Uh. Mah. Gah. I’m in love…This is so beautiful on my skin! Soft, powdery violets and soooo smooth and sparkling <3 I smell like a lady =)
Also, compared to FM Lipstick Rose, this is WAY better. Same type of scent, but Misia is ethereal, like a soft pink lipstick, where LR is bold, like bright red lipstick. LR is too harsh for my taste, Misia is perfection.

One of my all time favorite! Powdery but fresh violets… lipstick scent

In her tattered finery of satin and lace, Misia is the fragrance that I imagine for Miss Havisham from Great Expectations- a classic combination of powdery violets and sweet rose. Soft and faded, sitting close to the skin but regal, elegant and sophisticated. One of my very favourites in this line.

gorgeous fragrance. the first blast of lipstick rose is slightly too bright, but quickly it sedates to a deliciously potent copycat of vintage balengiaga’s le dix EDT, the powdery violet playing hide & seek with the damask rose. since the vintage le dix EDT is even more difficult to find than the extrait (that is very different from the EDT, anyway), thanks to polge (who is a genius) we have a powdery violet/rose fragrance again in the market. let’s not forget that lavoisier taught us that rien ne se perd, rien ne se crée: tout se transforme. after all, they are both frenchmen. it stays, shamelessly, in the family.

Update: I am being held captive by this fragrance. I am experiencing extreme feelings of love, adoration, fondness and devotion towards Misia….I’m beside myself right now! I’m laughing out loud like a mad person,, in utter disbelief,, could it be!?….Have I finally found my soul mate…is it you Misia!? Oh! but I do, I do believe it’s you and I’ll cherish every moment from now until my dying day ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I spent my morning and a good part of my afternoon walking around Saks and Neiman Marcus, searching through every fragrance counter and asking to be shown they’re most iris/orris heavy frags. Long story short, I went through Le labo, L`Artisan Parfumeur, Hermes, Guerlain, C Dior, Bond 9, Prada, Ramon Monegal, Jo Malone, Serge lutens etc. but Misia….Mmmmmmisia! Orris and lychee came home with me today in a full bottle. To my nose, it’s one of THE best orris frags in the market ♡♡♡♡♡

As a long-time fan of the eau de toilette, I was somewhat nervous about Misia’s switch to an eau de parfum.
Thankfully, the new EDP is, if anything, better: the two fragrances are extremely similar in smell, the difference largely being in sillage and longevity, both of which are quite beefed up in the new EDP. Where as the EDT became a muted skin scent after an hour, I find the EDP radiating a good five; six hours after application.
Other than that, it’s the same Misia I know and love: damp orris powder; candied violets; mildly aldehydic and almondy; lipstick-like florals. A cosmetic and quintessentially Chanel take on violet.

I was completely smitten with the EDT version of this perfume, but when I wore it I would often come up against a strong, pervasive rubbery note that just didn’t work on me. I tried to wear it over and over again, because other than that one note, Misia was exactly what I love. Ultimately, I declared defeat. About a month ago I tried the EDP, and I’ve been wearing it every day since. It is just perfect! Smooth and powdery. My favorite part is the rose-violet accord; I find it soothing and gorgeous. The sillage and longevity are much improved. On me, it lasts so that I can smell it with trying for about 8 hours. To my nose, Misia is by far the most sophisticated of the cosmetic/lipstick perfumes. It is subtle and wears like a beautiful lavender- colored cashmere wrap.
WooDzy – :
what i get right off the bat is powder. soon the fruitiness from litchi comes out, followed by rose. this reminds me of alharamain makkah, except this smells more natural.
edit: this is candy sweet perfume but i wudnt categorize it as gourmand. fresh, powdery, rosey-sweet without being cloying. opening is loud, middle note is candy-like vibe that settles into one of the most beautiful drydown ive smelled so far. 10/10!
Lunakrut – :
I love Iris and love violet scents which can have a slight melancholy thoughtful quality to them. Misia some how steps into the light a bit and offers hope. It’s my today is going to be a better day scent. Perhaps it is the rose that adds this quality. Feminine, classic, thoughtful.
wme191InsuffBooni – :
I have grown to love this beauty. Yes I get the violets, powder and orris but there are also plenty of warm resinous notes that help give this lovely decent longevity. It’s the perfect combo for me. I am surprised the aldehyde note is not more evident on me.
I find the violet or iris note tend to feel cold on me as well as powdery.
I then note the sweet fruit and tonka notes. Yes there is sweetness but it’s just right to balance against the cooler notes. It smells a natural and grown up sweetness.
Not surprisingly the resins are the last to fade.
Imho there is something very feminine about this one but if it’s a love then who cares.
Moderate longevity and sillage on me.
olyechka – :
I love violets. Really love them.
One may selfishly say these flowers were made to please – the nose, the eye, the palate.
Violet scented perfumes usually make me think of youth, spring, simplicity, smiles…
What Misia did was take these lovely violets and Chanel-ize them. It made them not only pretty, but elegant. Sophisticated. So well balanced and high-ended you can only bow your head in appreciation and cherish them.
If Annick Goutal’s “La Violette” is a happy flowery thing, ans Creed’s “Love in Black” is a dark take on mossy violets with a touch of motorbiker’s sweat, then Misia is that ageless beauty that’ll catch your eye with her style, and your heart with her intelligence.
My favorite violet scent so far.
SERJJ77 – :
I popped into the Mecca store first, and spritzed a lovely spray of Frederic Malle’s lipstick rose, and then ducked into the Chanel boutique to try Misia and compare the two.
So on to Misia…First impressions…a huge waft of freshly cut Nashi pear which settles into a powdery iris, and slowly evolves into a wave of roses. Didn’t get the nostalgic creamy lipstick vibe which the Malle fragrance delivers upfront and in your face, albeit somewhat contrived. Misia has its own complex composition without the obvious Malle engineering.
However, in terms of sillage and longevity, Malle wins hands down, but it’s a lot flatter and more linear than Misia. Conclusion, I liked them both, but not enough to marry either.

