Missoni (1981)

Missoni · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 1981

Missoni's debut fragrance from 1981 is a lush oriental chypre built on real oakmoss and a warm civet-honey base, closer in spirit to the great chypres of the 1970s than to its own decade. It remains a cult favorite among vintage-perfume collectors for its outstanding sillage and animalic depth.
