About this deal

This time the heart shaped bottle is colored in an opal patina. Pale green and pink shimmers in the light. The spray cap is a crystal pastel yellow green. Of all the Mugler line, Aura Eau de Parfum Sensuelle is one of the easier fragrances to wear. Despite its strong projection, I find this flanker a lot easier to fathom and the composition a lot less quirky than the original Aura. If I were to chose between the two, I would definitely choose Aura Eau de Parfum Sensuelle. I prefer this over the original but... it must be said that the feelings they evoke are very different.

I like, that this scent is a bit odd to some. This is not a crowd pleaser, this a unique scent. That also means, that I have not smelled any of the Aura scents on other people around me, so I can have this as a signature scent completely to myself. That is a big win to me. I was able to compare it with Marc Jacobs Decadence and they surely belong to the same blood line. They have that similar green vibe at the opening, but their dry down compartmentalizes them. Decadence has a very similar spicy dry down with Valentino Uomo while Mugler Aura has her own formula of vanillic-greenish sweetness to it (at least for me, okay?)The “wolfwood,” described by Mugler as an “animalic” vegetal substitute for wood, is animalic, peaty and opaque. This is no woody base. Instead, the base is a prominent vanilla. It isn’t quite gourmand, but a little powdery. It reminds me of the vanilla in the first Alien Goddess release, but less boring. I apply it generously (I can't help it!) and on my skin it has good projection and lasts more than 12 hours, delighting me throughout the day. First facet, a spicy floral flourish. Rich and intriguing, almost intoxicating. The gardenia is velvety and lush. The cinnamon leaf supplies a bit of warm spice.

I loved the comment from yesterday_borscht “This is the same Aura, but friendly to people from La vie est belle gang” because it’s the most accurate to my experience. The silage is so intense though that its almost a bad thing. 1-2 sprays is really all you need, but I like to spray in key places all over. So, I need to be selective. If you watch the trailer for the perfume the ad creates a vision of a deep rainforest that this smell truly mirrors in its entirety. Because of this creamy texture and intense sweetness, I don't recognise it as rhubarb like in Hermès Rhubarbe Ecarlate, which is much more juicy, more sparkling and natural-smelling. In fact, the creamy fruitiness combined with the tropical, ripe greenness briefly evokes green banana in my head. So, I've sprayed it on today and a little definitely goes a long way. It is a very sweet perfume so overdoing it can be quite ghastly for others around you. As for the medicinal note that people have been pointing out, it smells a bit like a Chinese licorice root (often used in TCM) but I could just be imagining that...Errrr... no. (Allow me to state that I mean *no* offense whatsoever if you love this and are able to wear it... what follows is a description of my experience and mine alone. Obviously, this juice is still on the market because it *does* sell, and there are a significant number of people out there who smell amazing while wearing it. Unfortunately for me... I'm not one of them. Oh, boy, am I *ever* not one of them.) It seems to be one of those perfumes which smells different to different people. For instance I get a lot of sweetness and fruits with something really aromatic that I can't put my finger on. It smells bright and fresh but it also smells airy if it's breezy and u catch a waft of it. Saying that though my sister smelt it on me and was like "omg that stinks what are you wearing its horrible" she gets the menthol and medicinal smell people have mentioned so out of curiosity I went around my family in the room one by one to see what they got from it lol .. There was a sweet smell from all the elements sun,water, flowers merging and Integrating that this perfume truly captures. This one is a bit complex to describe, and it may smell overwhelming at times. It's different, but reminds me of the general vein of "Alien", so, it's not bizarre this one came from the same fashion house. I'm quite surprised at how much I like it, though I think I underestimate just how sugary my own personality is.
