Those who are interested in this might want to know that there are notable differences between the edt and the edp.
The edt has a juicy mix of strong patchouli and floral notes, while the edp is darker, heavier, with a wonderful, bitter and very realistic cinnamon note that is not quite the same in the edt.
I first bought the edt blindly, and liked it, but in the end, the patchouli was just a little too much for me (I am rather sensitive about it), and I sold the edt and got an edp instead.
The edp is quite rare unfortunately, but the edt is definitely also worth trying. It doesn’t remind me of any other perfume I know.

The perfumer, Tristan Brando, was a new name to me – and going by what fragrantica says about him, he seems only to have composed a few other fragrances, none of which appear to be of the highest quality.
And yet Molto Missoni is quite brilliantly composed and executed. Although it is no surprise that it dates from the very early 1990s, (there’s a lot going on, it’s no shrinking violet, it’s “perfumey” and the ingredients smell of quality) still I would not feel in the least uncomfortable going out of the house with this on. The medicinal opening and subsequent rather gourmand vibe are very up to date. Florals are definitely present too, and the rose/heliotrope/carnation axis is really delicious juxtaposed against the resins and spices.
I have this on during a miserable cold rainy July day and it’s cheered me up no end. Really though this is an autumn/winter fragrance I think.
This was a blind buy and I’m so glad I took a chance on it. What a gem.

Basically this perfume is “Amber”.
Yes I would Say Grey Amber is the main note. Obviously a reconstruction. A sort of etude about and around amber. Well, this perfume has that little salty inside that you find in real grey amber. An amber centered fragrance even if a powdery spicy cinnamon vanilla heliotrope take a big space.
I sense a lot of patchouly also.
I resume: Grey Amber, cinnamon, heliotrope, patchouly, tonka/vanille (full natural dark vanille), and salty-lemon-incense presence it is what I mostly sense. Gourmand. Spicy cake someway. Christmas sweets.
More than born vintage this is a no time frag.
More than natural is artisanal, handmade. homemade.
It has not that commercial or niche vibe. Molto Missoni seems more an indian shop perfume, a good one, seems more a fresh take away fragrance built by a perfumer. A personal scent. It look like unbalanced by choice, with intention.
I like that.

Sherapop, I too have had this experience with minis, often the juice doesn’t seem to be an accurate representation of the fragrance. It’s always fairly disappointing.

I am pleasantly surprised by this little gourmand. First, because it is in a mini, and I do not trust minis (they often seem to have gone bad, which I attribute to the large surface area to volume ratio). Second, I have found some of the other Missoni perfumes to be conducive to vertigo–really kaleidoscopic and stomach churning. Not this one though! I’m sure that it has been discontinued, but it seems like the precedent to many more recent gourmand compositions… I was sure that I smelled chocolate in the mix, but it is not listed among the notes.
I like Molto Missoni so much that I ended up wearing it four days in a row–a rarity for me!
