Mystic Aromatic

Holy Toledo I’m really vibing with this fragrance. Ok, so some disclaimers— I’m a Mugler fan, so I generally have positive spins on their frags, but I’m also honest in my experience. Also, this initial entry is based on my first impressions. I really really 💕 love and am obsessed 🤩 with the initial spray on paper, air, and my skin. To me it smells 🪴 herbally sweet and fresh🪴. I have sweet grass braids gifted to me by a Blackfoot Elder, which means a lot to me, and this is what this fragrance smells to me. I recognized that there is no sweet grass notes listed, so I looked up what Clary sage smells like and this is likely what I’m picking up (per Fragrantica: “ Odor profile: A soft and sweet herbaceous fragrance with lavender, balsamic, and amber musky nuances”). Admittedly for silage and longevity, I don’t think either score high as I’ve only been wearing it for less than two hours and seems to be a skin scent. So next time I’ll spray the back of my neck I can smell it longer bc my nose doesn’t get used to it as fast. Or maybe that’s just the dry down when it settles. I’ll have to try it more to figure that one out. I’ve purchased several from the Les Exceptions line, and would say that this fits with their overall unisex vibe. I would also describe Mystic Aromatic as sophisticated and understated. Sophistication is not quite a characteristic I would associate myself with, yet bc i feel like it’s the antithesis of my “norm”, I love it.

My very first review of a fragrance, since I thought it was worth writing about. Mystic Aromatic to me smells like an enchanted forest. Something out of a movie or a video game. It’s pleasant, green, and fresh. I need to wear it a few more times to get an idea for sillage and longevity but I’d say moderate for both from my first few wears. It leans masculine I’d say a bit but could definitely be worn by a female with this kind of taste. A true sleeper pick from this lesser known line by Muglar.

This fragrance has grown on me more and more. It's quite different to anything else I own being green, spicy, fresh with a slight floral in the background, all held together by the soft warmth of the Peru balsam. It's long lasting with moderate to soft projection. I've had several compliments whilst wearing it and it's versatility means it can be suitable for different occasions. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea but well worth a try.

This smells exactly like Yerba mate / peppermint but classy. Great sillage and power on my skin.

Pleasant and interesting, especially in the opening! I get sweet, green herbs and soft, powdery freshness, with an almost dainty floral undertone. It's like a lovingly tended herb garden where the beds of fresh herbs are interspersed with patches of sweet grass and flowering clover. If my skin didn't suck the moisture out of every aromatic fragrance it meets, I think I would really love this. I love the way it opens, fresh and tenderly green, like sweet mint, and a hint of tangy basil. However, on me, the crispness of the opening very quickly fades. The scent itself remains fresh and sweetly herbal, but the texture dries down into a musky powder, with a papery undertone like cedarwood. Like the watercolor memory of a herb garden.
