This is a delightful fragrance that will not be for every one.

Let me explain.

Missoni has created a unique scent that lends itself to a “watery” sugary sweetness, which is fresh, but somehow still unfamiliar (Melon & Grapefruit notes). It’s a bright blast off of a fragrance from the beginning, and then settles into a still unusual mix of flowers, (such as freesia and iris).

It’s fresh, light and tropical, but because of those opening fruity notes, it may not appeal to those who lean more towards the lighter citrus or oceanic fragrances. The staying power is nice, and as the day went on, I also picked up the bergamot and the muguet. I felt refreshed all day, especially on very hot days.

The bottle is simply divine and very much in keeping with the style of the house of Missoni. All in all, this is a fragrance that will stand out, and may push your nose into some new territory – which is always a good thing to me!

Note: The body lotion is fabulous as well, and fantastic to layer with.
