The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Mugler, Alien Flora Futura is a fragrance that bridges the gap between futuristic elegance and natural wonder. Dominique Ropion and Jean-Christophe Hérault crafted this composition to embody an imaginary divine flower blooming amidst desert solitude. The top note of Buddha's hand provides a fresh, sparkling revelation, leading into the heart where night-blooming cereus adds a distinctive floral depth. The base notes of white amber and sandalwood create a creamy, comforting warmth that lingers throughout the day.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced experience. The Buddha's hand note fades within an hour but leaves behind a lingering warmth from the white amber and sandalwood base. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its fresh and comforting notes can be fully appreciated.
