Angel Aqua Chic Thierry Mugler for women

I was really shocked when I caught a whiff of this. Mainly because I cannot stand the original Angel, yet found this quite pleasant, and at worst, it's tolerable. The bottle is really beautiful. The opening reminds me of a cologne my dad used to wear (must be the lemon+patchoulli combo), plus it also smells like Lalique's Nilang (my mom used to own the original version). Nilang is a little sweeter and richer, Aqua Chic a little fresher and sharper, more earthy. But they smell similar, sweet-fruity-aquatic with a distinctive edge. Anyways, I like it. It smells unisex imo. Men can definitely wear this too, actually I find it too masculine for my tastes.
I prefer the look of this bottle with its sparkles and gorgeous greenish-blue shade, but scent-wise, I think the newer Angel Aqua Chic is more feminine without the lemon note. I would wear Angel Aqua Chic (both versions) all year around and would avoid it completely on warmer summer days. I don't think I would purchase, and infact, I'm giving the rest of my sample to my brother, I think it will smell better on him.

EDIT: Gave the vial to my brother, he has no clue it's marketed to females. He thought it smelled sweet and fruity, but still masculine, he really likes it.

Yet another angel flanker I like better than the original. I feel as though people who love the original angel won't feel as though any of the flankers live up to it. I don't like the original angel because on me it's smells like candy mole enchilada sauce which is awkward. I prefer angel EDT.
Aqua Angel is pretty, simple, and spicy. Mainly just the classic rough smelling patch from thierry with sunny lemons and sweet crisp corn flowers. Like the original perfume angel decided to take a load off and went on vacation through a field. The pepper and vanilla play off of each creating a strange dynamic of sharp and smooth. I would happily wear this year long, I don't really see it as an "aquatic" summer scent. Very very nice.

I am really disappointed with this one. I was happy to find lighter version of Angel which would be suitable for summer. And it is if not the lasting power which on me is totally none. I love the scent, it's light and unique (even though so popular these days). After 2 times spraying it is noticable for first 15 mins and then it's just gone. Such a shame. Nothing else than coming back to EDT.

I think guys can easily pull this off, it'll be sexy on both men and women.
Throughout the top and middle notes its bright with a masculine,spicy hint, at the same time theres a slight, underlying rich sweetness. As u get into the base notes I just get the rich sweet scent.
Definitely a statement day-time scent and it sticks around on me for six hrs, sillage is higher for the first 4 hours,during the last two hours with the base notes its close to the skin. The woman who wears this is surely confident.

itried this yesterday it remind me of see preez for ten minutes then it turned like men after shave cologne ialredy have the virsion of 2009 and it is more better and femmine than this

Right from the initial application this was very pleasant. The patchouli is there but it was not dark and unrelenting. Do I dare say refreshing? Yes, this fragrance successfully signifies the word AQUA. Whispers of citrus in the background along with the sweet vanilla and soft spices resulting in a fresh and upbeat version of the original. More friendly, highly wearable and still uniquely beautiful.

This one is a big and positively delightful surprise to a non-Angel wearer like me. Angel and I did not get along well, one spray sent me dashing to the sink to wash it off my wrist. However, I was determined to explore the world of Angel until I find one my chemistry will be willing to work with. Then I was gifted this curious concoction, ANGEL AQUA CHIC ... finally the search is over!

I am not fond of any Angel versions as I find them uninteresting, too light and I feel they somehow ruin the whole concept of the original Angel, but Aqua Chic is beyond all expectations.

This crème de la crème for a perfect summer feeling, refreshing, radiant, energizing, uplifting, it instantly puts smile on my face, I adore it! I see slight resemblance with Shiseido Zen.

One more perfume that I regret it being a limited edition.

I don't understand what has happened here. I sprayed Aqua Chic at Sephora, smelled the card, and thought, "Wow, that is a totally different take on Angel!" and walked away. A couple of months later when their VIB 20% off sale was going on, I returned to buy it, but by then it was gone.

I found a site that was having a 20% off deal, and ordered Aqua Chic. When it arrived, I spritzed one little drop on one wrist and let it dry.

