Mustang

Mustang, to me, is the little brother of Michael by Michael Kors. It is less complex than Michael, but that doesn't mean it is any less of a good scent. I bought Mustang and Michael because they are two, of very few, that have a pipe tobacco note (lots have cigar notes, few have pipe). It opens with a citrus and ginger enhanced lavender, with the pipe tobacco playing a key role. This startup accord hangs on for a long time and then a touch of cedar starts to come through. It's a little bit linear in the top and mid notes, until the base starts to emerge. The dry down sweetens the fading top notes a little with patchouli and the amber comes through lightly well into the base. I don't get any Fir notes, which is good for me because I don't like strong evergreen notes in a cologne. If Fir is there, it's very subtle and may just strengthen the heart. Mustang could be worn by any age group, while Michael, a "boozy" scent, is a "Men only, please" type of fragrance. Mustang is good for everyday/weekend casual wear, but could also be worn to the office because it doesn't smell like any alcoholic beverages. The top and mid notes are strong for almost an hour, and the whole thing lasts a little less than average. On me, it lasts almost 4 hours (I consider average to be between 4 and 6 hours). I like Mustang, and I'm anticipating another good scent when the new Mustang Blue is available in my area.

This is a very, very nice cologne, especially for the price. The gift set was on sale for only $10 at Gordman's. I smelled it and couldn't understand how it was so cheap! Put this in a Burberry bottle and it would be a bestseller. I bought the gift set for my brother. At the store I sprayed the set with the tester so that (ideally) he'd be able to decide if he liked it before opening it. I started getting compliments immediately - from the woman at the checkout, to everyone in the family when I brought the gift set home. It's a very heavy, masculine scent with lots of musk and that LOVELY undertone of tobacco. No one in my family smokes, but this scent is something we can all enjoy. Needless to say, my brother absolutely loved it, and the smell stayed with the box until I gave him the gift a few weeks later.

BEAST!!!!!!!! This is the only word to describe mustang by Estee lauder. You cannot in any shape form or fashion go wrong with this one. Smells amazing, has great sillage, and great longevity. I walked into the daycare to drop the kids off and the sitter says to me: Excuse me sir can I ask you a personal question? Sure. she says, this may sound random but I just want to tell you that you smell so good....lol I thanked her and then she says, I bet you get that alot don't you? I said well I do like to smell good. I thanked her for her encouragement and walked out. Got back to the car and smiled because I sprayed tadah Mustang by estee lauder on before I left the house. Great cologne for the price and the smell. If you see this one buy it. I highly recommend it.

In the perfume smell I found a signature that is perfect for me and love it! I love every element of ingredients! Full of harmony. Sillage is not very strong, but that's not the goal ...... Since my 40+ age group, not the current scents are my favorites! Mustang is a classic and yet timeless fragrance! James Dean (favorite actor) comes to mind when wearing the scent, and she was Porsche fan! Perhaps the feeling of freedom, perhaps the car or the rebel and bohemian lifestyle ... I do not know. But very well symbolize the horse - Mustang - this world ......... Let me note here that the Porsche crest is "horse" is! Great aroma and a nice work, "car" company. Excellent price / performance ratio !! I will always keep him at home !!!

Surprisingly subtle, gentle, and transparent for a "Mustang." Effervescent lemon-ginger accord to start, with a long-lasting, ginger-tinged tobacco, leather, cedar mid-base. Very versatile and soothing.

I found Mustang Eau De Toilette Pour Homme at Marshalls for $9.99. For this price I figured I had nothing to loose(I also got Mustang Sport for the same price). It is a new bottle with new packaging that actually has the Ford logo on the box and bottle. The old packaging did not as far as I can tell by the picture above. Also, no more tin box, and the cap is black and silver in a racing flag check. It is made in America by First American Brands, Inc. As far as the scent, I am not going to try to pick it apart and disect it; but I don't get any individual notes. It is long lasting and has decent projection. At first it reminds me more of Calvin Klein Eternity than the current formulation of CK Eternity does. The scent is not linear. It turns into a woody and spicy scent that calls to mind Chanel Platinum Egoiste after a couple of hours. Not bad, and it last longer than fragrances I've paid much more for. If you don't have Eternity or Platinum Egoiste this is a good cheap alternative. I'm not sure when I will actually wear this, but I'm keeping it for very casual days.

