Angel (for women)
Designer: Thierry Mugler Olfactive Group: Oriental VanillaAngel has got an incredible admission immediately after it was launched. This fragrance, shaped like a star, has become popular among many celebrities. Only a young and bold designer dared to make a real revolution in the world of fragrances of the mid-80s. Angel is a real palette of fragrant emotions. It is so gourmand and warm with hidden sharp, even austere notes, spiky just like star points. Angel is joyful like New Year’s Eve, as there are so many sweet stuff in it: cotton candy, candied almonds, chocolate… but regardless of the abundance of sweets, no one thinks of it as of a childish fragrance; it is seductive and draws attention with its incredible femininity.
Light and airy top notes precede the fruity harmony of passion fruit, pineapple, peach and apricot. The composition is based on patchouli with traces of chocolate and other sweet abundance for each and every taste: vanilla, honey, and caramel.
The fragrance was created by Olivier Cresp in cooperation with Yves de Chirin in 1992.
Angel was launched in 1992.

I simply can't stand it. Too strong and sweet for me. It's a modern classic, I have to admit it, but I don't like it. It's a very popular fragance, because I smell it everyday in the street and it's a bestseller.
The only Angel I like is Pivoine Angel. Why? Because it doesn't smell like Angel.

I had a blotter with this fragrance for month and it’s still as strong as it was the first day. I really love sweet fragrances (actually I love only sweet fragrances), but this one is too much even for me.
10/06/08 19:06:34
I think this is the most disgusting fragrance I've ever smelled. I had it and gave it to my mom and she likes it a little but it's not her favorite at all.
10/03/08 21:57:38

i really wanted to get to like this, because the smell is very different, but i couldnt, its just too strong and gives me headache every time i wear it
10/03/08 11:27:05

Angel is one of my favorite perfumes everrrrr.... reminds me of a cigar & chocolate.
10/03/08 09:43:29
This perfume is so strong and overpowering. It makes my stomach sick
10/02/08 22:16:37
it is to strong and makes me feel headache...i do notlike it,no way..
09/30/08 21:52:30

For me this perfume was "love at first smell", now I think it is too strong, but I wear it in the winter.
09/30/08 20:34:05

i absolutely luv it. it's my favourite perfume, hypnotic poison comes in second. i smeell honey at first and spices ... a very strong smell but i adore it, afterwards to the end of the day it mellows down to powdery vanilla comforting smell.
a little goes a long way with angel. it's very strong. u can evern smell it the next day on your skin, after u had your shower. it's great

This is the only perfume that has enough patchouli to satisfy me, also combined with my favourite addiction, chocolate and wrapped all together in such a lovely unique composition.. very long lasting - every dime pays off!
09/28/08 01:21:32

at first it's very sweet and sultry and kinda heavy...it often gives me headaches but when the first notes wither away it blends perfectly with your own skin making you feel comfortable and oriental..i like to use it but only for special occasions...it is very expensive:))

Angel is a strange perfume. I absolutely detest it on me; it's the first perfume that actually made me physically ill. But, on certain women, this can be incredibly seductive and magical - I'm just not one of those women! I enjoy catching brief whiffs of it on others, but could never stand it in close quarters or for long periods of time.
09/26/08 22:29:46
I READ about this perfume and LOVED it before I even took a whiff- then I hated it on everyone ELSE wearing it. lol. On me its good, although no one I know can stand it- "too sweet/overpowering". I love the chocolatey sweet smell, and cant even smell the patchouli which is fortunate cause I cant stand it. One of my faves
09/25/08 05:20:24
i know that all the girls around the world like it so i don't like to smell like all girls i like to be unique
at the past it was my no.1 no i remove it from my list

Love this perfume. I have been wearing it for about 10 years and always get complements!
09/23/08 00:42:03

my favourite perfume. very warm, sweet, intense, unique, leaving a beautiful sense on the skin and in the air. i have noticed that people either love or cannot stand this smell..also it smells very differently from person to person..that's good,it makes it even more special!! i lllove it but my boyfriend hates it :(....so i don't wear it anymore.
09/22/08 12:57:31

Sweet vanilla , a soft fragrance ( in small doses) , nice for cold days.
My favourite winter fragrance.I always get kompliments when I'm wearing Angel...

