Thierry Mugler’s Angel is worth another look.
Perfume is a funny thing – we have such an intimate connection with it, and even just its name, scent or bottle can conjure up such specific memories. If the early 90s were to be defined by a single perfume, it will be undoubtedly be Thierry Mugler’s Angel – that star-shaped glass bottle, the name, that powerfully sweet scent. Named as the favourite of pre-eminent perfume expert Chandler Burr (he’s the only perfume reviewer to be employed by the New York Times), Angel evokes strong reactions for its complex and distinguishable scent. This is for a certain type of woman; the woman who wears Angel knows what she likes, she’s confident in her tastes and her decision.
But, as befitting the best of icons, there’s been a genesis of a new star in the Angel universe. The Mugler studio designers have cast their eye over the star-shaped bottle, turning it into a three-dimensional star with even more facets; and the Angel Gravity Star was born. “We wanted a star that would pay tribute to the celestial dimension of Angel,” says Virginie Delpeuc’h and Stephane Calvi, the artistic directors at Thierry Mugler, who worked on the new Angel Gravity bottle shape. “This star belongs in the sky; this is why it has not been designed with a specific ‘bottom’. It can be placed on any of its facets. This is why it defies the laws of gravity.”
To celebrate the birth of a new star in the Angel perfume legend, Thierry Mugler is offering one person the chance to make their mark in the universe by naming a star in the night sky, as well as a bottle of the new Angel Gravity Star Eau de Parfum and an Angel pampering pack. There are also five minor prize packs to be won, with the total prize pool worth over $2000.Enter the competition now.
It’s the chance to get to know an icon, all over again.
