Cult Classic: Thierry Mugler ‘Angel’

I’ve never personally worn this scent continuously, but I’ve noticed many celebrities—and one of my best friends—always speak fondly of it. Thierry Mugler is known for unique and evocative fragrances; the potent strength of the juices is only ever eclipsed by the spectacular otherworldliness of the bottles in which they are held. And the cult classic that is Angel ($75), Thierry Mugler’s first perfume, is an indisputable touchstone to many people. To me, it smells strongly of chocolate and spice, a deeply robust and complex sweetness that has always overpowered me. But when I smell it on others, it is suddenly all magnetism and mystery. Tell me, fab readers, how do you feel about this Angel?
