Two lovely collectible mini perfumes from Thierry Mugler’s iconic ‘A’ List. Angel was created in 1992 and was so ground breaking a new fragrance category – gourmand – had to be created to describe it. Now, almost three decades later, and slightly modified, it’s still one of the best selling perfumes in the world. Enjoy the sweet notes of bergamot, red berries, vanilla and patchouli is this new refillable collectible Angel Eau to Go.
Alien is the perfect name for this individualistic and popular scent. It’s a floral, but not like any other you’ve tried. Mugler knows how to make sexy fragrances, and Alien stands out like a hot woman in a tight dress, stiletto heels, and bold lips at a PTA meeting. The outstanding note is jasmine and it hits you – it really hits you – and positively radiates for hours. After the jasmine blast comes some lovely wood and amber. The Alien Eau to Go is perfect for the confident woman who loves compliments.
Each fragrance is housed in a nicely sculpted 10 ml spray bottle with the iconic Angel blue and Alien purple colors. These eau de parfums are $30 each and refillable at your favorite Mugler fragrance counter.

Notes of sandalwood, sea salt, lime and coconut wood makes it a wonderful shared/unisex summer or vacation scent. The yellow striped spray bottle contains 10ml and is $24.