Picked this up at Ross for only $10 for the 3.4 bottle size. I got the new bottle style that looks different than the picture on this site. Actually for the very low price I paid, Ford Mustang turned out to be a great fragrance! It has that kind of traditional masculine cologne vibe, but at the same time is not too strong. Admittedly this cologne is quite "generic" and will not win any awards for originality, but that was not what I was looking for. For spritzing on before work, school, heading out to the mall, or possibly even a casual date, this juice will suffice just fine. Cedar, woods, and tobacco are the notes that come to my mind when smell ing this. Projection and longevity are both above average and this fragrance lasts me all day. As a bonus this stuff is made by Estee Lauder so you know it is good quality. I am not into cars at all, but this stuff smells great! Definitely an underrated gem and a strong contender for my signature daily wear scent.

I had a few reservations about buying a car fragrance. The idea seemed odd to me. But the price wasn't bad, so I figured what the heck. Fairly common "woody spicy" fragrance that can be compared to a number of its contemporaries. The whole cedar-wood thing is becoming a tad overplayed. On first spray the top notes are present but not overbearing, a bit citrusy with a hint of ginger, light and fresh, it's altogether not bad at all. It's fairly smooth and even-keeled. In the drydown it becomes a simple but pleasant woodsy tobacco, nothing too complicated. Again, smooth, clean and....elegant? Can I use that word on a 15$ fragrance based on America's #1 selling ponycar? I guess I can. Projection and sillage are moderate, it does not generate a lot of drama but I've gotten some compliments from people who have gotten close enough to get a good whiff. Longevity is so-so, 6-7 hours Presentable.

This was one of my first purchases since then, and I simply couldn't write a review about. So, I left it forgotten in the wardrobe. Good for you to have a time to use and try other things, to realize you like that one. At that time I had (at least I thought I had) an issue with something that I thought could be put in your car (or a Mustang), like an oil, but far from that. I don't get the ginger at the point of say "ginger"(thanks), and all the other things together makes a scent which you don't mess with anything feminine at all. The sweetness doesn't have anything to do with candies or flowers. For me a very good scent, another one that I can not dislike

It smells fresh and clean, to me it's got quite a sporty mature scent. Great for an everyday, anytime, no nonsense spray and forget about it type of scent that's quite subtle but there all the same. Not too much lemon or pine smell with a great underlying subtle lavender and tobacco, the ginger is just great. An all round really nice blend I could recommend for almost anyone. Bottom line is, it's just nice, simple and fresh and not overpowering with lavender and amber teaming up for a finale pleasant dry down that makes for a nice cozy skin scent that lasts a little longer. Glad I have it.

I could cry. Such ingrediants, such combination, smells great fresh out of the bottle. Immediate hit of being in the front of a classic 1950's or 1960's motor. Leather, wood, lemon, a touch of dads spice, mums lavender, and a fresh pack of Chesterfields just opened - a perfect picture. The downside is that the scent is a one hit wonder, it really does lack depth. I do like the fragrance, it's good enough for a cheap cologne for a few pounds or dollars, certainly not for the RRP originally set against it.

Got as a stocking stuffer back when I was a teen but still holds up today. Very pleasant, masculine, citrusy oranges, cedar, amber with fine aged tobacco mixed in. Nothing about it is overly offensive and is very agreeable. Drydown has the more citrusy, fresh scents fade to the background and the more leathery, amber, aged tobacco scent come forward. Reminds me of a new car smell on a wooden dashboard. Full sized bottles can be had for cheap, definitely worth a blind buy. Highly recommended.

I only have the aftershave of this little gem, but it has sufficient strength to review it. The ginger opening is fantastic and rich, it is balanced with the lemon. The sweetness and spiciness is just right and underpinned by the tobacco and woody notes. It is a lively and bright fragrance like the car it represents.

