Mugler Aura Eau De Parfum Sensuelle

Hi there! Today’s post is about a fragrance I’ve been wearing on and off since August (or so) – Mugler Aura Eau De Parfum Sensuelle. This fragrance has the following notes: gardenia and cinnamon leaf (top notes), green notes (heart notes), and white musk and sandalwood (base notes).

This is an unusual but very wearable fragrance. It smells green, but at the same time it’s sweet. It reminds me of sweet woodruff and strawberry leaves with herbal (almost medicinal) undertones.

It’s one of those fragrances that are very hard to describe. I don’t think this one is a safe blind buy, but if you like the original Aura, this one is similar (although the original Aura is better).

Whilst I like this fragrance, I wouldn’t actually recommend it because it’s rather faint, and it only lasts about 2-3 hours on my skin. I have to spray A LOT (think body mist) to get a half-decent scent cloud.

If you’re interested, Mugler Aura Eau De Parfum Sensuelle is available as 30ml and 50ml. I paid £34.95 for the 50ml. Ultimately, the price will depend on where you shop! 😉

Hi there! Since I’ve been shopping a lot lately, I thought I’d let you know what I got my hands on. It’s mainly stuff from the bargain stores and discounted gift sets from the post-Christmas sale. OK, here’s everything I picked up!

Thierry Mugler Aura gift set£32.66. Debenhams.

Max & More No. 4 Nude Eyeshadow Palette£2. I haven’t heard of Max & More, so I looked up the brand… apparently it’s a cruelty-free brand from the Netherlands. Fantastic stuff!

Max & More No. 1 Forest Eyeshadow Palette£2. I found these palettes at Poundland.

Primark Holler And Glow Nails Before Tails Nail Polish Set£4.
Patisserie De Bain Raspberry Roulade Hand Cream, Orange Crush Hand Cream£1 each.

The Patisserie De Bain products are Poundland finds!

These body butters are from Poundstretcher!

YSL Cinéma Eau de Parfum£31.50 (half price offer, Debenhams).
Malki Dead Sea Natural Sulphur Soap x2, £3.75 each and a 3 for 2 offer, so I am pretty annoyed that Boots forgot the 3rd item – but I have dropped them an email, and I hope they send me the missing Dead Sea soap asap.

The Crème Shop Santa’s List Charcoal Sheet Mask (pack of 5)£4.99.
The Crème Shop Pumpkin Spice Fusion Sheet Mask (pack of 5) £4.99.
These masks are from TK Maxx!

Another TK Maxx find!

Sanctuary Spa gift set£7. Boots.

Another Sanctuary Spa gift set. This one contains a shower gel, luxury bath float, body butter and hand cream. These are all full sizes. I’m sorry I haven’t opened this one yet. 1 at a time! This set was £12.50. Boots.

Sanctuary Spa gift set number 3 – £10. Yes, Boots again.

Soap & Glory Clean On Me and Scrub Of Your Life. These came in a gift set with…

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter, Hand Food and 2 bath bombs. I am not going to use the bath bombs. They’re glittery. I’ll give them to the first person who wants them. The gift set with all 6 products was £10. Boots.

Creightons Hand CreamsArgan Oil, Cocoa Butter, Manuka Honey. I am not sure how much these were, but I’ll check the next time I swing by Home Bargains.

2 more Patisserie De Bain Hand Creams – these were £1 each. Poundland.

Boots No.7 gift set – this set contains all sorts of goodies. It was £39 (better than half price offer before the sale even started). Boots.

And finally… I bought 2 more George at Asda duvet cover sets. They’re king size, and they were £14 each. I love these designs! However, I need to stop buying duvet cover sets. I bought 6 over the past year, and even though I got rid of all the old (very old, actually) duvet cover sets, I have more than enough now.

*** By the way, please remember not to dispose of unwanted textiles of any kind (clothes, towels, bedding, etc) with your household rubbish. Your local charity shop will gladly accept items in good condition, H&M and other high street stores run textile recycling schemes (H&M accepts clothes and household textiles like towels and bedding), and animal shelters are usually happy to accept towels and duvet covers (but not duvets as they’re difficult to clean and they can’t be recycled). ***

Thierry Mugler Cologne

Hi there! Today’s review is about Thierry Mugler’s Cologne (which I have several samples of). And in the spirit of using my samples, I’ve now been wearing this fragrance for a few days.

OK, before we start, Mugler Cologne contains the following notes: bergamot, neroli, petitgrain, orange blossom, ‘S’ molecule and white musk. There’s a question mark behind the ‘S’ molecule – apparently it’s a super secret fragrant molecule.
Thierry Mugler Mugler Cologne
Mugler Cologne is all about bergamots and orange flowers. It’s a classic (some would say old-fashioned) cologne scent. It’s not the most original fragrance, but it’s well done. It’s pure, fresh and clean – definitely a good choice for spring and summer – and I think it’s perfectly unisex.

If you love the scent of classic colognes and bergamots, you’d probably like Mugler Cologne which is available as 100ml for around £30.
