Angel The New Star is a new star born in the Angel galaxy. Created by Mugler Studio, this exquisite bottle defies the laws of gravity. This timeless classic is reinventing itself with a new design. As the Mugler legend goes, this star was created light years away, beyond time and space, a glass meteorite streamed across the universe. After an explosion of light, a blue-tinged sphere sped madly across the skies. Glass edges formed and assembled themselves. Then time stopped and there was a pause. At last the lines took shape and the star was born. The cap resembling platinum armor protects the star. The sparkling body shines like cut crystal. It appears cold at first sight, but hidden inside there is an irresistibly attractive and voluptuous treasure.
 
This bottle is not just a bottle design but a work of art with a story. As the creators of Angel The New Star explain, the bottle does not have a bottom "because this star belongs in the sky."  Within the company, its nickname was "gravity." It can be placed on any of its facets, which is why it defies the laws of gravity. Just like in his namesake fashion brand, Thierry Mugler was famously known for designing flattering clothing for all body types. Just like his designs, the different facets of the star symbolize the facets of the female persona. 
 
Once again partnering up with one of the oldest and most respected glassmaking institutions, Brosse Master Glassmakers, Thierry Mugler fragrances created this new complex design. The team faced many challenges. The glass had to appear flawless, smooth and symmetrical. All the constraints made this bottle manufacturing rigorously challenging, almost an impossible project. 
 
Inside the bottle is another secret that makes this fragrance so very special and unique. The blue-tinted dream is the Angel signature which evokes a cosmic mystery. The beauty of the jewel-like bottle and the unique blue fragrance has another twist. Every scent, with its distinct star can be refilled. This eco-responsible approach gives new value to the bottle, giving it new life every time it is refilled. 
 
If you don't wear Angel yourself, chances are you have a girlfriend that does. The lingering scent has a distinct personality. First launched in the early 90's, this bold perfume pushed the limits of immoderation. Angel is a dreamlike message based on strong creative choices. It almost captures the essence of a woman in a bottle. It is no surprise that a Thierry Mugler Angel bottle is refilled every seven seconds worldwide!
