The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019 by Mugler and crafted by perfumer Pierre Aulas, Oriental Extreme is a woody spicy fragrance that marries warmth with depth. The composition opens with green notes that introduce an unexpected freshness before giving way to warm spices, creating a dynamic tension between the crisp and the rich. At its heart lies vanilla, a sweet counterpoint that adds comfort without heaviness, while balsamic and powdery accords in the base offer a lingering warmth that feels both familiar and indulgent.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for optimal warmth. The green top notes are fleeting, so ensure you catch them early, but the base will remain close to your skin throughout the day, making it perfect for evening wear.
