This July, Missoni will launch Acqua, a new fragrance "about the beach, about water and about summers in Sardinia":
Acqua has top notes of bright bergamot, juicy melon, fresh grapefruit and sensual narcisse; a heart of velvety violet, voluminous peony, blue freesia and crisp muguet, and a drydown of Tuscan iris, jasmine and glimmering "sole," said to represent "the warmth of the sun hitting the open water."
Missoni Acqua will be available in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette and in matching body products. The 50 ml can be found now at strawberrynet. (via Women's Wear Daily)

“Muffin accord”?
Oh god.
Flirty muffin accord, no less!
Actually, have heard good things about MKA London Beat, but haven't seen a tester anywhere as yet.
I only want the muffin-top accord!
(from Seinfeld, if you're not a Seinfeld watcher.)
LOL — the best part! Crunchy! (I miss Seinfeld, and always happy to see a culture reference that I actually *get*)
My brother dated Muffin Accord about a year ago. Big on top, warm, but a little too soft.
LOL!
Hi R!
I tested the Missoni Acqua while on vacation in Ireland a few days ago. It is a nice-enough aquatic fragrance, with a little too much melon for my taste. I liked it more than the first Missoni fragrance, however; that one was a complete mess on my skin.
J! Hope you are having a WONDERFUL trip. Aquatic melon = I don't need to smell it
Missoni: Just got a cute sample (teeny bottle replica) and haven't tried it yet. Doesn't sound at all like anything I'd wear but I might keep the bottle just because it's so damn cute! Maybe I'll try it on a beach vacation though – seems like something you'd wear on the beach (where you can wash it off easily if you don't like it!).
MKAO…are you kidding? I'm not buying a scent named after anorexic teenagers.
It is darned cute! The scent itself was fine but no big deal, but only tried it really quickly on a test strip.
