To honor the 15th anniversary of his iconic Angel fragrance, Thierry Mugler has launched Angel La Part des Anges:
Aged in the same way as a fine cognac in cherrywood barrels, the Angel La Part des Anges Extrait de Parfum adds a new starry dimension to the heavenly fragrance of Angel. Overseen by a true French cellar master, an expert in the aging of cognac, a celestial 12-week aging process has produced a one-of-a-kind perfume extract. Angel’s delicious scent is enriched and captured through a harmonious evaporation process. The exquisite fragrance is contained in a sparkling precious star, dressed with Swarovski crystals in celebration of Angel’s 15th anniversary. A certificate of authenticity is provided, and each bottle is engraved with its individual number.
Prior to the aging process, the parfum was reworked by perfumer Francoise Caron; the aging process (according to both press accounts linked below, comprising 23 weeks and not 12) was overseen by Pierrette Triche of Rémy Martin. The result is a concentrated, rounder version of Angel, with accents of candied fruits and amber.
Thierry Mugler Angel La Part des Anges is a limited edition (4742 bottles were produced). It is available now at Nordstrom, and is $220 for 10 ml parfum extrait. (quote via nordstrom, additional information via levif.be, cosmetiquemag.fr)
Update: you can see some brief comments on Angel La Part des Anges here.
Wickle has introduced a new fragrance (and their first all-natural scent), Fig & Mace. It is described as “a sweet, fruity scent with a hint of spice and a sensual woody basenote”.
The notes include sandalwood, roman chamomile, davana, nutmeg, patchouli, cinnamon, clove, cedar and orange.
Wickle Fig & Mace is £25 for 50 ml, concentration unknown. (via ticklemywickle)

I want that bottle!!
I'm going to assume you mean the Angel & not the Wickle — and yes, nicely done, esp. for the price. Could have been way more outrageously priced!
very true – I was actually stunned at the price. Although for such a substantial bottle, perhaps they could have added a few more mLs in there. Maybe Im just being greedy, now…
A few more mls, sure, but still, not as ambitiously priced as many of these luxury special editions we're seeing lately. And this one sounds more interesting than most…
Does anyone know if the TM Angel is actually in stores yet? Nordstrom doesn't have it yet.
I don't know, sorry!
Well, I want the Fig and Mace! And I bet you'd like to try it too
I thought Chestnut & Vetiver was a surprisingly great combo.
The notes make me drool. Good drool. I'll have to sample this someitme.
I was sorry to see the word “sweet”, but still, I'd love to try it! Never did figure out a way to get samples of the line though — offhand, in fact, can't remember how I tried the Vetiver except probably, someone was nice enough to send me some.
I have to agree with MarkDavid, I want more mls for the price!! And I do love Angel!
Wickle Fig & Mace. Reminds me of Queen Titania calling her fairies in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'…”Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Moth and Mustardseed!”
LOL!
