The opening is very green, feels almost minty; I associated it with herbal syrup or some digestive liqueur. After a while, the mintiness fades a bit and leaves a sweeter, mature yet fresh scent.
For me, a jewel of perfumery, very controversial; some hate it and others, like me, love it. This scent became very good friends with my skin. The opening I notice as rhubarb at its peak, juicy leaves and stalks that linger on my skin throughout its evolution. To be brief, the dry-down and base evolve with resinous and balsamic woods bathed in the wonderful and elegant sweetness of bourbon vanilla. I love the wonderful longevity and projection with just two sprays. I’ve read and heard many opinions, some very good and others quite negative, yet I decided to buy it blind because when I hear it’s a difficult scent, that’s where I go, because that’s my thing: different fragrances.
At first, I loved it, but then I smelled a Sugus mint candy. It’s a synthetic, sweet mint… however, I don’t hate it, but the pear-mint blend doesn’t make me fall in love either. My boyfriend thought it smelled great, but he doesn’t understand much about perfumes, though that doesn’t matter when it comes to knowing if a scent appeals to you or not.
A scent I’d define as very Mugler due to its rarity, which I’ve tested a couple of times. The one I remember most was the first time, at the airport, in the middle of summer (MISTAKE). I loved the opening, very fresh and green, with the astringency of rhubarb gently sweetened by pear. I was thinking it would be a good addition to my collection when it suddenly took a 180-degree turn into my dreaded territory of pasty vanilla, which ended up being the only thing I and everyone around me could smell during the flight, as the sillage is quite strong and long-lasting (about 5 hours of strong sillage, but I could still detect it after 12 hours or so). If you’re a vanilla bourbon fanatic, it’s an interesting fragrance to try; but if you don’t like sweet and gourmand perfumes, stay away! Due to its extra sweetness, I see it as an exclusive feminine fragrance for autumn-winter (in cold climates, this vanilla is much less aggressive), preferably for night or for use in very open spaces during the day due to its potency. Out of all the Aura scents, it’s the one that impacted me the most but the one I liked the least. Pleasant: 6/10, Interesting: 9/10, Versatile: 5/10, Original: 9/10.
Well, it seems the good stuff doesn’t last long. At Sephora in Paris, they told me they discontinued it and Mugler is no longer shipping it.
I went to try this perfume with low expectations due to the negative reviews I’d seen, but it surprised me for the better. It doesn’t seem like an overly complex or controversial scent as I’d read; instead, it’s a mysterious and original fragrance with that distinct Mugler touch also found in the famous Alien. Green notes dominate alongside orange blossom and a touch of sweet vanilla, but it’s not overwhelming. I see it as ideal for spring/summer; it’s very fresh and reminiscent of nature. Projection and longevity are very good, though not an intensity bomb; it’s well-balanced. I like it a lot; it’s on my wish list for warm climates.
The opening is very green; it reminded me of a cough syrup 😷, but after a few hours, a sweet and enveloping vanilla emerges. I barely tested it and felt hatred, thinking it wasn’t for me. Haha, then I retested it on my skin and fell in love. I can’t live without it. NOTE: Don’t buy blind, it’s a love/hate fragrance; you might get a great surprise. Scent 10/10, Longevity 10/10, Sillage 10/10, Packaging 10/10, Versatility 10/10, Value/Quality 10/10. Would I buy it again? Always 💚❤️
I went to test it on my skin at a perfumery because its price in my country is sky-high for buying blind… thank God it only lasted 3 hours on me. It’s very green with a very sweet note, like fructose syrup. I wouldn’t buy it.
I tested the decant before reading reviews, but after checking several, I confirm they’re right: at first it smells like mouthwash, then Gaviscon, then Listerine, and finally something chalky and minty. I feel like these are stages of my life: when I was a singer with pharyngitis and lozenges, when I was chubby and had acid reflux, or my obsessive hygiene phase taking Listerine straight. I don’t get it, Mugler. I know taste is subjective, but WTF.
It delivers on all my expectations of being a unique perfume. The orange blossom is very prominent, along with the pear and the vanilla base. That green note is also very present, reminding me a lot of wintergreen with that camphoraceous-herbal mint scent. I love it. It’s totally different.
Without a doubt, the prettiest bottle I’ve ever seen… It looks like you just poured a bottle of absinthe on yourself. Projection: 000. Longevity: 100 (unfortunately). Scent: 😫. Presentation and originality: 💎. Occasion: A mosquito-filled night 😝.
