Representatives of the beautiful half originally owed their amazing beauty, of course, to nature. Natural and natural attractiveness, inherent in them from birth, femininity and grace, laid down by nature - all this is the result of the natural transformation of girls in the period of becoming women. Representatives of the modern beauty industry invest a significant share in this beauty. Visits to cosmetologists, make-up artists, stylists, hairdressers, eyebrows, manicurists, hair and eyelash extension masters, laser or sugar depilation specialists - all these events complement the natural beauty and emphasize the virtues of women with various decorative elements.
But not only the visual effect plays a special role in the attractiveness of a woman. Here you should pay attention to such a detail as the smell. How a woman smells depends on how she feels and how others perceive her. Properly selected expensive and high-quality fragrance, which comes from a young pretty woman or a stately, respectable lady, is able to immediately defeat any man and even make her rival in the person of another woman admire her. This is exactly the aroma of Thierry Mugler's Angel (perfume “Thierry Mugler Angel”). In reviews, users often touch on the topic of describing a “delicious” bouquet, original packaging, ambiguous price category and many other aspects of brand toilet water assessment.
About the creator
Thierry Mugler has always been known as a creative revolutionary in the fashion world, and when he released his first Angel fragrance 27 years ago, it was a completely shocking concept in many ways. From a strange fragrance to crazy advertising campaigns (and the fashion that inspired them), the fashion designer conquered the public with his extravagant creations.
To understand why the spirits of Mugler "Angel" in the reviews of users of that time found such a wide resonance, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the features of the creative work of the French fashion designer. Being a native of Strasbourg, a young and promising Thierry came to Paris in the late 60s of the last century. His career instantly shot up: after five years working in a network of Gudule boutiques as a sketch artist and while developing collections for fashion houses in Milan, Barcelona, ​​London and Paris, he managed to organize his own show of his personal first collection in 1973. Against the background of the straight silhouettes that were usual at that time, minimalism and echoes of futurism of the 60s, his models could not but attract public attention by the revelation of designs, deliberate sexuality, undisguised fetishism and aesthetics of dominatrix. High boots with heels, all kinds of corsets, work with vinyl, leather, jersey and lycra - all this was like a time bomb for the audience of that time. However, with all this extravagance, Thierry Mugler's models were distinguished by femininity and a pronounced silhouette.
Since then, he continued to excite Parisian society with his extraordinary show programs at shows at regular intervals. But at the same time, his main goal was not shocking. The most interesting thing for the fashion designer was to master and develop new trends and formulas in the vast style and beauty of that time. That is why whole theatrical productions and global spectacular shows were a peculiar way of expressing him. Through such grotesque performances, his extraordinary ideas were realized. Therefore, when the first release of Mugler's Eau de Parfum was made, Angela, reviews of the spirits spread among the elite of that time at lightning speed. And then the whole world learned about amazing perfumes.
History of occurrence
Like any creative person, while working on new projects, the French fashion designer had his own mood swings. Having once fallen into a deep depression, he even had to turn to a psychologist. Well, how else? Talent could not be buried, it was necessary to find a way to awaken him from sleep. Then the doctor Thierry invited him to lie on the sofa and relax. He asked the fashion guru what he wanted at that moment most of all, to which Mugler, after some deliberation, replied: “Most of all, I would now like to smell my mom’s vanilla cookies.” Then he still did not imagine that after a certain amount of time this smell would excite the public from under the lid of an unusual at that time designer bottle under the brand name of Angel Mugler's toilet water label. Reviews will be radically contradictory, from sharply disapproving to incredibly admired. But be that as it may, the release of this fragrance will be a significant event in the history of the formation of the world perfume industry.
Perfumers Oliver Cresp and Yves de Chirin piled over the development of the aroma. As agreed in a press release, in order to please Mugler and accurately reflect the smell that he so wanted to introduce into the aesthetics of the world perfume space, Cresp had to make more than four hundred and sixty attempts. You can only imagine the degree of concentration and laboriousness of esthetics laborers, checking the proportions of components, detailing the compatibility of one ingredient with another, evaluating the result of such a combination.
