Simallair to Mugler Cologne?

Thread Starter 
Smelled Mugler Cologne for the first time and I became instantly in love.
But the love faded away .... after fifteen minutes.
The wonderful citrus opening disappeared just like that.

So can anyone recommend a high quality citrus scent similar to the opening of Mugler Cologne?

If you're talking about the top notes, how about Eau Savage

OV is extremely similar.

A really great one I am enthralled with lately is Prada Infusion d'Homme. GREAT scent. You HAVE to check it out.

Essenza di Zegna shares many qualities with Mugler Cologne. Wonderful citrus opening, vetiver-y dry down. In fact, EdZ has overtaken and replaced MC in my wardrobe as my go-to-guy for any and all occasions. Before EdZ, when I could not decide on what to wear, MC always fit, but EdZ (IMO) does the same thing better than MC...at least for me.

I do agrre with the OV comparison. However, I found Iskander from Parfum d'Empire belonging to the same class of scents as Mugler Cologne, longevity being much better. Give it a shot.

Oddly or not, the traditional "old-school" Eaux de Cologne, by venerable and long-standing houses like ADP, Rance 1795, Acqua di Genova, Carthusia, Farina Gegenuber any many others.

Lacoste Booster is nice and shares some notes with MC but also fades quickly.

Haven't tried Mugler Cologne but I hear people say that it's similar to Paul Smith Story so I think you might want to give it a try

I remember there was some talk on the board about one of the Kilian's being very similar to Mugler Cologne.....I can't seem to place which one was it though...

Perhaps someone can recall and mention it here...Thanks

Just get a big bottle and spray it 4 times until you can see the the wetness on your skin. Mugler really does last, I've smelled it after my daily work shift @ 8 PM.
