Supra Floral

I love a good purple flower fragrance as I wear Chloe Love and Ombre Hyacinth. I am a Mugler fan so I assumed this would be an instant love, so I blind bought it. When I opened it and gave it a spray, I immediately thought I bought a bad bottle. I found it harsh, bitter, and it was nothing like how I imagined it would be. Because I purchased it from an overseas seller there was no way I could return it. Disappointed, I kept it in my closet for months. One day one a whim, I took it out and gave it a full four sprays. Finally I got this. What starts out a bit harsh, softens down to a really beautiful fragrance. The hyacinth is not floral and sweet but fresh and green. The incense is not smokey but cool and gives this a bitter but polished edge that is elegant and refined. I don't detect any amber but maybe it is well blended enough to gives this the beautiful effect this has. Overall, this is a clean, dry and very polished fragrance that is like nothing else I have tried. Perfectly unisex, but maybe runs slightly masculine as there is nothing flowery or sweet about this. Longevity is off the charts. Four sprays are more than enough as will last all day into the night. What stared off as a disappointment turned out to be one of my favorites. Discontinued, but well worth tracking down. One truly great fragrance.

My GF is going to Mexico for Xmas and I wanted to give her somethong that's not too cloying but it makes enough of statement. When she passes someone the purfume gives that floral/warm tone from amber. I must admit I don't smell any insense..maybe my nose meter is beginning to fail me..doubt it. As a guy, I also pickup some sorta powdery vib, it adds to the floral notes. I wanted her to try out before buying it, so I was able to retrieve a sample. Instead of giving her the sample and the vile breaks or spills..I tried something different. I bought a small tub of Vaseline and heated it until it was liquid. I poured the purfume and mixed it up. She can carry it around in her purse, dab some on around her neck, chest and arms. The gel will help to keep it on her skin longer. A 5ml will equal to a 30ml bottle by the time she finishes it. As a spray, you always loose some in the air. As a gel, as she spreading it on her skin, very little to none will be lost. Much more effective as a gel, you have less a chance of it spilling in her purse. If she enjoys the purfume, I'll take the time to make batches using petroleum gel. Purfume is perfect for summer day or night ware. 8/10

Hyacinth was one of Elizabeth Taylors favorite flower. Its a luxe flower. Hyacinth is the star in this Supra Bouquet. Hyacinth is done with a nod to other classic fragrances that featured the flower, greeness of the stem, like YSL Y. We dont get a lot of hyacinth in perfumes of today,so this is a luxurious, pared down, almost soliflore on hyacinth with the addition of incense and amber, which hyacinth is not normally combined with is what makes this modern and unique. Hyacinth starts out blooming a mild floral scent then it grows into its power as it opens. They captured that trait in Supra Bouquet. Its a refined Alien idea. This could be Aliens mother. It doesnt screech out at you in the opening like the jasmine does in Alien. Supreme is refined, smooth, grand dame in a modern way. Lovely idea on this. :) Full bottle worthy.

Amber, incense, and sweet floral. I sense original angel with amber, and incense. It has dark sweetness with caramel coffee. The floral is weird but not dominant as it is voted here, so it's not hyacinth. It's nice but it's almost cloyingly sweet. Edit (6th Sept 2022) OH MY..... The dry down is mesmerizing! i get that tobacco incense with a touch of hazy sweetness added to it. the tobacco dust is mixed with the harsh incense creating a heavy smoke that conquers the scene! it is like that smoke that appears in a dark ally and right after few seconds the villain comes out of the smoke, now "Supra Flora" is the smoke in that scene. Beautiful... It is heavy indeed, but that what makes it a bit tiring to own a full bottle of it as a single pray i think would be extremely enough to enjoy that scene. Beautiful.

I do enjoy this one almost as much as "Cuir Impertinent". This creation reminds me very much of "Cristalle" by CHANEL, albeit this one is harsher, greener and more screechy than the former that is a definite classic and much more creamy, powdery in the drydown. If you like the slightly medicinal (bitter) green note of broken tulip stems, you will like this! Not ground-breakingly new but rather good! 7/10. A green floral, crisp bomb that will surely wake you up in the morning!!

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the hyacinth and amber notes worked together; they create something very soothing yet complex. I think there may be some subtle hints of citrus notes present as well because I keep smelling them occasionally. Wearing this during a cold winter day was like being wrapped in a warm blanket fresh out of the wash 😌

What a realistic hyacinth. It’s absolutely lovely!

It's composed of hyacinth, amber and oud

So...I get a slightly peculiar effect from this perfume, but I think it's pretty good on the whole. Hyacinths are something I have grown up with and my mum always has them in the porch as you enter her house. Sometimes (in fact most of the time) the smell is overwhelming, very 'wet floral' I like to call it and pretty unique, instantly recognisable in perfumes I find. My dear friend at the Mugler counter challenged me to guess what the floral component of this perfume was, possibly thinking it was hard to guess and was pretty astonished when I got it right. It's clearly there, especially in the opening but frankly it's not the most hyacinth heavy fragrance I've ever smelled by a long chalk and I'm glad to be honest. The balance of this fragrance is great because the base comes through right from the start, making supra floral, less floral in eventuality. Now although oud is a broad church and there seems to be an obsession with calling out fragrances for not having oud in them when stated in the notes etc...when in actualy fact it manifests quite differently depending on the many factors. I thought this has the dry smokey vetiver, earthy patchouli and licorice quality sometimes I associate with oud. I had no idea what the notes were before trying or wearing but noted that it smells quite a bit like the blackcurrant/licorice combo I get from Versace Man, Versace Oud Noir and CdG Wonderoud. Without an overt resinous or 'barnyard' oud I have to make assumptions from the associated perfumes that there is indeed oud in this. I get the peppery spice and clearly the colour purple is evoked by this fragrance which perfectly matches the long lasting and quite pleasurable floral offering of hyacinth, which mellows throughout. It's a good perfume, well thought out, a little hair raising at first thinking I smelled what I associate with being feminine, but that soon subsides and supra floral become more woody.

