Innocent

Innocent by Thierry Mugler is a soft, fruity gourmand that serves as a lighter, more wearable counterpart to the original Angel. It unfolds with a bright, zesty opening of bergamot and mandarin orange, followed by a juicy blend of red berries and black currant — notes that lend a subtly tart, refreshing character. The heart carries a delicate almond and praline sweetness, balanced by a creamy, powdery richness that never feels cloying. The base is soft, musky, and subtly warm, with amber and white musk lending a clean, fluffy finish. While some appreciate its innocence and spring-like freshness, others find it underdeveloped, lacking depth and character. Its longevity is modest, with most users noting it fades within 4–6 hours on skin, though it lingers longer on fabric. The projection is mild and intimate, making it ideal for personal wear and casual settings, especially in cool weather. It performs best as a day scent and pairs well with early autumn or winter, where its faint bitterness and lip-smacking sweetness come alive. It is not a loud or intense fragrance — it’s a quiet, breathy companion that suits those who seek a delicate, clean sweetness without the dominance of patchouli or heavy vanilla.
