Angel Garden Of Stars - La Rose Angel Thierry Mugler for women

This is my second review.
at first I didnt like it , it reminded me of pipe tobacco and gave me headaches.

I stopped trying to wear it for a a year.
Came across it the other night and decided to try it again.
OMG now I like it !

I think I was spraying too much before.
I have to be very careful to apply lightly.I can tell it still may cause a headache .

A really nice blend of Rose and Patchouli.
A rich deep Rose :) Glad I gave it anther try:) for sure!!

A little more sharp then the original. I prefer the original and I would not purchase another bottle of this version at all. I don't hate it but I don't care for it either.

My sister has worn the original Angel since its launch. I used to own the original (who didn't?) but I'm afraid I'm one of the people that gave it a negative reputation. Sadly, the lovely floral chocolate I smell on my sister turns into perfumed nightmare on my skin. (I love the way Angel smells on my sister). When Angel La Rose came out, I went through an entire bottle in a couple of months. I couldn't get enough of it. The florals and sweetness of Angel were present, but the rose tempered the patchouli and woods, and made this my perfect Angel. I loved the beautiful red bottle as well. I keep meaning to repurchase La Rose, because it's beautiful, seductive, and has almost secret hints of rose. It's warm, confident, and striking.

STILL SNIFFING! GORGEOUS!!!

I'LL FIND MY PEACE WHEN I'LL HAVE THIS BEAUTY!!!

WHY? OOOH WHY DID I TRIED YOU???
NOW I CAN'T SLEEP AND MY WALLET WILL BECOME ALL SHADOWS AND DARKNESS AGAIN!!!

:(((((((

BIIIIG NEWS!!! MY HUSBAND GAVE ME THIS FOR MY 27th BIRTHDAY! HE'S A SWEETHEART!!! MY SWEETHEART! LOVE YOU BABY!!!

I'm so glad I finally found a scent from Mugler's house that I really like! It starts with the overpowering pink pepper but the rose soon balances everything! I just love it! Very feminine,but with that touch of power in it....Indeed very sweet in the end,but still classy! Wow,I can't stop smelling my wrist!!!

*** I never liked the original Angel! This is a much more lighter version...***

JUST TRY IT!!!

A friend gave me this recently, thinking I would like it. I just cannot.

I was anticipating trying this in the hopes it would be the "one" Angel I could get away with wearing. NOT!

Just like all the other flankers, I can't wear this one either. It turns into the same brash animalistic concoction as the others. Attempt after attempt, flanker after flanker, the result is the same on me. Maybe it's just time I throw in the towel.

Hey, at least I tried... I really did.

My most favorite scent out of the Garden of Stars collection. The rose mixes so beautifully with the scent of Angel. To me, it has a very old-fashioned, dusty rose appeal. My second fave would be Violet Angel. Next would be Peony then Lily. These scents work well in warm and cool weather.

I bought this unsniffed; just looking at the notes, I knew it was gonna be a winner, and it was. In the beginning it smells like chocolate roses and I can really pick out the patchouli in the dry down. I really like this one, but I bought it close to the beginning of summer, so I haven't worn it much, figuring that it would be better matched to the cooler months. I can't wait for cold weather to get here so I can wear it more often. Another winner in my book!

I have to say I'm surprised - I actually like this. Never tried Angel so wasn't sure what to expect. At first I thought it had an odd scent (Coumarin)? But I've been wearing this last few days and have decided it is an alluring feminine fragrance that I like. Never been a fan of rose but somehow here it works. A blind purchase that was a lucky find - I highly recommend this if you want a perfume that is different and captivating...

Weeks later: OMG I'm so smitten with this perfume! Lush, heavenly and uber female. Like walking in a rose garden where the grass is sprinkled with spice and the breeze from the woods kisses your hair. My husband loves it and it gets alot of compliments from others. Lasts long enough to keep me happy. I'm a fan forever...

It is very much similar to Nirmala by Molinard to my nose but more rosy. Beautiful composition, epsecially I love the fact that despite of the chocolate and caramel notes, it doesn't make you smell like food.
It's pretty powerful, but unlike some sweet perfumes of this kind ( like Queen Latifah), it is very smooth and wearable.

I got a tester vial of this as a thoughtful little gift off an eBay seller ( nice touch !) when my bottle of Violette Angel 25ml arrived this morning .

