, in the modern fruit salad style.

Stick with the older, stranger, better Missoni.

Nice bottle though

smells like Fanta Grape. evaporates a bit quickly(((

The bottle grabbed my attention and I tested it once, It smells tropical and fruity. A nice everyday scent for summer. Likable but nothing special or unique.

First ten minutes smells gorgeous and tropical, then turns into detergent. What a pitty, it starts so promising.

I got those Missoni fragrances mixed up, so I'm actually reviewing this one today.
It seems that I don't like neither of them, both are too sweet in an annoying way.
I just don't like the sweetness in it and that's pretty much it, it smells like a bad celebrity fragrance.

I accidentally ordered this from FragranceNet thinking I was getting the 2006 version (I didn't know there were multiple fragrances by the same name). I was terribly disappointed that I didn't receive 2006 but thought 2015 was okay at first. It's not as unique as 2006 and smells a little elderly to me, but it's growing on me. I'll continue to wear it at least once a week.

25/7, EdP
Tried it super quick on paper and it was wonderful! I liked it so much that I'm putting it in my Love category here. But it had something I didn't like, I don't know what scent/note it was but it smelled plastic... However, the perfume didn't smell cheap and I've never tried anything like it.
Very fruity and this is also a gourmand, if you ask me... It was like scenting candies and ripe fruits.

Couldn't have guessed the notes.

28/7, EdP
Edit/update: It's less good on my skin, ok/good on paper and very good in the air. I don't know if it's the opening I like a lot but its "fruitiness" is very pleasant; it's just like sweet & juicy ripe fruits.

I see that it should be balsamic but I feel it's powdery on my skin. Like L'Acquarossa Elixir Fendi.

I tried it for more than 3hrs ago so I guess it has good lasting. The sillage is ok, not too good - I have to put my hand/wrist near my face to scent it (1 spray).

Not sure how Ambroxan smells but I think it's a bit like amber and I read somewhere that it's often synthetic (when it's used in perfumes) so I guess that's the "plastic note" I felt before and still feel. I think ambroaxn + tonka beans should be removed (or maybe replaced, if it's necessary in any way). Although I tend to like musk, I don't think that scent could be a good replacement. Glad there is sandalwood... Tonka beans + more sandalwood, would perhapd be better than how it is now.

Suitable for any occasion and season, perhaps more suitable for autumn/fall. Summer/spring scent if it were more fruity.

I still like it but I'd like it more if it wasn't for the negative aspects (... Notes*).

Summary: I love parts of it and strongly dislike some other parts. 1+ for the bottle. It's among my Likes for now. 4-6.5/10.

The saleslady convinced me to buy this one because it was 'different'. While I liked the hint of grape, I felt it quickly fades into a same genre of commercial smelling perfumes on the market. I gave back this one but still have the sample. I also find the perfume evaporates very quickly, I do like the bottle though.

this smells a bit like a lighter softer elie saab le parfum , i Think it smells wonderful i want t so bad

Surprised that such an upscale brand would launch something that smells like all the celebrity frags. To me it smells like everything else that's being pumped into the market in huge quantities.

On testing paper smells crazy. On my skin, just cheap, plain fruity-celebrity scent like Bruno Banani Magic Woman.

Tried this again but my opinion didn't change it's a very boring plain scent I'm surprised Missoi launched something like this

it smells wonderful! but after two seconds.....nothing. it fades super quickly

I agree with comments below: not bad, but very insignificant.

**

I tried this and at first it had a very strong fruity scent (love that!), later it become more flowery (not really my cup of tea). I don't like it enough to buy it..both me and my boyfriend think it smells a little plain.

Nice bottle. First time I tried it, it smelled like Jasmin, Pear and Petalia rose. With some mild citrus notes. But the problem is, it is just like bunch of other perfumes. Floral, blossomy, gentle and I am not amazed by the longetivity. After few hours the parfume changes the smell and that "aftersmell" it's not even half as good. I would give it a weak 3 out of 5.

Retail flop. Not selling well at all. Majority of comments I hear in store is it's too sweet and "it's not me". The most surprising comment when you tell them it's Missoni, they ask, "who's it by?", and "what's Missoni?" -_-'

I received 7 very different samples when I last went perfume shopping, and this was my least favourite of all of them.
This is such a boring, common, unoriginal scent. Even compared to a few juicy couture fragrances!!
It's pretty enough, don't get me wrong, but designed to be considered pleasant and inoffensive to the largest segment of society possible. Needless to say I'm profoundly offended.
Don't waste your time on this one.

(The Narciso Rodriguez scents were the clear winners, since you were wondering so politely)

At first, very beautiful bottle! I would love to have it on my shelf. Opening is more fruity, I smell mostly blackcurrant with bit of citrus. Drydown is delicate floral, nice jasmine tones. I sprayed it on skin during shopping, just to try and still (after about 8 hours and shower) I still can smell it on my skin. Vell done Missoni!

Nice scent, very fruity at first, but after a while it is delicate floral. Office safe. Bottle is very interesting.

Update: Pear note makes it a bit similar to LVEB.

Missoni has a tiny resemblance to Flowerbomb... Don't get me wrong! I think FB is one of a kind scent and I absolutely love it, but Missoni has partly the same notes: Pergamot on top and Jasmine and floral notes in the middle. Still it feels kind of wrong to say it's the same, as Missoni is pretty good perfume, but not really that outstanding like FB. Longevity and sillage is good.

Quite compelling, quite strong, very much reminds me of the power fumes from 80's. Smells very familiar, resembells perhaps Diesel Loverdose?
And - Alien from Thierry Mugler, the jasmin is the same!
The drydown is actually quite soft and not as strong as the opening

Smells like grape and sugar. And the saleswoman was so pushy, really annoying.

Disappointing.
The beautiful bottle lured me from a distance and I wanted to try it. I was never a big fan of Missoni's ones but I know them since ages, even the first ones. I didn't expect much and all I got was a very generic fragrance in the flood of market. It smells nice to be honest.
The opening smells bizarrelly spicy and no spice is listed.
The citrus edge comes out later and stay so for a long time. It gives the perfume some sparkle, but that's it. Not even ambroxan saved it from the sea of unoriginality with a warmer hug. No pear detected (I mean real pear) for best IMO, no tonka bean, no jasmine. Only a generic floral edge is there and yet it smells nice, non-offensive, very into the crowd. If they used natural ingredients it would have been a floral classic with citrus tones, but everything smells synthetical here. Wearable nonetheless.

Very disappointed It is a non descript fruity floral similar to so many others on the market a little citrusy and a bit fruity but to be. honest after five minutes from spraying I could not smell anything! Very generic not a winner for Missoni in my opinion

Blackberry.

Smell like blackberries blackcurrant red berries and roses marmelade. Powdery. Caramel's accents (burned sugar).

Heavy sillage and huge longevity.
Follows Paradiso by Cavalli Moschino Stars and many others with this tropical pear lemony notes.
But this is made in a better way finally.
This dark-cherry blackberrycurrant side is nice without be suffocating.
Has dark bitter fresh sides to balance all the compost.
Maybe not so unic but centered.
