The fantasy ingredient
I wanted to find a lovely tea fragrance and upon reading ingredients and reviews decided to give this one a go, though I never liked Alien.
The opening was glorious, tea/citrus galore with a lovely floral back bone. I thought to myself "wow, this is going to work for me!" and decided after first, light application some two hours before (1 spray per wrist, from far), to indulge a bit more. I gave another spray per arm, happily sniffing away.
But. BUT. What happened next shocked me and made me sick. After some couple more hours, a sickly sweet note began to rise, very strong, overpowering everything else. It was so strong that made my stomach churn.
I could not believe this, and yet this note had nothing of the lovely, fresh and uplifting tea/citrus/flowery vibe of before. All those nice notes vanished, and that one roared like an angry tiger, its bite never letting go of me. Gosh, I hated it!
I made some investigation to understand what was going on because I was truly dumb struck. I discovered that almost all Mugler's perfumes contain cashmeran. This is a synthetic note, for in nature no bush, tree, wood or anything else produces it. It is created in lab, it's a fantasy ingredient - this is how it's called in the industry - a bit musky, spicy, powdery and it does not wash off well.
It is for this very reason used in fabric conditioners (!) due its property to "cling" to "expand" floral notes. Holy cow! That's exactly the sickly sweet note that made me feel queasy and would not wash off my wrists or arms.
I kid you not, after 6 days and few washes I can still smell it - though much fainter - there where I sprayed it.
The same shocking reaction I had with Wonder Bouquet of Mugler, a perfume which I adore.... when sprayed in the air. The first time I wore it on, it gave me the same violent, sickening reaction and I found out that most of Mugler's fragrances contain cashmeran, which is actually the infamous DNA many talk about: a syntethic note though!
Not very extraordinary, rather nauseating.
Alas, I would have loved this and possibly Alien too if it wasn't for this cashemran note, but I must be sensitive to it because it truly makes me sick and prevents me from ever wearing any Mugler scent which contains it. That makes it all of them or so.... thank God it is not contained in Angel, which I wore for over 20 years with no such issue!
Sadly, this is the biggest big no for me - to anything which "clings" to the skin with this power and aggressiveness. I did not like the experience and will never buy again any perfume containing cashmeran notes!!
