An olfactory drag queen

Posted by Robin on 19 March 2015 4 Comments

Inspired by Mugler’s childhood memories of fun fairs, Angel celebrates the duality and strength of women, pairing sweet notes of passion fruit, chocolate, caramel, vanilla and candyfloss with a stonking big and masculine patchouli note. The result is an olfactory drag queen that is Amazonian in its presence. Imagine RuPaul in a giant wig, glittery couture gown and 9 inch heels and you’re on the right track.

— Thomas Dunckley, aka The Candy Perfume Boy, from M is for Mugler - The Fragrance A-Z at Escentual, the winner of the Best Digital Article award at the 2015 UK Jasmine Awards.

        Congrats to Thomas! Great article and I heartily concur since many Mugler perfumes are comfortably ensconced at my house!

    Congrats Thomas! I’ve discovered that most of his Candy Perfume Boy’s reviews parallel my own tastes. It is very handy to have a blogger be an evil scent twin. You’ve reviewed me up to a few successful blind buys and scared me away from some others. You talked me over the edge with Alien Essence Absolue and I love it!