Lots of power and personality. Definitely not something to buy blindly. I thought I’d like it because of the rhubarb, orange blossom, bergamot, vanilla, and sandalwood, but the green notes were too strong, and for me, it was a resounding NO. I’m not saying it’s ugly, just that it doesn’t suit me. It’s different, distinct from what’s on the market. These are fragrances you need to test on skin to see how they evolve, as a different note emerges after a few hours. If you can, give it a try.
Extremely rare, I agree with the comment below; it’s a perfume that makes you say ‘WTF’. It smells like a mix of herbal syrup, peppermint mouthwash, and Fernet; curiously, I don’t dislike it, but it feels very synthetic. If you have the chance, try it; it’s a whole experience, whether it’s good or bad depends on each person.
Out of all my perfumes, this is the rarest one. Describing a Mugler is tough—they’re incredibly complex. Whoever said it’s like ‘entering a magical tropical jungle at night’ was closer to the truth. On me, the green notes, ylang-ylang, and vanilla stand out. It’s not the best performer; its trail and longevity are scarce. It’s green, sweet, and balsamic. If you like smelling like this, it’s your fragrance. For me, who prefers fruity-floral and aquatic scents, I didn’t like it, so I won’t repurchase. Never buy a Mugler blindly.
Not for everyone, definitely. It’s uncommon and very different from anything I’ve smelled before: super herbal but with a sweet vanilla touch. I really feel the green notes and bergamot, which later transform into woods bathed in a very special, slightly powdery, and sugary vanilla. It has its own personality; it’s for the bold who don’t want to be like everyone else. I absolutely love it; it’s totally Mugler.
I went to test it and I loved the fresh opening, different from everything… until the vanilla invaded. I hate vanilla and my pH makes it stand out even more. It doesn’t smell like repellent or syrup; it’s fresh, green, with a mentholated note that reminded me of Sauvage or one of Zara’s scents, then it turns sweet, vanilla-like, and slightly spicy. You have to test it on skin before buying.
I wore it today in Chile, on a sunny 24°C autumn day, and it was a bad idea; it gave me nausea even though it’s one of my favorites. I recommend it only for cold weather, with no hint of mildness, or the vanilla will overwhelm you.
I tried it today and it doesn’t smell like Listerine or cleaner. It’s sweet and fresh, with ylang-ylang and vanilla taking the lead without being heavy. I loved it, it has that strange and wonderful touch typical of Mugler.
I loved it. Smells like fresh, freshly chopped kiwi—tart and sweet. I didn’t test it on skin, but it’s super unique. What more can you say that hasn’t already been said? Like all Mugler, test it before buying 😉
Green, spicy, and with a citrus-fruit touch that blends into an amber-vanilla base. On my skin, the vanilla and amber take over, leaving the green and spice as a foundation. The freshly chopped kiwi is the key! It’s unique, perfect when you don’t want something commercial. Like all Mugler scents, I tested it extensively before buying; it’s not a beast in terms of sillage, only strong for the first two hours, after which it’s for intimate enjoyment. Perfect for a cool spring.
It won’t suit everyone; it’s essential to smell it on skin before buying. On some people, it smells fresher than sweet; on me, that mentholated scent lasts only a few minutes, then it’s pure vanilla and wood. I don’t recommend it in summer; it gives me a headache and I can’t enjoy it, but in winter it’s a delight. It’s not my favorite, but I enjoy it for the memory and the vanilla scent. I’m a gourmand lover, but I think it’s a bit invasive and can make people dizzy who don’t love this type of scent. I give it 8.5/10 because it’s not very versatile, but it has excellent longevity and sillage.
I’m starting this review with a broken heart. I feel obligated to warn about the official discontinuation of this beautiful scent. A gem from Mugler and one of their latest creations. For me, it’s wonderful: vanilla (the most exquisite in my collection) and rhubarb, that note that gives a delicious, beautiful, almost magical greenness. The heart seems taken straight from a fantasy-worthy jungle. It’s the heart of Mother Nature in your hands. It’s a tamed, precious tiger running to touch you, but those claws don’t hurt; they caress you. I don’t usually stock up on my fragrances, but I couldn’t help but get an extra bottle and refill them. My heart is broken because perfumery takes the best. Sending hugs to lovers of this fragrance.
COMPLETELY DELICIOUS. A sweet and elegant perfume; all Mugler scents have that DNA of a person who sparks conversation, with the distinctive vanilla and a spectacular rhubarb note 10/10. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find and discontinued, so if you see it, don’t hesitate to buy it.
