Mirror Mirror Collection - Miroir des Envies

One note listed? What's up with that? There's so much more than that going on here. I get what everyone is saying about the "bread" or "biscotti" note. Personally the note is more like biscotti, but not with any spices or anything, more of a yeasty-bready smelling biscotti, and NOT sweet or dipped in anything. Just the biscotti alone and naked. It's kinda reminiscent of the bready notes in Serge Lutens Jeux de Peau. There is definitely something weird there. Not weird in a bad way, just weird in a Mugler way ;) The scent is not in any way sweet or gourmand at all, not even a little bit, but it is comforting in the same manner that sweets are. I have to give it to him, this is quite a unique scent. You could say all jasmine is the same but you'd be dead wrong. Mugler has a way with florals that make them much more appealing to me than anyone I've discovered thus far. I don't know if everyone would really appreciate this scent though. It's quite unusual, and although I like the way it smells on my skin, I'm not sure I would like to smell like this all day. Hope that makes sense. 10/10 for creativity 9/10 for sillage 8.5/10 for wearability 9.5/10 for likeability! EDIT: I just got myself a bottle of this! It's amazing!!!! The mirrored box is gorgeous, and so is the bottle. The scent is even better when it's sprayed on. I am so in love! <3 This is seriously the most unique jasmine scent I have ever smelled and I am completely INTOXICATED by its aroma. Just divine. You must sample this if you have any affinity for jasmine!

I purchased this one 4 years ago and ended up sending it back the same day, I thought it was repulsive. I just could not understand the mastery behind it, since I was just venturing into the "world beyond " when it comes to perfumes. Recently, I started repurchasing all the perfumes that I got rid of, including Deliria, and I discovered that I quite enjoy them now. So Miroir des Envies was the next on my list since I love Mugler. It took some searching, but I was finally able to find a full bottle, after purchasing a mini and having my mind blown by it. Miroir des Envies is gorgeous. I have no idea how to describe it; it smells like you are having breakfast right under the jasmine bush (or is jasmine actually a vine?), a breakfast that involves some kind of yeasty dough, not necessarily bread, but something baked and salty. That was the note that initially confused the heck out of me and made me return it. I don't understand why Jasmine is a solitary note listed for this perfume, but there must be something more to it, and I doubt there is another perfume that smells closely to M des E. This is in no way white floral, it is actually a gourmand, and a good one at that. Miroir des Envies is going on the top of my list. It is that good.

This is gorgeous. I purposely didn’t read the reviews before testing this as I didn’t want to be influenced and wanted to see what I smelled by myself. First off it was very gourmand. I thought I smelled baked goods like cakes or cookies. Very sweet. But not at all in a sickly or cloying way. Just a lovely sweet cake. Now I have read the reviews and seen the note listed is Jasmine. This can’t be the only note. Lots of people are talking about buttered toast. I’m not getting toast but when I sniff from the bottle I get buttered popcorn. Though on my skin it is sweeter like cake. It could also be the jasmine note causing the sweetness. This jasmine is nothing like in Alien. I see no similarities with this fragrance and Alien. This scent is more delicate. It’s good enough to eat but does not smell juvenile in any way. I think people would want to hug you when you are wearing this. These Mirror Mirror scents keeps getting better for me. What a shame I only discovered them now.

If you could bake jasmine cookies with walnuts inside - that would be it. The warmest, driest, surrealistic, yet very natural jasmine. Mind you, it is not fresh and moist. More like getting fried on the bright sunshine flowery-bush. As usual with Mugler's house - innovative and very avant-garde. Will be loved by those, who appreciate Luten's Jeaux de Peau and Praline de Santal of Generale. Yet Miroir des Envies more bitchy and on "I will eat you!" side, rather than "Eat Me, babe"

I simply love this perfume, makes me think of Sunday mornings in bed with toast. I'm wearing this beauty in the summer as I feel the warmth extends the perfume and it fits right in the summer vibe. It lasts quite long with me and people love the smell, it's something original and totally different. Love!
