Missoni Acqua by Missoni

guest_wella

Just bought this.
I am not sure what to believe.
The opening was very nice like a citrus,
However after not even 2 min, develops into something very heavy and almost like smoke and fog in London (the industrial area):))
It's sharp and peppery and I think I'll wait half a day to see what is going on here.
For now my conclusion is that i kind of purchased a fake...

i bought it yesterday before tested, but i dont like it very much.smells like melon icecream and i hate melon.maybe it feel better at summer,cause longlasting and fresh.

I tested it yesterday on Duty Free in Milan while rushing to the gate. I tested a little bit on my wrist and regretted not buying one when already boarded on the plane. The narcissus is very sharp at the beginning but then the ocean notes and iris are absolutely adorable. Even though it was EDT the lasting power was 10hours!
Next trip I will definetely get this one:)

On of my favorite perfumes I have yet to own. It screams summer and freshness, very Missoni.

If this is an aquatic scent the "aqua" must come from an old rotten bog. Another "rush-to-the-washbowl" scent. Reading the other reviews I might not have given this one time enough to develop into something nice. But I'm not gonna try it again.

My second fave perfume out of all the ones I own. My boyfriend loves this one- it's so lovely and fresh.

I have a small vial, and I will not be buying a big bottle... well, it smells fruity aquatic, quite strong, and I don't get much flowers... mainly plum, peach, melon, late summer fruits...almost if I can say that .... a gourmand aquatic. In the dry down finally the flowers kick in, powdery and soft. Interesting combo, but something in it feels like a cool cool summer, like an unfulfilled promise. I never smelled the original so who knows, maybe it's the aquatic notes that leave me cold...

A fresh summer beach scent? Since I live in Florida I'll have to find a sample of this!

YOu have to move past the top notes, the narcissus for me, which I find quite sharp...then it smells quite oceanic to me..I am not crazy about it though..not my cup of tea!

This fragrance seems more to me like a fruity scent than aquatic. I do like it, but I do not wear it often.

I haven't smelled this yet - or any other missoni since the stores where I live don't sell them - but the design and the concept of the bottle is beautiful. even if i thought the smell awful i think i'd purchase it - just to see it in my bathroom...

perfumes_addict

awful perfume. i initially liked it because it was so aquatic, but now i find it really intoxicating and un-original. i feel the cucumber smell way to intense for my tastes... i find it impossible to wear more that 1-2 weeks.

I too smell cucumber (which I must say I prefer in my sandwiches) - had this bought for me but would not have bought it for myself.

Luca Turin has called the original version (orange Missoni) a true masterpiece and has given it 5 stars. Personally, I prefer Acqua version. Yes, it is simplifed, lighter, more innocent. Actually, it is my girly dream came true.

I think, it is one of the best juicy aquatic for summer. It gives you the sensation of enjoying yourself by the sea on a cheerful day with a basket of fresh luscious fruit.

It sounds a little bit synthetic at the beginning but the drydown gives me the right vibe. I wouldn’t be seeking here some sensuality, mystery or glamour, you get what it seems. Once I was surprised to have met it on a 40- years old business lady in winter, but then I thought that all means are good when you are longing for holidays.

I’ve read in the reviews that it is similar to Be Delicious, well, this aquatic is not about apples at all, and in front of Emerald Dream Missoni acqua seems to me more juicy and maybe sweeter.

Last spring the consultant (a man) in a shop expected me to choose smth more serious, his hints took shape in one phrase he kept repeating: This one is only for summer, for summer. But then, seeing my serious intentions he gave up and said: Ok, it will be summer soon.

So, a year later I enjoy our reunion again.

I have been trying this one for a few days now, and am I the only one that smells cucumber? It is very pleasant, nonetheless. I feel as if I am young fresh dewy all over again every time I sniff my wrists... which I can't seem to stop while wearing this! My husband likes this, too.. which is very rare for us. (his most used comment when I ask for his opinion is that I smell "a bit flowery" which I *think* he dislikes. ? Good thing I usually wear fragrance for ME.. So girls, this is a very fresh and alluring scent, not sexy in a trashy way but more of a just from a rainstorm type thing.. sexy too, no? I just love it! It makes me want to dance in the rain. ^.^

amazing scent! at first it really is strange even nose twiching but then after a while it blooms into a watery fruity fresh veil. great and worth buiyng if you like summer fresh and invigorating fragrances. i like the bottle too. it smells how it looks- lagoon like.

klonk

Overwhelming and sweet at first. Strange thing: it get LOTS of KIWI here! And I do not care much for fruity scents. The drydown is much better: fresh and clean. Stayingpower is okay, it stays on my skin for about 6 hours.
Like it but do not love it...

I live in California and my friend lives in New Jersey...she sent me a sample of this along with others to try out to see which one i liked best and I feel in LOVE with this one. It smeels so crisp and clean. I can wear it to the office or for a night out w/ the hubby. I recommend 1000 times over!!

I absolutely love this fragrance. I was actually in Macy's to buy another fragrance. Missoni Aqua was on display. One sniff and I had to buy it. Only problem, hard to find.

The first sniff and an overpowering scent (which I thought turn into a big headache)transformed itself into a very enjoyable, sexy, elegant, shimmering sensation I got a sample vile from a fragrance fair and I have already purchased my first bottle. So glad I found you!

i just loveeeeeeee this perfume..its hard to find in every store though.

Very aquatic, very specific. Really fresh summer fragrance. I Like it very well!

Aeternitas

As soon as you spray it, you get a blast of what seems to be peachy watermelon bubblegum, which I found horrible, but once it dries down it's a perfect aquatic, fresh, summer beach scent. I usually hate anything aquatic in perfumes, but this one works for me somehow. I feel very clean in wearing it, and that little hint of melon note is very enjoyable! I wouldn't buy it, though.
