Mi Scusi
Mi Scusi wears as a light fruity floral with watery melon, peach, lemon, soft rose and orange blossom, then a musky praline base. In practice, many wearers find it more fresh, sweet, and shampooy than truly gourmand. It makes the most sense for someone after an easy daytime scent for spring or summer.

Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
Mi Scusi smells fruity, sweet, and watery first, with melon, peach, and lemon giving it a bright almost shampoo-clean opening. The floral heart stays soft, while musk and praline add a smooth sweet finish that feels more airy and musky than edible or creamy.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe fruity accord leads from start to finish, but it is not dense or sticky. Sweetness is present, though the ozonic, aquatic, and musky facets keep it feeling lighter and more diluted. Rose and white florals sit in the background, adding polish rather than turning the scent fully floral.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Antonio Maretti Mi Scusi Review”
Mi Scusi by Antonio Maretti is sold as a floral fruity gourmand, but on skin it usually reads lighter and more casual than that label suggests. The note list points to juicy fruit, soft florals, musk, moss, and praline, and the overall effect matches the brighter side of that pyramid. Think watery melon, peach, a squeeze of lemon, then a pink fruity-floral heart with a clean musky finish.
The opening seems to be the part most likely to win people over. Reviews mention a fruity freshness, a natural-feeling sour edge after the first minutes, and a cheerful compote or lemonade effect. Melon and peach appear to do most of the work here, giving Mi Scusi a soft, watery sweetness rather than a thick nectar texture. The citrus keeps it from turning too sticky early on.
As it settles, the floral side stays fairly light. Orange blossom and rose are present in the structure, but reviews suggest they do not dominate. Instead, the scent often comes across as shampooy, airy, and uncomplicated, with raspberry, musk, and praline providing sweetness in a clean, mass-appeal style. On some wearers that simplicity is the point. It feels easy, feminine, and undemanding. On others, the same profile can come across as generic, sharp, or too close to familiar airport-perfume territory.
Performance is the main weak spot. Community feedback and the performance data both point to soft sillage and short to moderate longevity at best. This is usually a close-wearing fragrance, and several impressions suggest it fades faster than many shoppers would expect for the price. If you want a scent that projects across a room or lasts deep into the evening, Mi Scusi is unlikely to satisfy. It makes more sense as a light day scent, especially in spring and summer, when a fruity-musky freshness can feel more natural.
The bigger question is whether you want this style at all. Mi Scusi seems aimed at someone who likes pleasant, feminine, wearable fruitiness without syrup, vanilla overload, or loud gourmand density. If you are tired of heavy dessert perfumes and want something easier, this may appeal. If you are shopping for originality, strong value, or true gourmand richness, sample before buying. It has a friendly profile, but it is also the kind of fragrance that can disappear quickly or feel too generic depending on your expectations and skin chemistry.

Is Mi Scusi a true gourmand fragrance?+

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREThe closest comparison in the supplied evidence is a loose resemblance in style to Dolce & Gabbana L'Imperatrice, also known as Empress, thanks to the watery fruity-musky feel. That said, the comparison is cautious and does not support calling Mi Scusi a clone. If that breezy fruity profile is what you want, the overlap is more about mood than exact smell.