What beautiful bottles these "Garden Angels" come in !! I need to get testers of the Pivione and Le Lys versions next to see if its worth me getting full sizes of those. I would like to complete the set as the bottles are SO PRETTY , and also i imagine maybe collect able in the future as they are discontinued i believe? HOwever , I can't justify buying a scent for bottle alone ( Unless its an amazing bargain find of course - Tip- I get some great ones at Car Boot sales)

To the actual scent , a bit of a jumble while still wet. Found it hard to determine any particular note except for the rose ( hey - my nose is very much in training ) . The chocolaty gourmand "Angel" scent comes out when the perfume dries and settles. I find this rose version and the Violette much more wearable than the original Angel....which is too heavy and cloying ans doesn't suit my chemistry.

Sweet and powdery on the drydown.

It has lasted well on my skin today. Good sillage too , not overpowering but just noticeable enough My BF doesn't find it as alluring as the Violette Angel , but still "nice and sweet and innocent " was his opinion.


Pleasant enough , Ive discovered I'm more of a Violet lover than a rose lover. But i still want to buy a full size of this perfume.

Id wear it as a nice daytime frag , spring or summer. I can see me wearing it with a pretty vintage, 40s/50s flora day dress. Perfect when you want to smell sweet and pretty as opposed to full on sexy/sultry.

Maybe perfect for a summer wedding, meal out in the country ect.

7/10 - Would be higher if i was more "Into" Roses :)

I forgot to mention the perfume bottle is stunning as well!

I tried the peony, the violet, and the rose from the Garden of Stars and while I was interested mainly in the violet, I fell in love with the rose. It starts out strong and no doubt about it, it is Angel. After a few minutes it softens and becomes this lovely and unique rose with a touch of caramel and plum. I wouldn't use as a day scent unless it is a casual fun day.(This is fun perfume.)After the blast of pink pepper and patchouli it is very soft, and seductive. I like the La violet as well but this one is much prettier and last longer on me. Like all Angels it last a really long time.

La Rose! How indulgent this one!! I love this one the most of all of the Garden of Stars. Great longevity, crisp, peppery, velvety, chocolately, just plain gorgeous!

oh ah... This is a realy good twist of angel .
Sweeter and cleaner then Angel . The angel are defenitly there . but this reminds me alittle bit more of the innocent angel whit a twist of rose.The start have the same twist of Bergamot and ,pepper. i can not say that i feel so much the Cumarin,(but then again what shall i look for? ) the plum makes it delicios whit its sweet notes, this is very much a gormand perfume to me , The Vanilla makes it kind of creamy when it blends whit the dark chocolate and caramel. the patcholi is a delight aswell.
this is for thous who cant quite take the angel whit all the notes in the heart . a cleaner version i would say..
To me, the best of the Garden collection

La Rose Angel resembles the original Angel a lot, bitter-sweet, still not the kind of innocent Angel that I expected, it's definitely a Dark Angel again.

The opening is a little bit fruitier; the Rose accounts for a bigger proportion than the original, yet not dominant; the gourmand base remains exactly the same; Overall it's an eligible member from the TM Angel line. Not my cup of tea but I really appreciate all the bottles of “Garden of Stars”.

Tantalising, sweet, gourmand - but everything in moderation. This is pretty good!
It's so not my kind of fragrance but I certainly wouldn't mind smelling it on others (used sparingly).

La Rose Angel starts with intoxicating notes of bergamot and plum. Far from subtle but a surprisingly great match.
Next the rose and pink pepper set in, a very nice uplifting combination.
At first I was a little disappointed when the heart vanished after only half an hour but the dry-down made up for it: Warm, sensuous, complex and longlasting (at least 10 hours). I get vanilla, wood, caramel and a soft patchouli. I can't detect any chocolate but then I wouldn't really trust my nose to find its way through that giant wave of desserts. I suppose what smells like hay with a hint of cinnamon to me must be the coumarin.

Update:
Do I smell apple close to the beginning? I didn't get it the first few times I tried this. Is my mind playing tricks on me?

I hate that I don't wear this more often because I don't think other people like this fragrance. But, that is the case. It is totally unique, with a very interesting blend of floral and spice. Too many oriental florals are overly-dominated by the floral notes...this one strikes a nice balance.

At first I thought I was really going to love it.


I could identify the Rose and it wasnt to heavy.

