Angel is a 1992 perfume from Thierry Mugler and the first modern gourmand perfume, with notes of patchouli, praline, red berries, and vanilla.[6] The perfumiers were Olivier Cresp and Yves de Chirin.[7] The design of its bottle is an irregular shaped star.[8] Angel, along with the company's companion scent Alien, accounts for $280 million in annual sales.[9] The perfume continued to be produced after Mugler's luxury monobrand women's line folded. As of 2011, the fragrance was the fifth best-selling perfume of all time in the United States, according to The NPD Group.[10] It once surpassed Chanel's No. 5 fragrance as the best-selling perfume in France, and remains one of the best-selling perfumes in Europe.[11]

Marketing

Previous faces of the Angel perfume line have included Jerry Hall, Naomi Watts, Eva Mendes, Toni Garrn, and Georgia May Jagger.[12] In 2023, American actress Hunter Schafer was announced as the new face of the Angel perfume line.[13]
