“Allure Homme Sport's clean citrus crossed with Versace Pour Homme's herbal freshness — a Mediterranean day-scent that smells more expensive than it is.”
Frequently compared to Chanel Allure Homme Sport (2004), Missoni's 2020 Wave is a citrus-aromatic by Christophe Raynaud: Sicilian mandarin and a marine accent open over lavender and rosemary, with a vetiver-led base. Aromatic and citrus accords lead, with a marine freshness and light woods. A summer daytime scent, with spring close behind.
