Description
Baldessarini launches the new fragrance Secret Mission that will be available from specialist retailers and in selected department stores from the end of August, 2012. Charles Schumann is the face of BALDESSARINI FRAGRANCES. He impressively embodies a man with character, style and a personal mythology.
The head notes open thrillingly with a seductive blend of bergamot and basil, enticingly combined with fresh cypress. In the heart, the fragrance reveals its boldly persuasive masculinity; powerful cardamom, aromatic geranium leaves and the unmistakable scent of lavender come together in a deeply evocative composition. The base note of BALDESSARINI SECRET MISSION is mystic and elegant, thanks to the forceful personality of cedarwood, the sensuality of warm musk and the intensive attraction of Oriental oud wood. The composition was created in cooperation with the renowned fragrance house IFF.

I found it with 80% discount so I bought it for a present. Very manly and versatile scent, especially for those people who enjoy pronounced lavender note.
It has the same feeling as -for example- some montblanc scents, quite harsh and synthetic but it’s pleasant. I could wear it. It’s not so well blended as for example the smooth Baldessarini Strictly Private. It’s like I’ve smelt a scent from another house.. I had high expectations from it.
The performance is moderate, about 4 hours. It’s not so weak as some people say here.
There is some resemblance with Burberry London for Men and Oriflame Architect which I had both. Generally it’s a safe masculine scent.

To avoid any confusion, this does NOT smell anything like Burberry London or a darker version of. That would be Bvlgari MIB, to my nose. That comment actually led me to blind buy this, but not a total let down..
This is almost identical to Mugler Pure Shot / Pure Energy. Although i was hoping for better longevity , it’s still great for summer months!
8/10

Darker version of Burberry London. I like it
Ira_1 – :
i’ll skip the fancy descriptions.
i find this EDT very pleasing, something i would definitely wear
BUT
longevity is just over 30 minutes.

Spray on: paper strip, and my arm.
Impression :
Herbal and Soapy.
Modern version of herbal perfume.
This goes into my wish list.

Secret Mission is a nice, fresh spicy and floral scent. Comes in a quality bottle. It has a pleasant character. However, this lacks potency in all departments, it becomes a skin scent after 2 hours – shame.
Meeex796elipseskism – :
Smells exactly like someone thought it would be a good idea to cross Armani Attitude with Burberry London. So it does come close to Attitude, it’s not an exact copy, but it is close.
Why they discontinued Attitude is beyond me. I remember it selling well.
Longevity, sillage, complexity, and projection is as others note: lacking.

I love Armani Attitude and thus I was brought here. I checked out reviews and took the plunge on Secret mission. There seems to be hope at first sniff. The top and middle remind me of a variant of Attitude (again – variant) but the dry-down continues this scent down a dead end path.. Where with Attitude you had the strong notes of coffee and warming spicy note of cardamon Offset by Lemon and Lavender respectively, with this scent there is none of that. Bergamot seems to be the only shot this frag had at impersonating Attitude and having that little punch to it but the Bergamot is too weak in this composition to be worth noting. The scent isnt bad – it is a respectable fragrance that has the darker qualities of an Attitude but it doesnt have everything it needs to be your replacement. Attitude remains a unique and elusive treasure.

I received my bottle today and I bought it mainly because some people had written that it smells similar to Attitude and I really miss my Attitude. I definitely got the Attitude vibe the moment I sprayed it on my skin but after not even 1 minute it changed to something synthetic that is not even close to Attitude. It smells okey when I stick my hand into my nostrils but otherwise I cannot feel any smell from this one. The projection is really weak.
Scent: 7/10
Longevity: 4/10
Projection: 6/10

Very low projection & Longevity ! But , overall a very good fragrance ! it does smell a bit like Attitude by Girogio Armani but Attitude is waaaaaaaaay better
korobov_skiy – :
For the price of this, and the price attitude goes these days, this is definitely a good alternative. The opening is near identical, then it seems to fade off to a bit of a generic nothing smell before coming back close to attitude. Definitely weaker, but cheap enough to just apply more heavily. Good stuff
zzazzik – :
a nice scent and to me very close to Zino by Davidoff! and very classy scent after all thanks to Baldessarini’s nose!
nunditthigh – :
Very cheap and synthetic. and it lasts only several seconds… thank god!
ptadenis – :
It is one of the worst fragances in the market.
Cheap, light,boring…
Do you really think that this is Oud?
In any case, plastic Oud…
Well, for children or for those who have not ever tasted a perfume really …
If you like this kind of smells, try New Haarlem (Bond nº 9).
If you like Oud, try Dark Aoud or Black Aoud (Montale).
Although it is a bit more expensive …
Scent 1/10
Longevity 3/10
Sillage 2/10
@drake”s”ito
You have not had CdG Luxe Patchouli,
either in your wildest dreams. 😀
Syr27 – :
This fragance smelly.
Is cheaper and smells lika a generic shower gel (as @The Monaco says)
Longevity and sillage, are too bad (fortunatelly).
KZ-OZ – :
At first I didn’t really like this fragrance, but hey… after spending some time with it, I find myself loving it more and more. Modern, masculine, elegant and mature. The first moment I smelled Secret Mission I thought of Armani Attitude, they are really that close. Since Attitude is discontinued, this Baldessarini can bacame a very good alternative.
Scent – 9/10
Projection – 7/10
Longevity – 7/10
A Good One! Try!

I have mixed feelings about the Secret Mission. I like the scent, but I must to admit… At first it looks like a cheap sports shower gel.
Men using this one should be very confident and confortable with themselves. This is a very masculine fragrance and i think that some guys could bear this one and look classy.
The base notes are better than the inicial ones, it gets more confortable and cool after some time.
Longevity It’s ok, and projection It’s good.

almost like armani attidude…..anyway a very good fragrance

چگونه یک مرد چهل انی سال با یک پوشش رایحه ترنج وترش مزه سرحال و جاذبه مردانه را میتوان بهمراه استواری رایحه سرو وخنکی نعناع برای شنوندهای خود بیادگار بگذارید تا توان جذبه شما در انتهای این مسیر خوش رایحه بتوان با صدر و قارچ های جنگلی خاطره انگیز تر نمود.
murad47 – :
Just a boring shower gel scent. Nothing special nothing unique. Like a random masculine sports shower gel…
