Angel: futuristic haute couture for the very first gourmand fragrance Angel, or the signature of a truly legendary first Thierry Mugler perfume!
Angel is among those perfumes that need no introduction… The first juice in the history of the gourmand family, Angel made history in 1992. This bold yet gourmand star is the work of Thierry Mugler, who can take pride in having left his mark on the history of perfumery. It should also be noted that it is thanks to Olivier Polge that this perfume came into being. Indeed, many perfumers had turned down Thierry Mugler's idea. Only Olivier Polge took up the challenge… A winning bet!
The audacity of Olivier Polge
Ultra creative and fond of challenges, Olivier Polge accepted Thierry Mugler's project: to innovate by creating a gourmand perfume. Visionary and ahead of his time, Thierry Mugler wanted to create a perfume that could resonate with everyone, something close to tenderness and childhood. Creating this perfume required more than 600 trials, but Angel is today one of the best-selling perfumes. Olivier Polge is the son of the talented Jacques Polge, who was the nose of Chanel. It was in fact Olivier Polge who succeeded his father in 2012 and who is now the house's official nose at Chanel. A real challenge for this exceptional creator. Clearly, talent runs in the family, from father to son. We owe Olivier Polge such wonderful fragrances as Armani code Femme by Armani, Dior Homme by Dior, and La Vie est Belle by Lancôme.
Gourmand indulgence in its purest form
Between caramel, chocolate, passion fruit and praline, it could be said that Angel was a true revolution in the world of perfumery, since no other perfume had dared to include such ingredients. Angel opens with the fresh, tangy notes of mandarin and bergamot, giving an ultra-invigorating lift. The heart is both gourmand and addictive, caught between sugar and restraint. It combines an accord of praline, chocolate and caramel, joined by passion fruit, peach and apricot… Deliciously irresistible! The base leaves a sensual sillage thanks to the presence of vanilla and patchouli. To dazzle us a little further, Thierry Mugler chose a star-shaped bottle with a dazzling play of light.
Angel is the forerunner of the gourmand family, and no one before Thierry Mugler and Olivier Polge had ever dared to use sugary ingredients within a perfume. Thoroughly gourmand, Angel remains among the best-selling perfumes in the world.
