What Does It Smell Like?

Accord Profile

Accord breakdown

Green-Gourmandtart-rhubarb + green pear + citrus lift30%

Customer interpretation

Rhubarb leaf and pear/green-fruit accords define the upfront character — multiple authoritative note lists and user discussions identify a tart green-gourmand opening that frames the composition (Fragrantica, PerfumeView, Parfumo). Source URLs: | |

Fauve Liana — Animalic-Vanilla Corepatented vegetal-animalic 'liana' fused with wolfwood animalic depth25%

Customer interpretation

Mugler's official material and editorial write-ups refer to a proprietary 'Fauve Liana' green/animalic accord and 'wolfwood' base tone; these provide the perfume's distinctive 'instinctive' vegetal-animal core that separates it from standard vanillas. Source URLs: | |

Vanillic — Warm Sweet Amberbourbon vanilla, coumarin, amberwood warmth20%

Customer interpretation

The base’s gourmand vanillic sweetness (bourbon vanilla and coumarin) and amberwood create the long-lasting warm core noted in editorial and aggregator bases, anchoring the fragrance to the gourmand family. Source URLs: |

Woody-Resinous Backbonesandalwood + dry woody notes + amberwood structure15%

Customer interpretation

Sandalwood and broader 'woody notes' are repeatedly cited in base note breakdowns and give the dry, resinous backbone that supports the gourmand-vanilla base. Source URLs: |

White-Flower Facetorange blossom / ylang-ylang floral lift in the heart10%

Customer interpretation

Orange blossom and ylang-ylang are listed in the advertised heart notes and editorial descriptions; they act as a soft floral counterpoint in the mid stage, adding waxy florals and smoothing the transition between green top notes and the vanillic base. Source URLs: |

What to expect

A bold, green-vanilla Mugler that fuses rhubarb leaf, orange blossom, and a woody-amber base for a long‑lasting, sensual statement—distinctive, polarizing, and best after dark.