Ah,

but not long after the lovely Rose scent got lost and i ended up with a heavy migraine inducing scent that lingers and lingers and reminds me of pipe tobacco :(

(This review is for Eau de Perfume)

After rather disastrous testing of ANGEL, I have decided to give LA ROSE ANGEL a try hoping that the magic of the rose has managed to tame the dark forces that made ANGEL so unbearable to me. LA ROSE ANGEL is still ANGEL’s apprentice, faithfully following in the footsteps of its great and evil master but the disharmonious nature of ANGEL is rearranged and softened in LA ROSE ANGEL. The composition has harmony and unity though it still remains quite bold and loud.

The opening of coumarin, pink pepper and bergamot is a spice bomb. It is loud, bitter, sharp, smoky and a bit sickly sweet for a minute. However, once this explosion clears out, the fragrance becomes quite gentle and soft with the tender rose and nice fruity plum in the heart notes. The patchouli still creeps in but it is not as monstrous as in the original ANGEL. The base notes are the best part. They are beautiful with caramel, delicious vanilla and dark chocolate. The patchouli is nice in the base adding fine accent to the chocolate.

I still think that the opening is a bit too much for my nose but I have to admit that I like this fragrance way better than I like ANGEL. I can actually wear this one when in the right mood. The sillage and longevity are outstanding.

I own Angel La Rose, and I do like to wear it occasionally. It's not one which I pull out to wear everyday. I find LA ROSE to sometimes feel too heavily weighted, and it can accentuate a depressive mood.... it's hard to explain, but in those times, it is not really an uplifting fragrance. The rose note in particular is a powdery/old fashioned one in this fragrance. On the plus side, it has long Lasting power.
I am glad that I also own Angel Peony, which I find to be more uplifting, flirty and younger.

Very nice variation of the original Angel; lovely and comforting...lasts forever...heaven...

I don't like the classic Angel, but this one is more comfortable and wearable. It's not nasty, not too specific, good for every occasion.
I've found a tester vial recently and felt in love :-D I've had to buy a large bottle. It seems that I'm fond of such fruity-peppery-salty scents ) And yes, as Rose Zircon said, the patchouli aren't dominating (I'm not fond of patchouli too).

This is the most unique & maybe the best (in my humble opinion) of The Angel Garden of Stars Series (Rose, Peony, Violet, Lily).. =D
I think the 2nd best is Peony, 3rd Violet, & the least (dullest) is Lily..
At last.. i found the "Angel" that i love (I don't like Angel Original).. ^^

La Rose is somehow dark, lady-like, seductive..
I portrayed a noble lady in an maroon-vintage-Victorian gown..
long lasting floral-gourmand, added touch of "sour notes", & some "dirt /dust particle" notes..
Maybe because of the sour notes & the patchouli, some people resembles this as BO.. But in my humble opinion, that notes make this remarkably unique & very pleasantly seductive.. ^^
I'm not a patchouli-lover, so I'm happy coz patchouli in La Rose is light & inoffensive.. ^^

For you who want to try this perfume, please don't expect this as typical fresh-pink floral-sweet-light-mass market-perfume..
Coz you might be disappointed.. =)

Finally - I am happy I found an Angel I can enjoy wearing. Like others, I tried this so many times. Angel smelled great on my best friend. I tried several of the Garden of Stars and finally I decided to spritz on one more try with La Rose Angel. This one was different with me- I even enjoyed the initial blast that startled me with the others. It actually smelled nice and still carried the Angel scent, and even got better as the hours passed. I can feel confident wearing La Rose Angel. Whatever the Rose does- it masks the strange scent that has scared me of with other Angel scents. Funny that a Rose scent (which I tend to stay away from) made the difference. Finally!! I have found my Angel.

Thierry Mugler LA ROSE is a well-composed fruity floral with great lasting power and sillage and only a light patchouli drydown. But, strangely enough, the dominant floral note to my nose appears to be orchid! I find nothing resembling rose here at all. My best guess is that the coumarin and pink pepper have combined with the rose to produce what I am perceiving to be orchid.

This is good news for orchid lovers, perhaps not for those who were hoping for a new rose perfume. More good news is that the purple plum (which hits me like a ghastly form of grape jelly in ANGEL and ALIEN) has been neutralized also by the coumarin and pink pepper, it appears, to produce a very pleasing fruitiness that complements the pseudo-quasi-orchid well.

I recommend LA ROSE to those who like fruity floral fragrances, but don't expect this to smell like rose!

