Cute Alert: Thierry Mugler Angel Gets a Holiday Ring

Miriam Lacey — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 15:26:28 PST

This one's for all the rabid fans of Thierry Mugler Angel, the cotton-candy-caramel-vanilla juggernaut that launched the entire gourmand fragrance genre. This year, the brand decided to create a fancy little stocking stuffer, the Angel Solid Perfume Ring, which is silver plated and encrusted with diamantes. It's a little bigger and bolder than I might go, but I'd be surprised if it didn't sell out when it hits Saks Fifth Avenue shelves later this month. Would you be pleased to receive one of these, or would you rather just get a nice bottle of the stuff?

Do You Top Your Tree With an Angel?

CasaSugar — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 05:30:34 PST

At my house, I top my tree with fabric birds that I've crafted, but in the past an angel has graced it, too. I love this heirloom-look Santos Tree Topper ($70). Does an angel reign on your tree?

How Well Do You Know Your Famous Fragrance Notes?

BellaSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:00:17 PDT

Fragrance notes are a complex and surprising thing. If a fragrance isn't very linear, the accord you get can be totally different than the sum total of its parts, and perfumers are often given to lavish, overstated descriptions of their ingredients. (How does Indonesian vanilla smell different from Tahitian vanilla if they're the same plant species, exactly?) I've gathered up five super-popular perfumes you've almost certainly smelled (or owned) at some point. Can you guess the notes, or are they as elusive as a whiff of fragrance? Take my quiz and see what your favorite scents are really made of.

Angel the Fragrance Has a (Perfume) Posse

BellaSugar — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:00:06 PDT

Even if you don't think you know Thierry Mugler's famous fragrance, Angel, you would probably recognize it. Launched in 1992, the scent is a perennial best-seller in both France and the United States. It's a honey-vanilla-chocolate confection - after all, it did launch the gourmand genre - and it's definitely a classic.

But every classic needs an update now and then, and Angel's no exception. Naomi Watts, who's fabulous at forty, appears in a new ad campaign to promote a line of new Angel body products. "Bella, you crazy," you might be thinking. "Angel already has body lotions and what-not." Touché. But the new ones have been tweaked, and in a sense, completely redone to make the perfume longer lasting. Having sniffed how well the Perfuming Body Cream ($80) held up through multiple hand washings, I can tell you that the scents do last a long time without fading or mutating. Is it too punny to say that this is heaven for Angel fans?

Deck the Haus: Oil Drum Angel

CasaSugar — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 10:00:01 PST

Who would've thought that such an angelic figure could come from such a surprising source? When empty oil drums washed up on Haiti after World War II, local artisans reworked the "trash" into metal sculptures. And while this simple and sublime angel figure ($169) from VivaTerra wasn't in your tree topper roundup, I think it would've fit in nicely. This angel, which would also work on a mantel or tabletop as well as a tree, features a stipple textured robe and torso and large fluttery gold wings. Best of all, she's created and marketed exclusively under fair trade practices.

Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio Go Calendar Girl For VMAN

Allie Merriam — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:53:29 PST

Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio were among the models selected by guest editor Carine Roitfeld for a spread in VMAN. Their new issue hits newsstands next Tuesday, Feb. 14. The girls, along with ten other models, including Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes, and Chanel Iman, did a pinup shoot made to look like the 12 pages of a calendar. It was a reunion of sorts for some of the ladies, like Adriana, Alessandra, and Miranda, who are all Victoria's Secret Angels. Miranda is currently Down Under with her family, while Alessandra is taking a hiatus from her Angel duties while pregnant. Adriana, though, stepped out earlier this week for a VS Valentine's Day event and told us about what she and husband Marko Jaric have planned for the big day.

Click through to see Miranda, Adriana, and more models, like Lily Donaldson, Joan Smalls, and Izabel Goulart.
