by Mugler
Aura Mugler is an intensely polarizing fragrance that blends sharp medicinal green notes with a rich, warm vanilla base. The opening is unmistakably potent—reminiscent of cough syrup, mentholated ointments, or even laundry detergents—though it quickly evolves into a lush, aromatic greeniness centered around rhubarb, pear, and orange blossom. This transition is often described as a shift from intense, almost overwhelming 'medicinal' sharpness to a more sensual, radiant, and creamy drydown. The vanilla is not gourmand or sugary but instead integrates seamlessly with woody, earthy notes to create a complex, layered scent that feels both mysterious and theatrical. Longevity is exceptional, lasting well over eight hours, with moderate to strong sillage that projects effortlessly. However, its intensity and distinctive character make it best suited for evening wear, and it thrives in warm, humid conditions where its lush green and floral character truly comes to life. The fragrance is unapologetically bold and dramatic, designed to attract attention and provoke strong reactions—whether admiration or repulsion.
