Eva Mendes replaces Naomi Watts as face of Angel perfume

Cuban-American actress Eva Mendes has reportedly been named the new face of Thierry Mugler''s Angel perfume.
According to Women''s Wear Daily, the Spanish beauty has replaced Naomi Watts, who was ditched from the campaign for not being "sultry" enough, reports the Daily Telegraph.

"While Naomi Watts'' ethereal beauty embodied the angelic aspect of the fragrance, Thierry Mugler chose to reignite the enticing and explosive dimensions of the fragrance with the sultry Mendes," the company said in a statement.

"Though her obviously flawless physical beauty is in perfect harmony with the artist''s aesthetic canon, Ms Mendes mesmerised Mugler with her independence, determination and humor," the statement added.

The 37-year-old actress has also appeared in advertisements for Calvin Klein since 2008.