I can see the passing resemblance of Supra Floral to Chanel No 19 EDT, but I vastly prefer Supra Floral. Whereas I enjoyed the opening of Chanel No 19, and grew to loathe it in the drydown, it’s more of the opposite with Supra Floral. The opening is a VERY strong green incense–while incense is indeed one of my favorite notes, it’s almost overwhelming here. As it begins to dry down, the incense behaves far better, and some sweetness from the amber starts to kick in to tame things down several notches. The hyacinth here is my favorite from any that I’ve tried, which is admittedly less than a dozen. While relatively simple in its composition, the overall fragrance smells much deeper and well blended than just three notes. The best season for Supra Floral is definitely the spring, but I think it could hold its own in warmer Autumn/Fall as well. I had my official sample from another Mugler order for over a year. Once I finally tried it, I went from an official sample vial to a full 80 mL bottle to a second hand 500 mL refiller in the span of 24 hours. That is to say, I might have gone overboard and I have more than a lifetime supply of this scent. Because of that, I am decanting into 30 mL bottles at near cost for those in the CONUS–feel free to PM.

I was super excited to see the hyacinth note here. I love in the spring, when I walk into my grocery store right after they get the first hyacinths of the year. They're such a potent, powerful flower, I can always smell them as soon as I walk in. This is definitely NOT what an actual hyacinth smells like, but it does somewhat capture that heady floral, potency of the flower. Like a synthesized hyacinth. It's similar enough that I think the listed hyacinth note is justified. And the incense is tough to pick out, it sort of combines with the hyacinth and gives it a smoky tinge. I can definitely see where others have compared it to Alien. Unfortunately, on me, the hyacinth doesn't last very long. Barely an hour. Then it fades and leaves the amber behind, which is pleasant, but for the price, I was hoping the hyacinth would've stuck around a little longer. There's not much projection to speak of, either. Like Cuir Impertinent, it's a lovely scent, but for as prohibitively expensive as it is, it's just not worth it.

I was surprised when I found out about the notes. To me Supra Floral opens with a difficult combination of scents, green and powdery. It slowly grows bringing waves of raw green sap with slightly sweet musk and a floral note that I can't distinguish. In general I see this as a more feminine fragrance, although that notion is only based on what I consider "feminine", same as the nonsense notion that blue is for boys and pink is for girls. For sure this is an interesting perfume. I didn't detect the incense, but the amber was more obvious towards the drydown.

It's an amazing interpretation of hyacinth; it's sharp and green-floral, yet slightly warm and sweet underneath. I guess the oud was used in a similar fashion as Tom Ford's Plum Japonai with tart bitterness (as opposed to the resinous animalic woody complexion that's instantly recognizable). Unfortunately the semisweet floral tone slowly fades away, making it less desirable as time passes. *The website changed it to hyacinth, amber, and incense by the way :o Also, I think the name would've been a lot catchier if it was "Supra Flora“

Very sophisticated. A little floral, a little incense. I don’t get the amber as an independent note but I think that’s what’s giving the underlying sweetness. I do not find it sweet but definitely rich. A little sourness is present but not unpleasant. I don’t find it projects or lasts too long. *my sample is directly from Mugler with an order I placed. I have cool, oily skin. Weather is 82 F, moderate humidity.

A Beautiful composition. It's mostly springtime in a bottle but finishes with a warm ambery sweet promise of the summer. I would buy this without a second thought. It smells chic and expensive, no cheap tricks or unnecessary trinkets. But I can't ignore the feeling it's monsieur Polge's recommendation letter to Chanel. Or his love letter to N:19. He got the job. And I already have N:19. ****(*)

I like it, and it reminds me of an Avon perfume from the 80s. I rediscovered this sitting on a shelf and thought today's the day to try it and it's nice. It's energizing to me.

It opens with a blast of clean, green soap then becomes sweeter as it dries down. While brisk at the beginning it warms at bit as it goes. I wouldn't call it loud but it's not meek either. I am still looking for the smoke to appear... Well blended but not my style. Perfectly unisex depending on what you like.

Opens with fresh galbanum immediately followed by something sweet and a bit tangy like a broken flower stem, that turns into something a bit more bitter. The floral notes listed as hyacinth are a mix of rose, jasmine, orange flower, peony, lilac, cassis and a sweet lily-of-the-valley accord. I smell hints of something sharp underneath as well. The bouquet blooms towards a more dark approach, the flowers get heavier and the base gets darker. Amber and coumarin notes appear and grow a bit in strength. Sillage starts soft and goes moderate to heavy as the scent progresses, longevity is moderate. In combination with the green galbanum, this floral mix smells like spring and actually does remind me of the smell of hyacinths, but never does get close to the actual flower on my skin. I do like this scent, spring flowers in a bottle. I don't get any incense at all and the amber does not appear until after the opening. I probably won't be wearing this due to a sharp note underneath (probably the incense that doesn't work on my skin). If you like big florals, give this one a try. Don't overspray, this one's a grower!

I just received my samples from Quebec! Supra Floral is VERY green and grassy, right away it makes me think of Sisley Campagne, it is a chypre floral, more chypre than floral, the hyacinth comes loud and clear..I wonder if the aoud gives it that earthy grassy vibe..I expected more floral, in a prettier way..I think maybe a guy could pull it off,which is for me a big no no...not my cup of tea. It is quite feminine after a while, although it keeps a bitter edge, and will have its appeal.. In the end after retrying my samples, I will add this is definitely feminine..