On me it's just too strong and sickly overpowering
09/17/08 13:15:01

A fragrance that doesn't left anybody with no opinion - love it or hate it. It's a piece of art!
09/11/08 09:03:38
Me encanta este perfume,uno de mis favoritos! huele mucho a miel con un toque de chocolate negro-amargo y algo de azucar (algodon de azucar)
09/08/08 18:50:17

I Agree with "passion flower": The chocolate and tobacco and the horrid patchouli (hate patchouli) makes it extremely heavy - I feel seasick when my friend wears it. I can't tell her, but I can tell YOU! Spare us... It is not a bad smell in itself, but this perfume is a good argument for the cliche "too much of a good thing..." etc. Patchouli is not sexy-it is lame if you ask me...
I can see what the perfume is trying to achieve, but it is over the top like Natalia78 said. A sensual disaster.

i like it, and it's not suffocating when someone wears it in train, from other side it smells expensive and really good
09/04/08 18:18:11

This is a sensual disaster.If you want to get someone suffocated in a crowded train wear it!
08/27/08 15:49:46

It's a perfume that varies based on your mood - sometimes it's a nice spicy/sweet concoction and sometimes it's overly heavy and nasty. Basically a winter scent, I shudder to think of wearing it in the summer heat. Overall, a perfume that you can probably wear once a year and be satisfied with - it's not really an everyday fragrance.
08/23/08 02:52:40

In 1998 I was in Washington DC and was at the LeFant Hotel. The lady at the desk had it on and I loved it. I flew back home to Alabama and immediately located the perfume. I've worn it since. I would have to say it's one of the most beautiful fragrances ever. Men love it!!
08/20/08 17:56:07

KeLLStar and Ichayonalisa, thank you for tips on applying and wearing this fragrance. I received a large bottle of it as a "prize winner" and have the same kind of love/hate relationship with this fragrance as many others here. In actuality, I really DO want to enjoy this fragrance because it has so many of the floral & food notes that I find irresistible. Wildflower, where did you spray this perfume that now you can wear it? On your hair? Your legs? Where can a lady apply it so it smells less potent?
08/16/08 03:52:21

It's horrile. It gives you a headache even if you spray it a little. It's too strong ans too sweet. The advertising and the bottle are great 'n all, but the perfume itself is awfull.
I couldn't wear it so i gave it to my friend.... but she's not wearing it either.

I tried this on when I was looking for something dark and strange.. and found myself surprised to be enjoying a sweet melon blast of strong, cool clarity. Angel. I bought a whole bottle of the stuff. It was great walking through the car fumey city with such a piercing sweet ray around me. It cost heaps.
The next day I couldn;t believe what I'd done.. bought a bottle of sticky sugar fairy floss... sweeeeeet yuck I hate sweet perfume! But this one just hit a right note somehow. Tried it out at work and it was fine. But am embarrassed to like it. It's so flatly sweet and sticks to clothes for days. Must be totally chemical. I think it should be one of the cheap ones at the chemist so it might be worth having for a fun squirt sometime. But I have no idea where the tobacco/patchouli notes are supposed to be.... I smell nothing faintly like that. our noses are so different!
What I DO like to do with Angel is layer it with Geurlain Vetiver. Now there's a thought! The Guerlain is light enough to send little live sparks through the etheric syrup of Angel. The whole thing deepens and gets really interesting. Seems to produce a sort of heat in ther interaction, and phantom notes that couldn't really be there.. a peppery fennel...

I think this perfume is horrible!
To me the tobacco/patchouli smell overrules anything else, I don't like it at all! I gave it away to someone who does like it.

I am not a fan of this perfume, cute bottle though.
07/31/08 19:01:41

this perfume is soooooooo sweeet...but when u wear it with multiple spray or at noon or in a hot or closed room/car?(pleasee..)it's gonna be a disaster to somebody next close to u,coz TOO SWEET is TOO MUCH.
07/28/08 19:39:08
To me, this smells too much like tobacco! Maybe it's just too heavy for me. Everyone around me seems to like it though.
07/08/08 07:13:55
I have to say that I was wrong about this fragrance!
Today my friend asked me to try it just this one last time, (she´s a fan of angel)so I did, so she would be happy.. and guess what? a miracle happened!
-it wasnt at all bad anymore, I guess it does matter where and when you spray it, since this time I sprayed it to a different place than last time.. and it was pretty lovely, the chocolate wasnt that overwhelming, and the caramel was just great.