Oliver himself recalls that the climax in the work on the product was the conversation held between him and Mugler. Then the fashion designer again mentioned the sweets that he liked so much in childhood. The unsurpassed smell of bread with chocolate paste, as well as the aroma of pralines and cocoa, were felt in the air from the mere memories of them. And then Kresp understood what Mugler wanted. At that stage, existing versions of perfumes did not focus on the gourmet direction at all. Unless in some well-known patented bottles sounded fruit notes. But in order to reflect hints on the aspects of cooking, then this was not yet relevant. Thierry set the task for perfumers: to compose a bouquet, which has no analogues, from those components that have not been used before. Moreover, the end result should simply be breathtaking, like a child standing in a candy store. In this way, Mugler wanted to convey that childish spontaneity and angelic nature of any woman who loves sweets and appreciates the fragrant notes of the confectionery. Hence the desire to include notes of chocolate, praline and patchouli in the composition of the water. Conflicting perfume chords became the hallmark of Mugler as the founder of the toilet water line.
Thierry Mugler Angel is the first debut fragrance from the most successful and popular series of perfumes of the Thierry Mugler Fashion House. Having appeared for the first time in 1992, a chic fragrance continues to conquer the public to this day. Having won hundreds of thousands of female fans, Mugler's Angel is still relevant. In 2007, he was awarded the FiFi Awards in the Hall of Fame nomination (“Hall of Fame”). What can I say, Mugler released a brand that has established itself as one of the creations of exclusively exclusive products, available at that time only to a wealthy layer of the population. The presentation of this fragrance was a kind of “release from the bottle of gin” - its appearance in the world became so enchanting.
Perfume Description
In their reviews of the perfume “Angel Thierry Mugler”, many initially negatively spoke about the idea of ​​a fashion designer to create something catchy, non-standard, original, which does not fit into the framework of the accepted. But had Mugler ever been a modest man? All his shows, all his show programs, all his works spoke for themselves: this is the person who does not follow someone else’s lead, and even more so is not guided by prevailing stereotypes. To go against the inveterate and well-established preferences, to surprise with shocking innovations, to show your own “I” by any means - that’s what the fashion guru wanted. And the fact that he did it with his first eau de toilette cannot be denied. Despite all these initially negative reviews of Thierry Mugler's Angel perfume, perfume actually made a splash with its sudden bold appearance. How arrogantly they criticized him alone, others passionately admired him.
After presentation, the description of Mugler’s fragrance “Angel” became interesting for many. The composition is designed in such a way that knowledgeable people can immediately recognize in it a pronounced line of gourmet orientation. Represented by melon, tangerine, coconut, Chinese cassia, bergamot, jasmine and cotton candy, the top notes are felt when you inhale the sweet aroma for the first time. Heart notes reflect the saturation of the smell with honey motifs, apricot, plum, blackberry, orchid, jasmine, peach, lily of the valley, rose from Nepal and red berries. As for the base notes, Thierry includes tonka, musk, ambergris, patchouli, vanilla, caramel and dark chocolate beans.
It should be noted that this amazing nugget - the brainchild of the French fashion designer - is the first product of this kind in the history of fragrant compositions that does not include floral echoes in its composition. In their reviews of Thierry Mugler Angel eau de toilette, many repeatedly mention the fact that there are too many different components that, it would seem, might not always be compatible with each other. But at the same time, none of them is superfluous in the overall gourmet bouquet. This is precisely what its inconsistency lies in, and this is precisely what it has been taking the public for twenty-seven years, forcing the fair half to buy it again and again, from year to year.
