Mustang Estée Lauder for men

This is a very, very nice cologne, especially for the price. The gift set was on sale for only $10 at Gordman's. I smelled it and couldn't understand how it was so cheap! Put this in a Burberry bottle and it would be a bestseller. I bought the gift set for my brother. At the store I sprayed the set with the tester so that (ideally) he'd be able to decide if he liked it before opening it. I started getting compliments immediately - from the woman at the checkout, to everyone in the family when I brought the gift set home. It's a very heavy, masculine scent with lots of musk and that LOVELY undertone of tobacco. No one in my family smokes, but this scent is something we can all enjoy. Needless to say, my brother absolutely loved it, and the smell stayed with the box until I gave him the gift a few weeks later.

I'm a tobacco fragrance fan, though I don't like all of them. I do like Kors' Michael for Men, which Mustang most closely resembles. However, I do think that they are different enough so that if you like these kinds of fragrances you might want to own own both. Mustang would be for warmer weather and the daytime, whereas MfM would be for cooler weather and nights. At this point, I'd have to say that I prefer MfM because it has a richness and depth that Mustang does not, though Mustang has it's own interesting qualities (they are lighter, perhaps due to ginger, juniper, and a little lemon). A very good tobacco "cheapo," though you can often get MfM on ebay cheaply if you have patience. In either case, don't expect the usual "fresh" fragrance; these both have more of a "mature" quality, and of course a lot of people today don't want to smell even a hint of tobacco, regardless of the source. If you want a "light" version of Havana, give this one a try.

UPDATE: Far into the drydown, there is a really "deep" quality with the tobacco note playing a prominent role. It has a kind of earthy, barren feel that I actually like a lot, sort of niche-like but not as strong as you would expect in a niche fragrance. I think there's a little ginger that's providing just a bit of lightness. At this point, it's certainly different enough from MfM and bottle worthy to me, especially at current prices. Thankfully, I don't get strong patchouli, which I don't like if it's not faint, and the cedar note is subtle (the new chemicals being used to create a cedar effect can be really harsh).

I only have the aftershave of this little gem, but it has sufficient strength to review it. The ginger opening is fantastic and rich, it is balanced with the lemon. The sweetness and spiciness is just right and underpinned by the tobacco and woody notes. It is a lively and bright fragrance like the car it represents.

I think this is a beautiful fragrance,it has a lovely opening of ginger and lemon and I love the tobacco notes in this fragrance.This is a good all day cologne.Only real draw back is that it only lasts a couple of hours.

Meh. Save your money. I thought it would have been better than it is. Someone said it smells like a weak Michael Kors - it does barely - I was severely disappointed.

got it for the car brand thats about it smells ok its a cheap perfume to wear day to day to strong if you ask me

A nice fresh fragrance with a pipe tobacco note. Is blended better than some fragrances at 5 times the price. A good bargin fragrance for someone on a budget.

This scent is for a particular guy, he who works out, is very very confident & knows his engines. Mustang has a firm top and a sentual base. It's almost as if it wher liquid guy, or what you would imagine one of the bad boys who drives a Mustang would smell like. It's a great fragrance to have in the stang...I know I have a bottle in mine.

I always love cars. Even though, car fragrances are tacky, I still find myself collecting them. This Mustang smells quite good. I definitely smell sweet and spicy combo from ginger and lemon; making the scent very appealing to most people. I also smell tabacco blossom that is slightly sweet and aromatic. It's not exactly smoky but it's kinda dry here. And for cedar, I have no idea where it is. Juniper and musk are at the base as expected but it's still all about that nice tabacco blossom. Note: it doesn't smell like smokey cigarette.

Overall, I find the scent very appealing to most men. It doesn't smell cheap. Great for a holiday and birthday gift, especially for those who loves cars. By far, this one beats the silly Corvette cologne (maybe the Hummer too), and don't forget it was created by Estee Lauder, so you get a lot for the money. Still my ultimate car fragrance is the Bugatti, but why does it have to be so expensive?! (T~T)

I almost forgot to mention that the spray nozzle is superb. I mean it has a serious "Direct Injection" going on. With just a little press, it sprays out quite a lot and evenly. Porsche The Essence should learn from this and get theirs replaced!

Thanks gypsy parfumista for this gift. My first Mustang ever! Literally...

This was one of my first purchases since then, and I simply couldn't write a review about. So, I left it forgotten in the wardrobe. Good for you to have a time to use and try other things, to realize you like that one. At that time I had (at least I thought I had) an issue with something that I thought could be put in your car (or a Mustang), like an oil, but far from that. I don't get the ginger at the point of say "ginger"(thanks), and all the other things together makes a scent which you don't mess with anything feminine at all. The sweetness doesn't have anything to do with candies or flowers. For me a very good scent, another one that I can not dislike

Smells just like a mustang. Very strong scent.

I use to drive only Fords and I did have a black mustang and I use to wear Aramis so my girlfriend bought this for me to try. She likes it so I guess I'll be wearing it even if I didn't like it. But I have to say it is a great scent, strong but not too strong and the lavender is a departure for me as I normally go for the cologne with heavy vetiver scents.

Mustang, to me, is the little brother of Michael by Michael Kors. It is less complex than Michael, but that doesn't mean it is any less of a good scent. I bought Mustang and Michael because they are two, of very few, that have a pipe tobacco note (lots have cigar notes, few have pipe).

It opens with a citrus and ginger enhanced lavender, with the pipe tobacco playing a key role. This startup accord hangs on for a long time and then a touch of cedar starts to come through. It's a little bit linear in the top and mid notes, until the base starts to emerge. The dry down sweetens the fading top notes a little with patchouli and the amber comes through lightly well into the base. I don't get any Fir notes, which is good for me because I don't like strong evergreen notes in a cologne. If Fir is there, it's very subtle and may just strengthen the heart.

Mustang could be worn by any age group, while Michael, a "boozy" scent, is a "Men only, please" type of fragrance. Mustang is good for everyday/weekend casual wear, but could also be worn to the office because it doesn't smell like any alcoholic beverages. The top and mid notes are strong for almost an hour, and the whole thing lasts a little less than average. On me, it lasts almost 4 hours (I consider average to be between 4 and 6 hours).

I like Mustang, and I'm anticipating another good scent when the new Mustang Blue is available in my area.
