Pros & Cons
- ✅ It isn’t the aquatic that I was expecting. Surprisingly powdery.The cardamom and coriander are prominent. The citrus notes appear for a flash of a moment. The ‘sea note’ is there but very subtle. At first, it feels like a smoothie of random ingredients, a bit messy and confusing. But after 10-15 min it settles into a calm, fresh, green fragrance. It never projects like a monster, not even upon application. Longevity is about 6-8 hours. Could easily be a creation of Francis Kurdkjian in the same category as the squeaky clean perfumes like Aqua Universalis, Aqua Celestia, etc.
- ✅ Yes, it's a blue scent. Yes, it's a marine scent. And no, it's not ordinary. I feel a distinct sea breeze, interwoven with hot sun rays. But I also feel the sand and the air when the sun sets behind the horizon. Fantasquatic is not just a simple marine fragrance. I feel the spirit of BLV floating on the surface of the sea. Someone wrote here that it is a man's version of Womanity. If I really wanted to create it, it would look exactly like this. . . and it can't be anything ordinary after all.
- ✅ So, I bought this at Jomashop and I'm not usually into watery fresh scents. (This was a blind buy.) But really love this MUGLER creation. This one is really complex and seriously long lasting. It's starts out with sharp, watery, marine notes, mixed with citrusy freshness..Very bracing, crisp and a bit biting. Refreshing.. But as time goes on, it mellows into this really lovely aguafloral, while still retaining it's watery nature..it smells like the colour aquamarine.. and it lasts. Hour 5 and I can still smell it on my skin and clothes, which I find amazing, as most watery citrus perfumes fade rather quickly.
- ✅ Thankfully I bought a tester at Jomashop for $56. A cucumber, aquatic scent with slight powderiness in the background. Pleasant and safe to wear on a daily basis. A reviewer here stated that it reminds them of the cucumber dove soap and I can totally see that here. Unisex leaning slightly feminine. Performs intimate staying close to the skin.
- ✅ Juicy aquatic/aromatic scent. Green and citrusy mix with a bright lemon note and fresh aquatic accord. It smells very clean and uplifting, like a bed sheets air dried in the citrusy garden on close to the beach. It also has a bit of minty qualities, I believe it might be a coriander note.

- ❌ This is just a brief initial impression of this fragrance from a sample spray but from what I smelt, it's disappointing. I get a clash of synthetic salty sea notes, where muglar are obviously trying to follow the trend of marine rather than aquatic, and some sweet, vaguely spicy notes. It feels like they’ve taken notes that they think are on trend and just mixed them altogether but It's a bit of a synthetic mess to be honest, which doesn't blend well at all. A designer fragrance dressed up as niche, it just smells cheap to my nose.

- ❌ Boring, bargain store, sales rack type of fragrance packaged in the Mugler name. ... Sits close to the skin and lacks anything close to solid performance.
