It’s particularly impressive how long lasting and linear the citrus note is. Cologne Mugler, the zenith of citrus creativity, containing a fabulous Firmenich captive, cannot be beaten. Hot Cologne attempts to match its performance and style but falls short. Firstly because the two fragrances bear a striking resemblance to each other, but the latter does not improve on the former. Why bother, then, I ask. But secondly because the coffee note fails to shine, band instead flops.
The top orange blossom note is stunningly real, a bit overly petitgrain, but tamed and blended in the heart with soft, transparent jasmine. I get a hyacinth, sappy quality which is nice, refreshing and clean. It links very well to the original Cologne in this regard.
The fragrance is lovely, but not worth the money; stick to the original: more cost effective and equally as beautiful.

I never thought that there were coffee when i first sprayed it! as far as i know the coffee has quite strong essence but it wasn’t shown when i first sprayed it. Anyways.. This is soapy with slightly sea foam.
Now this is kind of tricky and weird, the citrus sea foam is mixed with coffee with slightly petitgrain and tea note, so it whiffs between coffee soap sea foam & citrus. I kind of sense malt as well.
Fair.

Soap, a touch of green, some citrus and coffee. It is the scent of a holiday morning. There’s no rush, you just had a shower, put on fresh clothes and now you settle on the terrace to sip first your coffee, then your orange juice and enjoy the freshness of the new day before the heat kicks in. This scent has a relaxed vibe, but for this price tag, I’d want to be enchanted, and I am not.

I received a few samples from this line with a purchase from the Mugler web site. I like this one the best of the five that were sent to me, but I am partial to green notes and white florals. This smelled to me like expensive powder soap that you would use in a upscale hotel bathroom, but it seems to disappear rather quickly on my skin. As others have mentioned, the price is beyond what I would pay for such a fleeting, albeit lovely, fragrance, especially since it resembles TM Cologne, which is much better priced.

Wish it was $18 ! However in England it cost us £140 for an 80ml bottle , this beautiful scent will soon be added to my collection again ,beautiful green coffee and heady orange blossom

Batphink: This has not come down $18.00 anywhere. Why do people often lie about the price they pay for fragrances?

Usually I am no Mugler fan but tried this yesterday,the name almost put me off until I sprayed it.
It has an elegance to it. It’s come down in price here in Canada about$18.00 and I LOVE the amazing wood box that opens to display the heavy bottle!
This is sparkling, elegant and quality juice with great longevity!

A beautiful traditional cologne scent (with perhaps a slight twist in the dry down) but with the performance of an EdP. Well done by Mugler.

Recently sampled with others from the line during Mugler’s 6 samples with every order promo… I ordered everything separately so got like 24 samples HURRAY!
The opens fresh and citrusy, reminding of a generic cologne more than Mugler’s own (which I love and own).
If I didn’t know the notes I would have mistaken the coffee for spices – perhaps ginger and cumin? There’s an additional freshness from the ‘green’ of the coffee beans.
This is very well blended, long lasting with moderate/heavy Sillage.
If you are looking for a spicy interpretation on the traditional cologne, you will not be disappointed.
Price too high for me but would enjoy smelling on others or receiving as a gift – very well presented!

I bought this on a whim, as most of my purchases are. I always say no more fragrance and get duped when I see a new launch or the prowess of the marketing machine. This was £135 for 80ml. I knew I would kick myself.
As others have pointed out it is Muglers cologne with a bit of green. The initial spray reminded me of the barbers shop smell where my dad use to hold me by the ear and escort me to the barber, where I was trying to grow long hair as it was the fashion and I still had hair! It smelt like the the masala coffee (Indian spice coffee) the barber would serve to my dad with him being friends whilst I dare not move for fear of him taking a slice of my ear off, which he did on a few occasions. This settles down to Cologne by Mugler, with a hint of coffee. The projection is very poor, and so is the longevity. too! I think you pay the £134.95 asking price for the packing and 5p for the really poor contents. I am so cross with Mugler but more angry with my self for falling for this really poor and rubbish scent. Horrible and crap. Its going on ebay a day after I received it!

Got this as a sample the other day and absolutely love it!granted it’s very similar to mugler cologne ,but it has really strong coffee notes and a nice crisp citrus smell to it !love it and will definitely get this soon!

My husband tried this a few days ago and very nearly bought it until he realized it smelled the same as Cologne. (As I see,others have said the same). Which he already owns. Much better price too so please compare the two together before buying.

Tried it on today. We had the lab sample at work. Smells a lot like Mugler Cologne, but the ingredient added as a polar opposite/secret twist is ginger, which is not listed here. It’s coming as an EDP, 80ml’s in Canada for the same price as the rest of Les Exceptions; $185CAN, refill $127CAN. Think less muskiness, more citrus spice. Smells amazing and sexy for a “cologne” scent.

I have smelled this today on paper at the TM counter in Montreal. It reminds me of Mugler Cologne without the musk. It is more dry. The sales associate says that it is due to the note of green coffee (not listed here). It is definitely a beautiful classic cologne (acqua di parma, eau sauvage, roger gallet…). Extremely well done. Unfortunately, they put it in the Les Expensive Category. It is also on the light side. i will stick with the cheap original Mugler Cologne that I had for 50$ for 100 ml…

Hot Cologne, presented in this uncluttered bottle, is a free gift offered to those who attended Mugler spring-summer 2017 fashion show.
It will probably come in “Les Exceptions” regular (and more luxurious) bottle. They did the same with Cuir Impertinent last year.
The problem is that “Les Exceptions” are sold €170 for 80ml while this “free gift” is sold €180 for 50ml!
Of course there are lots of Mugler fans, but it’s a bit of a shame to sell pre-series and samples IMO.

Why judge a perfume by its bottle? That’s hardly relevant for most people in this community anyway.
