Thierry Mugler is a French fashion designer, photographer, and creator of a fashion design company of the same name. The company was created in 1974 and opened its first boutique in Paris in 1978. Owned by the French cosmetics and skincare company Clarins, it is now mostly known for its perfume division, as the couture division was closed in 2003 due to increasing losses. All Thierry Mugler ready-to-wear is now produced under license agreements. Mugler has published two books featuring his fashion designs and photography, Thierry Mugler (1988) and Fashion Fetish Fantasy (1998).

The Thierry Mugler company is most renowned for its fragrance Angel, created in 1992. The unusual scent, composed largely of "edible" notes such as berries, caramel, vanilla, patchouli, and chocolate, is the number one women's fragrance in France, the number two women's fragrance in Europe (after Chanel No. 5), and among the top ten women's fragrances in the United States. [citation needed] A men's version, Angel Men (known as A*Men in the US, Canada, and the Middle East due to trademark issues) that shares many of the same notes, was launched in 1996. Angel Innocent (now known as simply Innocent) for women followed in 1998, while Mugler Cologne, inspired by a soap from Mugler's travels, was introduced three years later in 2001. B*Men, the sequel to A*Men, was introduced in 2004, and in 2005, the Angel Garden of Stars fragrances (peony, violet, and lily-tinged versions of the original women's fragrance) were introduced. Alien, Mugler's first major women's fragrance launch since Angel, was introduced in limited distribution in late 2005, with the worldwide rollout continuing throughout 2006. Also in 2006, Thierry Mugler lauched a Rose Angel in the Angel Garden of Stars series along with "Summer Flash" limited editions of A*Men, Innocent, and Mugler Cologne. The perfume division is particularly renowned for giving unlimited credit to its perfumers in order to get the best fragrance possible, whatever the price.
