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.
RUN FREE is an intense Cologne with a dashing purple ginger and a vibrant Akigalawood®. An innovative and bold olfactory composition. Twisted by the secret “D” note, RUN FREE unleashes an electric desire for freedom and the infinite.
The fragrance is available as a 100ml Eau de Toilette from August 1. 2018.

At first I thought Run Free was the least attractive of all the “colors” in the rainbow collection.
My impression was of a cinnamon mint candy.
But I let it sit. I waited and then the minty-medicinal note morphed into a wonderful subtle fragrance that becomes more interesting and appealing from the middle to the dry down. It isn’t as happy and bright as the yellow or so purely clean as the blue but Run Free feels like a mature version of all the colognes.

Run Free is an aromatic woods. The ginger can only be detected for a slight moment in the opening, but it’s very bright and vivacious. It would make a great accent for a serious cologne.
The main body of the fragrance presents a musky woods. The oversoul is distinctly reminiscent to a Killian—and I would best describe it as something like a dark, musky Bamboo Harmony.
If this rainbow set is intended for being blended up, I’d take this one as the most challenging entry, intended for experts especially; hence the name—Run Free.
As for blending it up, I could imagine an expert like Nejla saying something like, “Ooh…this is a ginger beer!”. Totally undaunted. Some boozy notes, some sugar—and would you like a drink?
I would probably think to do something like saffron and fig, running with that vivid purple ginger—and then some other wildman notes‒like pomegranate, blood orange, or maybe even Acai.
Haven’t sampled them yet, but Safraleine and Hydrocarboresine seem like they could be really interesting materials in place of a natural saffron.
Unfortunately, not really seeing much potential for this fragrance as it stands—a little too sour and musky—but you never know with all the weirdos out there.

A touch of light ginger and woods on the same white musk base as Mugler Cologne. The neroli and soapiness in the original are absent here. Run Free (Violet) is a distinctly new fragrance but has a similar vibe as the original. This sits very close to the skin and, like Mugler Cologne, would be perfectly suitable for warm or hot weather.
Definitely unisex, although some may find that it leans toward the masculine because of the woodiness.
Violet is my 2nd favorite of the new Mugler Rainbow collection, only behind Love You All (Blue).
