The story behind the bottle.
Cologne Summer Flash by Mugler was launched in 2006, created by the renowned perfumer Alberto Morillas. This fragrance opens with a burst of green and citrus notes that capture the essence of a fresh summer morning. The heart of neroli adds an unexpected floral brightness, while musk provides a subtle warmth that grounds the composition. It's neither overly sweet nor heavy, making it perfect for those who prefer a lighter, more modern scent.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points, and let it settle for a few minutes before heading out. This fragrance blooms quickly, with the green and citrus top notes giving way to a soft musky warmth within about an hour.
