Angel Elixir by Thierry Mugler first captivates through its universe. As always, it draws on the sky and the stars, elements that have fascinated the designer since early childhood. Indeed, Thierry Mugler naturally made the star his emblem and blue his signature color. It is therefore only logical to find these elements again in Angel Elixir.

Angel Elixir by Thierry Mugler, a captivating feminine fragrance of contrasts
From a purely olfactory standpoint, Angel Elixir by Thierry Mugler is as intriguing as it is bewitching. Indeed, it displays significant contrasts. At first, it captures attention with pink pepper CO2 extract. This spice is treated in an ultramodern way, giving this fragrance a luminous, almost metallic quality. Then, Angel Elixir by Thierry Mugler softens at its heart thanks to a bouquet of white flowers. It intertwines jasmine, orange blossom and ylang-ylang, resulting in a spicy, sweet breath. Finally, at its base, it relies on an unexpected ingredient: Amber Xtreme, a highly avant-garde ambery and woody raw material, ideal for strengthening its powerful sillage.
Thierry Mugler opts for an even more bewitching bottle
Angel Elixir by Thierry Mugler stays true to tradition and comes in a star-shaped bottle. However, it is no longer laid flat as in its original version. A genuine technical feat, it now stands proudly upright. Furthermore, the color of its glass has been intensified. The star of Angel Elixir by Thierry Mugler sparkles with a new celestial blue that instantly catches the eye and immerses us in a dreamlike atmosphere.
Hunter Schafer, a symbol of renewal within the Angel collection
To complete the picture, Thierry Mugler has also introduced an entirely new face of the campaign. As if marking a turning point within the great Angel saga, the house enlisted actress, model and producer Hunter Schafer. As a reminder, she was propelled into the spotlight thanks to the hit series Euphoria. All the elements are therefore in place to make Angel Elixir by Thierry Mugler a new legend... A star among stars!
