Fragrant Friday - Thierry Mugler Angel Precious Star

Celebrate 20 years of emotion and passion with Thierry Mugler Angel Precious Star - 25ml Refillable EDP - $96 - a sensual gourmand with top notes of bergamot and wild berries; heart notes of honey and vanilla; and base notes of chocolate, patchouli and caramel.

The shape of the bottle remains the same and has been highlighted by a shower of silver sequins. It also bears a medallion stamped with the Thierry Mugler 20-year anniversary logo and of course is refillable!

Angel is one of those scents that you either love or hate - personally I love it and appreciate that there isn't a floral note to be found in it! It's a scent that you recognize as soon as you smell it which is a hard thing to do these days when many fragrances are fronted by a pop-tart and seem to smell the same - so you have to appreciate something distinctive even if you don't necessarily want to wear it yourself!

Limited edition and available at The Bay, Holt Renfrew, Murale and Shoppers Drug Mart.

I was also able to check out the recent display at the Bloor Street Bay store of the Thierry Mugler gowns from the Angel advertisements and I was awed by the dress worn by Anna Maria Cseh in this 2003 ad - that was created exclusively for the campaign and weighed 110 lbs! Which explains why she is lying down in the picture, it was actually too heavy to stand up in - beauty really is pain!
