Mugler Cologne by Mugler

Caught me off guard; I thought being green and a Mugler would scare me away, but it smells super clean and fresh—perfect for summer. On paper, the neroli and bergamota stand out with a musk base giving that perfect cleanliness. On skin, it should be a dream for men, even though it’s unisex; on men, it smells absolutely delicious.

I love this Mugler Cologne for its clean, fresh scent, like just stepping out of the shower. It’s spectacular because it stands out against the heavier scents of other Thierry Mugler fragrances. Plus, the bottle looks like an old-fashioned cologne, which is nice. Just for the initiated.

I loved this cologne for summer; it’s one of the few that lasted on me for hours. It was fresh and different, citrusy (which I usually don’t like) yet clean-smelling with a musk note that I adore. So sad they discontinued it. I’d love to know why and if they’ll bring it back. Something similar happened with Rochas Tocade, and then it returned. I’m looking for a summer cologne. I tried the new Rochas one, the yellow bottle I think is called Citron Soleil, and it has very similar ingredients to Cologne. The final dry-down smells like clean laundry and musk, but its initial citrus burst overwhelms me. If anyone knows an equivalent to Cologne, I’d appreciate it.

A cologne as its name suggests: very fresh and clean. Mugler Cologne has nothing to do with the Mugler collection in terms of scent; it’s the freshest of all and not invasive at all. It opens with neroli and bergamot. It smells great because the blend is truly pleasant. I always use it after a shower in summer when you need to feel fresh or go out in the morning. Moderate trail and about 4 hours of longevity. The price is really affordable. I like it a lot. I finished my 100ml bottle this summer and might buy it again next summer.

Thierry retired, and we’re left with MUGLER… the fantasy is over. Now, make do with what’s there… if you can. This Cologne was pure magic: clean, fresh, green, aromatic, relaxing, and long-lasting. Now it’s just a fresh cologne like so many others, like the colorful siblings they released. I have a third of a bottle left from the Thierry Mugler era, and now what? Should I use it and never have it again? Or keep it and never enjoy it? … What a great existential dilemma.

Epic cologne! Despite being a launch from 20 years ago, it doesn’t feel vintage or dated; nowadays, everyone is copying this flawless DNA. It’s an exquisite, delicious, and radiant scent with a perfect balance for hot days and totally unisex. Performance is adequate, and while you don’t need to spray much, it leaves a total feeling of cleanliness and freshness. Ideal for citrus lovers.

Fantastic daily cologne. Although it’s a bit pricey compared to cheaper similar options, if you want to enjoy its citrus explosion and that musky dry-down, this masterpiece by Don A. Morillas is ideal and very personal. After a shower, it’s a shot of optimism and well-being; being unisex, the whole family can wear it all year. Cheers, A.C.R.

Thierry Mugler Cologne. I bought it for collection purposes because they were changing the bottle and I was afraid they might alter the formula or discontinue it, so I grabbed a 100ml bottle. At first, I didn’t care much, saying it wasn’t my type and I hadn’t even tried it… until I started wearing it a few times and fell in love. It’s so revitalizing and cheerful it feels like an injection of happiness into your vein. It starts with a breathless citrus, floral, and green explosion. I know nothing sparklier or more energizing. Bergamot, neroli, and petit grain are the main voices alongside a very well-blended white musk, nothing plastic or synthetic. It fits the style of TF Neroli Portofino or Nenuco, but never the same; Mugler’s is more complex and rich in nuances. It has fruity hints, a green, fresh, almost aquatic part that makes it my favorite among Neroli + citrus fragrances. Longevity is good for its type, lasting about 5 hours with 2 hours of projection and a potent trail at the beginning that later becomes controlled. Totally for warm weather, spring, and summer, ideal for work or the beach. Unisex? TOTALLY. If you want to see more content, check out my YouTube channel: Perfúmate Con JL.

Mugler wanted a cologne that reminded them of their grandmother’s soaps with which they bathed as a child. Certainly, it’s a soapy, clean, and non-futuristic perfume, just as its advertising reflects. It’s a neroli fragrance with refreshing citrus reminiscences that I notice as woody on my skin. The perfume is good, clean, and unisex, but adult; in my opinion, it doesn’t suit young people, but rather adults who want to project daytime cleanliness with informal style. Stunning with casual or sporty clothes. Plus, it has a good price and performance, lasting quite well. Better than many EDPs floating around today. An optimistic aroma. I love the bottle, although it reflects a futuristic perfume that it isn’t. It’s a well-done job by master Morillas. What I like most is its sillage. I hope L’Oréal doesn’t drop it like they are doing with other fragrances.

