Mugler’s Starlicious Berry Licorice: A Sweet Floral with a Twisted Base
Mugler has announced Starlicious Berry Licorice, a new women’s fragrance that mixes juicy berries and florals with liquorice. The house describes it as a floral fruity gourmand, due for release in 2026.
The perfume takes an unusual route: bright fruit at the top, freesia in the middle, and a smoky-sweet liquorice base. Fragrance fans are already weighing in.
The first impression comes from strawberry and raspberry. These two notes are fresh, lively and just sharp enough to prevent the scent from becoming cloying.
Freesia sits at the heart, bringing a clean, slightly airy floral presence. It softens the fruit without washing out the sweetness.
The real signature is the base note of liquorice. It introduces an aromatic, sweet, and faintly spicy edge, with a suggestion of anise. This gives the dry-down a distinctive herbal character.
The overall accords are fruity, sweet, soft spicy, floral and anise-like. It’s a clever construction on paper, and the balance between the strawberry-raspberry duo and the darker foundation is what makes it worth attention.
With 95 ratings, the fragrance currently averages 3.19 out of 5. The few written reviews suggest a gourmand that could be polarising, but the contrast is exactly what many Mugler fans look for.
This is for women who aren’t satisfied with plain fruity florals. It suits anyone who appreciates sweet fragrances with a dark twist, thinks liquorice works as a perfume note, and wants a bold, fairly distinctive scent for evening wear.
Starlicious Berry Licorice might not be an easy crowd-pleaser, but that’s part of its charm. Mugler has created a playful yet dark gourmand that should find its audience when it launches in 2026.

Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I really like it. It’s fun and cheerful. The first notes that wash over you are strawberry and red berries, with a strong liquorice component (the gummy sweet kind, not real liquorice). When it dries down, it leaves a very sweet, rich strawberry scent with a tangy hint of red gummy liquorice. For the price it usually has, both the longevity and the sillage seemed great to me. In my case, it stopped projecting after 4 hours but stayed on my skin for about 12 hours. Surprising performance for an EDT.
I was able to try all three perfumes from Mugler’s Starlicious collection, and the berry one was definitely the one I liked least. In fact, there came a point where I needed to wash my skin because I couldn’t stand how the scent was evolving. The fruity opening, with that pronounced raspberry, reminds me a lot of the smell of some dog perfumes, and as the minutes pass, a strange, almost animalic base appears, which on my skin even has a slightly faecal undertone. It’s a combination that didn’t work for me at all. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend it. And after trying all three Starlicious, I confirm something I’d been thinking for a while: Mugler is not a brand for me. None of its fragrances manage to connect with my tastes or make me feel represented.
L’Oréal, what have you done with Mugler? ✝️ Tasteless. The whole collection of 3 is a big disappointment.
