Fun Lovin' Criminals - Half a Block
Allegedly, the inspiration for this composition was a hotel bar of soap that Thierry Mugler brought from his trip in Morocco. I can sense that specific hotel cleanliness in Mugler Cologne, but this Morillas’ composition is much more than just another soap. In my opinion, Mugler Cologne in among the best composition inside a very rigid, and historically important cologne genre. Other two compositions I admire the most are Vettiveru by Comme des Garcons and l’Eau de Tarocco by Diptyque.

Mugler Cologne is a fresh, extremely clean
and genderless scent. The composition opens with strong citruses – piercing neroli,
bergamot and balanced dose of chemically clean aldehydes. In the body there is
a soapy note of white flowers, again a very clean bouquet. The base is made of
laundry fresh musk. The special feature of Mugler Cologne is a clean, steamy
note of hot iron. Like dressing up a fresh, clean shirt on a sunny morning. I
believe that mysterious S-molecule is a Steam, not a Sex molecule of “post-coital
liquids” what the rumors say. If you are looking for a happy, clean and
reasonably priced cologne look no further. Simple and great stuff for a hot climates.
P.S. The retro-futuristic packaging is
great, like a part of Captain Kirk's bathroom.
