In 2014, Mugler launched Les Exceptions which are based on the fragrance  families of traditional perfumery (our perfume reviews of Over the Musk, Oriental Express, Chyprissime, Fougere Furieuse and Supra Floral here.  Olivier POLGE  (now with CHANEL) and Jean-Christophe HÉRAULT are the perfumers.   For 2015,  the House launched  CUIR IMPERTINENT recalling Russian leathers and Siberian cavalcades – the leather note is now reproduced using beech wood.

 “I adore leather notes and the sensuality they add to a lingering fragrance. For a new take on this powerful theme, I thought it would be interesting to combine leather with a star anise note. This unusual accord created a harmony of contrasts. The aromatic and licorice-like freshness of the spice is the primary enhancer of certain facets of the leather. Star anise acts like a fresh, green flavoring agent that adds nuance to the dark, carnal depth of leather.” -Jean-Christophe HÉRAULT
