Wearing Angel by Mugler is a glamourous statement: If you experienced the iconic fragrance once, you will immediately recognize it among millions of perfumes forever. Angel, a classic since 1992, is a scent you either love or hate, but you can impossibly ignore it. Now Mugler continues the story and reinvents the fragrance. May I introduce: Angel Eau de Toilette, a modern approach to a legend.
How it smells
The ethereal freshness of Angel Eau de Toilette awakes pictures of a big cloud of sweet cotton candy floating on a pink and baby blue sky. Angel Eau de Toilette is a floral, fruity gourmand fragrance. Where the Eau de Parfum is sweet and sticky, it’s more youthful and fresh. The new Angel has an almost girly attitude, is not penetrant but still pretty long-lasting.
I always loved Angel for its originality but had difficulties to wear it because of its heaviness. On some days I loved it, on others, it gave me headaches. Finally, this is an Angel fragrance that is very wearable. I don’t consider Angel Eau de Toilette as much a gourmand fragrance as the original. Chocolate and Caramel have been replaced with beautiful fruity notes.
The notes:
Top: Mandarin & Peony
Heart: Berries & Apple Oil
Base: Patchouli & White Wood

I remember when I saw the iconic bottle of Angel for the very first time: I was in awe and thought this is the most beautiful bottle I’ve ever seen. The Angel Eau de Toilette comes in a flacon very similar to the original, but there is one cool new thing: For the first time, it has been transformed into a standing
