Mugler Cologne

Mugler Cologne (both the original and Come Together) wins hands down as my all-time favorite fragrance. I literally feel joy when I spray it on my skin and clothes, and I have no trouble believing there’s something deeply sensual about it—even though it’s so delicate it could never offend anyone. The opening notes are citrusy and grassy, but soon the soapy musk emerges, along with an evident woody vetiver base—although vetiver is not listed among the notes, it’s absolutely and unmistakably present. The story of this fragrance is described in many other reviews, and it’s truly baffling and incomprehensible that L’Oréal makes it so hard to find, even though it’s still in their catalog. And yes, let’s be honest: this is clearly where Original Vetiver was born. Let’s not kid ourselves—the similarities are obvious, even though Original Vetiver is a much more elegant, refined, and polished scent. Come Together is slightly reformulated, with more simplicity and linearity compared to the 2001 original, leaning more towards the grassy note. It’s less spicy—if that makes sense as a description. But this is a difference only noticeable to someone who, like me, has used liters of this fragrance. Mugler Cologne (tanto el original como Come Together) gana sin lugar a dudas como mi perfume favorito de todos los tiempos. Literalmente disfruto cuando lo pulverizo sobre la piel y la ropa, y no me cuesta creer que tenga algo profundamente sensual, aunque sea tan delicado que no podría ofender a nadie. Las notas de salida son cítricas y herbáceas, pero pronto aparece la nota jabonosa del almizcle, junto con un evidente fondo amaderado de vetiver—aunque no figure en la lista de notas, está claramente y absolutamente presente. La historia de este perfume está descrita en muchos otros comentarios, y resulta realmente desconcertante e incomprensible que L’Oréal lo haga tan difícil de encontrar, aunque siga presente en catálogo. Y sí, seamos honestos: de aquí nació claramente Original Vetiver. No nos engañemos—las similitudes son evidentes, aunque Original Vetiver sea un perfume mucho más elegante, refinado y pulido. Come Together está ligeramente reformulado, con más simplicidad y linealidad en comparación con el original de 2001, inclinándose más hacia la nota herbácea. Es menos especiado—si sirve como descripción. Pero esta es una diferencia que solo nota quien, como yo, ha usado litros de este perfume. Mugler Cologne ( sia l’originale che Come Together) vince a mani basse come il mio profumo preferito di sempre. Godo letteralmente quando lo spruzzo sulla pelle e nei vestiti e non faccio fatica a credere che ci sia qualcosa di molto sessuale in questo profumo, anche se è un profumo talmente delicato che non potrebbe offendere nessuno. Le note di apertura sono citriche ed erbose, ma presto compare la nota saponosa del muschio ed un evidente fondo legnoso di vetiver anche se non dichiarato nelle note, ma evidentemente ed assolutamente presente. La storia del profumo è descritta in molti altri commenti ed è davvero sconcertante ed incomprensibile che l’Oreal lo renda molto difficile da reperire, sebbene sempre presente a catalogo. E poi si, bisogna essere onesti: è davvero ciò da cui è nato Original Vetiver. Non prendiamoci in giro perché le similitudini sono evidenti, sebbene Original Vetiver sia un profumo molto più elegante, raffinato e rifinito. Come Together è leggermente riformulato, con una maggiore semplicità e linearità rispetto all’originale del 2001, virando più verso la nota erbosa. E’ meno piccante, se può rendere come descrizione. Ma si tratta di una differenza che nota solo chi ha usato litri di questo profumo come me.