Suddenly my husband, who was downstairs, is sniffing the air and saying, "It smells like a perfume counter in here!" It was so strong that the scent had traveled downstairs and almost immediately I couldn't detect anything other than Angel. There were no citrus notes, no cornflower, or even the lighter, more refreshing scent that I had smelled in Sephora. It's just Angel, straight-up.

So either my bottle was filled with the wrong juice or my nose has failed me. It's been about four hours now and I washed that wrist thoroughly and it still smells so strongly. I'm pretty disappointed as I was looking for a lighter, more refreshing version of Angel.

This breeze of glittering silver spray is another work of art in the oceanic themed scents by Thierry Mugler.

The notes are not cloying or heavy with the scent of patchouli or woody notes.

The lemon scent is a wonderful opening with the pink pepper and sultan seeds. The base notes in combination with heart notes is chic, bold and energetic.

This scent's sillage lasts so long and smells so soft and
fresh as flower kissed ocean breeze.

Angel Aqua Chic is a really fresh take on the original Angel, however it's lacking the gourmand qualities that I enjoy. It's a somewhat light and musty patchouli scent, freshened up with sour, sparkling citrus.

Although the original is fairly controversial and difficult to wear, it has character. Unfortunately the same can't be said of Angel Aqua Chic. Its inoffensive sillage and approachable scent makes it great for Summer, but also very bland and unexciting.

I have no idea what cornflour is supposed to smell like, so I can't really detect it in this composition. Like I mentioned before, the patchouli is quite a dominant fixture in Angel Aqua Chic. However, it does vary in strength. During the opening it seems less noticeable, but by the drydown it becomes much more apparent.

Like the original Angel EDP, this Summer flanker also has a touch of mystery. It's not a bad scent, however I would probably choose the original over and above Angel Aqua Chic, (and any other similar Summer-inspired flankers for that matter), if I ever had Angel cravings.

I don't know about anyone else, but I would love to see an Angel intense flanker. Now that would be fun. But then again, I suppose Angel Liquer de Parfum has already achieved that.

On a more positive note, the longevity is to be applauded. It's a good concept and a pleasing result. However if I were the perfumer, I would either make it more aquatic and crisp, or skip making it altogether.

I love this *Angel light' without being able to tell the various notes apart..It's definetely a summery scent!

It also reminds me of the 2011 Angel Silver Ocean Sunessence version, but I believe it's a tad more salty and lemony. Can anyone corroborate?

I definitely love it, its sparkly, lemony and marine. The salty notes make it for me, its like ocean foam on your skin...I lived by the ocean all my life, this certainly takes me home. Unfortunately it stays on the skin for a pretty short time, 3 hours and its gone... the final notes remind you of the original Angel which is nice, since its still there without being overwhelming. I used Angel a long time ago and now its just too much, but this version made it!! I'm curious about Angel Ocean d'Argent...I wish I could try it and compare. The Angel Sunessence Pivoine is much similar to Angel but the Pivoine added a Victoria's Secret quality to it that for me is unbearable. Aqua Chic brings Italian champagne and summer evenings by the beach together with a hint of chocolaty-vanilla in the end...eatable! Just be ready to spray it often because it will fade away very fast.

WOW... nice job on aquatic mood. Several reformulations indicates how flexible Thierry Mugler perfumes are.
For this one, just consider the original Angel and add some leafy watery tone with a bit chilly theme and less sweets that although the main theme is the same but the entire combination is different.
Aqua Chic is just a Mugler fan's item not in hot weather but in more casual way.
Although I prefer Angel, this is just outstanding.

This is much more wearable Eau de Star! Starts off really muffled, pale and way too silent. Like, they washed away everything that was great in original. I thought that this shamelessly cut down version was boring as hell.

Next one there was patchouli and sweetish notes like Eau de Star Lite with a little cologney accord. Lasts, but not too original.

Bottle looks the same as 50ml Angel EDP only it has glitter coverage. Glitter doesn't go off or stay on hands. It's like lacquered or someting.

Angel Aqua Chic is worse than the original Angel. It smells of patchouli, patchouli and more patchouli. I don't know how this is suppose to be a summer scent!!

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.

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.

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

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.
