Missoni Uomo

A masterpiece of a perfume. Missoni Uomo represents the perfumery trend of the 1980s in the best possible way. A woodsy scent with mellow notes of vetiver, patchouli, cedar, amber, and a hint of very soft, almost suede-like leather. It's sexy but not serious, dense but not overpowering, masculine but not too "muscular." There's also a very light note of incense that enriches a blend composed in an orderly and harmonious way. It's a shame it's so rare, but it's an exceptional perfume that deserves greater consideration. It's difficult to find anything like it; it has something of Antaeus, something of the first Borsalino, something of Yatagan... The Missoni is more delicate, the performance is normal, and in any case it's a rich and balanced perfume, suitable for all seasons except summer. Very recommend! missoni uomo rappresenta la tendenza della profumeria e della moda degli anni 80 nel miglior modo possibile. un boschivo con note suadenti di vetiver, patchouli, cedro, ambra e sentore di cuoio molto morbido, quasi scamosciato. La sua performance bilanciata contribuisce a renderlo un profumo eccezionale che vale la pena cercare!

Goodbye Ottavio Missoni. You can maybe leave this world today, but your style that has "destressed" fashion of is forced glamour, will live forever. Officially Missoni Uomo was my really first fragrance, made for his name and following his creations. I received as christmas present from my aunt in 1984 or 1985, it has definetely open the realm of fragrances to me. This fragrance was launched in 1983 (not 1990), and some others piramids includes cistus, olibanum, and green notes in the notes list. the warm aspect of this scent is always present, the first minutes reveals a green-cinnamonized side with bergamot,lemon, maybe cistus leaves (?) and green aromatic facets. After that, carnation and moss shows their power, with some shadow of leather, olibanum and a clue of amber, until the end. A borderline fragrance, almost unisex because of his warm and balance, more chypre than leather, has been abroad by orlane in the nineties. the impression wearing this masterpiece is to walk, with a Missoni wool pullover on, into a medieval enchanted forest created as set for a fantasy movie. Thank you Ottavio to have inspired this unforgettable perfume.

Many years ago I was given a 50ml bottle which I discarded back then thinking who the hell would wear this crap! What a diffrence opinion I have for this juice today. I would even consider this nieche fragrance today. This juice is UNBELIEVABLY SOPHISTICATED with a oily leathery blend with a warm vib from carnation. I agree that this juice has a real woodsy-herbal-bitter blend. If you can past the first 10min of this fragrance, you will smell a deep dark sophisticated aroma. Longevity and Silage is excellent lasting well past 8hrs To me Mission Uomo and Trussardi Pour Homme and others like these are the epitome of classic fragrance which nothing comes close to in past 10 years. To enjoy a fragrance of this quality it will cost you $250 today. I absolutely love this fall/winter fragrance and use it for very special occasions. 10++++

I have been trying to get this for ages and found one on my beloved eBay. It is spicy,classy and a real gentlemen's sophisticated fragrance similar in a way to vintage Yatagan, which I love and lasts well on my dry skin. No sweetness , very smooth and will wear it in the cooler weather on nights out. Don't think it is suitable for the under 30,s or those who like modern fragrances. Warm and comforting without being overpowering, a true star in perfume. I wish it was still readily available..or do I as I will smell unique. My question now is do I use it and enjoy or save for special occasions???

Finally !! I just got my 2.5 oz edt vintage NIB !!! Had this years ago...then....forgot about it....but remembered it fondly. In the "family" of Davidoff Zino....with Gres Cabochard and Hermes Equipage vibes added in....IMO. They just don't make em like this anymore !! Just received the original vintage Missoni for women as well, and, that too is a master class scent. I layer the 2 togther and it is pure awesomeness. Very decent performance/sillage.

