Thierry Mugler has now created an innovative set of fragrances inspired by the movie "Perfume: Story of a Murderer" starring Dustin Hoffman, Alan Rickman and Ben Wishaw.
Thierry Mugler was born in 1948, in Strasbourg, France. He actually began his career as a dancer, but in 1967 he began designing and also worked as a photographer. In 1974 he launched his clothing line and did his first haute couture runway show in 1992. All of his clothes are designed to be comfortable to move and express yourself in. In 1990 he launched his perfume range. It is for that which he is now best known.
Whether it is fashion, cosmetics or fragrances everything which Thierry creates is inspired by a higher artistic theme. One of science fiction, the celestial and metamorphosis.
As a child Thierry would lie on the ground on summer nights and watch the stars waiting for a shooting star. This was the inspiration behind the bottle for Angel. To this day stars remain an inspiration and can be seen on most of Thierry's perfume bottle. He created the perfume and bottle in an icy blue to symbolise capturing a piece of the sky and celestial dreams. For the fragrance he wanted to create a duality of a fragrance for a grown woman, a diva but also one with hints of being an innocent child.
Perfume: Story of a Murderer
This inspired set contains 15 fragrances and is inspired by the book and film of the same name. For a review of the film read this article. In the film, a character named Grenouille creates a fragrance which surpasses all other fragrances and is the most sublime scent ever smelt by man. Unfortunately, to get his ingredients he becomes a murderer. The set contains less macabre ingredients than those in the movie (which is made up of the scents of recently deceased virgins). The non-murderous set contains:
Baby - 25 ingredients blended to capture the sweet-sour and milky scent that a freshly cleaned baby's skin exudes.
Paris 1738 - the unpleasant scent of the streets of Paris.
Atelier Grimal - The scent of tanned animal skins.
Virgin No. 1 - Pure and innocent
Boutique Baldini - The smell of the inside of Baldini's shop (a perfume shop).
Amor & Psyche - A best seling perfume in the book
Nuit Napolitaine - The scent that Grenouille creates when making Amor & Psyche better.
Ermite - A mineral fragrance.
Salon Rouge - In his dreams, the place where Grenouille gets drunk on scents whose formulas he alone knows.
Human Existence - The human-being odor that Grenouille needed as he himself had no smell.
Absolu Jasmin - The flower harvested in Grasse where Grenouille worked.
Sea - A marine scent
Noblesse - Human Existence is elevated to sophistication.
Orgie - The scent of pure sensuality
Aura - Grenouille's masterpiece. This scent captures that very special je-ne-sais-quoi, that charisma which every women (and man) wants to radiate. To ensure that the elixir harmonizes with all 12 of the current main fragrance families, Aura contains one or several ingredients from each respective group. This makes the formula unbelieavably complex - it comprises 84 ingredients.Thierry Mugler's Other Perfumes
