The opening is sweet citrus, like orange candies, not the natural fruit aroma. After a few minutes, they soften and vanilla and patchouli emerge, recalling Angel for Women significantly. As it settles, coffee with mint appears, creating a dry, fresh, and sweet dry down. Its evolution makes this a very unisex scent, slightly fresh and sweet, but without being cloying.
I tested it twice: the first time was a disaster, but the second time convinced me to buy it. I made the mistake of over-applying the first time, thinking it was Mugler’s ‘freshie’; it seemed too strong, too sweet, and gave me a headache after 30 minutes. The second time, with the lesson learned, I used just one spray from a distance. What a wonder. It opens with sweet oranges over a patchouli base that gradually gains ground. The oranges fade in intensity but remain present. After 30 minutes, coffee, cinnamon, and pepper appear very strongly for a moment; this phase is the one I dislike least as it seems dark and synthetic, but it lasts briefly before everything balances out, much like the A*Men line. From then on, it’s pure delight that improves. Vanilla, orange, patchouli, a touch of coffee, caramel, and milk (even though they aren’t listed)… It’s like a cup of coffee with milk, oranges, and caramel. The DNA of A*Men is there. It seems to me to be a more wearable and orange version of Pure Malt. On YouTube, some say it smells like Cream Sickle ice cream, others disagree; I think it has something of that character after two hours, but Mandarina Duck Pure Black reminds me of that scent more. The longevity is good; it’s still detectable after eight hours. The trail is excellent for the first hour and a half; after two hours, it stays close to the skin, about 15-20cm away, but stable. It doesn’t fade gradually; it plateaus and then departs. I’m very pleased with its behaviour on my skin; alongside Acqua di Giò Profumo, I believe it is one of the best of 2015. If you compare it with the original, you’ll be disappointed. Suitable for intermediate seasons; very sweet in summer and perhaps lacking body on very cold days, so I might look for something richer then. However, I think it’s wearable 60% of the year. Remember not to over-apply to one spot; distributed sprays give an exquisite, non-overpowering scent that will surely fill you with compliments. Regarding unisex, yes, but you must note the masculine notes of the A*Men. It plays on the edge without defining itself clearly. In Spain, if you look carefully, you can get it for €49 in a physical store instead of €74 elsewhere, so take advantage of it. I’m very happy and perhaps I’ll buy another bottle before it disappears. Scent: ***** Longevity: ***** Trail: *****
The aroma is delightful; I love wearing it just to feel happy. I bought it at a duty-free in Madrid because it was reduced in price compared to other Thierry Mugler flankers. Based on the reviews, I expected it to last all day, typical of this brand, but upon application, I felt the power of the orange, specifically a candied orange scent—that cloying smell that I simply adore. The dry down remains delicious with the DNA of A Man, but I was disappointed by the longevity: after five hours, the trail disappears and it’s only detectable close to the skin. The opening is potent and doesn’t disappoint, but it’s like a flame that extinguishes quickly for my taste, considering the brand’s reputation.
I own this perfume and it is one of my favourites; absolutely delicious. I describe it as ripe oranges, cream and caramel. Simply divine. Greetings from Chile.

The scent is delicious; I love wearing it just to feel happy. I bought it in a Madrid duty free at a very reduced price compared to other Thierry Mugler flankers. Based on reviews, I thought it would last all day, as it is iconic for this brand; however, upon application, I felt the power of the orange, specifically a candied orange scent, that cloying smell that I personally adore. The dry down remains delicious with the A*Men DNA, but I was disappointed by the longevity; for me, after five hours the sillage disappears and it is only detectable close to the skin. It is worth noting that the opening is potent and does not disappoint, but unfortunately it is like a flame that extinguishes very quickly for my taste, especially considering the brand’s reputation in perfumery.
