Missoni (2015) Eau de Parfum 50ml Spray

Missoni Eau de Parfum 50ml is the Italian fashion house's 2015 women's signature scent, signed by perfumer Quentin Bisch. A bright, sun-warmed opening of Italian bergamot, lemon, citron and pear lifts the composition, before opening into a soft floral heart of sambac jasmine, rose-and-peony Petalia accord and a magnolia-like Maholia note, settling into a smooth, modern base of sandalwood, tonka bean and ambroxan.

About Missoni

Missoni was founded in 1953 in Gallarate, northern Italy, by Ottavio "Tai" and Rosita Missoni, and built its global reputation on bold zigzag and chevron knitwear. The fragrance line, produced under licence by EuroItalia, follows the same Italian colour-and-craft sensibility, and the 2015 Missoni Eau de Parfum was conceived as a contemporary feminine signature, presented in a faceted bottle that nods to the brand's geometric prints.

Who it's for

Missoni Eau de Parfum suits women who want a polished, contemporary daily fragrance — bright at the top, soft in the heart, and quietly modern in its sandalwood-and-ambroxan drydown. It is at its best in spring and autumn, well suited to office, daytime and casual evening wear. Anyone drawn to fragrances such as Chloé Eau de Parfum or Prada Candy Florale will recognise the territory.

How to wear it

Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, and behind the ears — from around 15 cm away. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the longest wear. The eau de parfum projects strongly in the first hour, and rewards a moderate two-to-three-spray hand; the floral heart blooms gradually as the warm woody base develops on skin.