It would not be surprising if this becomes a minor classic. Gym bag, office, friends, coffee... it goes with almost everything informal. It's clean. It's interesting. It lasts 15 hours. One or two sprays is enough. It's inexpensive. It's got a lot going for it.

The car is BEAST but certainly not this fragrance. The opening smells cheap but the dry-down smells ok. I like this fragrance in a cool spring late afternoon.

got it for the car brand thats about it smells ok its a cheap perfume to wear day to day to strong if you ask me

Generic, but made well. Not something I'd go buying for myself (my boss gave me a 50ml as a gift, lol) but it's not horrible. It's got a dense smell that makes me want to turn my head. Like Adidas Victory League, but not as bad. A suggestion for anyone who's got dust gathering on theirs: Normally, I hate it. But today it's been performing great; so I'm keeping it longer. I think it's best during this weird 'winter is over but spring ain't quite here yet' season.

Meh. Save your money. I thought it would have been better than it is. Someone said it smells like a weak Michael Kors - it does barely - I was severely disappointed.

I'm a tobacco fragrance fan, though I don't like all of them. I do like Kors' Michael for Men, which Mustang most closely resembles. However, I do think that they are different enough so that if you like these kinds of fragrances you might want to own own both. Mustang would be for warmer weather and the daytime, whereas MfM would be for cooler weather and nights. At this point, I'd have to say that I prefer MfM because it has a richness and depth that Mustang does not, though Mustang has it's own interesting qualities (they are lighter, perhaps due to ginger, juniper, and a little lemon). A very good tobacco "cheapo," though you can often get MfM on ebay cheaply if you have patience. In either case, don't expect the usual "fresh" fragrance; these both have more of a "mature" quality, and of course a lot of people today don't want to smell even a hint of tobacco, regardless of the source. If you want a "light" version of Havana, give this one a try. Another way to think about it is as a simplied Uomo? Moschino, with some mild tobacco included. UPDATE: Far into the drydown, there is a really "deep" quality with the tobacco note playing a prominent role. It has a kind of earthy, barren feel that I actually like a lot, sort of niche-like but not as strong as you would expect in a niche fragrance. I think there's a little ginger that's providing just a bit of lightness. At this point, it's certainly different enough from MfM and bottle worthy to me, especially at current prices. Thankfully, I don't get strong patchouli, which I don't like if it's not faint, and the cedar note is subtle (the new chemicals being used to create a cedar effect can be really harsh). Lastly, the scientific name for oakmoss is listed as an ingredient, so it's odd that this is not said to be one of the notes. UPDATE #2: Another wearing and I'm now perceiving the drydown as closer to Uomo? Moschino, though still with some Michael for Men. I got a bit bored with it and layered on some Shalimar EdT, and it was much more interesting.

I always love cars. Even though, car fragrances are tacky, I still find myself collecting them. This Mustang smells quite good. I definitely smell sweet and spicy combo from ginger and lemon; making the scent very appealing to most people. I also smell tabacco blossom that is slightly sweet and aromatic. It's not exactly smoky but it's kinda dry here. And for cedar, I have no idea where it is. Juniper and musk are at the base as expected but it's still all about that nice tabacco blossom. Note: it doesn't smell like smokey cigarette. Overall, I find the scent very appealing to most men. It doesn't smell cheap. Great for a holiday and birthday gift, especially for those who loves cars. By far, this one beats the silly Corvette cologne (maybe the Hummer too), and don't forget it was created by Estee Lauder, so you get a lot for the money. Still my ultimate car fragrance is the Bugatti, but why does it have to be so expensive?! (T~T) I almost forgot to mention that the spray nozzle is superb. I mean it has a serious "Direct Injection" going on. With just a little press, it sprays out quite a lot and evenly. Porsche The Essence should learn from this and get theirs replaced! Thanks gypsy parfumista for this gift. My first Mustang ever! Literally...
