What scent does Lionel Messi wear? 

Lionel Messi, one of the most celebrated football players, is known for his subtle and refined sense of style, often favoring simplicity in his appearances. However, fans are often curious about the scent he wears, prompting frequent discussions on platforms like Reddit and Quora regarding his choice of cologne.

A notable claim regarding Messi's scent emerged from Nashville midfielder Dax McCarty's wife, Jen. She garnered attention by stating that the Argentinian footballer's sweat smells like cologne, sparking interest among fans. Jen made the statement after she got her hands on the footballer's jersey and tweeted the information about the Inter Miami footballer sweating straight cologne.

In 2023, Lionel Messi launched his own fragrance brand, 'Messi Fragrance,' with Game On. The perfume was debuted at Cosmoprof North America's Miami show's day 1 on January 23, 2024. However, the perfume has yet to hit the retail market and is expected to debut sometime in 2024.