(Review of a 2001 bottle) Mugler Cologne is a very simple, very pretty, and very good yet very typical modern-take on the cologne. Full stop. I could leave my thoughts there, and simply point you to the pyramid, and anyone well experienced and educated on the citrusy floral cologne varietal would be able to guess what it smells like with stupendous accuracy... aside from one aspect, maybe. Bergamot, neroli, and petitgrain start the perfume. The metallic and blindingly bright knife-edge orange glow of the neroli is lovely, and supported very well by the young-green-woody and citrusy petitgrain. It is worth noting that the shelf life of these materials is not great; they have lost a fair amount of vocal volume and tenacity in my 25 year old bottle, so vintage hunters need to keep this in mind and make sure to find a bottle with sound provenance. What follows after the top is what follows in all of the million-and-one colognes of this type: florals and herbs. The neroli gives way to a creamy, softly, and sweetly juicy orange blossom. Touches of herbs like basil and thyme are barely able to be pulled. But here comes a neat little twist that makes Cologne stand out, and that’s its “S” accord, which should simply be presumed to mean soap, but that wouldn’t market as well as a “mystery material”, would it.... This is not your modern, scratchy, sharp, synthetic and synthetic-smelling, white soap musk, it smells like a real and luxurious musky floral soap made with the good ol’ stuff. The soapiness in Cologne is about the only atypical part of it in that it doesn’t follow the soapy lavender prescription as does nearly all others preceding it, nor did it go the route of crap soap musks like its contemporaries. It is supple, round, plush, just the right touch of gray animalic musky, and simply smells great. It is cleanliness with a lot of class. Cologne holds here with the musks for the rest of its life. Lovely stuff, but far from novel. The only reason I would recommend this to someone is because they love neroli, orange blossom, and the smell of real musks - which I do, and thusly why I own it. It’s a winning formula, so much so that Frederic Malle would 13-14 years later give Dominique Ropion a ton of money to create a far more luxurious version of this exact formula with Cologne Indelebile, of which I own several vintage bottles of that as well because... well... I just love the neroli/orange blossom and musk combo. Mugler Cologne scratches the itch nicely when I don’t want to reach for the ultra-lux, pricey, and/or niche stuff, and therefore form and functionality are both well covered. Solid work that I thoroughly enjoy wearing.

What can I say about this little rascal? For the review, I am using a newer bottle of Mugler Cologne (formerly 'Come Together') from 2026, sold directly from the UK Mugler website together with the classic tall bottle from 2017. Is it still a good scent? Is it the same as the older batches, pre 2018, pre L'Oreal acquisition? As I own both, I feel I can offer my two cents: I'd say it's 90% as good, and almost the same. The DNA between the two is identical, as you'd expect from a reformulation, with some slight differences in their compositions: Mugler Cologne (2018-present) is grass on citrus. The emphasis is placed on the greenery of the fragrance DNA, with the bergamot and neroli being complementary against the petitgrain and musk to create a safe, fresh and well rounded scent. The citrus is still there, it's just playing second fiddle, losing its spark entirely at times to the warmer weather. Mugler Cologne (pre-2018) on the other hand is citrus on grass. It emphasises that sharp, zingy freshness first and foremost, with bergamot and neroli shining through before the petitgrain and musk arrives to create a more layered and energetic persona. It's a subtle difference, but I believe the devil is in the details here. Many people, myself included, consider the classic formulation to be better by a pinch, as I believe the fragrance envisioned by Alberto Morillas relies heavily on those prominent citrus accords to push the envelope and bring his concept to life; using that sharpness and zest to really saturate the greenery and give it some spunk. It's where the magic lies. It's worth noting that the newer versions of Mugler Cologne, known formerly as "Come Together", became part of a wider "Mugler Cologne Range" designed for layering over one another, which meant the sharper edges of the original formulation had to be smoothed over to accommodate. For this reason, the original formulation is bolder and brighter by design, and why I believe people have observed it to project further and last longer. TL;DR - Rest assured this current iteration of Mugler Cologne will be as you remember, as the DNA at its core remains unchanged and is still that wonderfully bright and retro-funky green scent of springtime and grass that you can wear anytime to feel funky-fresh. The newer batches post L'Oreal have a little less sparkle and a little less nuance than the batches of old, likely in favour of accessibility and diversification, but if that means it'll remain on the shelves this time, then that can't be a bad thing. I still love it, and I'd still highly recommend it!

