Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Eau de Toilette

Mülhens Sumatra Rain Eau de Toilette is a men's fragrance that opens with petitgrain, lavender and bergamot in a fresh, citrusy, green-aquatic style; it has been discontinued, and it leans toward spring and summer days. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend spring and summer, with leisure and daily wear leading and office use close behind. Most voters call it masculine, while others see it as modern or classic. The top of petitgrain, lavender, galbanum, lemon and bergamot feels crisp and green. Cyclamen, jasmine, rose and orange blossom then add a soft floral heart. In the base, tonka bean, cedar and amber sweeten it slightly and settle it onto a woody foundation.

Eau de Toilette

Mülhens Men's Classic Eau de Toilette is a masculine scent that sets a fresh, green opening of lavender, bergamot and basil over a deep base of leather, amber and moss; it has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling a room. Voters spread across all four seasons, with winter and fall slightly ahead. Leisure, business and evening wear come closest to its character. It reads as masculine. The top pairs artemisia, coriander and green notes with citrusy lavender and bergamot. In the heart, jasmine, rose, carnation and aldehydes add a bright floral touch, while vetiver and patchouli keep it dry. The base of labdanum, leather, amber and moss settles the chypre character and leaves a spicy, resinous warmth.

7.5

Mülhens · 1999

Fresh · Floral · Green

Mülhens Sumatra Rain Woman is a fresh, floral women's fragrance softened by green and fruity tones; it has been discontinued. The scent reads as a whole rather than in stages: fruity notes and fresh notes lead, while oriental notes sit behind them and add a little warmth. The accords trace a fresh, floral line with green and fruity touches. The result is light rather than heavy, airy and mildly sweet. Mäurer & Wirtz Eruption Woman and Stendhal Rouge Divin have a close profile.

Sumatra Rain Fresh (Eau de Toilette)

Mülhens · 1997

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Eau de Toilette

Mülhens Sumatra Rain Fresh Eau de Toilette is a fresh, aquatic men's fragrance built around oakmoss, lavender and citrus notes; it has been discontinued. Spicy notes and coumarin round out the composition. Citrus and lavender carry the coolness, while oakmoss lays a green, woody base; coumarin adds a light sweetness and the spicy notes a warm accent. A fruity side shows in the accords, but the fresh, citrus character leads. The notes aren't split into layers, so it reads as a single, simple whole. It is classed as a masculine fragrance.
