Mugler

Visionary fragrance — Alien, Angel, and beyond

Thierry Mugler founded his Paris fashion house in 1974. Angel (1992) — the first major gourmand fragrance, built on patchouli and ethyl maltol (a synthetic cotton candy note) — redefined modern femininity in perfumery and remains a top-10 global bestseller over 30 years later. It was the first fragrance to offer refillable bottles. Alien (2005) added a woody-white floral counterpart. The brand has rebranded simply as 'Mugler'. Owned by Clarins Group since 1997.