#133 of My Fragrance Journey - Mugler Cologne: The fragrance that smells like skin, not perfume Some fragrances want to take you somewhere else - a beach, a spice market, some dim-lit bar you've never actually been to. Mugler Cologne doesn't bother with any of that. It just puts you back in the room you're already standing in. First spray and it's almost too clean. Bergamot flashes bright for a second, then drops into a soft, quiet neroli - not the glossy, sun-drenched kind you get from something like Neroli Portofino. Gentler than that. It smells soapy, honestly, in the best way. Like a white T-shirt off warm skin straight out of the shower. Cotton drying on a line. It stops being about the perfume pretty fast and starts being about you. Skin, just better. Give it half an hour, and whatever theatre it had to begin with is gone. The neroli folds into orange blossom - soft, close to the skin, doesn't care what gender you are. Clean without trying to prove it. And then the S molecule shows up, tangled into a damp green musk, and it just - melts into your own heat. Stops feeling like something you put on. Starts feeling like a fact about you. That restraint is the whole point, I think. No twists, no dark turn waiting in the base, no gourmand surprise. Just musk, a little green, warm skin. Confidence that doesn't need an audience. Here's the catch, though - this is not a fragrance for people who want to be smelled from across the room. It doesn't project, it whispers. Close to the skin, gone faster than you'd like if you're used to the modern stuff that fills a hallway. It retreats fast. You have to lean in for it, almost. Which is either intimate or frustrating, depending on what mood you're in that day. It's old and new at once - that classic European cologne shape, citrus up top, easy and bright, but with a musk overdose that feels current. Not glamorous. Not a "moment." Just the very specific pleasure of feeling clean and comfortable in your own skin, nothing extra attached to it. In a year where everything's trying to make a statement, this one just... doesn't. A white tee. Light through a window. Clean skin. Sometimes that's the whole thing. Vibe: fresh out the shower, not trying Performance: close and quiet, gone before you want it to be Fit: wear it when you want to smell like yourself, just cleaner Does it read as confidence to you, or does the lack of projection bother you more than you'd expect?

Ordered from Amazon Germany what from the photo should have been the original Mugler Cologne and bottle, but instead I received the Mugler Cologne Come Together bottle. Unfortunately I was distracted and noticed this only after removing the celophane, opening the box, and seeing the bottle. Used a couple of sprays on me to test it, and also applied on a kitchen paper towel, and left it on a book that has a plastic cover. This is a test I have done repeatedly on many fragrances to check their longevity (among the longest lasting I've tested so far: Bentley Absolute, and Dior Fahrenheit.) I checked the smell on the paper towel for a few consecutive days. Amazingly, and to my surprise, I could still pick up the Come Together fragrance from the center of that paper towel after the second, third, and even fourth day. The vendor contacted me because of my negative review on them. And even if I had removed the cellophane and used a couple of sprays, they were kind enough to accept the return and offer full refund. Because of this, I removed the negative review. The wrong photo is still there on Amazon.de though, but apparently it's something they have already asked Amazon to fix, and it's on Amazon's hands for quite some time already. In any case, I then tried to order again the original Mugler Cologne from another Amazon market vendor hoping to get luckier, and luckily enough, this time I did the original and taller/slimmer Mugler Cologne bottle. Now I did the same sort of test, couple of sprays on the center of the exact same kind of paper towel, and leaving that paper towel resting on a book that has a plastic cover. After the first day already, I barely can pick up the scent from the center of the napkin. To me (again without comparing side-by-side, just from memory, which can be quite misleading) it seems to me the original is more natural smelling, fresher and lighter. Come Together might be longer lasting, but it seemed to me sharper, possibly less natural, more synthetic smelling. Take these impressions with a huge grain of salt, since I am doing so myself. Would like to compare side-by-side but haven't been able to do that so far. PS. Update couple of days later. Actually I can still pick up the scent of the original Mugler Cologne from center of the napkin. Still seems to me the Come Together was more noticeable after this number of days, but of course atomizer differences might play a role. Again side-by-side comparison would be ideal.

I recall smelling this fragrance in the early 2000’s not long after it was released onto the market. It was love at first whiff so when I was in a position to purchase it, I went all out and got the set which came with a small body lotion, body wash a long cylinder glass bottle with I think about 20 or 30 mls of this beauty in it. To me it always smelled fresh, soapy, clean and downright delicious. It sat on my skin for decent few hours before I had to reapply it again. It was very special and I loved it. By the time I had finished the bottle I found it hard to find it again. It was like it was there one minute and then it was gone. Now that it is no longer made, my heart aches for this around spring time when we have just come out of a cold harsh winter. It was the perfect time for it to really show its true colours to me as I could smell the freshness open up more so during this period. It was definitely a daytime fragrance for me and one I wish Demeter or Clean could make playing homage to such a beautiful real Clean fragrance. The neroli and the bergamot sit beautifully together in this fragrance and it’s crafted like a fine milled soap it was just so perfect for my skin tone. Nothing else in a ‘soapy’ range has come close to this beauty on me with the exception of White Linen but that’s a different scent altogether on my skin. I looked on eBay recently for it and was horrified by how much people are selling it for and the just as hefty postage costs. I hope it comes back one day, it was a wonderful gem to have in my perfume collection and one I certainly enjoyed immensely and will never forget. Mugler if you are reading this, 🙏 bring it back PLEASE!!

