Thierry Mugler Cologne - Fragrance review
|
Thierry Mugler launched Cologne, his third fragrance, in 2001. Mugler reportedly wanted to recreate the smell of skin after using a certain soap that he had brought back from a trip to Morocco; Cologne was developed by nose Alberto Morillas and features notes of bergamot, neroli, petitgrain, orange blossom, white musk, and a secret, trademarked note called "S".
Cologne starts with sharp green notes and citrus, and quickly settles into a soapy-clean scent. A bit of green remains, and it is very fresh and crisp, with light undertones of orange blossom and wood. Once the sharpness of the top notes fades, it is basically linear, and the lasting power is very good although it stays relatively close to the skin.

I have never really understood the appeal of very clean, fresh and soapy scents; it seems as though you could approximate the same effect by just showering and putting on clean clothes. But Cologne has a subtle kick, just a little tinge of something spicy-earthy, almost like vetiver, that makes it worth wearing. It is a great fragrance for hot, humid days when even your lightest Eau d'Ete seems like too much, or when you are just frankly tired of all your other perfumes. And, I would add, I find it very sexy.

"This is a great scent for casual use or - get it for pre-teens. I have a young son who is not ready for regular or expensive aftershaves but occasionally needs to "dress up". This aftershave with its clear uncomplicated pine scent and reasonable price fits the bill. He feels grown up, smells good but not overpowering! There are other scents that are just too strong - his peer pressure really does make something necesary so here it is Agua Brava! I can truly recomend it, and have been known to use it myself!"

"Back in the day, pine based fragrances for men were quite common. Thierry Mugler Cologne is very good version, a little rougher perhaps, with patchouli and vetiver in the mix, and more herbal than spicy. If this is your style, it is a good one to seek out."
