Mugler Cologne by Mugler

I was genuinely surprised by this one; I thought the green bottle and the Mugler name might be off-putting, but it smells incredibly clean and fresh—perfect for summer. On the paper, the neroli and bergamot really stand out, with the musk base providing that perfect cleanliness. On skin, it’s a dream for a man, though it’s unisex; on men, it smells absolutely divine.

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

I used to love this cologne for summer; it is one of the few that I could smell for hours. It was fresh and different, something citrusy (which I usually don’t like) yet with a clean scent and a touch of musk that I adore. It is so sad they discontinued it. I would love to know the reason and if they will bring it back. Something similar happened with Rochas Tocade, and then it returned. I am looking for a summer cologne. I tried the new Rochas one, the yellow-coloured one, which I think is called Citron Soleil, and it has very similar ingredients to Cologne. The final scent smells like clean laundry and musk, but its initial citrus scent overwhelms me. If anyone knows an equivalent to Cologne, I would be grateful.

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 is the freshest of all and nothing invasive. It opens with neroli and bergamota. It smells very well because the blend is truly pleasant. I always use it after a shower in summer when you need to feel fresh, or to go out in the morning. Moderate trail and a duration of about four hours. The price is really economical. I like it very much. I used my 100ml bottle this summer, and it is possible I will buy it again next summer.

Thierry retired, and we are left with MUGLER… the fantasy is over. Now you make do with what there is… if you can. This Cologne was pure wonder: clean, fresh, green, aromatic, relaxing, and long-lasting. Now it is just a fresh cologne like so many others, like the colourful little sisters they released. There, I keep a third of a bottle from when it was Thierry Mugler, and now what do I do? Should I use it and never see it again? Should I keep it and not 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 is totally unisex. The performance is adequate, and although you don’t need to spray much, it leaves a feeling of total cleanliness and freshness. Ideal for citrus lovers.

Fantastic cologne for everyday wear. Although it’s a bit pricey compared to similar but cheaper options, if you want to enjoy its citrus explosion and that musky dry-down, this work by master 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 use it all year round. Regards, A.C.R.

Thierry Mugler Cologne. I bought it for collecting purposes as they were changing the bottle and I was afraid they might alter the formula or discontinue it, so I got a 100ml bottle. At first, I didn’t pay much attention, saying it wasn’t my type and I hadn’t even tried it… until I started using it several times and fell in love. It’s so revitalising and cheerful it seems to inject happiness straight into your vein. It starts with a citrus, floral, and green explosion that leaves you breathless. I know nothing more sparkling and energising. Bergamot, neroli, and petit grain are the main voices alongside a very well-blended white musk, nothing plastic or synthetic. It fits into 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 favourite among Neroli + citrus fragrances. The longevity is good for its type, lasting about 5 hours with a projection of a couple of hours and a potent trail at the start which then settles. 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 them as a child. Certainly, it is a soapy, clean scent and nothing futuristic, as its advertising reflects. It’s a neroli fragrance with refreshing reminiscences from the citrus notes, which I note 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. Excellent with casual or sportswear. It also has good price and performance, lasting quite well. Better than many EDPs that are around nowadays. 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 fixative quality. I hope L’Oréal doesn’t drop it as they are doing with other fragrances.

Strong opening where the neroli and bergamot fight to finally yield to the petit grain that softens it. The finish becomes soft and powdery, leaving an incredible aroma. It goes very well in summer as in 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 in Macys in NYC on recommendation 5 years ago and went back to look for it in Spain.

I bought it in 2005. Four days later it fell in a hotel bathroom and smelled wonderful for days. I bought it again a year later. I love it, although I use it little and still have more than a third of the bottle left. It’s soft, light, green, fresh, classic yet doesn’t clash with a modern young person. Now I know it’s by Alberto Morillas; what a stroke of genius by the Seville man. Ideal for summer, day or evening. Not bad in spring either, but for walking around clean and fragrant in summer, it’s marvellous. Yes, it resembles Creed’s Vetiver.

I admit it’s a well-made cologne, without any objective flaws. It’s harmless to almost everyone, but the neroli is hard for me to bear, and it stands out here. If you like it, buy it without hesitation; it’s clearly unisex.

Do you know those people you hardly ever see but who are brilliant company and put a smile on your face? Something similar happens to me with Mugler’s cologne. I’m not a loyal user, but I really like it. It seems a simple, honest product and a perfect modernisation of a cologne. In its year I used several bottles, but since then I haven’t used it much. When it first came out, I found it avant-garde and classic, well-made, smelling of something familiar with a new millennium touch: more modern, cyber, galactic, ozonic. At some point I hated it, and now I’m reconciling myself. I have a strange relationship with it: when I discover it again, I fall in love with its green citrus tone and pleasant finish, that transparent and zen quality that was so modern in 2001. I’m a weather vane: when it seduces me, I start noticing exactly what I dislike least, its soft and warm consistency. It’s annoying 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 is soft, tempered, somewhat morbid, like bottled room temperature. I’d like it to be crisper, but it’s a foolish exercise because Mugler’s water is like this and not as I’d want. In short, it’s a product for everyone: it costs two pounds, the bottle is beautiful and the green inside brings calm. It pleases everyone and has personality; women, men and children like it. It lasts longer than other EDTs but less than a perfume. Good, pretty and cheap often fails, but this is the exception. It’s good, pretty and cheap, with a historicated and extraterrestrial concept that never goes amiss. I’m letting myself be enamoured again; for this summer I’ve picked up a bottle of this and another of Ô by Lancôme. And there we are, as summer arrives and the perfumes go into the wardrobe.

I sell perfumes and cosmetics in Santiago de 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, although 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 on 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 musky in the dry down. I decided on Mugler for several reasons: first the price, as the difference with Vetiver is abyssal, although for me the quality of both is extremely high (Vetiver is just one step above). Second, Mugler’s floral/citrus composition left me very comfortable and feels natural despite not being niche. Third, it allows over-application without waste, 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 nursery 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 comfortable with it when I was looking for Creed. It’s very aimed at a young audience, suitable for outright summer and spring, gives a sense of cleanliness and freshness, and seems inspired by artisan soap. It’s not very easy to get (I had it brought 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.
