Angel Aqua Chic Thierry Mugler for women

To me this smells exactly like Angel, only maybe a little less chocolate and caramel, and a lot more patchouli and a vague sense of flowers. I do like it a lot. It is definitely identifiable as a part of the Angel family.

WARNING: NEGATIVE REVIEW. Take with grain of salt or skip

I'm not too thrilled with this flanker of Angel. Very boring. Just the fruit/berry of Angel. Not much else to speak of. Imagine Angel stripped of patchouli, chocolate, and vanilla, or anything else...other than the red berries. Angel is a very interesting fragrance. This is not. Very very generic. Pared down far too much. More believable as a celebrity fragrance than a Mugler.

At first sniff, the top notes were intoxicating. I smelled a beautiful, fresh pink lemonade type smell. I kept sniffing it, thinking I had to have it. But then those notes faded very quickly and I was left with sort of a one-note, flatlined patchouli with not much excitement or depth. I find Angel, Angel EDT, and Innocent to have such a richness and roundness but Aqua Chic left me wanting more of, well, something else. I just felt it lacked the uniqueness and pizazz that the other Mugler fragrances have. Unfortunate since the top notes are to die for.

I fully expected to hate this, being a lover of the original Angel (not the current version which I swear has been reformulated into smelling nothing like it used to), but I actually really like it.

I mainly get cornflower and red berries like another reviewer. This to me is like the bits of Angel you're supposed to smell but I cannot. Thankfully also no aquatic bathroom cleaner type smell either which is what aquatics usually smell like to me. It smells like water, yes, but not faux-seawater-beach-toilet cleaner. It reminds me of a cornflower eye make up remover I used to have actually, Klorane.

It's not long lasting or huge on sillage but as a pretty summerish perfume, I like it a lot, enough to maybe seek out a bottle.

I bought Angel Aqua Chic a few days ago and have been wearing it daily. I call Angel Aqua Chic the Pale Angel. Very light and close to the skin. The fruit-chouli accord shares a similar vibe to Chanel's Coco Mlle EdT, therefore if you like that perfume then you may like this Angel perfume. Aqua Chic is a fresh and airy Angel toilette in which the talked about hydrosols give the scent the airy feeling. Overall it's a pretty summer Angel essence in which you can still smell some of the original Angel accord. Longevity is five hours on me and sillage is low to medium. I do feel the price is high considering it is a toilette, but nevertheless, it is a perfume to sample at least. Hard core Angel fans will probably pass on this one but those of us who won't wear the original Angel EdP due to it tenacity and density, might enjoy the Aqua Chic. I'm enjoying it (so far). Nice bottle too and it's similar to the original Angel designed bottle but with it's own special touches.

Woody and earthy, nothing like most aquatic fragrances but somehow still very sporty and fresh. The initially strong patchouli gives way to pink pepper, lemon and cornflower. That vanilla/cotton candy/spiced chocolate note that we love Angel ODP for is clearly detectable, but in a much more subtle way. I'd say it has Angel's innocence but it is chic and quirky for completely different reasons.

A summer version of the original and it's really nice, still strong on the Patchouli but lovely and great for summer and spring with a floral note and a Fresh Lemon note.

I like it, it's a mix between Angel EDP and EDT. It's better than Angel EDT because the very sweet berries are gone and perfect for those who want a very soft Angel.

I just received a sample of Aqua chic and I already know I will be purchasing the whole bottle soon ..... First time ever I don't smell patchouli in Angel!

On my skin it smells sweet like sugar with a bit of zesty lemon and lime juice and pink pepper but you could still smell that Angel chocolate-honey +vanilla note. It is very light and refreshing suprisingly.
I absolutely love it ! Perfect Angel for spring and summer.

UPDATE :
I can smell patchouli at the drydown but it is very light and quite pleasant

Very herbal, much like a man's cologne for me. and heady also, it doesnt have any aquatic qualities I can detect.Wont do for me at all.

A great addition to the Angel line. To my nose, it's quite similar to the Eau de Toilette, but it has a more "sparkly" quality to it, like sun-kissed skin. Imagine someone's skin while they're out in the sun, by the beach, with some tanning lotion on, or maybe relaxing by the pool. It may not have "aquatic" notes, but it's able to successfully channel images of sun and surf. If you want an Angel for summer, look no further. Sillage and longevity are awesome.

I loved the original Angel when I was a teenager, but then got over it and could never warm up to it again. Tried this new version yesterday, and at first there is soft, beautiful citruses, playing with the cornflower essence. Then the 'Angel' comes out with its bedrock of patchouli and vanilla, only much softer and lighter and then finally, after 15 minutes, wonderful red berries that are not listed here. Fantastic combo, loved it!

Angel has gone sporty!! If my decant is labeled correctly, this is nothing at all like the Angel!!! Or any Angel. I don't smell that strong patchouli or anything sugary sweet here. If there really is a patchouli, then it is a really subtle and clean one. It's delightful. This is, by far, the freshest and sportiest Angel ever. No salty oceanic note, no sugar topping, no cream, no calories. This should be more appealing to anyone, especially those who dislike the good old Angel. All the guys in the yard should check this edition out too.

This is a really soft version. It opens with Amalfi Lemon [wish that would stay around longer] but fades quickly. I get just a hint of the cornflower but cannot really discribe it. Then its soft patchouli all the way, the longivety is about 5 hours. Its easy to wear. Its easier to wear then the Blue Lagoon edition witch i have wich i find more masculin. Its nothing new not that spectaculair but very nice close to the skin scent and easy to wear. I can recommend it.

I really enjoyed this version of Angel. This is going to sound weird, but it has a plastic scent to it that I honestly really like. For some reason it reminds me of the scent of one of those colorful vinyl beach balls, or maybe a clear vinyl beach bag. To me, that's the only thing "aqua chic" about it. It's not refreshing to me in any way. I guess I expected stronger citrus and cornflower, but I smell mostly vanilla and patchouli. And of course this edition is very nice for people who find the other versions of Angel way too heavy and complicated. This is a beach scent with a gourmand touch. For such a light perfume, longevity is excellent.
