Mugler Cologne Fly Away

One of, if not the most nuanced cologne/two-note style fragrance I’ve ever smelled. Upon first spray your nose is sucker punched by this wonderfully bright, juicy, and realistic grapefruit flesh and pith with a lovely green backbone. After about 15 minutes the green starts to bloom and come to life as it develops the undeniable and unmistakable smell of fresh and growing hemp with some of the intoxicating camphoric terpenes you come to love if you smoke weed. Even as it develops the weed never takes the center stage, mostly supporting and adding much appreciated nuance to the grapefruit, now every part - the flesh, pith, and rind - all being apparent. As someone who smokes a fair amount of weed, I can say with full certainty that while this does have the smell of weed in it, it’s not the dried, slightly dusty, and intensely camphoric smell you get from the smoke or dried weed you use to smoke. This is very green and hempy, with lovely slight camphoric and dark nuances that only lend to accentuate the intensely fresh and citric grapefruit. While I personally wouldn’t wear this to work or somewhere super formal, in the air it doesn’t scream “I smoke weed!” as much as some it’s contemporaries like “Ganja” by Comme des Garçons and “Chronic” by 19-69 does. Instead, like stated earlier, in the air it just gives it some slight green and camphoric nuances that make this as good as it is. It’s a super easy dumb reach for quick errands, casual hangouts with friends on a hot day, or the gym, and for the price I got it at, it’s a steal for the really really nice quality. 9.2/10. Song vibe - PLAIN JANE by ARDN Another W for Mugler. EDIT: Nearly worn through half of my bottle since I first got this bottle. A true workhorse in the rotation as that bright green grapefruit in the morning just puts a smile on my face. Gym buddies now know when I come to the gym cause the scent pushes much further than expected lol. Best darty fragrance I own, people love this on me when it's pushing off my skin under the hot sun. Most underrated frag from the house, hands down. 10/10. Signature scent worthy.

THIS IS IT. after a long search, i have finally found my perfect weed fragrance !!! fly away has a decently realistic smell of freshly picked/ground bud, but it's honestly so well blended with the grapefruit that it ends up smelling like much much more... it's incredibly refreshing, as well as fruity, aromatic, herbaceous, and somehow juicy and dry all at once... it's almost like a tree stump covered in moss that someone poured grapefruit juice all over and then stuck kief to it lol. such a beautiful and satisfying combination of fresh and dank. this smell actually brings a smile to my face and is truly a pleasure to wear. wish it lasted a bit longer but oh well. for the low price and delicious unique scent, you really can't go wrong - just a lil overspray will do ya! can't wait to douse myself in this on my days off :> edit: this layered w womanity will make you the sexiest fruit in the jungle 🍉🌴 edit edit: although this fragrance is incredible on its own, i've found that it's also the perfect layering scent with manyyy others, especially with other muglers. i particularly enjoy it with heavy/saccharine fragrances that need a bit of brightness or a sort of masculine touch (for lack of a better word) (fragrance has no gender !!). edit edit edit: i now wear this all the time - to work, to the store, to dates, to concerts. it just fits, always (esp in the unending florida heat). it's so clean and casual and refreshing and perfect ! one of my favorites ever. my 100ml bottle is already halfway empty 🥲

I just got this in the mail today, I’ve been trying different frags with weed notes recently, and this one is my favorite hands down. Something I notice with the canna note is that it can be pungent and very headache inducing. Obviously there’s no such thing universally, but it comes off almost as the tofu of animalic scents, the stink can be overwhelming- fly away is a very juicy & sparkling grapefruit - very refreshing, nuanced & you get a bit of an herbal background. It can definitely be reminiscent of smelling unsmoked bud in higher humidities, also a bit like mint leaves? It works gr8 with the grapefruit making it v acceptable & wearable- this frag does the weed so well, but I wouldn’t’ve been able to put a finger on it right away if i tried to guess the blend. I think it’s so nice for the summer, I’m addicted to the idea of wearing this. I got a 10ml for $22 total (inc ship+tax) on fragrance net before committing to a full bottle. Longevity isn’t crazy ofc considering the concentration, but if you don’t mind reapplying through the day, it’s totally safe to, as the opening isn’t offensive or too loud. Yaaay actually very happy to have finallllyyy got this off my discovery list. ^Ive noticed the canna note does best in edt concentrations compared to scents like ganga by cdg. Also this is a first impression

I just got it in. I have not worn it officially yet but I have sprayed it on skin to test it out. The very immediate opening it like an angry lemon and an angry grapefruit having a fight with a cannabis plant. And I like it. A few minutes pass and the citrus and cannabis gel together very well and the cannabis takes the lead roll by just a little. About an hour and 15 minutes later its a skin scent with a light citrus scent, but if you rub on the spray spot cannabis resurfaces. I suspect this may not be a high performer. I did use just one spray... Going to let the wife have a go at this one since its unisex. Will update after I wear it a full day. UPDATE: Oh yes! I really am feeling this. My wife likes it too. She doesn't get the cannabis, she thinks it is a woody scent, takes her back to grandfather's house.. hmm. Anyway. It is not short lived like I thought it would be. It has good performance. Been wearing for 6 hours and it still radiates in little burps of sweet cannabis and lemon/grapefruit. It is really refreshing and pleasant. I find it leans a tad more to the masculine than the other way but really either could pull it off. I could see a woman sporting this. Outgoing - free spirited. This is a fun scent. not a formal scent. Its original and different.

