Eau de Parfum - Women

Mugler Alien is an amber, woody, and floral eau de parfum for women, in the iconic refillable 60 ml bottle. Mugler describes it as a radiant and sensual solar goddess, built around jasmine, cashmere wood, and white amber. The violet bottle, cut like a gemstone, can be refilled.

What it smells like

• Top notes: Indian sambac jasmine, the solar face of the fragrance.
• Heart notes: cashmere wood, an enigmatic wood with a clear musk note.
• Base notes: a soft and enveloping white amber accord, which Mugler compares to white mohair.

Perfumer Dominique Ropion speaks of the strangeness of a trio: jasmine, cashmeran, and molecules evoking grey amber. Hence comes Alien's mysterious character.

How to apply it

1. Mugler recommends spraying a cloud of fragrance in the air and walking through it, so it settles on your hair and clothes.
2. You can then add one spray to each pulse point: wrists, neck, inner elbow.
3. Apply to clean, moisturized skin.
4. Let it settle on its own without rubbing it into your skin.
5. Start with a little: Alien is powerful even in small doses.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Pure Musc is an eau de parfum for women, the purest version of the For Her signature. It can be worn alone or as a base over which you can layer any other fragrance from the For Her collection. The bottle contains 50 ml.

What it smells like

• Main notes: orange blossom, jasmine, a heart of musk and cashmeran.

The brand does not publish a fragrance pyramid, but rather these notes. Musk is at the center, clean and soft. Around it is a bouquet of white flowers, with orange blossom, jasmine and ylang-ylang. Cashmeran envelops it in a comfortable warmth.

How to apply it

1. Spray Pure Musc on clean skin, on the neck and wrists.
2. Do not hold the nozzle too close to the skin; a small distance distributes the fragrance evenly.
3. Let it dry without rubbing.
4. If you want to layer, then spray another For Her fragrance on the same points.
5. For a subtle effect, wear it alone, with one or two sprays.

Ajmal Sonnet is a fresh, floral, and amber eau de parfum for women. Ajmal says it was created for a dynamic and cheerful woman and that it combines freshness with warmth and a sweet, gourmand note. It comes in a 100 ml bottle.

What it smells like

• Top notes: bergamot and almonds.
• Heart notes: orange blossom and tuberose.
• Base notes: sandalwood, amber, and vanilla.

The top is the fresh part you smell in the first few minutes. This is followed by the floral heart, and finally the woody and amber base, which gives the perfume its warmth and sweetness.

When to wear it

Ajmal recommends it for any occasion: an ordinary day in the city, an important meeting, or an evening with friends.

How to apply it

1. Spray on clean, moisturized skin before getting dressed.
2. Aim for the wrists and décolletage.
3. Keep the bottle at a distance from the skin to prevent droplets from forming.
4. Do not rub. Tuberose and orange blossom smell better if the perfume is allowed to dry on its own.
5. Apply less during the day, and in the evening you can add a spray to the back of your neck.

Specifications

What else you might need

• Sonnet Sample, 1.5 ml
• Ajmal Aurum, eau de parfum for women, 75 ml
• Ajmal My Wonder, eau de parfum for women, 85 ml

Ajmal Sacred Love is a fresh, floral, and musky eau de parfum for women. Ajmal describes it as a romantic and warm fragrance that blends the freshness of citrus with delicate flowers. The red bottle contains 50 ml.

What it smells like

• Top notes: fresh, vibrant citrus and violet, which greet you upon the first spray.

How to apply it

1. Spray it in the morning on clean skin after showering.
2. Choose your wrists, neck, and the back of your ears.
3. Hold the bottle slightly away from your skin and spray briefly.

2. Spray on the wrists, décolletage, and behind the ears.
3. Hold the bottle at a short distance so that the fragrance spreads evenly.