Misia smells like candied violets, powdery makeup, aldehydes with a balmy leather base. Also quite fresh and a little sour as someone mentioned.
It reminds me of incarnata which is more leather and no aldehydes.
Its such a soft feminine scent.
Attella – :
I want someone just buy it for me. I literally would sleep with this next to my pillow.
viczont – :
I never meant to like this perfume, who wants to smell like an expensive parma violet right? But after I spritzed through my EDT sample in no time I realised, actually, I kinda did want to smell like that. I love parma violets. I love iris. And you know what, they had a love child.
I bought the EDP and frankly I’d happily bathe in the stuff. Powdery but not sweetly cloying and of course screams quality ingredients from top to bottom.

I have small mini bottle of Misia
Its beautiful lipstick rose powdery violet fragrance
Very similar FM lisptick rose but less waxy i wiuld say more fresh and sour from FM
Rakiguica – :
I was trying to get a sample of Jersey at the Chanel counter, but they didn’t have any, so the SA gave me Misia and Gardenia instead. He said I would “definitely like” Gardenia, but that I “should try” Misia because it was “uh, interesting.” After hearing that, I was wary, but it turns out, for naught.
Agree with Germany completely that Misia is very similar to Creed’s Love In Black. They have that same sort of powdery violet iris thing going on. However, where LIB has a rubbery undertone (almost like tires), Misia takes on a fancy lipstick smell.
In that way, Misia is like a more polished, feminine LIB. Where LIB could go with a leather motorcycle jacket, Misia would prefer a tweed overcoat.
I do quite like Misia, but before investing, would like to actually try a sample of Jersey to see which I like more. Sillage is light to moderate, and the lasting power is great — I got gentle wafts through the entire work day.
fedorskachev – :
This is one of my all time favorites, i absolutely love the way this fragrance smells, i could wear this the rest of my life and i would be happy with the way i smell, so do women think this is a bad fragrance for a man to wear? is it to feminine smelling? would it be a turn off for women if a man was wearing it? I really love this fragrance should i not care what people think of me wearing it, or should i only wear it around my house when I’m by myself?
clt503elipseskism – :
I fell in LOVE with the first spray. I wore it whole November it’s like a warm scarf around your neck. I do smell the litpstick but it’s very expensive one. Love it.

I applause that the chanel exclusives are now EDPs as in my opinion they may last longer and are more intense. Not that i had issues with their lasting power nor their intensity but as a general rule I do prefer EDP composions over Edt.
In the case of exclusives I really do. It think that they don’t smell any different from their former EDT formulations ,but again they may last longer or are ever so slightly tweaked. Not enough to list them here as a new fragrance though !?
And for their prices they should be EDP s !
MISIA is a powdery, elegant violet cosmetic perfume with a balsamic undertone .
A Jackie Kennedy , classy with a sexy edge !
The cosmetic smell of Misia brings my thoughts back to the past but the way it’s done it has a modern flair .
Fist impression is Love in Black by Creed !
Misia turns out to be softer as Love in black with no cloves and ceder but the over all smell is very similar .
I love the benzoin and Tonka as it makes Misia really dense and almondy. With a dense , close to the skin almond, nutty sweetness.
It is much like love in black in its densness and oriental balsamic kind of way.
Lipstick Rose is quite different from Misia being more of a floral aldehyde with no oriental feel to it.
The more I wear the EDP the more I think it is brighter and less powdery. More aromatic and more raspberries ? But I am not completely sure yet.
I am doing a side by side comparison at the moment and so far I feel that the EDP is stronger , less powdery and more bright , all in all a little better.
Regardless they are both so very lovely and amazing. Top shelf worthy and worth every penny! I am using my edt up fast and next purchase will be EDP.
