    I'm sure I was given a bottle of a fragrance called Missoni, back in the '80s. IIRC, it was a lovely floral.

    J, I think they did have licensing arrangements with another company in the past, so I'm sure you are right.

    They shouldn't have discontinued it: it was really nice.

    J, Just found this on cosmetics intl:

    Missoni produced three scents in conjunction with Max Factor in the 1980s, the most well known of which was Aria Missoni, a women's jus. However, the fragrances were discontinued when the licence was acquired by Orlane in 2000.
