When the world's best footballer steps onto the field, millions follow. When he creates a fragrance, it becomes an event. The Messi brand was born in 2024 in Argentina—a country of passion, tango, and football. This is not just another celebrity project, but a personal olfactory signature of Lionel Messi, an embodiment of his character: confident, bold, yet refined. Each bottle is a small victory to carry with you. The Argentine roots of the brand are felt in the warmth, sun, and energy embedded in every composition.
The idea of releasing his own fragrance line had been brewing in Messi for a long time—he wanted to convey the feeling of the moment when you step onto the field and hear the roar of the crowd. Thus the brand's philosophy was born: 'The Scent of a Winner.' It's not about loud titles, but about inner strength, discipline, and the joy of the game. For Messi, a fragrance is as important an attribute as boots or a captain's armband. In interviews, he admitted that perfume helps him get into the right mindset for a match and feel confident in everyday life. That is why the collections are based on contrasts: the freshness of a sporting start and the depth of woody accords reminiscent of an evening after victory.
To realize his dream, Messi invited one of the most acclaimed perfumers of our time, Frank Voelkl. You know his work from iconic Creed fragrances (Aventus, Green Irish Tweed) and many other bestsellers. Frank can create powerful, memorable compositions that remain elegant and comfortable. In collaboration with Messi, he used his signature approach—clean, high-quality ingredients and impeccable balance. The result exceeded expectations: the fragrances turned out both sporty and prestigious, perfectly suited for the modern man who lives life at full speed.
To date, the brand has introduced two main collections, each reflecting different facets of Messi's personality. The Messi Sport line is energy, dynamics, and freshness. Here you will find bright citrus openings, aquatic accords, and spicy notes that give a feeling of cleanliness and drive. The most prominent representatives: Messi Sport Red with a fiery character and Messi Sport Silver — more restrained but no less charismatic. And Messi Sport Black adds an evening touch with accents of leather and amber.
The second collection is Messi M10, named after the legendary jersey number. This is deeper, more serious perfumery focused on longevity and sillage. M10 Green surprises with lush greenery and a woody base, M10 Red is spicy and passionate, and M10 Blue is marine, refreshing, ideal for vacation. The flagship Messi (the eponymous fragrance) has become the quintessence of style: it combines bergamot, lavender, and cedar — a classic that sounds new.
Although the brand is positioned as masculine, its fragrances are universal in mood. Messi Elixir with notes of vanilla and leather, for example, could easily become a favorite among women who appreciate sweet yet masculine compositions. Overall, Messi perfumery is created for active, ambitious people—those who are not afraid to be the center of attention. It is perfect for everyday wear in the city, for meeting friends, and even for special occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality. Thanks to the eau de parfum (EDP) concentration, all fragrances have high longevity—6–8 hours on skin and longer on clothes.
The Messi brand was officially launched in April 2024 and has already gathered an army of fans. Interestingly, the fragrances are produced in Spain and France, but the soul of the brand remains Argentine—each bottle contains a reference to Messi's homeland. For example, in Messi Platinum you can detect notes of mate and pink pepper, traditional South American ingredients. Lionel himself was directly involved in the development: he tested every sample, gave feedback, and even chose the bottle design. The shape resembles a football, and the color scheme references the Argentine national team jersey. This is not just perfume, but a true artifact for football fans and connoisseurs of quality fragrances.
