Thierry Mugler is somewhat of an elusive, controversial and totally fascinating character. He turned 70 not long ago, and you wouldn’t have guessed it apart from the indelible mark he has left on the fashion industry over the decades. While he has offered very few interviews throughout his career, he remains highly influential and has worked on a number of interesting projects over the years.

With a disruptive and experimental approach to both his designs and personality, Thierry Mugler has been nothing short of eccentric. In 1990, the Mugler label partnered with Clarins Group in order to create an iconic line of perfumes. Since then, Thierry Mugler perfumes have been best sellers and continue to be a favourite choice for women all over the world.

With that in mind, we take a look at the Thierry Mugler perfume collection and what makes it so special.

The first Thierry Mugler perfume

Mugler perfumes have been an instant hit with every new release, starting with the first perfume in 1992. Angel by Thierry Mugler was the brand’s first fragrance, and also became the world’s first gourmand fragrance.

A gourmand fragrance is one that is created using some synthetic edible notes, essentially creating an olfactory dessert. Angel was created using honey, caramel and chocolate, mixed with bergamot, red berries and helional, resulting in a floral, oriental scent.

Angel is a perfect every day fragrance, with longevity and intensity that is just right to take you through from morning until night.

Alien by Thierry Mugler

Recognisable due to its enchanting purple bottle, Alien by Thierry Mugler was released in 2005. It is a bold fragrance, created with floral, woody notes that enhance its femininity and vibrancy.

The perfume is created using notes of jasmine, white amber and cashmere for a unique combination that is just as popular now as it was when it was released. A long-lasting fragrance, Alien is the perfect choice for evening wear.

Reinterpretations of classics

The Thierry Mugler perfume collection also includes a number of reinventions of both Angel and Alien, giving you even more chances to indulge in this luxury range of fragrances.

Alien Sublime is bottled in a white casing, with a radiant and light scent that takes you on a new journey separate to the original fragrance. Created with notes of orange and mandarin combined with jasmine, white amber and galbanum, it has a golden heart that blossoms and awakens the senses.

It is a beautiful, oriental scent that offers the perfect alternative to the original Alien.

On the other hand, Angel Eau Sucree offers a sparkling, fruity version of the original 1992 release. Created with red berries, patchouli and vanilla, the perfume is blended with a heart of caramelised meringue to create a unique sweet and oriental scent.

An irresistible choice, Angel Eau Sucree has a glittered bottle and boxed in a candy striped box to evoke memories of vintage confectionary.
