Misia

by Olivier Polge

Our verdict on Misia: Favourite

Misia is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent. For some, it's that holy grail, photorealistic lipstick and violet wonder. For others, it's a harsh, dusty, rubbery mess. Performance is divisive too, so definitely sample first.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its powdery, elegant nature and sometimes-subtle projection make it suitable for office wear, or any occasion indoors. The intimate, romantic character of the floral and powdery accords, with hints of leather, also makes it a strong contender for a casual date night. It's a bit too refined for sport and could be overwhelmed at a very loud formal event by bolder scents.

About

Opens with a cheeky fizz of aldehydes and sweet litchi, quickly leading into a soft, romantic heart of rose, peach, and raspberry that evokes candied sweetness. The true character unfolds in the dry down: a luxurious, powdery violet and orris bloom, underpinned by smooth leather and a comforting warmth from benzoin, tonka bean, and vanilla. It's a vintage makeup bag dream, refined and delicate.