They speak of these spirits as a symbol of universal femininity and tenderness, sophistication and sophistication of female nature. Trying it on themselves, women discover the amazing sensual power of the aroma, and the captivating and mysterious beauty of the loop allows each woman to experience this unsurpassed stellar aura, enveloping in her unique cosiness and warmth. It is not surprising that the "Angel" conquers literally all the representatives of the stronger sex from the inner circle of the owner of a chic aroma - he gives her sexuality, burning passion, some kind of magical appeal. All this cannot but attract men, therefore their opinion on the line of female perfumes of "Mugler" can be predicted.
Confrontation
Reviews about Mugler’s perfume “Angel” were, are and will probably be mixed. It can not be argued that the fragrance conquered absolutely everyone with its extraordinary. But the fact that Thierry brought to the perfumery concept a fundamentally new method in creating an oriental gourmet masterpiece cannot be denied. The main opposition of user opinions is based on the disagreement of some of them with fans of eccentric combinations of different tint notes in one bottle. Representatives of a conservative warehouse often give preference to well-established bouquets of floral arrangements, suggesting that a light everyday delicate feminine image a priori cannot be complemented by aroma without the content of floral notes. Even more assertively, many criticize the perfume’s inconsistency with its name, arguing that the fragrance was not “angelic” at all. It is too heavy and concentrated for a similar name. But this is only part of the reviews about the perfume “Angel” by Mugler.
The other half, and most likely still predominant, endlessly admires the amazing results of the experiment of the French fashion designer. Indeed, herbal and floral echoes familiar to everyone in perfume bottles have already outlived themselves as a fundamental component in the original feminine perfumed bouquet. Being the pioneer of the latest formulas for creating perfumes, where the prevailing role is not a vegetable concentrate, but a spicy accent, the aroma of Angel Mugler (and fan reviews confirm this) captivated everyone with a combination of unusual components in the overall composition of the chocolate-vanilla plume with the patchouli effect. What is not good at skillfully combining a bunch of amazing “tasty” notes? After all, it is so unusual, so extraordinary, it is like a breath of fresh air, like something completely different from the already bored versions over the years.
As for the perfume’s inconsistency with its name, many add the Fallen prefix to the original angel. It is also called "Angel with heavy wings." Moreover, some women, being still very young girls at the time of toilet water publication, initially noted their then antipathy to Mugler’s brand water. However, as they claim, there was something in her that made her remember herself. And now, after one or two decades, these young ladies, who have now become stately women, are happy to buy a new bottle every time the previous one ends, because now, as they say, it’s simply impossible to stop loving this perfume. So, the taste characteristics of this toilet water are able to reveal their beauty in the eyes of women with age. This is just amazing. Not every perfume is able to hypnotize.
The leaders of one of the foreign publications of Flavors & Fragrances organized an independent survey, which collected reviews of women about Mugler’s eau de toilette Angel. Representatives of the beautiful half were asked to evaluate the perfume for a number of characteristics. Evaluation criteria were used, such as the first impression, the presence of a train, the level of resistance, seasonality and age orientation. Gathering the results of the study, the organizers concluded that the fragrance lasts on average from 6 to 8 hours, has an average intensity, is worn in the offseason and is acquired by all age categories, from young women to older women.
Original performance
However, not only the fragrance "Angel" itself delights adherents of magical perfumes of the past and contemporaries to this day. The amazing format in which water appeared before the public also deserves special attention.
Probably, you need to give a little background to make it clear what role Vera Shtruby played in this process. After Oliver Cresp and Yves de Chirin developed the coveted formula for Thierry Mugler, the French fashion designer and now the founder of the gourmet style in perfumery turned to the cosmetic corporation Group Clarins. He brought with him a rectangular bottle containing perfumes of his own design, and said: “You do not need to do anything with this. Here - perfume, packaging, the name will be my name. ” The same Vera Shtrubi - the acting director of Group Clarins at that time - was frankly horrified by the banality and freshness of the idea voiced by such a shocking fashion designer. The failed concept was brought by her not only to a decent level, she was able to create from a simple bottle with perfume just a masterpiece. Not for nothing that later she was called the mother of "Angel".