I first discovered this on another person: I was walking to class behind a man on campus, smelling something so incredibly wonderful that I was fully gasping and sucking up as much air with that smell as I could. It had to be sent down from heaven in a cloud. I caught up to him to ask what kind of cologne he was wearing. Delighted, he said it was just called "Cologne," by Mugler, and it's green. That sounds super easy to find, I thought. (HA!) I finally hunted it down after a year given it was discontinued, and got a bottle. A part of me can die in peace now that I have experienced it and used it for a while. It's green, simple, juicy, fresh, crisp, warm, lush, clean, incredible. It flows in an inviting, comforting way, like a rolling pasture or a clearing in a forest. I know my bottle must be old, but it still is projecting beautifully. I wear it any season, any time of day, any where. As for the name and design: There's something to be said for simplicity and letting the fragrance be honest in that way. I like how straightforward and clear it is. It's an incredibly well-done smell, truly for anyone to enjoy. [I have not tried the "new" formulation for it, but I am hoping to try it and see if it comes anywhere near the original. I've not smelled any of the "Reminds me of" recommendations, but I hope to as well. I have tried Francis Kurkdjian's "Petite Matin," which smells a lot like Cologne, but has a rounder, fuzzier, wheaty body to it. That similarity is probably way off, but it's the only thing I've personally come across that is close.]

Im crazy about the smell of Mugler Cologne. Its probably one of my favorite fragrances, its possibly the most "perfectly simple" warm weather fragrance around. I have a big bottle from the early 2000's and it still smells like new, though i have heard its prone to spoiling for some. This is soapy orange citrus and neroli with a little zing of spice and an aquatic vibe as it dries down. As Greenlight said below, there is certainly vetiver in here, and i think it even contributes to the aquatic thing i get somehow. Just smells amazingly clean, definetely 'just got my hair cut and a hot towel shave, now im putting my suit on' vibes. Or if you are out by the beach or somewhere hot, youre dressed extremely well. In a sense it has an old school vibe, yet it also smells very modern. It is in the end, an extremely classic italian style acqua colonia, just with some twists and a modern base. Unfortunately though....this is one of the worst performing fragrances ive ever used. This truly needs to be taken into account, because its getting expensive if you can find it, and you would need to respray this at LEAST 3 times to finish out a day. It projects good briefly upon spraying, but after an hour its close to the skin. Heat can help bring it back to life, wether body heat or solar heat w.e. I want to wear this all the time, but i have to control myself considering the aforementioned prices these days. If money is no issue to you, you should literally blind buy it right now its so good.

I find the Moroccan soap story very fitting. Although when I smell it, it doesn't remind me of a Moroccan soap, but it takes me to a holiday in the mediterranean. I purchased the small bottle in duty free, used it in Andalusia, Spain. Years later, I purchased the large bottle online, it is refillable; which I appreciate. I find the juice in the smaller bottle slightly more intense. This gives comfort in a hot day. Gives sense of cleanliness and happiness in any day all year round. A very simple and minimal fragrance, but not flat. Nothing is missing! I never spritz this one without getting positive comments from men, women, children, experienced noses, ordinary noses... A true crowd pleaser. But this crowd pleaser has a personality! At home, I use it mainly for the gym, when I go for a run, after a hike, or even simply after shower in the hot summer. I use it everyday when I'm traveling in a warm humid climate. No it doesn't have any resemblance to Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino other than that both have citrus notes, inoffensive and less long lasting. Both are stunning and favourites of mine, they are very different! Cons; No sillage, weak longevity (which is expected of a cologne) Pros; it smells clean and expensive. Unisex. Safe to wear anywhere, anytime of day, any season. Solution; get the big bottle and decant. Carry the decant and reapply on the go. Best scenario; early morning, a loose white linen dress/shirt.

Steamy Cologne (Alberto Morillas, 2001) Scentrack: Fun Lovin’ Criminals – Half a Block Allegedly, the inspiration for this composition was a hotel bar of soap that Thierry Mugler brought from his trip in Morocco. I can sense that specific hotel cleanliness in Mugler Cologne, but this Morillas’ composition is much more than just another soap. In my opinion, Mugler Cologne in among the best composition inside a very rigid, and historically important cologne genre. Other two compositions I admire the most are Vettiveru by Comme des Garcons and l’Eau de Tarocco by Diptyque. Mugler Cologne is a fresh, extremely clean and genderless scent. The composition opens with strong citruses – piercing neroli, bergamot and balanced dose of chemically clean aldehydes. In the body there is a soapy note of white flowers, again a very clean bouquet. The base is made of laundry fresh musk. The special feature of Mugler Cologne is a clean, steamy note of hot iron. Like dressing up a fresh, clean shirt on a sunny morning. I believe that mysterious S-molecule is a Steam, not a Sex molecule of “post-coital liquids” what the rumors say. If you are looking for a happy, clean and reasonably priced cologne look no further. Simple and great stuff for a hot climates. P.S. The retro-futuristic packaging is great, like a part of Captain Kirk's bathroom. Rating: 8/10

