The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Innocent Secret, launched by Mugler in 2006 and crafted by perfumer Laurent Bruyère, is a fragrance that encapsulates the essence of youthful charm. The composition begins with bright citrus and fruity notes that create an initial burst of freshness before giving way to floral and musky accords that bring warmth and depth. This blend results in a scent that feels both innocent and sophisticated, capturing the duality of its name.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance lightly as it has a bright initial burst that fades quickly. The powdery and musky base notes will linger close to your skin for hours, making it perfect for daytime wear.
