Mirror Mirror Collection - Miroir des Voluptes

6 March 2016: Mirroir des Voluptes is a definite love for me. Truly beautiful. The main players on my skin are oud, rose and tobacco. The other notes play supporting roles, making the oud and rose truly shine! Initially it is a little overwhelming until it starts to dry down. I wish I had bought 2 bottles while I had the chance. There is no longer any stock where I managed to find it, and quite by accident too as it had been listed under their Lancome stock. Such a pity I left it too late to order a backup bottle. I have since tested M7 Oud Absolu, Esteel Lauder Wood Mystique and Amber Mystique, have not come across Juliet has a Gun Midnight Oud as yet. They are also beautiful but in totally different ways, definitely not the the same, none have that same absolutely stunning oud that Thierry Mugler's Miroir des Voluptes has. I love the way this develops on my skin and transports me far away to some gloriously majestic place, so beautiful! I fear my words are not able to do this perfume justice in a review, I love it too much to think clearly!! The longevity is amazing, it lasts till my next shower and even afterwards I can notice the faint sweet oud. Silage is also very good but won't knock anyone out unless you apply heavily. I give it a 10/10 Edit 27 July 2022: I am wearing this beauty today and for the life of me I can smell the most gorgeous honey note under the agar and sandalwood, tobacco and rose. The note isn't listed but I saw someone else has also commented on it. Just sublime! It is the most beautiful ritual to open the mirrored box, slide out the mesmerising bottle and then spay. Still loving this masterpiece of a perfume 💗

So I just caved in and bought this for my birthday, hopefully my last purchase of the year lol! I'll update this when it comes, I hope I loveeeeeeee it! EDIT: I finalllllly received this after the seller sent me the wrong one. I must say it was not what I was expecting at all, but not in a bad way. I was searching for an exotic scent yet did not expect it to be so sophisticated and clean! I agree with someone's comment on the opening to be medicinal, it was on me as well, but not for more than 10 seconds so I didn't mind it. After that I get predominantly woods, sandalwood according to the notes. The amber and oud are there but it is very well blended, making it warm and inviting like a big blanket. This will definitely be a favorite of mine on the rare occasion that it is cold here and on dreary rainy nights. After 6 hours, including a visit to the gym, it is still alive and kicking. It is softer now but still not to the point I need to bury my nose in my wrist. I believe the rose has finally come out to play beneath the wood pile. I do not see this as masculine, perhaps as mentioned below in the middle east, but for me I can see it much more easily worn by a confident woman who is secure in her femininity and not afraid to think outside of the box. This isn't one of those generic scents that all of your friends will run out to the store and buy and in that I find great comfort. So if this sounds like you then I highly enjoy it! Bravooooo Thierry Mugler! Originality 10/10 Longevity 10/10 Sillage 10/10

I am so extremely fortunate to have found a bottle of this fragrance!!! Ever since I became obsessed with the Mugler house, this particular perfume seemed unattainable.. I already own Mirroir des Majestes, but the notes in Voluptes were calling to me because I love the rose/oud combo, plus the reviews of this having a honey note sold me. One day this popped up on Ebay and I just had to have it!! First spray, this is a honey bomb!! I absolutely love honey in general, it is one of my favorite foods and I love the scent. I know honey isn't in the notes, but for real it is a massive honey scent at first! Once it develops, I get super powdery/oudy rose, and I'm absolutely in love with it!! It might smell old-fashioned or, dare I say, "grandma" to the untrained nose, but I am totally here for it. Rose/oud are my favorite scent profiles right now, and the added honey note just puts me in heaven. Its so powdery and gorgeous and lovely! It smells absolutely amazing in warmer weather too! So blessed to have Voluptes in my collection!!

Добавям: това беше първият ми Мюглер в пълна опаковка, преди това не ми се струваха интересни, след като го поносих, започнах да разносвам проби и от другите ми налични от марката, е, спечелиха ме наистина. Заявените нотки в пирамидите на ароматите на тази марка винаги са интерпретирани много интересно и в никакъв случай не разчитайте на буквален прочит. Допълвам след известно време: oud, който мога да нося и роза са нотките, които усещам най-силно отначало, донякъде ми напомня на Calamity J в тази фаза, но после тръгват в различни посоки, съставките са в баланс, който опиянява и изненадва. Не мога да разбера откъде идва на всичко отгоре и едно усещане за чистота, за чисто тяло, предполагам от мускуса....Трайност, съчетана с развитие, различно в зависимост от температурата, поне за мен, аромат, пълен с изненади, особено му се наслаждавам след няколко часа, трайността му е страхотна, устоява и на басейн, но няма да навлезе в чуждо пространство. Не е нахален. Прекрасен парфюм.

