In 1992, Thierry Mugler created Angel, the world's first gourmand perfume, along with its unforgettable bottle. It quickly became one of the top five best-selling women's fragrances in the world. Its smashing success marked the beginning of a legacy which now includes such fragrances as A*Men, created in 1997, and Alien, created in 2005, as well as the Thierry Mugler Beauty make-up line, inspired by the designer's art of metamorphosis, released in 2008.
