Grand Mogul on free feet
No question about it, the scent's good. But somehow too cute for my nose to call it great. From the composition of spices very varied, with a closer look at clove, juniper berry and thyme, which come out especially. The flowery notes are also right. Except for the lily of the valley, which is a little too cheeky. Frankincense, patchouli and pine resin also come into their own. But in terms of "sweetness" I still suspect ingredients that are not listed above.
When I recommend occasions to wear "Gengis Khan", they are particularly festive, because the fragrance has a "noble touch" that should not be commonplace.
And somehow I think of oriental weddings, dazzlingly dressed guests, people of rank and name. Sultans, if there are any left, Khane, Moguls.... In good company, with the bridal couple at the centre. At least it should. Because one of the guests is searching for the "right one" himself.
And because he does not want to exceed the strict habits of a noble festivity, in terms of behaviour, etc., he relies on the effect of his exclusive fragrance. Many a "guest" raises her eyebrows in an appreciative way or suggests favor by smiling.
It is not the case that the "Gengis Khan" is a counterpart to the "Poison" for women, but it still goes easily in the "woman bewitching" direction, because it is relatively sweet.
Conclusion: An extraordinary, noble scent, which might be a bit harsher for my personal nose.

Bitter fresh licorice shavings!
I don't have much experience with the "Mugler fragrances" yet. I had only tested "Angel"--"Alien" (much too sweet for me) and the original "Mugler-Cologne" (too thin). Now I have a descendant of it under my nose, which seems to be just...

From Yves Rocher's cool noble line - icy things from the South Pole!
With this "blue fragrance", I have brought a piece of old cold "aquatics" to my nose, which bears no resemblance to other "blues". Neither with Davidoff's "cool water" nor with "Invictus" & Co.