Oh wow...this grapefruit is outstanding! Nothing needs to be tweaked here, nothing. I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy just these two notes (so dumb, Alien is really simple, but smells like so much more, I shouldn't have doubted), but this is perfect. And despite the citrus not being absolutely immortal, it does last a good deal longer than most citrus stuff on the market, and I'm totally, totally content with that. This is juicy, crispy (also slightly bitter) grapefruit that jolts the senses, paired with a pungent aromatic spice. Yet, for all of that, it isn't acrid or overkill. This doesn't smell exactly like cannabis, but it does have elements of the herb. I live near a lot of growers, and I'm familiar with the smell both in the air, and smoked (WA state USA yo!). It's a bit prickly, quite green, and borrows from the scent of weed...but it doesn't pass for it to my nose. The thing is, I'm so content with this that I don't even actually care. Did I want a realistic cannabis smell? Yes. Does it matter? Not really. What it actually does smell slightly of to me is petitgrain and pepper. This leans slightly masculine to me (I'm just saying that to explain, not imply who should wear this), and projects well. My Mugler fangirl gauge is rising higher and higher 🪴 📈

Clean, crisp, zesty, juicy grapefruit opening. Super simple and straightforward. First time smelling this it caught me off guard how realistic and pungent the grapefruit is. It smells like freshly peeled off white bits of the grapefruit, as opposed to the flesh of the fruit. It has a smooth, pleasant bitterness in addition to the sweet and acidic aspects. Man this grapefruit note is so addicting I can't stop sniffing my wrist every time I put this on. I personally don't smell the cannabis note that much, if anything it's just a hint. Woody undertone. I personally find this very citrusy but it's interesting that everyone I've shown this to think it smells more woody than citrusy. Great flanker on the OG Mugler Cologne. Fresh, slightly soapy, deliciously zesty, Mugler Fly Away is uplifting, super easy to wear and enjoy especially in the warmer months. But man the cap is such a turnoff, no idea why they chose to put a super cheap feeling plastic cap that screeches every time for an otherwise decent bottle...

Invigorating, fresh grassy scent with a dash of sweetness. Effervescent sparkling quality to it and quite uplifting which is fitting for the name. Price is on par with what youd expect from a perfumer like Mugler given the quality/performance of the juice which is to say it projects well initially but doesnt have the potency to stay long on the skin. Scent is great, performance is only ok. Lasts longer on clothes than skin. I use it as a pre-workout ...gets me going and by the time Im about to break my first sweat it is imhard to perceive. That or Im asnomic to it. Will update with further use. One thing is cetain, I do not regret the purchase. UPDATE 1: After several days of wear, I can say that performance of this in the moderate/temperate Texas winter temperatures is poor. Scent is great but the performance is poor. This remains a pick-me-up scent before a workout as it smells great but dies down very quickly. While I enjoy having tried this, given the performance on skin, I will likely not be purchasing another bottle.

I bought this cologne for my husband; but I often 'borrow' it from him. This is such a beautiful and interesting scent. Although labelled as a 'cologne', it performs better than many EDTs. The list of notes provided above is obviously incomplete; however, the list of main accords is fairly accurate: citrus, aromatic, cannabis, herbal, fresh spicy, green, smoky. I would guess that the actual list of notes contains: grapefruit, lemon, mint, cannabis (not very strong - it serves just to add a bit of kink), vetiver, moss, green tea, fig, coconut milk, pink pepper and some benzoin in the base. The scent is pretty linear and doesn't change much throughout its duration on the skin (I get solid 4-5 hours out of it, and on my hubby's skin it lasts even longer). Anyway, this is such an unfairly neglected little gem. If you love this type of aromatic summery fragrances, then grab this humble beauty while it is still available. I'm gonna buy some backup bottles soon.

Very nice, sharp, tart, pleasantly bitter and effervescent grapefruit scent. In a way that, to me, is similar to the yuzu note in L'Dissey Pour Homme by Issey Miyake. I'm currently test wearing it, and like it so much I immediately bought a full bottle. When I first applied it, it reminded me a little of my green fig scents. Fly Away also, interestingly, reminds me of Zara Ebony Wood. Much different notes but something triggers the unlikely comparison to my nose. I don't get the cannabis note. I have Black Afgano and Maison Martin Margiela's Music Festival, and don't identify anything similar in Fly Away. But I don't have any further experience with cannabis and it's facets. There's also a slight and pleasant creaminess in the drydown unaccounted for in the note listing, as if there were a thin layer of amber or sandalwood. Performance of Fly Away lacks, so spray away. Being very affordable helps.

