Mystic Aromatic
by Mugler
Mystic Aromatic by Mugler presents a bold, herbal green character dominated by basil, clary sage, thyme, and Peru balsam. It unfolds with a sharp, synthetic green aroma that some find overwhelming or medicinal, reminiscent of over-seasoned Italian dishes or a car interior with cheap air freshener. Others appreciate its authenticity and vintage-inspired fougere style, describing it as stimulating, sophisticated, and distinctively 'hipster fougere'—a modern take on 60s and 70s botanical perfumery. The scent evolves with time: initially bracing and herbaceous, it softens into a warm, balsamic, wood-tinged dry-down that feels more natural and wearable. Its sillage is moderate to strong, with moderate longevity, making it more suitable as a daytime scent during spring and summer. The fragrance is unisex in intent but leans masculine in execution, appealing most to those open to fresh, green, and slightly medicinal accords with a vintage flair.
