Thierry Mugler Angel Spawns Copy Cats

Bruno and Model Alessandro Ambrosio in Thierry Mugler

While many fashion designers and perfume creators do a lot of navel gazing these days, Thierry Mugler has always been a fan of star gazing. In tough times, many in the fashion industry tighten their sequined belts to simply recycle popular creations, banking of previous moments of fashionable brilliance to ensure their future success. On the other end of the spectrum, Thierry Mugler, the designer with a penchant for daydreaming about solar systems and galaxies, constantly challenges current norms and seeks to make beauty from something out of the ordinary.

Thierry Mugler currently dominates in both perfumes and fashion. As Lady Gaga outwardly displays her love of Thierry Mugler designs, Beyonce recently delcared that her newest fashion line Sasha Fierce will be based on the fiercely feminine style of Thierry Mugler. Though it seems every stylish diva is currently paying hommage to the inventive Thierry Mugler, it wasn’t always so. His fashion forward designs, featuring hip-emphasizing, body-hugging forms, shocked the public back in the 1990s. Because the fashion world couldn’t comprehend the mind-blowing fusion of mod, glamour, futurism, and classic body-conscious forms of a bygone era, Thierry Mugler’s fashion line temporarily faltered. But as his fashion suffered a minor shortfall, his perfumes did not. Thierry Mugler’s Angel perfume, a drippingly sweet and shockingly smoky delight, was instantly scooped up as a hit from day one of sales.

If you’re already a fan of Thierry Mugler Angel, you know exactly what the rage is all about. If you’ve yet to experience this fragrance-forward perfume, you’re in for a treat. As most beauty brands currently model their newest perfumes on previous top-selling fragrances and as they hyper-saturate the fragrance market with one perfume drone after another, the beauty counters start to smell like a blur. Enter a department store to smell the latest 30 fragrances to only realize that you could have just smelled one for the same the effect. Many perfume houses hope to reach top sales dollars with ambiguously spicy florals, peppery bursts of fruits and a suggestion of vague basenotes. And there you have the backstory to most perfumes today. Though we could spend hours deciphering the differences and perks of each perfume drone, my point is that Thierry Mugler Angel clearly stands head and shoulders… or should I say stopper and bottle… above all other perfumes.

For 15 years running, Thierry Mugler Angel has consistently stood in the limelight of popularity. Thierry Mugler Angel is a the delightfully surprising gourmand. It features a mix of patchouli and a few edible traces of a caramelized praline and the bitter brightness of red berries. While other perfumes aim for the ever popular trio of florals, fruits and pink peppercorn. Angel remains dark and departs from florals all together.  The fragrant results are curiously feminine and enchanting. Apparently, as a result, Thierry Mugler Angel has inspired the wave of gourmand, dark perfumes. Ever check out a perfume that smells something like candy, cake, chocolate, or caramel? That’s a piece of Thierry Mugler inspiration right there.
