Thierry Mugler, the mastermind behind fragrance greats Angel and Alien, has a new perfume innovation just in time for gift-giving season.

Mugler's Liqueurs de Parfum combine two luxury concepts into one -- haute perfumery and perfectly aged liqueur. Similar to the distillation process of fine cognac, the perfume was "aged" in specifically chosen wood barrels for eight weeks, which allowed for the notes to mature in a way not possible within traditional perfumery.

For Angel lovers (and there are a lot of them out there), this aging process brings a new dimension to their favorite scent. Angel Liqueur de Parfum was distilled in a cherry wood cask, which brought out a candied fruit and honey overtone, and also added richness to the woody patchouli base note.

Alien Liqueur de Parfum was aged in an oak cask, which added depth to the subtle almond note and gave a more sensual feel to the amber base.

The perfumes are limited edition, which makes them a perfect collector's item for the fragrance lovers in your life. Look for them them now at Saks Fifth Avenue and thierrymugler.com.