Straight up rose superimposed on Angel but a little softer. The dry down is very much original Angel..
Those of you expecting a delightful, easy to wear rose should be warned though- Rose Angel has dark undercurrents and can be challenging to wear! On my skin it strikes a nice balance as the rose tones down some of the original's sweetness.

I love it so much, I don't know why you don't love it

Yes, it is rather like standing at the wrong end of a jet engine, but it's lovely. A nose recently commented that by thier reckoning, one 25ml bottle should, with daily usage last around twenty thousand years. Thats about right. Can anyone else detect a blast of coriander/light cumin when this first leaves the bottle?

I love Angel for its uniqueness and dominating presence, so I was really eager to try the Angel Garden of Stars range.

This fragrance was the first one I tried and honestly I disliked it at first. My nose was assaulted with a strong burst of pink pepper, coumarin and heavy, old-fashioned rose. The opening was so loud that I was almost shocked, which is weird because I usually love bold and 'out there' fragrances.

It pays to be patient with La Rose. After the loud and incredibly rosy introduction subsides, the rose note softens into a beautiful powdery and feminine scent. It's hard to believe its the same fragrance that I had been smelling only minutes before.

The delicate rose note transcends effortlessly into the drydown to blend with the vanilla, caramel, chocolate and patchouli which makes for a truly delightful gourmand experience. The patchouli in La Rose is much dryer and lighter than in the original Angel where it can become quite overbearing.

Overall the lasting strength and sillage is as good as Angel, it will last and last. The drydown was the highlight for me by far. One of the most beautiful gourmand blends I have ever come across.

I love this one, sexy, intense, last me through from 6pm til the morning after. Best from Thierry Mugler for me.

Ok, I don't know what body odor note people keep talking about....but I'm going to have to agree that I don't like TM's perfumes. There's just something there that each one has...and it doesn't sit well with me. =( Otherwise, I'd probably like them. Perhaps the fragrances are just too strong or I'm just sick of it because I know too many people who wear it. I like to be different in many ways.

Im a fan of Angel and was lucky to get a chance to try this one. I find myself keep reaching for it more often, especially to wear at the office. Angel its still there but this versin is softer and mellowed by the rose, making it very wearable by day. Sadly I don't get the bergamot or pink pepper on my skin. just the rose bathed in Angel.

Great staying power and just right syllage for work.

Angel with rose, and still it has that awful body odor note that I can't bear. I've noticed this note on others, as well with this line of fragrances.

I didn't like it. The coumarin came strong and made me smell like sweat. Ick. Sorry! But I love the Le lys one of Angel.

WOW is all I can say. I bought the sample and tried it and had eaten many oranges. WRONG MOVE!!!! Your chemistry balance is so critical to what you wear in terms of fragrance and the least little thing can effect the entire balance. Needless to say, I got many complaints and was told I smelled better.

So I waited, but I just knew that with all of the research that I put into the fragrance and what was in it was NOT in vain. So I tried it again, 2 weeks later on a normal day. I made sure I had not eaten any onions or citrus items that day and WOW is all I can say.

It smelled TOTALLY different and I c the light! lol

I LOVE IT! It is strong, and I already know that a little goes a long way but i like it so much better than the orignal angel. Although I do not smell any roses, the sweetness of the plum along with the bergamot and the grand finale of pitchoulli serves as a wonderful symphony of sweet harmony and balance! With my chemistry these are the notes that stand out the most and is extremely agreeable with the winter time and cold air on the evenings. I leave a wonderful trail of sweetness wherever I go and its quite pleasant to know this in advance.

Here I was wondering what in the world I would wear on my first date and I had it all along!!!

I am sure he will love this and I cant wait to wear it this weekend.

Thank you Thierry you did well on this one without straying to far away from your signature note that gave you success in the original.

This one just so happens to work better with me.

This is an incredibly strong perfume; just one tiny spray and you can smell you coming a mile away.....much prefer the original.

For me it's the best scent from the Garden of stars collection. It feels like Angel is playing with the rose petals:)Amazing "modification" of classical Angel - absolutely love it!

This is such an incredibly beautiful scent, as is the rest of Thierry Mugler's Garden of Stars perfumes...Pivoine, Violette, and Le Lys are the others. I spritzed this La Rose in a store and immediately fell in love. Can't wait to buy. A unique Angel scent; sweet, seductive, and charming.
