“Liqueurs de Parfums” Lovely for the Holidays According to Whom You Know


Mysterious alchemy


Initiate new experiments and provide constant surprise with innovative olfactory exploits by bringing a touch of the unexpected and fantastic to the world of perfumery: this is the goal of the Thierry Mugler brand.

Guided by his passion, Thierry Mugler provides a new take on traditional expertise through the encounter of two worlds of luxury: haute perfumery and prestigious liqueurs. He allows his most beautiful fragrances to mellow in wooden casks and creates limited editions:


“Liqueurs de Parfums”


The secret of a patented alchemy

In 2007, Thierry Mugler took on an olfactory challenge with “La Part des Anges”, a bold experiment that consisted of letting an extract of Angel perfume “age” in a cherry wood cask to obtain an extremely distilled fragrance. It was a creation that associated the talents of the master perfumer to those of the master wine maker.

The Liqueurs de Parfum utilize this expertise and take the experiment one step further. These distillations arise from an original and innovative maturation process, which is unique to the world of perfumes and protected by an exclusive patent, registered by Thierry Mugler. The result from the prolonged and knowingly orchestrated encounter between the eau de parfum or the eau de toilette and wood is a material as noble as it is precious.

To select the type of wood that would be perfectly adapted to the desired tonality and to the olfactory profile of each fragrance, Thierry Mugler collaborated with Seguin Moreau, the prestigious cooper, an inheritor of two centuries of casking tradition and internationally recognized know-how.

Finally, for each creation, the perfumer’s expertise defined maturation time in the wooden casks to be eight weeks to obtain a properly distilled fragrance.

Intoxicating Lusciousness


A multi-faceted, sensual perfume, Angel originated in the imagination of its creator, Thierry Mugler, from the area where the precious memories of childhood are found.

Angel Liqueur de Parfum now reveals the unknown facets of Angel Eau de Parfum and opens the door to a new fragrance experience. It is a true olfactory creation, honed by the perfumer’s skill.


Angel Liqueur de Parfum: a novel, luscious, distilled "oriental gourmand"

Inspired by the “manufacturing” techniques of prestigious cognacs and based on eight weeks of distillation in a cherry wood cask*, a mysterious alchemy occurs that adds a distinguished and innovative opulence to Angel Eau de Parfum.

In an infusion of lusciousness, Angel takes on the delicious tones of candied fruits with softly-honeyed overtones. Sensual and unexpected amber notes transcend the creation for true, concentrated seduction.
Finally, patchouli, which has also been distilled, develops a refined note and adds new depth to the fragrance…for never-ending intoxication.


The spell of a star
Created using the expertise of master glassmakers, the multi-faceted star bottle is a perfect vessel for Angel Liqueur de Parfum. Highlighted by lacquer in shades of intense blue, which varies as the light catches the facets, the bottle fascinates the eye.
Inspired by the stopper of a cognac decanter, the star at the top of the bottle is perfectly transparent and captures a beautiful play of light.

Alien Liqueur de Parfum: the re-interpretation of an amber, woody, solar floral creation

Textured, addictive variations reveal the richness of Alien Eau de Parfum after eight weeks of distillation in an oak cask*, a method inspired by the techniques for creating prestigious rums.

Subtle almond notes reveal and enhance with their exquisite roundness. The woody amber notes of Alien provide an unusual signature for a creation of intense sensuality.

A jewel with spirit
Carved like a precious stone, the Alien Liqueur de Parfum bottle features the transparency and sparkle of cut crystal, better to reveal the liqueur-like amber color of the fragrance.
