Missoni Wave

A copy of Chanel Allure Homme Sport, better than the original

This is an almost exact copy of Chanel Allure Homme Sport, but better AND cheaper (it doesn't happen very often, does it?). There are two ways in which Wave has an advantage. First, it performs better: while Allure fades in an hour and leaves only the sharp top, this persists as a whole. Second, both scents have that unpleasant "thousand tiny needles in your sinuses" effect, but Wave is slightly gentler in this respect. Another difference is that the drydown is halfway between sharp-translucent Allure and sharp-bitter Mancera Cedrat Boise.

Otherwise Wave and Allure are identical for practical purposes, the most similar scents from different brands I have found so far. I am not a fan of Allure, but if you are, you have to check out Wave.

Is it similar to Versace Pour Homme? Not really. Both are citrus sharp, but this is where similarities end.