Mugler Miror Des Voluptes EDP 1.7oz You can always count on this house to produce something stunning. Voluptes arrives in a beautiful Mirrored box w/a top hinge inscribed Thierry Mugler upon the top. Luxe mirrored wood presentation box to store Voluptes. Mugler gets it. We want gorgeous presentation to go with a luxe fragrance. The silver cap and dagger on one side and golden arabic design on the other side of the 1.7oz bottle. Intriguing. A soft and silky rose oud fragrance supported by orange blossom,honey amber, cherry,tobacco leaf, patchouli, sandalwood and musk. Its refined, well blended and perfect. Sometimes this genre can get harsh,sharp and screechy..this is not. Pillowy softness of its contents and IMO a clean modern interpretation of the rose-oud theme. Nothing that screams synthetic or chemical soup as so many modern formulations are. A treasure and a steal at any price you find. I should have bought two. Love at first sniff, and a new gem in my collection.

Update: A few months ago, I found some bottles (5 to be precise) on...e-Bay? I can't remember. They do not come in the box, I bought them at almost half the price and believe you me, they are not faux versions. Legitimate to the Nth. As usual, I still smell the perfume on my shirts the following day, and even after they've been washed. Can't be happier! This sexy beast was originally created for the Middle East market. Luckily, Clarins (which owns and distributes Mugler's perfumes) made it available in The States (muglerusa.com). I was ( and still am) addicted to it. To my surprise, when I went online to reorder a week ago, I noticed it had been phased out. Luckily, I opened my last bottle a few weeks ago. Regrettably, I'll have to hold on to the empty bottle (once I use it all up) and mourn forever to what was one of the most devastatingly gorgeous perfumes of all times.

Got this one as a tester.. Opening is very intense,almost medicinal! Didn't like it, too vulgar for me even with my authentic arabic nose the opening was harsh really... But the dry down is actually good! Thats when the flowers kick in! Pure arabian taifi roses WoooW! Very Sensual! Now I'm starting to love it! To me it starts masculine and ends up feminine ;> You can say it can be a unisex, at least in the middleast! You see here in this part of the world usually there is not much difference between His & Hers perfumes! And the same perfume smells pretty different on different genders :> And ladies in my opinion, this fragrance is better worn lightly either on the neck, decolletage, wrists, arms & hands! Or maybe all together! Enjoy! ;>

I have to concur with others that oud, rose, tobacco, amber, tonka then patch, neroli appear in that order. The amber and tonka add some sweetness although this is not very sweet. They balance the tobacco. Oud really hits you on the opening although Im not a big oud fan this is quite manageable. It really is 1001 Arabian Nights in a bottle. TM hit the nail on the head with the mirror of sensual pleasures. Beautiful and intense. This is definitely a unisex fragrance but maybe leaning a touch to the feminine. Its so beautifully blended although Im a little disappointed that doesnt develop much apart from the oud and tobacco being the last notes to wain. Long longevity and moderate sillage. Another TM winner.

Spicy, spikey, sharp, sweet, woody, oudy, rosy and heavenly. This is typically strong with punchy notes and is definitely for people (men and women could wear this) who are confident enough to announce their presence before they enter a room. The initial blast is a complete spice bomb but the dry dowm - whist still loud - is much softer and sweeter. Delicious. Love love love it!

Много красив и неочаквано разкриващ се аромат, със страхотна трайност, която не е трайност на линеен аромат, а сякаш сменяте поне 2 парфюма. Може би се развива най-интересно от топлината на тялото или на климата, прекрасен в горещо време, като много от така наречените ориенталски. Това е бижу, пожелавам на всеки да намери моментите, в които може да го оцени.

It is so hard to write a review about something that good! It really leaves you speechless! All I can say is that this perfume is a gorgeous unisex perfume with a great sillage and longevity! If you love, like or even hate oud, try this perfume. It can change your perspective on it! Masterpiece!

Why on earth did I not ask Nordies for a sample of this when I went to a Mugler event the other day?! HUGE mistake on my part! From what I can remember, Miroir des Voluptes is pretty great stuff! I NEED to find it and test it again REAL soon! : )

First impression - LOVE it! Will take some time to test before reviewing. Thank you to all you fragranticans for your reviews, this purchase was based purely on them as I had not been able to find it to test..

This beautiful wonder has oriental floral and woody notes with elegant hints of amber, musk and patchouli. Oriental floral, woody and mildly powdery. An elegant perfume for an Arabian princess.

This is my dream fragrance...I have just purchased a backup bottle, so as never to be without it. My new signature is Piguets Oud Divin, this is it's Siamese twin in perfection.

The wonderful combination between the Europian and Arab perfumes including the rose and the oud notes together with musk and amber which attract any women to wear.

I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE BECAUSE IT REMIND ME ABOUT SOMEONE BEST PERFUME I EVER SMELLED. THANKS TO DAPHNE BUGEY FOR CREATING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANCE.

Nikki: those two are nothing alike. You could have both of them in your collection (as I do) and enjoy them for different occasions.

I have managed to find it!!!! Over the moon :) It's ordered, am now waiting in anticipaion...

One of the finest perfume by Daphne Bugey.
