Messi Messi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Frank Voelkl. Messi opens with Cypress, Cardamom, and Apple, settles into a heart of Leather, Iris, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Messi's Messi carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive, much like the man himself. This one's a mainstream crowd-pleaser that aims for mass appeal, landing somewhere between a fresh "blue" scent and a warm gourmand. Ignore the tribal football fan reviews, it's a solid, if unoriginal, offering.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Office

Its moderate projection and fresh yet warm profile make it versatile for daily casual wear, including the gym, and close-quarters dates. The gourmand vanilla and woody base might be a bit much for formal settings, and while some find its sillage high, most report it's suitable for office settings where it won't overwhelm.

About

Messi opens with a fresh burst of cypress, cardamom and crisp apple, quickly settling into a smooth heart of soft leather, powdery orris, and clean lavender. The drydown reveals a comforting warmth, blending earthy cedar and patchouli with a creamy vanilla finish. It's a familiar scent profile, leaning into modern masculine appeal.