Blind bought this based on reviews, and quite happy with it. It's a real blast of fresh white grapefruit with lots of bitter pith along with the juice. Then right away under the citrus is a spunky funky herbal blast. The weed note is legit. It's not Smokey at all, and this will only be recognisable to folks who have some experience with fresh ganga or good quality skunk. This could come across a little on the BO spectrum to some. Once it burns down the grapefruit shifts a bit more masculine musky, and the spunky weed note develops into a darker green champhorus herb very similar to fresh thyme. I'm a big fan, but it's not safe for all, and I am conscious of not wanting to wear to work.

Really like this one. Unlike some here, I do get a nice underlying cannabis note. The grapefruit is not heavy. In fact, there is nothing heavy or distasteful at all about this fragrance. My only complaint is that the name is all too fitting. This one sparkles and refreshes for an hour or two at most, then flies away and does not project much. I've tried layering with some longer lasting summer fragrances but I like this on it's own so much that I prefer it solo. It reminds me of some of Guerlain's fresh, summer offerings that are amazing but short lived. This is a light, happy summer affair that you never get over. Kudos to Mugler & Sonia Constant for this

Opens with juicy grapefruit note so realistic I can taste it. An earthy herbal spiciness in the background, which doesn't really smell like cannabis to me. The crisp grapefruit is the star of the show: juicy without being overly sweet or floral, fresh and zingy without any soapiness and a nice spicy / musky base that compliments without complicating. Decent longevity especially for a citrus with a aromatic / woody drydown. Simple and straightforward on it's own. Could also be layered with woody, aromatic, or green fragrances. In any case, a very unique citrus that's perfect for spring and summer. It's a great value as well.

I tried this after sampling Byredo's Open Sky, which is a bit dirter and more masculine. Fly Away is a straightforward combo of bright, juicy greapefruit with earthy and mysterious cannabis notes. The scent profile these create is familiar yet unique, the the cannabis note is earth but reminds me of freshly picked purple buds, fragrant and green with an edge rather than dirty and smoky. I've been combining with salty aromatics (Finery After the Rain) and succulent fruity scents (Dossier Fruity Honey) to lovely effect - the lingering cannabis note adds a lovely dimension to my scent cloud.

Imagine pilling ripe, and refreshing grapefruits, sitting on the balcony on a nice sunny day, the weather is just perfect, you can smell the fresh air, with the greeness of nature, as the trees dance in the wind. Your friend comes and sit across to you with a joint of sour diesel, but does not spark it yet. This is exactly how it smells like. P.s if you get this thinking youll smell like you just smoked weed... you won't find it in any fregrance. It has green notes that are trying to replicated the same nuances you get smelling fresh weed plants.

This and Alien are my favorite Mugler fragrances ❤️ I love how it starts with a realistic bitter grapefruit note. It’s almost like someone cut open a ripe grapefruit and squirted some fresh lemon juice onto it. Another thing that I liked about this scent is how the cannabis note isn’t obnoxiously taking over everything; instead it lends a pleasant herbal sensation that works great with the tart grapefruit. You can actually wear this to a work (if you work somewhere more liberal) without getting the side eye from your coworkers 😂

This is essentially grapefruit peel with an herbal vibe. It reminds me of Eau d'orange verte by Hermes, except that the latter uses orange instead of grapefruit. It feels like as if shreds of grapefruit peel and some fresh, green herbs are crushed together to make this perfume. The hemp note has enough presence to balance the citrus notes of grapefruit, which could easily remind people of cleaning products or flavored drinks. Projection is moderate, and longevity is about 6 hours. Perfect for a summer day!

First sniff: mmmm really zesty summer orangey citrus Second sniff: God I love it! there’s depth to it. 90’s. Youth. Summer. Freedom. Third: This is kicking my olfactory sense up to euphoria level for sure, this is a very solid release, I want to keep it mommy. I pick up some spicy medicinal note beneath it all. Like Olibanum or the Cypriol oil type found in Dunhill century. This is a mood elevating pick-me-up for sunny spring and summer. Or for dark times when you want to have sunshine in a bottle.

Smells great and different from any other cologne type scent. The fruity/citrus green mix is great. I do not think thats cannabis to be honest and im glad its not because its something i would wear anywhere even to work. The green note seems like some type of herbal mix to me. Something like eucalyptus and maybe rosemary. At first reminded me of something foresty like pine but deff more of a eucalyptus. The last thing this smells like to me is cannabis but great all the same.

This is a superb grapefruit : very natural smelling, tart and sour at first, it develops then into a sweeter, almost sugary type of pomelo. It's green too, almost earthy at the beginning, but again, the earthiness tends to reduce and the green aspect of the fragrance takes a lighter hue. I love its name for that : at first, it feels like this fragrance emerges from plants and the ground, and it gets airier, almost ozonic, as if it tried to reach the sky as times passes.

This really does have an effervescent quality to it! This is unexpected and I ADORE the cannabis note. It's green and a little earthy with a peppery edge. I think this is a nice thing to spritz on when you're feeling fun, or when you need a nice pick me up. DISCLAIMER: I am an avid and daily user of cannabis and this is the freshest, most light cannabis and it's not skunks either!
