He was then in full glory, recognized and adored for his couture creations both futuristic and monumental . He launches his first fragrance two years later: "Angel" is a small revolution in the world of perfumery of the time. With its sweet fragrances, its notes of praline and chocolate on a background of assorted patchouli, it inaugurates a new family of fragrances: gourmet perfumes. The bottle is also very noticeable: in the form of a star with five branches, it is made by the glassmakers of the famous house Brosse, according to an exclusive manufacturing technique. Another originality: this bottle is blue, which is a great novelty for the time for a feminine perfume. "Angel" met a huge commercial success as soon as it was released and remains, still today, among the best sales of perfumes in France. On the screen, he is played by many masters, including Estelle Lefébure on release, then Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger's companion, and more recently Naomi Watts or Eva Mendes.

Thierry Mugler, unforgettable perfumes


In 1996, four years after this enormous success, Thierry Mugler launched a second creation: "A * Men", a fragrance often analyzed as a male version of "Angel". But it is much more than that: there is certainly the gourmet spirit that made the success of its predecessor, with its notes of praline, chocolate and spices, but the fragrance is more subtle and spicy with notes peppermint and coffee. The bottle, however, is indeed a nod to "Angel" since it takes again the famous blue star with five branches. In 2001, "Cologne" completes the range of Thierry Mugler fragrances: a very fresh and mixed fragrance, with the traditional Cologne - bergamot, neroli, orange flower and small grain a background of white musk. In 2005, Thierry Mugler launches her second female perfume, "Alien". Another UFO in the world of perfumery! On a background of white amber grow the woody notes of the cashmeran, a wood with very typical perfume, sublimated by jasmine sambac of India in note of head. The bottle, too, intrigues by its complex form, of a beautiful violet affirmed, almost supernatural. Five years later, Thierry Mugler returns with "Womanity", an oriental woody fragrance in which there are aquatic and animal tones. A sweet-savory fragrance that contrasts with the gourmet and sweet side of "Angel".