I own a full 100ml bottle of this flanker that's been unused and stored in the dark drom 1991. If anyone's interested, I'd be happy to find a new owner for it! T

This is a lovely cologne. Such a high quality that it would seem very rare today. One of a kind, must be experienced. What a find! 10/10

A true masterpiece from the past ❤️🏆

Very appealing men's aromatic and not something I'd managed to smell until a friend sent me a sample recently and I was particularly impressed with how intact the top notes were considering the age of this. Bright citrus but specifically the basil chimes pretty big and makes for a different perfume to the usual crop of spicy/leather/woody perfumes this decade is reknown for. That could be the problem with this as well, for a perfume which came out in the decade of the powerhouse (and let's face it the previous decade was pretty powerful too) this is a bit of a strinking violet. Just a turn of phrase there, can't say I detected any violet. Not a strong perfume it's pretty tame leathery, carnation with that clove/cinnmamon again very subtley there, it's a little transparent and I can see a Halston Z14 comparison in spirit and subgenre rather than directly the smell. Enjoyable and worth seeking out if the price is right and has been stored well, however I defy anyone to have this as their favourite Men's fragrance of this era or any other, it's just not quite good or distinctive enough, that's not to say it doesn't go it's own way, Missoni Uomo just doesn't do it with enough purpose for me.

Recently received a small decant of this discontinued gem. My first impression was if Antaeus came out with a "sport" version, it would smell like this.[Edit - turns out a short lived Antaeus Sport was released in the mid-'80s] Missoni toned down the animalic and leather notes and turned up the oakmoss and jasmine. Strong without being overpowering.

Unique masterpiece from the past. True classic. RIP signore Ottavio Missoni, there's not such a noble scents nowadays (10++/10)

The "magic" of this fragrance is how it retains a fresh/green quality throughout (and not at all like today's "sport" fragrances), yet also possesses a deep, rich base. Don't expect an "80s power frag" with this one. The blending is great, with no "rough edges," yet you can still detect that the notes are present. Some might say it's powdery, or green, or floral, or something else, but that's probably because they are sensitive to that note. I can't think of another one like this, so if you think of yourself as an aficionado, and if you have a chance to pick one up at a decent price, I suggest you don't pass up that opportunity! Longevity is at least good and projection/"sillage" is moderate, which is probably necessary to keep the nice blend under control. If you want a stronger version of Missoni Uomo, try Pheromone for Men by Miglin. It's a bit cruder too, but it's also high quality and the drydown is similar, though I think it's got a stronger chypre feel to it. However, the soft yet rich and complex quality will be absent. This is the kind of fragrance that makes this "hobby" worthwhile to me, like someone who goes to yard sales finding an important work of art selling for $1. Sadly, this is now hard to find at reasonable prices.

galbanum, oakmoss, carnations, & basil.. It's quite an impressive blend indeed as it hits first with galbanum, carnations, & bergamot, & basil then slowly comes the sweet resin with touches of vetiver, leather, coriander, incense, & hints of cinnamon for sweet addition. Then the cedar, patchouli, and amber comes along. This blend is quite beautiful with an animalic touch added to it. It's very 80s powerhouse blend but not the usual common labelled ones. Beautiful.

Missoni Uomo is sort of like "Yatagan Sport" with a floral heart; there isn't a castoreum note listed, but you could swear that it is there, buried amongst the green notes and jasmine. While it isn't a beast, it is an ambient fragrance, it simmers on low. It's a curiosity to find an 80s fragrance that has the bones of a powerhouse but is complementary rather than a statement maker. Also, this is one of my favorite boxes for a fragrance.

A classic isoquinoline-galbanum-jasmine leather combo, quite rough and agressive TBH. I'd stay with the easier to find and more gentle Cabochard, which is also more floral (rose?, ylang?) and less 'green'. A less rough, more aldehydic version of this Missoni is Halston's Limited (1987) -not listed in Fragrantica- but also discontinued and hard to find.

it was my first edt.in my life.maby 20 jears ago.very deep and warm. use it many times, but it is out of stock/production.
