Mugler's Eau To Go Coffret, with travel sprays of Angel Muse (9 ml), Angel (7 ml) and Alien (7 ml) was all lined up for a holiday gift idea post, but since it's on markdown today I've moved it up. $49.30 (regular price $58) at Dillards. You can also buy the sprays separately at Sephora, for $29 each.
A spot for Mugler Aura.
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…
More limited edition collector fragrance bottles, with the usual disclaimers: in most of these cases, the juice is unchanged, just the bottle is “special” (or not, as the case may be), and some of these may not be available in the US. Today’s post includes special edition bottles from Elie Saab, Thierry Mugler, Salvatore Ferragamo and Viktor & Rolf.
Elie Saab Le Parfum in the Feuilles d’Or Edition: “A tribute to Elie Saab haute couture jewels, the 2017 special edition bottle radiates ethereal beauty. The charming Le Parfum perfume remains the same; however, its flacon has been dressed in an elegant gold floral print for a must-have collector’s edition…”
Thierry Mugler has launched Wonder Bouquet, a new fragrance in the Les Exceptions series…
