Mirror Mirror Collection - Miroir des Secrets

Sparkling bright aldehyde and a sweet earthy green patchouli from the beginning to the end. The musk is clean, and plays so well with the aldehyde and patch notes. I sense a very gentle cool and sweet floral note now and again - I very much want to say it is lilac. The floral is not always present , it is very subtle and pleasant when it shows itself. This is one of my most favorite of fragrances. Although the notes are not complex, it seems so womanly, with the vibrant aldehyde and the herbal patchouli . Not at all a 'head shop' or incensy patchouli. The Main Accords has listed 'warm spicy '. I never think 'spice' when I wear this, 'herbal' would be a much better description. It feels rich, but not pretentious. I have worn this through all seasons. I have had many compliments, and though - like I said, the notes are not complex - I feel this fragrance is unique when I wear this, and I wear it for myself . I also fear the aldehydes when reaching for the bottle, and the initial spritz, but my fears are quickly calmed , when the scent has been on my skin for mere seconds. Ahhh there it is :) A sample prompted me to purchase . I had sampled a few from the Thierry Mugler Miroir Collection, and this one had me falling ( and pulling out my credit card ) at first whiff ;) .

Beautiful fragrance....like Angel stripped down bare to the patchouli with most of the sweetness, chocolate, "loudness" and the overindulgent factor removed and citrus and aldehydes added. And a little floral. It reminds me slightly of Aqua Chic but without the pepper (and quite a few other things). It is the patchouli and musk part that is similar to Angel and some of the flankers. But without all the other stuff. Don't get me wrong, this is VERY different from Angel but the DNA is definitely there. The aldehydes used are not like the typical synthetic aldehydes we are used to smelling...way smoother and easier in the nostrils. I feel it is better for spring and summer but it could be worn year around. What I consider a fresh type of scent. Definitely unisex. Angel lovers could wear this to the office or in hot weather when Angel can be a bit much. But people who hate Angel may like this because they are so different. I love it, sniffed myself all day.

Ok, wow.... um, its so complex that there has to be more to this than i read up there. I get the patcholi but not typical. Very earthy and green, like walking through a orange grove that had a rainshower. Then, it sweetens up to a light cream with strong citrus. Its fantastic... The initial spray is nothing like the final whiff.. WOW WOW

I dont know what's in this bottle? But it stopped me in my tracks! I really like it, it is the best so far out of the mirror collection! I have not tried the miroir de voluptous yet! Thierry has a way with perfumes!He's an extremest!Keep it up!We love you!

I can sum up everything I have to say about this fragrance in one simple word, GORGEOUS. Well worth having for most all aldehyde freakazoids like myself.