From a house that often scares me, I was amazed when discovered this green juice many years ago. I had developed an idea that I was someone not suited to citrus notes; they seemed to go "sour" on my skin after a few hours, especially in very hot weather. So, I was very surprised to learn just how many citrus notes are in this one (though I guess the name should have been a clue) and I think it was when I learned that not all citrus is equal, least of all where my pedantic skin is concerned. Not being one of those fragrance professionals who know the turns of phrase with which scents should be described, my oversimplification to sum it up was "fizzy, green, cream soda". I also suspect there's something unexpectedly Nordic about it , again odd, given the materials. But I noticed that when I was wearing it in Norway and Sweden people would usually make positive comments. And after a while I noted a certain similarity to some of the crisp, clean herbal aromas coming out of their summer kitchens of raw and cold dishes. Please understand that all of this is meant in a hugely positive way: it remains one of my go-to options; the perfect antidote to a sweaty, busy day when you don't want to be the person others move away from in a meeting.

I think I've figured out why there are so many reports of "this lasts so long!" with other reports of "does not last at all!" In my experience, Mugler Cologne lasts super long (like insane longevity for a fresh scent). When I was testing it in the store 2 years ago I got some on my jacket arm by accident and I could smell it for 2 weeks without putting my arm near my nose. I was blown away by the crazy longevity on my jacket. After using it for a while and specifically re-testing it yesterday/today I am now at my conclusion. Last night I put one spray on my arm (skin) at 10pm and today I can still smell it at 2:30pm wafting in the air after I just did a bunch of pushups etc. If I put my nose up to it, it's strong. That's 16 freakin hours. This is the type of scent that can hide out as a skin scent for a while UNTIL it's reactivated by body heat at which point ppl could be like "I thought it was gone but it's 16 hours later and I smell it again! What the heck!?" People who spray it on the back of their neck or somewhere away from their nose might think it's gone but they should try getting their body heat up to see if it starts projecting again.

I'm angry of myself for trying this masterpiece so late but I answer myself why should I ever want to try it?I'm a girly girl and unisex fragrances usually don't attract me.I'm not a citrus fan and I usually don't come close to green scents;these reasons were enough for me to never see a chance to like mugler Cologne and I was right and wrong at the same time.I don't like it.I love it! Well,I know it's citrusy and grassy and definitely unisex.basically I shouldn't like it but how can anybody dislike heaven?! It opens with juicy,fresh bergamot but soon flowers show up and it's juicyness goes away.I love orange flower but mugler Cologne is mostly about neroli.I can smell soft,clean flowers mostly neroli,something citrusy(bergamot and some orange?),very fresh but not sour,soapy musk and a hint of grass.it becomes more and more soapy in time.a light green colored soap.smells so clean and refreshing without having sharpness,sourness or anything overpowering.it's suitable for a very hot and humid summer day when very few fragrances work If you'd like to have a clean,fresh,citrusy-green-soapy scent;mugler Cologne would be a must try for you

Cologne started my journey, so you could say I'm quite biased. Before that, I didn't know many things: that a memory of a soap can be transformed into a scent and transcended through imagination into something bigger and brighter. I didn't know what musk or neroli is, the musk so much resembling warm washed skin without literally being it, the resemblance starting when it actually touches your human skin. The green that is just the right amount to fit the color of the liquid. Also, for me, Cologne is still a shining example of how classics can be re-invented in a futuristic way. Even more so, since this happened in the mass market territory. Not a simple sum of its parts: you can have orange blossom like this in lots of places, the neroli is not unique either, but the tangible musky presence around these simple notes pretty much is. You could also say Alien is just a jasmine scent and you'll be right, but you won't be saying anything, same with Angel. I can't even explain how this stays true to its very classic list of notes and at the same time renders them in an almost futuristic way. A true visionary fragrance.

