Angel Perfume was developed in 1992 and released in 1993 by designer Thierry Mugler. It’s hard to think of that year as being in the last century, but the speed at which fashion changes makes ‘92 seem like ancient history! Women’s scents were very different then, and there was no such thing as a blue perfume. Thierry Mugler was ahead of his time when he designed Angel.
Angel is a study in contrasts. The cool, icy blue of the perfume and its packaging contrasts with the warmth of the fragrance’s bases and top notes. At a time when floral aromas were most common, Angel came infused with the smells of chocolate, honey, and caramel. Hints of patchouli, sandalwood, and vanilla added still more seductive intimations. Add a few fresh notes of melons, peaches, plums and fresh citrus for a bit of clean wholesomeness. If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, then this one product that will surely capture a man’s attention. For Mugler, the earthy aromas captured in a crystalline star-shaped bottle defined the duality and irresistibility of Woman.
