Spotlight on Aura Mugler


This is not a paid post. Products are press samples.


When Thierry Mugler launched Angel, in 1992, a whole new gourmand category was born. Bursting with chocolate, vanilla and caramel notes tempered with patchouli and musk, the scent caused a sensation. Today it is still one of the world’s top selling fragrances. 

Ten years later Alien hit the shelves. This rich floral woody scent laced with amber was another one that stood out from the crowd. Womanity, a savoury-sweet fragrance that celebrated the diverse facets of a woman was another hit.




Now Mr Mugler once again wants to revolutionise the world of perfume with Aura (from £49). Paying homage to women’s intuition which he feels is their strength and magic, in other words, their aura, he has created a scent that is combination of an oriental and botanical with a dose of animal.

Smoky and opulent tiger liana melds with rhubarb leaf and orange blossom to give a hint of tangy freshness while bourbon vanilla and wolfwood add a sensual je ne sais quoi.

The green chiselled glass bottle is a work of art in itself. Ultimately, it does not matter what the story behind the juice is, it depends on how it reacts on your skin and whether you like it. For those that like to wear scents that stand out from the crowd, I suggest you try it.
