Composition
Created in 2001 by Alberto Morillas, Mugler Cologne was Thierry Mugler's attempt to bottle the scent of a Moroccan soap he loved. Sharp, clear citrus notes of neroli, bergamot and petitgrain open the scent, followed by a mysterious heart and a base of white musk. It is the house's icon of soapy-clean, unisex freshness.
This is the smell of a Moroccan hammam scrubbed clean with white soap — that is literally the story Mugler was chasing, and somehow it works. Sharp bergamot and petitgrain snap like cold water on hot stone, the neroli blooms clean and soapy, and the African orange flower keeps it from ever smelling like a cleaning product. It is green, citrusy, transparent. The drydown is just warm skin and soft musk, like stepping out of the steam room into white towels. Nothing here performs; everything refreshes. I reach for this on mornings when Delhi's heat is already winning by 9am. Beginner-friendly.
