mugler angel iced star

— for the launch of Mugler Angel Iced Star on April 05, 2021, Sacrebleu! decodes the new fragrance and takes the opportunity to reinterpret three of the fragrance house’s signature perfumes. 

APRIL 08, 2021 — version FRANçAISE ICI

When Thierry Mugler launched Angel in 1992, little did the “Prince des podiums”, know that he was going to create another addictive substance. Or perhaps he did. Over the last 29 years, everyone has seen the five-pointed blue star at least once, and it hasn’t finished shining yet: in the same vein as Angel Nova (2020), the house is back with a vengeance in 2021 with Angel Iced Star, a limited edition of the flagship fragrance.

Designed by the Mugler noses Olivier Cresp and Yves de Chirin, this new olfactory experience transports us to a parallel universe, between dreams and reality.  The icy blue and green shades of the crystal bottle, reminiscent of the polar ice caps, the head notes of coconut and pineapple reveal the fresh and tangy side of the perfume, whereas the middle notes (mainly red fruits and apricot), ensure a smooth and epicurean transition to the flamboyant nature of the fragrance (represented by the pink hue of the crystal) underpinned by the patchouli and chocolate base notes. Just this once, the brand plays around with its usual codes (patchouli is Angel’s olfactory signature) to create both a glamorous and tantalizing fragrance, brazenly exploring the unknown to create a spellbinding surprise.

So Angel Iced Star tells a story, that of an Eau de Toilette, created in a glacial environment that doesn’t lend itself easily to the sensual notes which unexpectedly come to the fore, making the fragrance irresistibly exotic and incandescent. We expected nothing less from Mugler, who has been using his extravagance to skillfully captivate his public for almost thirty years now.
