Missoni

How it Smells

Missoni Wave...okay, let's be real. It's trying *hard* to be Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême. The opening is a bright blast of mandarin and mint; that's the most obvious similarity. It's good, maybe a little sharper and more synthetic than the Chanel, but still, a solid start. The cypress adds a slightly green edge. Mid notes bring in some pepper and sage. Wave diverges here – the tonka is more pronounced, making it slightly sweeter than the original’s drier, cleaner heart. The drydown is a woody-musky blend. Sandalwood takes center stage. It’s about 90% in the ballpark.

The Verdict

Is this a perfect clone? No. But ? Absolutely worth checking out. If you love Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême but can’t stomach the cost, Missoni Wave scratches that itch . There are some sharper edges, and it leans a little sweeter, but it's a great daily driver for the gym, running errands, or just hanging out.

Wear time & Sillage

Longevity is respectable . I get about 5-6 hours on my skin. Projection is moderate for the first hour, then settles closer to the skin. This isn’t a beast mode fragrance; it's more of a casual, "I smell good without trying too hard" kind of vibe. Re-application is needed if you want it to last the day.