Strong opening where neroli and bergamot battle before yielding to petit grain that softens it. The dry-down becomes soft and powdery, leaving an incredible scent. Works great in summer as well as winter, it’s sophisticated, not invasive, and since it’s not in all perfumeries, it’s uncommon to smell it on others, as happens to me in Argentina; I bought it at Macy’s in NYC on recommendation 5 years ago and went back to look for it in Spain.

Mugler tops my list of favorite houses. The fragrances I haven’t tried are the ones I want to try the most. This is no exception: unlike its gourmand line, they gave us something citrusy, green, energizing, summery, and refined. It smells like Hermès gardens but at a much lower price. Highly recommended; it’s a pleasure to wear in summer.

I recognize this is a well-made cologne with no objective flaws. It’s inoffensive to almost everyone, but the neroli is hard for me to tolerate, and it’s very prominent here. If you like it, buy it without hesitation; it’s clearly unisex.

Do you know those people you rarely see but who are great and make you smile? Something similar happens with Mugler’s cologne. I’m not a loyal user, but I really like it. It seems like a simple, honest product and a perfect modernization of a cologne de toilette. I used several bottles in its first year, but since then I haven’t used it much. When it first came out, I found it avant-garde yet classic, well-made, smelling like something familiar with a new millennium touch: more modern, cyber, galactic, ozonic. At one point, I hated it, and now I’m reconciling with it. I have a strange relationship with it: when I discover it again, I fall in love with its green citrus tone and pleasant, transparent, zen finish that was so modern in 2001. I’m a chameleon: when it seduces me, I start noticing just what I dislike least, its soft and warm consistency. I get angry that it’s not more starched, metallic, or dry. That’s the key nuance to understand its success: while other citrus waters are harsh, sparkling, or cloying, this one is soft, tempered, slightly morbid, like bottled room temperature. I wish it were more crisp, but that’s a stupid exercise because Mugler’s water is like this, not how I want it. In short, it’s a product for everyone: it costs two euros, the bottle is beautiful, and the green inside brings calm. It pleases everyone and has personality; women, men, and kids like it. It lasts longer than other EDTs but less than a perfume. The ‘good, beautiful, and cheap’ rule usually fails, but this is the exception. It’s good, beautiful, and cheap, with a historic and extraterrestrial concept that never hurts. I’m letting myself fall in love again; for this summer, I picked up a bottle of this and another Ô by Lancôme. And there we are, as summer approaches and the heavy perfumes stay in the closet.

I sell perfumes and cosmetics in Santiago, Chile. A client complained that the scent isn’t like before and that the body and hair gel doesn’t resemble the cologne. It left me with a bitter feeling due to the implicit suspicion that it’s not original, even though I know it is 100%. I’d like to know if anyone has the same perception.

For a long time, I searched for Creed’s Original Vetiver and discovered in this forum that it has similar characteristics and sensations to Mugler Cologne, although Mugler doesn’t have vetiver; it’s purely floral, while Creed is more woody. The similarity is that both have bergamot and musk, giving them a citrus touch in the opening and a musky finish. I chose Mugler for several reasons: first, the price, as the difference with Vetiver is abyssal, though for me the quality of both is extremely high (just one step above for Vetiver). Second, Mugler’s floral/citrus composition made me very comfortable and feels natural despite not being niche. Third, it allows over-application without wasting, something that would be a mistake with Vetiver. They are two very similar fragrances but with key differences, the most obvious being the price ($$). Both evoke being in a greenhouse on a sunny morning after rain, all green with freshly cut grass. Mugler is 100% unisex (a bit more masculine for me), very wearable and pleasant. I was very pleased with it when I was looking for Creed. It’s very targeted at a youthful audience, perfect for summer and spring, giving a sense of cleanliness and freshness, and seems inspired by artisanal soap. It’s not easy to get (I had it shipped from the US to Colombia), it’s been on the market since 2001, it’s by Alberto Morillas, and I recommend it 100% to citrus and green lovers.
