Alright, to whomever is in these reviews trying to decide if they should purchase Missoni Wave or not I will give you the best information I can possible. I own both Chanel Allure Homme Sport and Versace Pour Homme and love them both to death, in fact they are two of my favorite fragrances and have been a very long time.. Missoni Wave doesn’t smell identical to either of them but that’s not to be expected. What it does do is its own sort of thing while taking a fair bit of inspiration from both of its main predecessors. Wave does start off a bit screechy synthetic and will slightly be almost off putting from the first initial sprays. Some of that will go away with oxidation/maturing and also it will slowly start to go away into the dry down. Once this fragrance settles down a bit you’re left with a very charming creamy citrus slightly floral fragrance perfect for warm weather. I would have to say Wave is a bit more comparable to Chanel Allure Homme Sport as it has that creaminess aspect to it that Versace Pour Homme does not. What Wave does have that favors Versace Pour Homme is that floral aspect introducing itself in the background. My verdict is for the price point this fragrance is 100% well worth it. If you like it’s Chanel or Versace predecessor’s very well then there’s a good chance you will enjoy Wave. It takes a little inspiration from both but like I mentioned above it’s creaminess aura makes it lean stronger in the Chanel direction. The longevity and projection on Wave are also good considering it’s DNA and price, I have always gotten 4-7 hours of longevity with 5-8 sprays and about a foot and half of projection. Take the chance on this one and ride the Wave!