It was hard to find; in Chile, the few available at informal outlets were charging double the real price (95,000 Chilean pesos, around $140). I tried searching in duty-free shops in Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and Panama, but found nothing. Even without having smelled it, I already wanted it. Finally, while browsing a mall in Santiago, I spotted just two units in a display window. Without hesitation and barely testing it, I asked the sales assistant. Upon smelling it, I realised it was one of Mugler’s best. I loved it, and although I own Pure Wood, Taste of Fragrance, Pure Energy, Pure Shoy, and A Man, I believe this takes the lead. Its scent of candied oranges, vanilla, and patchouli is exquisite. 100% recommended. As another friend said: an absolute treat!
A good fragrance, with a citrus and sweet orange opening. After a few minutes, it starts to resemble the original ‘A Man’ a bit, although the citrus notes persist throughout the evolution. It’s not bad, but if you already own the original, you wouldn’t buy this due to the similarity. My rating is 7.
It suspiciously reminds me of Clinique’s ‘Happy’, although Mugler smells more of sweet oranges while the other leans towards mandarin (a small difference, but there it is). Well, how delicious! I have nothing to say, it’s pure olfactory delight. It suits everything: informal, formal, night, day… It’s elegant, not overpowering, and women simply love it. 100% recommended.
Excellent fragrance, first-class aroma. The longevity is top-notch and the trail is very impressive.
An absolute treat. I adore that caramelised orange note, yet it carries a strong masculine edge that fits the Mugler family perfectly, although this one dares to be citrusy: the zest of a sweet yet masculine citrus. It’s a delight and, in Chile, it’s hard to find this scent elsewhere as it’s so easy to come by.
Although I am not a great fan of Thierry Mugler or the gourmand genre, Ultra Zest is the A*Men flanker that has convinced me the most, followed by Pure Tonka. The opening is delicious, sweet, and citrusy: an explosion of caramelised orange sweets, not very natural. The combination with coffee and vanilla gives it creaminess. I enjoy the first two hours; it conveys energy, but then it starts to tire or overwhelm me. It is subjective; there are fragrances you love, then there is an indistinct detail that prevents you from wearing it again. All in all, it is very special, although I am not sure if I would buy it again. Longevity and sillage are above average, although the atomiser is uncomfortable.
Not being a huge fan of Thierry Mugler or the gourmand genre in general, Ultra Zest is the flanker of A*Men that has convinced me the most, followed by Pure Tonka. The opening is delicious, sweet and citrusy, an explosion of caramelised orange sweets that I haven’t tasted in another fragrance. The blend with that soft, vanilla-infused coffee base gives it a creamy texture. I love the first two hours; it gives me a real energy boost, though for some reason it starts to tire or daze me a bit afterwards. It’s hard to explain as it’s very subjective. It happens with Pure Tonka too… I don’t know if others experience this, but there are fragrances that could enchant you, yet some vague detail prevents it, and in the end you simply like them or not. All in all, it feels very special to me, although I’m not sure if I would repurchase. The longevity and sillage are above average for today’s standards. The atomiser is a bit uncomfortable, although for Mugler collectors I suppose having the complete set must be quite an incentive.
It opens very sweet with blood orange and orange, resembling the Angel for women but with orange as the base. Patchouli and vanilla play a key role, and at the end, I detect the A*Men DNA. A good fragrance with good projection and sillage, 8/10. In my opinion, eating dulce de leche every day becomes cloying; I prefer to use it occasionally and do not see it as particularly summery, favouring a mid-season.
It smells of caramelised oranges and tangerines at first, which fade to reveal the scent of the original Homme. It smells super good and lasts quite a while. I gifted it to my father for Christmas and he loved it. The bottle is a piece of work of bright orange.
It starts with orange and tangerine, a sweetness and a mentholated sensation that provides freshness for just the first two minutes. Then come the bitter candied oranges; they are hard to identify, but what is prominent is vanilla, patchouli, and coffee, very similar to A*Men. It is sweet with a bitter touch that makes it agreeable. I wore it in summer without it becoming heavy, but due to its warmth, I prefer it in cooler weather. Moderate longevity and strong sillage for the first half-hour.
