Thierry Mugler Aura ~ fragrance review
Aura is the latest pillar from Thierry Mugler (I know, I know, it’s Mugler now, not Thierry Mugler, but my brain is not quite ready to make the switch). I have an ambivalent relationship with the brand’s feminine pillar fragrances. Their debut fragrance, 1992’s Angel, was a masterpiece, but not one I want to wear. I really like a few of the flankers, though, and have almost bought Angel Liqueur de Parfum any number of times. I thought Angel Eau Sucrée was fun and I thought Angel Muse was fantastic, but I didn’t buy either of those either.
The success of Angel is often attributed to its unusual (at the time) overdose of patchouli and candy; Alien followed in Angel’s footsteps with an overdose of jasmine, vanilla and cashmeran. I did not love Alien but I didn’t really hate it either. If I had found it more appealing than I did, I probably would have tried more of the flankers…
