Missoni Wave is an aquatic men’s perfume. That’s all I have to write and you can probably tell how it’s going to smell. As per the press release, the top notes are Sea Notes, Sicilian Mandarin and Citruses; middle notes are Clary Sage, Lavender, Egyptian Pelargonium and Rosemary; base notes are Vanilla orchid, Oakmoss, Haitian Vetiver and Patchouli.

It’s all bull. It’s a generic scent with no art or imagination. It’s pleasant, and that is the best adjective I can give it. It doesn’t last on for a while, which is just as well because after five minutes of it I am ready for something more interesting.