Why is this usually only making men's lists? And why in the bittersweet world did Mugler EVER discontinue this?! 😢 I do think this is soapy as some claim, but not overwhelmingly so; I think this is CRISP, green, fresh, sparkling. Wonderous. The opening is outstanding, and completely beautiful. I own petitgrain essential oil, but this smells of it without the earthiness. The bergamot is so...bergamot-y - tangy and fabulous. It dries down to a gingery freshness, not utterly unlike Bergamote Calabria, but I think it's even better. Sure, I get really neroli...but I could swear there's ginger in here too. It's perfectly unisex in my mind (who cares though, wear what appeals to you). I don't see this kind of thing ever fading into antiquity, it's a timeless easy choice. It doesn't project a ton, but it lasts around 3 hours before becoming a total skin scent. For the price following discontinuation I won't be purchasing, but I wish I discovered this earlier. I guess it's "one that got away", or rather "never was". At least I've experienced it 🤷♀️

I went to the fragrance department in search of Chanel No 19 Poudree. The girl from the Mugler counter stopped me and asked if I was looking for something specific. I told her and she begged me to try the Mugler Cologne first.. and OMG am I ever glad she did! It didn't stop me from buying the Chanel, but I found another fragrance to love... and I think I might love it even more than the Chanel. They're really only comparable in the sense that they're fresh and green, so it's not like having one means you don't need the other. Mugler Cologne is so clean and fresh. I can't stop smelling my wrists whenever I wear it. It might be the most beautiful soapy fragrance I've ever come across. It's so well done. The citrus isn't overpowering. The floral is neutral enough to keep it unisex. It really is exquisite... and that's saying a lot from me, because I'm not even a huge fan of green scents

Def keeping this "for life" Believe it or not, this is actually my MOST COMPLIMENTED SCENT EVER. I got compliments from my colleagues from work, friends, my parents, and even from my older brother which is super rare. I remember taking the elevator right after I applied the cologne and a chef walks in and she straight up says "HMMMMMM SOMEONE SMELLS GOOOOOD" not knowing the scent was coming from me. Only knock with the scent is the performance, it's just average 4-6 hour but w the scent like this who cares. I recommend everyone this as a "spray and go" scent, if you just want to smell like "you literally came out of the shower" this is the perfect one. Don't be surprised if you're getting compliments, this scent is mass appealing but is so unique and different at the same time. In 3 words: clean, unique, attractive 5/5 always gonna have this in my collection

Love this. You get exactly what you pay for. A clean, fresh fragrance that is perfect for when you want to freshen up. Or any time you want to grab a cologne in passing to make you smell clean. If this is a fragrance you choose to get, for this price, you get exactly that. What you won't get is exceptional performance, although it performs better than I initially expected. I get a good few hours out of it and decent project. That does require 6 sprays or so though. And some help from a little bodylotion. It's fresh, clean, nice. It smells really good. It is perfect for its purpose. It is nothing remarkable or exceptional and wasn't meant to be. Perfectly created fragrance given what it was meant to be at an affordable price. If you like to have a "let me just freshen up a bit" fragrance in your collection, give this one a try.

More than just soap! Mugler Cologne has plenty of layers. First there is a fresh, green, translucent neroli. Then there is a stroooong petitgrain, adding a sharp neon greenness to the scent. It almost smells like freshly snapped foliage. Green green green green. The drydown has the most captivating skin-musk I've smelled in a long time. It's almost like salty skin, very fresh and warm, but not like laundry or any generic soapy skin smell. Mugler Cologne smells oddly organic and real, which is unusual for Muglers as they are generally some level of otherworldly synthetic. For example, Alien's jasmine is synth-y, and A*Men has that rubbery asphalt. It's unisex, maybe leaning feminine as the neroli is prominent. The newer version does not last as long as my older bottle, which lasts all day long with a single spritz.

Probably the best soap-inspired fragrance I've ever tried! Not synthetic or stinging like many other soap fragrances. Literally smells identical to a bar soap, down to the waxiness of a soap base. I've never smelled Moroccan soap, but this fits that description, as this isn't a typical Dove-bar aldehydic smell. You can't really get any more clean than the literal smell of a soap bar. I highly doubt the Moroccan soap bar this was inspired by had Iso-E Super in it, of which there are loads of here. But that doesn't really matter lol. It just adds a velvety-woody feel which totally works and suits this fragrance. It's dosed so high that you can detect it if you know what Iso-E smells like. That's possibly the "secret S molecule" the description talks about.