Aura and I had a relationship that escalated exponentially. When it first came out, I didn’t like it and chose its Sensuelle version instead. Later, a sample of an equivalent won me over completely. I searched for the discontinued version and found a 30ml bottle without a box. I used it twice and looked for a refill; now I have 90ml and use the small one without fear. If I hadn’t liked it, it would be one of the few with a refill. The scent is shocking at first: deeply green and medicinal with a delicious vanilla base. Both facets fight to be the star, and I enjoy the battle. At first, the greens and rhubarb win, but vanilla takes over with time. It’s magical, evoking wild yet calm nature, the perfect signature for the elves of Lothlórien, a strange gourmand for those who’ve tried rhubarb desserts. I apply it generously; it has good projection and lasts over 12 hours. Ours seemed impossible but it was true love. Scent 8.5/10, Longevity 10/10, Sillage 8/10, Value 8.5/10, Versatility 7.5/10, Packaging 8.5/10. Would I buy it again? A thousand times.
I met it on a summer day; the opening didn’t quite convince me, but the next day it was a surprise. It’s slightly mentholated, but that vanilla makes it different: sweet yet fresh, hard to explain. I enjoy it more in the heat for that underlying ‘mint’ that isn’t actually mint, hehe. I haven’t heard anything similar. I recommend it if you can handle a fresh, medicinal-type scent (that part is temporary), as long as that little note stays soft throughout the fragrance’s life.
Well, what can I say… it has me obsessed, I even feel like putting it on an altar. My boyfriend gifted it to me blind for my birthday, and it was a huge hit. The opening smells like Vick VapoRub and might impact some people. It contrasts a very green eucalyptus side with a warm, vanilla side, all blended into a balanced whole. I hate that it’s discontinued because it breaks my heart to use it up.
I can’t find anything negative about this. I love it; it feels original. I don’t know another green vanilla, and I adore it in winter. Its herbal note feels medicinal but in a good way. Since I enjoy aromatherapy, it reminds me of those oils sometimes.
Aura is a one-of-a-kind perfume, the Pink Floyd of designer scents, and it hurts that they discontinued it. On my skin, the opening smells like the pharmacy where my mom used to work, and soon the vanilla appears to sweeten it. It’s GREEN, green, and perfect. What can we do?
A beautiful, unique fragrance with its own personality. The opening is strong for the first hour, then it fades, but you can tell. I absolutely love it. Not suitable for blind buys.
It’s pure green forest, smelling of petrichor but elegant and feminine with a touch of jasmine. While it’s super fresh, there’s something warm lingering deep in the background. Once it settles, that woodiness makes it undeniably unisex.
What an exquisite perfume. I haven’t even waited to see the evolution: the opening has been a caress of green leaves in a forest full of fairies, slightly sharp but not unpleasant. Contradictory as it may be, I feel it fresh and warm at the same time.
I was very curious about the Aura scent because of its elegant packaging, but upon feeling its aroma, it’s clearly for different women with demanding and developed senses; it’s not for everyone 😍. It’s unique, making you close your eyes when you apply it, happy with my purchase.❤️
In an era where loud, invasive perfumes abound, Aura is a rare bird with a supremely balanced scent, where all the notes act like a perfectly tuned orchestra. This doesn’t mean it’s an easy perfume or one that doesn’t attract attention; its undeniable originality makes it polarizing. Take the number of ‘I hate this’ comments on Fragrantica as an example, which has dragged its rating down to figures unworthy of the quality it treasures. To me, it smells green but not medicinal or mentholated as some readers have claimed, with a floral aspect that brings to mind a crystal-clear lake in the middle of a forest on a spring morning with a certain dew. All this rests on a woody, vanilla base without turning into a sweet or cloying perfume. I smell it and smell it again without getting tired; it’s a truly beautiful and original creation. Its floral touches and the fragility it conveys make it an eminently feminine perfume, yet it resembles so little the perfumes women typically wear that I believe it can pass as unisex without much trouble. It almost seems more like a niche composition due to how evocative it is and because it doesn’t fit into commercial trends at all. I’m not surprised that given its singularity, it was discontinued in the blink of an eye. I’m quite clear that in a few years it will have cult status, remaining as one of the last creations that still had that differential, avant-garde imprint of Mugler.
