Missoni wave.. Purchase at €52 for 100 ml. Production 9/22

Simple cardboard box. The atomizer is incredible. The cap is magnetic (strong... You can hold it from the top and it won't come off)... Overall, a nice bottle.

As for the fragrance.
We're talking about an ozonic, aromatic Eau de Toilette. I didn't detect the marine element. Opens with citrus. Quite bright. After half an hour, lavender and sage take the stage, but the top notes never really disappear. Gradually, lavender first and then sage lead the way... The base notes, the woods, become noticeable and blend with the other elements after about 4 hours.

So, it's bright, aromatic, slightly bittersweet, earthy, woody. Quality masculine freshness - cleanliness. Some of you might get a hint of high-quality shaving foam (after the first hour, I couldn't get the association out of my head... high quality shave cream)... In any case, I found it wonderful. I like it. I enjoy it.

Also, the women in the house, daughter and wife, who rarely give compliments, liked it a lot...
........................................................................
Longevity: 4-5 hours on skin
Longevity on clothes: days... many... checked
Projection: Projects for sure for about two hours at 50-60 cm, then gradually comes closer to the skin (4-5 sprays, and 2-3 on clothes)... Attention... Don't be fooled... You may not smell it, but others will... I wore it and, convinced it wasn't projecting, after three hours someone in an open space told me it smelled a lot.
Sillage: I didn't expect it... But yes, it leaves a trail (5-6 sprays... and on clothes)
Seasons: Excellent choice for summer and especially for high temperatures (it shines). But I could also see it in autumn ⛱️
Occasions: Casual but also for the office... It will never offend anyone... and for going out (5-6 sprays on skin and 2-3 on clothes) please. Very versatile...
Gender: Masculine
Age group: 25+; it's quite manly for under 25 (but if you like it, wear it and don't worry about it...)

............................................................................
Summary
+ Satisfactory (tolerable) longevity for a fresh scent
+ Good projection
+ Quality blend
+ Universally accepted. Everyone likes it and some like it a lot... (one of the few fragrances I've been asked several times what I'm wearing...)
+ Good price provided you find the 100ml between €45 and €55 (don't go higher...)
- After the first three times of applying the fragrance, it started causing me anosmia. I can't smell it anymore except for the first half hour. Others, however, can smell it
+ Suitable for blind buy
- You can't call it the epitome of innovation

Overall... A good choice for summer and not only. The hype is justified... just keep it moderate (it's not for the over €50 per 100ml league... I often see it going for around €70... ooooo... Don't give them the satisfaction)...
But I can't overlook that it's a very pleasant fragrance for both the wearer and those who smell it.

⚠️ Timeless tips
-Purchase only from discounters. Much better prices than physical stores
-Purchase only from reputable discounters. Unfortunately, counterfeiting is common in fragrances
-Buy out of season... Winter scents in summer and summer scents in winter. You'll get better prices
-Pay attention to the most recent reviews. When fragrances first hit the market, they tend to have better longevity. After the first 3-4 batches, companies may change the formula, and with it, the longevity
-Wherever possible, test first. All reviews are indicative. Every skin is different and every 'nose' is different.

Years user channel allure homme sport. Favorite fragrance of mine and my wife. I finish the 150ml in 2 months easily. I personally would not wear Versace pour homme because it is simply inferior, it does not have the sweetness that stimulates women's noses, it is just a fresh pleasant fragrance with a similar DNA.
ON OUR SUBJECT..
With the price skyrocketing to 150€ for 150ml, I decided for the first time to try a clone that I heard resembles the above two with very good comments and evaluations from YouTube and fragrantica.
At the first spray, I thought they were joking with me..
From the opening to the dry down, it is IDENTICAL, not a clone, IDENTICAL to AHS (and not VPH), just in a different packaging with a more beautiful bottle that represents the character of the fragrance and a magnetic cap!
How does the fragrance smell: fresh citrus scent with a sweet aftertaste, it has that unique smell of aldehydes that makes Chanel so distinctive and beloved...
I'm sorry to say this about a clone, but I honestly don't understand how they managed to achieve the exact same scent even on contact, not just in the air.. It surpasses allure homme sport for 30 euros for 100ml with greater variation in fewer sprays and projection for the first 2 hours, while lasting on the skin for 6 hours afterwards and 1-2 days on clothes depending on how many sprays.
I did an experiment, for a whole day I wore the wave instead of allure and my wife clearly thought it was allure even from a distance because it smelled for over 2 hours, both in the air and on the skin, even when I sprayed it in front of her, she was shocked that her nose was confused like that.
I can say with certainty that I would not change allure for any clone that almost manages to resemble it (see Aventus, etc.), but for 99.99999% similarity (yes, there may be a difference in the ingredients but since the human nose cannot distinguish which is which), I consider it foolish to personally pay 150ml for a bottle when I could get 500ml of the exact same scent with better performance. Perhaps the most successful clone of a high-end brand out there. A thousand bravo to Christophe Raynaud and Missoni for offering us a more affordable option so that we can indulge in this love without our wallet being in the negative.
