by Mugler
Eau de Star by Thierry Mugler offers a uniquely structured blend of sweet, aquatic, and earthy notes that evolve dramatically over time. Its standout feature is a remarkably authentic, juicy watermelon accord that forms the centerpiece of the opening, immediately setting it apart from typical gourmand or fruity perfumes. The patchouli is present and dominant at first—earthy, resinous, and slightly medicinal—but it mellows into a warm, spicy undercurrent as the honey and vanilla notes deepen the sweetness. A subtle, almost metallic pepper note enhances the boldness, adding an unexpected layer of complexity that many find provocative or even polarizing. On most skin types, the fragrance transitions from an initially sharp, overpowering burst to a smoother, layered composition that retains intense projection and longevity. The sillage is substantial and noticeable, making it ideal for those who seek a signature scent rather than a discreet fragrance. While described as unisex, it leans more toward a feminine profile with its bright watermelon and honey notes, though still capable of a bold masculine presentation.
