This year marks the 30th anniversary of Angel, which was the start of Thierry Mugler’s successful foray creating fine fragrance. With its launch in 1992, Angel expanded the horizons of fragrance in multiple ways. Its composition, an unexpected blend of sweet and earthy notes, showed the way for a new “gourmand” genre in perfumery. Visually, its star-shaped glass bottle and ethereal pale blue color were both in keeping with Mugler’s established design vocabulary yet were atypical at the fragrance counters of that era. Mugler himself also photographed Angel’s early ad campaigns, posing some of his favorite “muses” against otherworldly backgrounds, like Jerry Hall shown here in the White Sands of New Mexico. Mugler said about perfume, “It’s really a language, and it speaks to people or it doesn’t.” So, what do you say? Does Angel speak to you? 🎥 “Beware of Angels,” 1993. Thierry Mugler, director.
