Holiday fragrance gifts 2011, part 7

Our series of holiday gift posts is nearly done; today, the focus is luxury, by which we mostly mean spendy, and we’ve listed them in order from cheapest to no-you-can’t-afford-it. Our final post, which is coming up soon, is budget items, and not surprisingly it was the hardest of them all to complete.

If you missed them, here are links to part 1 (scented body products), part 2 (travel sizes & coffrets), part 3 (more travel sizes & coffrets), part 4 (home fragrance), part 5 (men’s fragrance) and part 6 (solid perfumes).

Mugler Angel Extrait with brooch

From Thierry Mugler, the Angel by Thierry Mugler Extrait de Parfum Signature Brooch: “The art of refined perfume meets the delights of feminine indulgences when the Angel Extrait de Parfum comes to life, adorned with a signature couture brooch designed by Thierry Mugler to adorn your décolleté! Made of zamak, the brooch is punctuated by a dramatic spike and embossed with the Thierry Mugler signature. The heavenly and delicious notes of Angel are concentrated into a rare and exclusive formula: the extrait de parfum, dedicated to fulfill extreme desires. Produced in a small quantity by Brosse in France, each Angel Extrait de Parfum bottle is engraved with a unique number, showcased in a luxurious box and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.” A bargain at $198 for 10 ml at Nordstrom

Thierry Mugler Angel Taste of Fragrance / Angel Gout du Parfum ~ fragrance review

Thierry Mugler Angel Taste of Fragrance

I know, I know, we’re all sick of flankers, right? The worst case scenario — maybe, the most common scenario — is a trite variation on a fragrance that wasn’t all that imaginative or important to begin with, followed by two or three or eleven more, evenly spaced over the coming months and years, whether the world needs them or not. Eventually, inevitably, we get the flankers of flankers, with their vaguely ridiculous names as though they just could not stop themselves — Victoria’s Secret Sexy Little Things Noir Tease Temptation, seriously?

But then there are those rare cases where we get creative and just-plain-fun twists on iconic fragrances. Props to Thierry Mugler on that score; they’ve done a great job over the years. The “Pure” series of A*Men flankers (Pure Coffee, Pure Malt, Pure Havane) have been highly enjoyable, and have accomplished exactly what flankers ought to accomplish: they’ve made me appreciate the original A*Men all the more. The Angel Garden of Stars series (Peony Angel, Lily Angel, Violet Angel and Rose Angel) did the same for many people, but did not manage to break through my long-standing dislike of the original Angel. Then lo and behold, they got me too, first with Angel La Part des Anges and then with the similar (and more affordable) Angel Liqueur de Parfum. If you had told me five years ago that they’d ever make an Angel I wanted to own, I’d have shaken my head in disbelief.

Now they’ve done it again…
