I just got this one in the mail and I like it. Easily one of my favorites from Thierry Mugler, next to Pure Malt.
A soapy clean "irish-spring" opening with grassy vetiver undercurrents. This is the scent for people who like vetiver, but don't want something as potent as a Tom Ford scent.
If I had to compare it to one designer fragrance, I'd compare it to Eau Fraiche by Versace (since they both have a clean citrus top with a woody base beneath), but I'd say Mugler Cologne does it much better than Eau Fraiche. I hear this is similar to Original Vetiver by Creed. But I haven't tried OV yet.
It's not ostensibly memorable, but in subtle ways, it does what most fresh fragrances try to do, but much better. Subtlety matters, as there are a ton of fresh scents, but they just smell like alcohol and cheap floral notes.
It's well-priced at $40 for a medium-sized bottle. It is versatile (you can where it any possible place that you can think of). It's a clean scent for those times that you don't want to smell musky or like a guy whose wearing way too much cologne. This is safe, and perfect for a job interview or work (if you decide to wear cologne). I don't imagine this offending anyone, as long as you don't spray too much.
It's gotten a lot of acclaim on this forum, especially from the people who collect a lot of niche.
For those who haven't heard of this, I recommend you sample this one. This is a staple in even the most diverse collection.
What are your thoughts on it?
I rated it "very good".

EDIT:
Honestly, Mugler Cologne is not as safe as people say it is. There is still that shrill neroli opening and that grainy vetiver background that can be headache inducing to some people. For some, it does remind them of soap. For others, it will be way too chemical.
It's a good fragrance but don't be fooled into thinking this is a fragrance for people who don't want to smell like cologne.
