Misia Eau de Parfum, from Chanel was released in 2016. The perfumer behind this creation is Olivier Polge. It has the top notes of Aldehydes and Lychee, middle notes of Peach, Raspberry, and Rose, and base notes of Benzoin, Leather, Orris Root, Powdery Notes, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, and Violet.
Misia is one of the best violet scents I’ve ever had the pleasure of smelling. Upon first spray it’s like being covered with Parma Violet sweets - the violet is front and centre with its strong powdery elements, with a juiciness coming from litchi and a touch of airy aldehydes. As it begins to settle on the skin, a dry and fluffy note of peach idles in the background as rose begins to shine ever so gently. The core of this fragrance revolves around the most effervescent violet and orris combination. The delicate powderiness of the violet compliments the smooth buttery elements of the orris, with hidden touches of leather in the base. Misia is pure makeup powder vibes to the max, it’s absolutely enchanting in every single way. It’s probably my favourite violet note I’ve ever smelled, second only to Roja Great Britain which takes the cake for me personally. This is my absolute favourite fragrance from Chanel by far, and even as a man I adore wearing this.