What stands out most is tangerine, ginger, cinnamon, and vanilla. It is better suited to hot climates; the opening is wonderful, but when dry on the skin it does not smell as good, unless you are sweating or someone smells it while passing by. I give it 8/10.
I tried it several times this winter. It begins with a bitter candied orange, a veil of patchouli and pepper, and that fermented tangerine zest. It is supported by coffee, tonka, vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger. It is fresh and warm at the same time, performing well in the cold as well as in the heat. I received good compliments from girls who said they would wear it themselves.
Ultra Zest blends candied orange with the typical Mugler DNA of patchouli and vanilla. It is pleasant and unisex with good performance. It is neither the best nor the worst from the house. Does it resemble Ultra Red? Yes, so it is better to go for this one, which is still available. If you do not like Mugler, do not think the orange changes much; it remains a sibling of A*Men.

Thanks to Rafasant, I was able to try it. It is a good fragrance (I am not a fan of the original A*Men), energetic and vigorous. A citrus explosion that blends with mint and coffee. After ten minutes, it is a little harsh, but the house’s sweet DNA mitigates it. Citrusy and creamy, better than I expected. Moderate longevity and sillage, but very interesting.
Ultra Zest is formidable: irreverent, sharp, and optimistic. It opens with an effervescent citrus note, like those vitamin C tablets from the chemist, to energise the day. This fizziness lasts for hours before drying down to a creamy, sweet vanilla and coffee scent, reminiscent of A*Men but softer. It is synthetic, bittersweet, and possesses that interstellar Mugler spirit. Brilliant for making a statement with good performance. Recommended and fun.
Ultra Zest is a formidable perfume. It is irreverent, contradictory, sharp and optimistic. It opens with an effervescent citrus scent, like the orange vitamin C tablets from the pharmacy. Vitamin C to energise and face the day (as I believe it is a daytime fragrance). This fizziness lasts for a few hours before reaching its heart and base, a creamy and slightly sweet vanilla and coffee aroma, with echoes of A*Men but much softer and kinder. Synthetic, bittersweet and with that Mugler spirit of interstellar scent. Brilliant for young and not-so-young people who want to stand out, and a fragrance with great performance. Recommended and fun.
I absolutely love this pure gourmand, although its focus slightly bothers me. It’s not that the performance is poor; rather, the citrus top note lasts about 45 minutes and feels summery, before giving way to the typical Mugler scent that makes it more suitable for evening or winter wear. Still, it is highly enjoyable, 8.5/10.
To start with, the first thing you feel is the typical chocolate-caramel-vanilla smell of the original Mugler, and in a few seconds the orange is noticeable. It’s less potent than the Noir, so it lasts less; that’s why I prefer the original, although it’s a great option that can be used even in summer, something the classic finds difficult. PS: it’s almost identical to Mugler Muse for women. Scent 9/10, Sillage 8/10, Longevity 8/10. Age: 18 and up.
I’ve wanted to try this fragrance for years and finally managed to get it. I always thought it was a summer scent and imagined something like Clinique’s Happy, but no. I don’t feel much citrus; seeing such an orange bottle, one would think oranges are hitting you in the face (like Happy with its tangerines). Ultra Zest is more of a sweet orange with coffee and cinnamon. It’s not citrusy, quite warm, but has a strong or rough touch at the same time. I see it more for an autumn afternoon or night, although the scent makes me think of a winter Christmas, with the food, sweets, and that special spirit. Undoubtedly, it’s a very rich and rare fragrance (at least in my country) and gives a certain ‘cozy’ feeling when worn. Obviously, that’s how I perceive it when using it; I should see what people around me say.
