8 Best Smelling Mugler Perfumes, Ranked
Mugler is well known for their bold, futuristic, head-turning pieces, and their fragrance line is equally impressive. Here are the best Mugler perfumes that should be on your radar.
Mugler is an avant-garde French fashion house founded in 1973 by its namesake, Manfred Thierry Mugler. Through the 80s, the brand became famous for its striking designs, which are often elaborate and theatrical.
In 1992, Mugler introduced Angel, the first gourmand fragrance in history, which opened up a whole new scent category. The fragrance line was the first designed to be based on food notes like chocolate, cotton candy and caramel, instead of relying heavily on florals, making it a truly iconic fragrance.
Below, we’ve rounded up the 8 best Mugler perfumes for women that are currently available on the market. If you’re looking for unique scents with great performance, Mugler is the right brand to start with.
The Best Mugler Perfumes For Women
1. Alien Eau De Parfum
Alien by Thierry Mugler is a fragrance that will take you out of this world, truly living up to its name.
Although it’s one of the most popular fragrances on the market, it retains its uniqueness and unusual scent composition. It’s dark, sensual, mysterious and sexy – a definite compliment-getter and a great contender for a signature scent.
While the perfume notes are very simple (jasmine, cashmeran wood, and sensual white amber), the combination of these three is what creates the magic. The opening of this fragrance is filled with dark, decadent white florals, which become warmer in the dry down, creating a beautiful versatile scent experience that is especially great for date nights.
Expect around 6-7 hours of wear from this enchanting, sultry fragrance that will have everyone under its spell.
2. Angel Eau De Parfum
As mentioned previously, Angel EDP is the perfume that started a gourmand revolution in the beauty industry. As you can imagine, this perfume is utterly delicious with its sweet notes of chocolate, honey, caramel and cotton candy mixed with prominent patchouli.
Altogether, the complex perfume has about 30 different notes, which give it its unique character; It’s sweet, but also unapologetic and loud all at the same time. It’s heavy and incredibly long-lasting, sticking around the whole day.
Angel is completely signature-scent-worthy if you’re a fan of sweeter fragrances. However, if you’re only looking to wear it here and there, your best bet is to wear it during the evening in the winter months because it is so rich and heavy.
3. Alien Goddess Intense Eau de Parfum
Alien Goddess Intense and Goddess EDP, featured below, are two sisters with slightly different characteristics. While the Alien Goddess original made its debut before, in our opinion, the intense version of the perfume is even better.
It’s intoxicating, alluring, empowering, and a complete showstopper. It’s an intense boozy vanilla scent, with a prominent top note of coconut cream that further attributes to the boozy vibe of the perfume. At its heart, Alien Goddess Intense has a jasmine note as a nod to the original Alien, but it’s slightly prettier and fresher thanks to its accompanying jasmine tea note, and bergamot at the top.
Opulent vanilla, benzoin and cashmere wood create a warm amber base that perfectly rounds up this sexy, unique fragrance. Wear this around the clock, or as a nighttime scent to amplify your charisma and radiance.
4. Alien Goddess Eau de Parfum
Alien Goddess is the original version of the intense fragrance above. Like the Intense EDP, Alien Goddess has a heavy focus on vanilla and is designed to unleash the goddess in you.
Unlike its intense version, Alien Goddess is all about vanilla and jasmine with a little bit of coconut water undertone and much less focus on the blend’s other notes; bergamot, heliotrope, and cashmeran. The result is a sexy, warm vanilla scent that isn’t overly sweet and has incredible lasting power.
So, if you’re looking for a fabulous vanilla scent that can last all day, Thierry Mugler Alien Goddess EDP may be the best pick. Wear it on spring or summer days, or as a pick-me-up when you need a bit of extra energy.
5. Angel Iced Star Eau de Toilette
Angel Iced Star EDT mixes some of the original Angel’s most prominent notes, patchouli, praline and vanilla, with fun, fresh pineapple and creamy coconut. It’s the perfect warm-weather scent to take on vacation, as it definitely has a piña colada essence that perfectly pairs with holidays and sunny beaches. With this said, the patchouli base keeps it from smelling too young and girly – it’s just divine.
However, after a few hours, the tropical top notes fade, and you’re left with a paired-down version of Angel’s slightly sweet signature DNA. As an Eau de toilette, the lasting power of this fragrance isn’t as great as other Mugler scents, so you may want to combine it with the original Angel EDP to make the scent stay on a little longer.
If you’re looking to get whisked away to a tropical island in just a few spritzes, Angel Iced Star EDT is the perfect option to go with.
6. Angel Nova Eau de Parfum
Somewhat confusingly, Angel Nova EDP is completely different from the original Angel range, as it doesn’t contain any of the original’s DNA. There’s no patchouli, no praline – it’s a completely different fragrance.
This fruity-floral perfume opens with fruity notes of raspberry and litchi, which are also the most prominent notes that carry throughout the scent journey. At the heart, you’ll find Damask rose—the ultimate symbol of femininity, which mixes beautifully with peppery and woody akigalawood at the base. You’ll also notice benzoin at the dry down, which adds a hint of cozy, warm amber to the scent.
Whereas the original Angel is heavy, Angel Nova EDP is bright, juicy and rosy – perfect for daytime wear in the spring and summer. Like most Mugler fragrances, its lasting power is also amazing, which is somewhat rare for lychee and raspberry perfumes.
7. Aura Mugler Eau de Toilette
Aura EDT is an invitation for you to connect with your authentic self, taking you on a scent journey along a green rain forest. This is one fragrance where the bottle of the perfume perfectly encapsulates the scent that is inside – Aura EDT is green, crisp, and juicy, with vanilla notes that add light warmness.
The most prominent notes in this perfume are green notes, which play well with its tart rhubarb note at the heart of the perfume. In the opening, you get top notes of fruity pear, hibiscus seed, and citrus notes of bergamot and lemon that add a zesty lightness to the perfume.
Additional middle notes of jasmine and strawberry enhance the sweet and fruity nature of the fragrance, while base notes of vanilla, orris root, ambrette and especially powdery musk dominate in the dry down.
As a light, bright, green fragrance, Aura EDT is a great choice for daytime wear in the spring and summer. You can expect to get around 4-5 hour of wear from this eau de toilette.
8. Womanity Eau de Parfum
Womanity EDP is a polarizing fruity-aquatic fragrance that celebrates different facets of womankind. Where the Alien range was meant to create an extraterrestrial experience, Womanity brings you back to the earth, grounding you with its contradicting nature of different facets of womanhood.
Womanity Eau de Parfum combines salty, green, sweet and woody notes, which actually create quite a unisex scent experience. Its main notes include fruity fig, caviar, as well as green fig leaves and woody fig tree, which are definitely quite unusual in the fragrance world.
All in all, Womanity EDP is not for everyone as it is quite out of the ordinary, but it is worth checking out if you’re looking for a fruity marine scent with woodsy notes at its dry down.
