Description
“MUGLER Cologne is fresh and intoxicating, with light and energizing green and citrus notes. The cologne evokes traditional eau de cologne with its pure fresh scent. But while drawing from the past, MUGLER Cologne is resolutely of the future. Simultaneously elegant and seductive, this innovative cologne perfume balances the crisp sparkle of traditional men’s cologne with a white musk, making it freshly familiar yet sensually unsettling and tenacious. Because of its duality, this unique creation can be worn as a men’s perfume as well as a women’s fragrance. Available in a signature bottle with sleek curved lines to refill again and again and again.” – Mugler official info.
FLY AWAY is an intense Cologne that blends a sparkling yellow grapefruit with aromatic hemp. Lively then captivating, FLY AWAY is twisted by the secret “C” note to heighten the senses to a high effervescence.
The fragrance is available as a 100ml Eau de Toilette from August 1. 2018.

I received samples of the 5 new colognes, and finally got around to trying this one.
Right away, I LOVE IT! The grapefruit opening smells very natural, in fact it smells like the semi-bland fruit that grows on my tree in the backyard. Oversized, not very sweet and a little bland as far as grapefruits go, but still very pleasant.
Within just a few minutes, i start to get a slight herbal vibe, more like the green stems of some plant or flower, and not necessarily cannabis. So if you saw the cannabis note and thought “DUDE! YEAH!”, keep looking, because this doesn’t smell at all like the devil’s lettuce.
The overall composition is nice, certainly not $70 nice though. I would only buy it for the sake of having all 5, and unless it goes down in price I’ll be skipping this. I’d rate this 7.5 out of 10, it’s hard to dislike really, but not very groundbreaking by any means.

This reminds me of the powerful grapefruit of the original Prescriptive’s Calyx. Upon (Mugler’s Fly Away) opening it’s a citrus bomb with a bit of bud; which feels like part of nature and quite nice.
It quickly transcends into a citrus and woody scent (like the type of wood that Commes des Garcons does so well). It’s clean and beautiful. The musk keeps it smooth, yet heady.
Maybe, I’m also smelling some juniper berry, cedar, and cypress.
At drydown, it is somewhat reminiscent of Kilian Straight to Heaven—the version with lemon.
Note: The eucalyptus is seamless, yet distinct (like you’re standing in the middle of Pier I.)

Orange soda and mint. I don’t smell the weed. Good frag but bad longevity.

This has the definite aroma of fresh buds of the marijuana plant. Pleasant and outdoorsy.
A nice summer scent but I would not recommend wearing it to a job interview or traveling internationally as you may give an unwanted impression.

I got a sample of these 5 new takes on Muglers “cologne” through the mail yesterday. They were nice but nothing to right home about. I first tried the orange one and it was the most feminine for me so then the blue was up next and I found it meh. When I tried the green one it smelled close to the orginal scent. When I tried the yellow and pink ones I knew they were the ones I would buy. The pink was one of the best despite the feminine bottle. It was wood and ginger and he most masculine of the 5. The yellow one I loved as well as it had ginger and wood notes

I got a folded flier with samples of all 5 fragrances. This is my second to try. Just no. It smells just like bathroom cleaner to me. Specifically Comet powder with a little Scrubbing Bubbles spray foam stuff on top. So it does smell clean, but not in a way that I would like to smell…

Fly Away is a citrus aromatic. The opening presents an inspiring accord of a heavily sweetened grapefruit, with light-green botanical accents laced into it. Itself is semi-sweet, musky, and uplifting. It’s not a druggie cannibis note in the least, but moreso reflects the dynamic botanical aspects, and all their artistic potential.
There is a minty mentholated botanical essence underlying the main accord, which as suggested (being embodied by the secret, effervescent C note), strikes me as an obvious cajuput note possibly. It is weedy, semi-sweet/sticky, and stingy—making a perfect compliment to the botanical aspects of the cannibis note here.
If I could sum the fragrance up in a meme, it would be Art Student Owl. “It is not crap—but it is not great either.” Which is really funny, seeing as how I would expect this one to be a fan favorite among this collection. It is easy to enjoy, and has subtle, yet stimulating features to it. Laid-back and optimistic.
It doesn’t remind me of anything else, which boasts another dynamic attribute for this fragrance, in being so unique.

Of the 5 fragrances that comprise the new Mugler Rainbow Collection, I find Fly Away (Yellow) the most challenging. It’s essentially a lemon/grapefruit-dominant scent, however this is combined with a prominent menthol/eucalyptus/camphor note. In fact, this smells very similar to lemon-flavored menthol cough drops (think Halls cough drops or perhaps Vicks VaporRub).
I’m not a big fan of menthol or similar notes, so I’m on the fence regarding this fragrance.
Fly Away also contains a noticeable green note which is probably the listed hemp/cannabis leaf. FYI, it doesn’t smell anything like marijuana. It’s much closer to fern.
I also detect a bit of cedar in the base, which isn’t a listed note.
I would wager that the secret “C” note is either camphor or cedar (although I do smell both).
All in all, this is my least favorite of the 5 new Mugler Cologne Rainbow releases. It’s not a bad fragrance by any means, but that menthol note is an acquired taste.