Ultra Zest smells like reformulated A*Men with tangerine and grapefruit opening… and little more. But to its credit, I must say that among the summer limited editions (Pure Shot, Ultimate, and Kryptomint), it has the best performance and sillage. The first spray releases a promising combination of red grapefruit or very ripe tangerine marmalades, not very citrusy but rather a sugary, industrial fruity sensation, like Clinique’s Happy: plastic and synthetic but clean, pleasant, playful, and balanced. But it quickly makes a 180-degree turn and the accords of its mother (A*Men) emerge: the clear coffee, the creamy vanilla, and the patchouli of the glorious Angel Men, not a vestige or a faint memory, it’s clearly there, latent and potent. If the citrus accords were more persistent on my skin, it would be perfect, but they are too volatile and it’s like with Kryptomint and the mint: the best notes end up in the background and leave you hooked wanting more. Its too synthetic drydown causes me a bit of discomfort. It smells good, or very good, quite timeless and even unisex.
Ultra Zest starts with lots of citrus like oranges, followed by the DNA of A*Men which is patchouli, lots of creaminess from vanilla, warm and spicy from coffee, tonka bean, something spicy and refreshing from ginger. The novel thing was that it reminded me of the taste of happy sorbet; at least the mix of orange and vanilla gives me that very gourmand result.
I think it’s an excellent fragrance, energising, with powerful orange and grapefruit notes at the beginning. I find it unisex, with moderate projection. I tested it when I opened it as a Christmas gift; it lasted a few hours, but today I’m going to test it thoroughly. In principle, it seems very good, different from everything I own, and I like it a lot.
I think it’s inevitable to remember past times with nostalgia, perhaps overvalued, about what was truly lived in that era. Basically, the idea that certain events gain more relevance when remembered than when experienced. I tested this fragrance at a well-known perfumery in Buenos Aires, the year of its launch. ‘It’s a limited edition’ they told me. It was a complex explosion of candied orange that left me stunned. But ultimately, I don’t know why (I think due to its high price), I ended up buying another perfume. Some time passed, and periodically I would be reminded of UltraZest, so I set out to get it at all costs. It was mentioned that it would be discontinued (one never knows if it’s a marketing strategy or reality, as some fragrances rumored discontinuation and then continued). Finally, I got it and evoked that melancholic memory. I liked it so much that I used it until I was saturated, but I will have it again. In my opinion, it’s the best ‘informal’ fragrance I’ve tried. It’s like a vitamin C tablet, candied with steroids and a good dose of patchouli.
Well, well, Thierry Mugler… I’ve always been running away from your perfumes, and now I’m in love with this one! All Mugler perfumes are so strong for my nose at first that they always caused me to reject them, but I never give up, and their bottles and advertising always made me want to know more. A few days ago, in a local perfumery, I saw this shiny bottle, sprayed it on my arm, and… oh my God, love at first spray. In my head, the thought rang out: ‘FINALLY’, I finally smell a Mugler perfume I love and I can finally add it to my collection. This scent is so sweet, so fresh, SO orange! It smells of pure grapefruit and tangerine, mixed with coffee and Mugler’s classic patchouli, super fresh yet deep. I tried it and couldn’t stop smelling my wrist… wow! It has moderate sillage, noticeable but not a bomb, and lasts about 5 hours. Unfortunately, it’s discontinued, so you have to look for it on eBay, Wallapop, or Vinted, paying a good price. I’ve been lucky.
Seville reimagined by a hipster. That’s how this fragrance smells to me. It’s sweet oranges with a milky coffee base, similar to Mugler Ultimate. Unlike other orange scents like Happy, you can tell the difference in quality between Mugler and Clinique. Ultra Zest has great character and versatility. It’s a bridge between gourmands like Havane, Wood, and Tonka, and citrus scents like Ice, Energy, and Shot. My rating: 8.
One of my favourite flankers. It opens with very acidic and sharp citrus, accompanied by spicy notes. I detect Mugler’s DNA instantly: an acidic smoke. In the base, there’s a hint of sweetness that doesn’t become apparent until it dries down. The opening is an explosion of energy, a very present ‘here I am’. In the heart phase, the initial notes relax without losing prominence, revealing their sweeter side (a sweetness that adds body but isn’t the primary accord). It’s very versatile, suitable for any situation and all year round. Good performance. The price leaves people speechless, haha.
Mugler never fails with its heavy notes in the original A*Men.