It must be said that the form in which the “Angel” appeared before the public is another historical moment in the formation of the perfume industry. Why historical? Because before that, not a single brand and not a single brand of perfumes have released their products in such an original and unusual packaging. The legendary blue star was developed specifically for the Brosse Master Glassmakers. In the world of haute couture, it was just a bomb! Drawing attention to Mugler’s fetish - a star - Strube proposed her concept of creating a bottle in the form of a star. Indeed, Thierry went crazy with this symbol: a tattoo in the form of a star on his shoulder, stars engraved on buttons, flattering symbols of heavenly beauty on a tie, and even rings with the image of stars - all this spoke of his special predilection for the interpretation of the meaning of this symbol. Therefore, it is not surprising that his very first work as a producer of perfumes began to be produced in this form.
How did the name originate
The design itself was developed a year and a half. Of course, having at that time not yet so advanced technologies that are available to the public now, it was difficult to perform such difficult work. Each bottle was ground by hand. This led to a rather high cost of packaging for Angela, but each owner of an amazing perfume actually received a hand-made designer item. A bottle of such a plan simply needed to be awarded with a heavenly name. The attention of the developers fell on the then-popular word angel. So the name of the creation of Mugler was born.
Perfume color
The loudness and uncompromising nature of the Angel stands out from the landscape of perfumery aesthetics even today, a quarter of a century after the official press release. This is worthy of true respect, since today there are already quite a few different variations of perfumery water, which is also made up of conflicting notes and also does not include the usual floral fragrant shades. Artistic qualities in the form of a balanced confectionery sweetness and sorrow of patchouli, causing such strong feelings, were also emphasized by the non-standard color of the spirits of Mugler. It was decided to paint perfumes, which in the world of the perfumery industry it was customary to present exclusively in a yellowish, so to speak, natural shade, in a completely non-standard color at that time. The star of "Angela" Thierry appeared before buyers in a transparent sky blue shade, which in combination with a star-shaped bottle simply fascinated with its stunning beauty and extraordinary. The developers of the notorious “Angel” thought through everything to the smallest detail, even critics expressed their admiration for the creative approach to the color and vestment of toilet water of the French fashion designer.
Price policy
As mentioned earlier, such a painstaking approach to the development of the correct formula, such a careful selection of colors for the presentation of perfumes for all to see, and such difficult work in preparing a bottle in the form of a glass star - all this naturally led to a rather high price for perfumes. Based on the fact that eau de toilette belongs to the elite class, there is no need to say that the price should be appropriate - this goes without saying. Therefore, varying within a hundred dollars, the price per bottle makes this product available not for every user.
Thierry Mugler Angel Muse
Reviews about the chic perfume of the French fashion designer have changed over time, the aging of women and the change in their preferences. But Thierry did not stand still in his perfume endeavors. Twenty-five more Angel flankers were released - as many as twenty-five different versions of the same eau de toilette with different notes that distinguish them from each other, but still containing them in the same group of gourmet perfumes. Passion Star, Eau Sucree, Étoile des Rêves Eau de Nuit, Garden Of Stars, Liqueur de Parfum, Les Parfums de Cuir and many other versions reflected different moods in the soul of the perfumer fashion designer and presented each time in a new guise, in a new bottle design and with new fragrant shades in the composition. One of the most recent flankers was the perfume “Muse of the Angel Mugler”. In reviews of the “Mousse” flanker, as it is customary to sometimes say in our Russian language, many admire the amazing aroma, actually perfected, and simply the incredibly beautiful perfume bottle of the French fashion designer-perfumer. Once born in the 90s of the last century, “Angel”, which broke sales records at one time and even surpassed even the notorious “Chanel No. 5”, today it appears before the dear women in the original version. What is Thierry Mugler's “Muse of the Angel”?