I think this is a sexy fragrance, i never get tired of smelling this.

"It's like the smell you'll get when you open your fridge after a-year-long-vacation's away: the odor of various cake and dessert mixes together that just makes you sick."
I agree with sophywt.

Very different smell!
Calm and green, yet very sweet, sharp and chocolaty.
When I first time sprayed it to my arm I absolutely hated it. I could only smell that hidious dark chocolate.
After one hour, I thought that the chocolate smell had calmed down and the fragrance was wearable, and I didnt hate it that much any more. Still, I wouldn´t never buy it.
I also got this weird feeling that this scent doesnt fit to a wearer without something blue clothing or accesories?
That isn´t because of the bottlecolour, it´s the calmness.
I think this is the kind of scent that doesnt suit for everyone, including me.

This one is too delicious, warm and sweet. And I just can't resist the temptation to put a little more on my wrist! Well, you might guess what happened next: Angel turns into Beast.
It's like the smell you'll get when you open your fridge after a-year-long-vacation's away: the odor of various cake and dessert mixes together that just makes you sick.
I got a lesson from Angel: one spray is perfect, two, you get nausea.

I get sick everytime i smell it. After Chanel No. 5, this is my most hated perfume.
03/30/08 13:21:52

Angel is a such a different fragrance that at first I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, but I do.
It's intruiging.
It's daring.
It's very strong at first, quite a sweet & savoury scent. Like other heady fragrances these first notes may be enough to scare someone away from Angel forever, especially if too much is sprayed.
After about half an hour the notes warms up. I can smell the hints of chocolate/caramel/honey & the sweetness of these scents is countered perfectly by the patchouli. Who would have thought this combination would have worked?
Personally, I don't wear it everyday - I feel if I did I would get sick of it, so for me Angel is a once in a while scent.
The bottle is simply gorgeous. I wish there was a stand for it as even the smallest one takes up a bit of room in my cupboard but that's just a tiny insignificant "complaint". The 100ml bottle is not a star - obviously it would be much too big if it was!
I bought a small 10ml refillable star as a quarter spray drizzle per use is enough for me. It will last me a long time.
Another good thing about the Angel bottle is that the nozzle is perfect to create a tiny drizzle if you choose. Some perfumes make you do a full spray or nothing - no comprimise.
I do recommend Angel, but go to your local perfume counter & spray it on your skin, try not to smell for an hour & then smell it. Then you can decide if Angel is for you from the true scent of this perfume.

It is one of the more unique fragrances I have ever smelled and I would purchase a small bottle... it isn't everyday wear.
11/03/07 03:45:56
This is so popular. I have never tried it, however, it's definitely something I'd like to experience. I've read that's it's original and wonderful.
10/21/07 14:36:39
I started to wear this perfume some years ago and I've never had so many compliments on any other perfume. It's so beautiful and sensual, it has many layers of lovely scents that seem to appear as time goes by while wearing it, all blended together so skillfully. This is one of my all time favorites, I love it!
10/11/07 23:21:23

this perfume drives guys crazy! i love it! :)
10/02/07 03:04:44
did you know that angel was selected as the best fragrance in 2007 at the American FiFi Awards&Celebration? good things are always good :)
09/25/07 22:16:30
Very classy, I love it on my girlfriend. I believe that perfumes are a way to express ourselves. Therefore I have a rule : cannot wear the same perfumes as my friends. With this one I am tempted to forget my rules and go and grab myself a bottle of this magick potion.
09/21/07 00:45:51
it is a greate fragrance. but i found something new about it the other day. i smelt a perfume on my colleauge, when she past by me, and asked her what perfume it was. when she said it was angel i was surprised. it smelled totaly different on her. interesting.
08/15/07 15:58:10

Authentic, warm, sweet, spicy, for me Angel is one of the best. Many people either love smell of this perfume or absolutely hate it.
It gives boundless energy, and strong ability of seducing.
For me , this perfume revive some of best moments of my life.
