New print ads for Thierry Mugler Angel, Guerlain Homme
Every women would like to be thought of as angelic, I think, but shouldn’t be afraid of showing your strengths either.
That's Naomi Watts, quoted in Vanity Fair earlier this year after being named as the new face of Thierry Mugler's iconic Angel fragrance. Here's the first print ad; look for television advertising (and a new bath & body line) this fall. (via vogue.fr)…
Guerlain Homme ~ new fragrance
Guerlain will launch Guerlain Homme, a new fragrance for men developed by perfumer Thierry Wasser (who was recently appointed in-house perfumer at Guerlain), this coming August:
