Thierry Mugler Parfums has unveiled a new version of its flagship Angel feminine fragrance. The Comet edt comes almost 20 years after the original Angel was launched, in its signature star-shaped flacon.

Out of this world: Thierry Mugler’s new Angel Comet edt, fronted by actress Eva Mendes |
The updated juice draws on the oriental-gourmand foundation of its predecessor. Composed by Robertet’s Amandine Marie, it is now described as “oriental-gourmand-powdery”.
The reworked composition opens on notes of bergamot, red berries and a hint of pepper. The sweet heart features praline and berries; the base blends patchouli, vanilla, cedar and white musk.
As its name suggests, the fragrance flacon has been redesigned to evoke a comet. The bottle is round on the front and faceted on the back. A sculpted silver star adorns the top, and a small shiny star is perched at the tip.
In line with Angel’s refillable philosophy, the Comet bottle is also refillable. It is available as a 40ml and 80ml edt spray.
The Comet edition is fronted by actress Eva Mendes, who was confirmed as the new face of Angel earlier this year. She features in a new campaign conceived by Thierry Mugler and orchestrated by the brand’s Artistic Director Christophe de Lataillade. Brit Baillie Walsh directed the film; the print campaign was the work of fashion photographers Inez van Lansweerde & Vinoodh Matadin.