Well, after searching for a sample for so long, I finally got to smell it, and what a beauty! How much time I wasted not using this perfume!!! Aura is herbal, but not a pasty, bitter herbal scent; it’s wrapped in spectacular vanilla. It’s a sweet herb, an enchanted forest. It’s pure magic ❤️ It doesn’t smell medicinal; don’t be afraid. That fresh mint blends with the rest of the sweet notes; it’s not sharp. It’s very, very addictive (**). The most divine part is the dry down, where the vanilla and woods concentrate in a majestic way, and the herb is no longer the main focus but continues there softly. Is this a perfume to buy without testing? If you like very, very sweet flowers, maybe this vanilla-infused herb will appeal to you. Or if you like the classic Cacharel Eden, you might like this! But if your style is gourmand, for example, and nature scents don’t call to you, Aura is a definitive NO. If you’re undecided, I’d say you must try it. It’s not a very conventional aroma. And the bottle, UFFF, words fail me. It’s green magic 💚 🌿 🪵🍮🍬
I was nervous about this blind buy, but as a fig lover, I’ve never been put off by green notes. What a delicious perfume arrived! I don’t feel the green as heavy; instead, it’s soft. The opening on my skin is immediately sweet, with the pear taking the lead. I sense violet, though it’s not listed in the notes. The green leaves are very in the background, and the vanilla blends seamlessly with the pear. The ylang-ylang is very soft. I really liked it. Just two light sprays, and it could easily be a signature scent. I’ll keep updating this as I wear it over the coming days. I still love Mugler’s Alien more, but we’ll see how my sense of smell evolves. PS: I have no idea where people got the idea that it smells like Vicks VapoRub or Listerine; I don’t even get a menthol vibe. For anyone like me looking for reviews to decide whether to buy it, don’t be scared. It’s an exquisite, different perfume in a good way. You’ll turn heads, but in a positive manner. PD: Well, I wore it for a week but had to set it aside because it got tiring. It’s very invasive without being a strong perfume; it seems to get stuck in your brain and feels sharp. It’s exquisite, but something in my stomach was triggered. I started using it with just two very short sprays because it overwhelmed me (previously I used three), then I’d only put one spray on the back of my neck because it felt too cloying. It’s truly delicious, just a bit cloying and overwhelming. I think I’ll leave it for a couple of weeks to recover from its invasion, but I insist it’s delicious. However, something in my stomach prevents me from wearing it again for now. I’ll return to it if my stomach allows. PD2: I used it again recently (over a month later), and it still triggers me on a cellular level. I realized it’s in the ‘aftersmell’ or ‘backsmell’—that aroma that lingers when you exhale. That lingering trace is what affects me the most. I insist it’s very rich, maybe not for everyday wear, but only for occasions where you want to show off as ‘special’ because it’s an atypical, unparalleled scent. Use it with discretion. The first time, I sprayed it all over, which left me with that sense of olfactory exhaustion.
Such a controversial perfume… so many people smell menthol or medicine on it, probably depending on their skin chemistry. My personal experience: its performance is bombastic on my skin. Once dry, it smells like a crushed sweet pear with a resinous, woody vanilla, accompanied throughout by the rhubarb note from its intense opening all the way to the base, though less prominently. I love this perfume; I wear it in winter and couldn’t bear to use it in summer heat. I think it’s very important to test it on skin because it’s a very chameleon-like scent, and its chemistry might not play nice with all skin types.
I ran out of it and I really regret it.
I’m a nature lover, and honestly, this perfume is perfect for me. In spring, even when it’s freezing (I live in southernmost Chile), the sweet scent feels incredibly pleasant; many people gasp when they smell it. Now that spring has arrived, I can wear it in full splendor… I’m a 26-year-old girl, but my 60-year-old mom absolutely loves it too. It doesn’t last long on my skin, honestly, but on clothes it’s fragrant… It’s the most complex perfume I own, very herbal. I like wearing it when I’m dressed in green. I have other Mugler perfumes, and I think this is the softest one; I wear it during the day.
Like all Mugler scents, this is a bold, unique, and challenging fragrance. I don’t think it will appeal to a beginner’s nose; it’s for people who crave something sui generis. Despite all the hype, it didn’t catch my eye enough to buy. However, I received a decant to try it out. Right from the start, I detect green and herbal notes, which dominate the opening. The florals are there, but they’re very shy. As it dries down, it becomes a mix of woods and amber; on my skin, I don’t really get the vanilla. Overall, it’s a herbal-woody scent. It has the vibe of Cacharel’s Eden (not that it’s similar, but it reminded me of certain components I’ve smelled in Eden). As an olfactory experience, it was pleasant to get to know, but I wouldn’t add it to my collection. Not because it’s a bad fragrance, but because I can’t see many occasions to wear it.
Wow! I call this a true olfactory experience. I’ve had this aura for a few years but never could pull it off because the rhubarb was too strong and herbal for me. I don’t know what happened in my closet, but on a rainy Saturday in Buenos Aires, around 22 degrees, I sprayed it and magic happened: it smells like bourbon vanilla mixed with some herb that takes me back to the magnetism of Escada and my beloved first perfume, Colors by Benetton. Today, this could be the perfume I’d choose for a romantic date, yippee!