Reviews about the perfume “Angel Muse” (another philistine transcription of Russian consumers of the version of Angel Muse) are mostly positive. The creator of the twenty-fifth flanker was perfumer Quentin Bish. Like all Thierry perfumes, the components of the fragrance are quite controversial. That is why there is no middle ground in evaluating this perfume: it either falls in love with unconsciousness or is not transferred to the spirit. Actually, like all the bright, shocking, extravagant things and objects sold by high fashion.
The bottle in which the fragrance is presented deserves separate praise. Reminiscent of something like a comet, Mugler's “Angel” in reviews of male critics and female users was praised for its original streamlined shape, iconic star engraving and horizontal staging placed on the dressing table of any representative of the fair half. Ergonomics, convenience and practicality, miniature size and the ability to carry it even in a small handbag or clutch, as well as an amazing style and design solution in the design of the bottle - all this served the twenty-fifth flanker of Angela as a good advertisement. David Coma, creative director of the Mugler Fashion House, was responsible for developing such a streamlined stylish design.
Unlike the standard “Angel”, the shade of the Muse perfume is amber-yellow, as it is inherent in the natural shade of perfume. As for the composition itself, it includes grapefruit notes and echoes of pink pepper in the upper phase, a hint of nut cream in the middle notes, as well as vetiver and patchouli in the base notes. Quentin Bisch worked on the direct development of the Muse perfume formula. As he himself said in his reviews, “The Muse of Angel Mugler” is another game of contrasts that Thierry loves so much. Here sweets and salinity, smoky and bitter, spicy and sweet, combine and confront at the same time. In addition to contrast, in the general composition of perfumes there is also harmony, which gives the composition as a whole such an amazing overall impression of it. Definitely, such a fragrance cannot be attributed to any other category, except for the East Gourmet. The charm and femininity that the Muse gives girls conquers with their charm and omnipotence.
Reviews
The Muse of "Angel" Mugler has found wide distribution among modern girls. Moreover, almost everyone claims that initially the smell seems too harsh. The initial impression is associated with something incredibly sweet - and this very sweetness is notes of chocolate. As soon as the first phase passes, hot pepper begins to be felt. Together with notes of grapefruit, it completely eliminates the previous sweetness and envelops with an amazing rich aroma of Sicilian citrus. Many girls in their reviews claim that the persistent aroma stubbornly does not give a blubber - is it so obvious, tangible, noticeable, or something. As an energetic impulse, it induces action, setting the right mood for the whole day.
However, the Angel Muse is spoken of as a perfume that cannot be overdone with. Due to the abundance of sharpness, perfumed water does not require repeated application during the day, since the residual notes of aroma have long been felt by an expressive plume. It smells of sweets, caramel, sweet nuts. But this is not cheap caramel, it is actually a work of gourmet art. No wonder that eau de toilette belongs to the elite class. Of course, the overall composition is first decorated with a barely perceptible, and then much more tangible bitterness of pink pepper.
Users in the person of girls still do not recommend using aroma in the summer, saying that, most likely, the smell harsh for hot, hot weather will be excessively suffocating at this time of the year. But the autumn-spring period, or even winter, is what you need.
Some secular lionesses claim in their reviews: Mugler’s eau de toilette “Angel Muse” is the version of perfume that is elegantly suitable for an evening celebration. Created as if for the most powerful women of this planet, it even gives a little masculine notes, so a similar version of the star Mugler is ideal for the businesswoman and sharks of the business industry. Moreover, the fragrance is not without femininity. On the contrary, he seems to emphasize the strongest sides of a woman, giving her confidence in herself and her actions.
The position of current mothers is also interesting. They claim that the sweet-caramelly fragrant train is an amazing memorable perfume composition that reminds of sweets, chocolate, pastille, spices, cotton candy. She really wants to eat it! So much she evokes mouth-watering associations. Perhaps this is exactly what mom should smell like - goodies and sweets. Many women emphasize that the children get used to this particular smell of mother and subsequently the aroma they associate with maternal warmth. Amazing right? I wonder if Thierry Mugler laid such a meaning in his next star when developing a perfume formula?
