Angel Garden Of Stars - Le Lys Thierry Mugler for women

Hmmm... I am not sure why it smells this way on my skin, but basically this Garden of Stars Le Lys smells like the original Angel clashes with original Alien then it dries and settles down into original A*Men. It's very white floral and heavy patchouli before it becomes dense and rich with spice and honey. One gotta be a biggest fan of Thierry Mugler to really enjoy this fragrance. Or anything of his... Really. :)

I had Violette, which I didn't care for and I own La Rose, which I love. I tried this one and while I liked it, I ended up not purchasing it. Why? Well, it just didn't have that "Wow" factor. It's nice and would be great for year round I believe, but I guess it was the lily note. Maybe I'm not used to smelling lilies, or it could have been a bad tester. I love just about all of Mugler's creations and I own a few of them. I really wanted to like this because the notes sounded so heavenly. Either way, I will try this one again. I'm betting the perfume from the tester was bad, which might explain the weird aroma. Anyway, when I get a chance to try it again, I will update.

I didnt like it at the beginning.It smelled weird... But now after few weeks of having it i actually got to like it. It is like lillies sprayed with a light version of Angel. I think it is a very original idea. The fragrance is warm , flowery and still strong but not as overwhelming as the original Angel.

This Garden of Stars is the lightest one of all. You can definitely get away with wearing this one during the summer months. I love the finishing notes of patchouli and vanilla. I don't get a lot of water lily out of this one though. Gorgeous!

Very nice!

I have a little bottle of the original Angel, which I find hard to wear lately since the patchouly is so stingy and strong on my skin. It's actually not sweet at all on my skin.
Now Angel le Lys on the other hand, opens with the same recognizable Angel patchouly smell, but accompanied by a very lovely Lily note, which makes the whole composition a lot more tender! Tender, soft and sweet.. Where the Lily has almost a powdery feel, but nevertheless the original Angel charactre keeps singing on the background the whole journey.
A really lovely, more romantic and les harsh version of Angel and a lot more wearable to me.

The original ANGEL did not work for me but I had hopes that ANGEL LE LYS will work better. And it seems to be better behaved and easier to wear than its predecessor. The lily is quite noticeable but I would not call it a typical crispy floral. It has honey like gourmand quality while still remaining fresh due to the lily.

The beginning of this fragrance is not as harsh as Angel but it is still quite disharmonious. There are dried dusty fruits mixed with patchouli on one side and crispy green lily and lily of the valley on the other side. The composition wrapped in almost sickly sweetness. It is like the notes are shouting and trying to outdo each other. Thankfully this cacophony calms down when the scent morphs into the heart notes of honeyed lily mixed with a pint of nutmeg and caraway. The composition turns quite pleasant and very likeable to my taste at this stage. The scent significantly improves towards the dry down and turns into this gorgeous creamy vanilla like scent similar to Angel’s dry down but with a hint of lily.

The sillage and longevity are awesome. I am not sure about the top notes but the rest of the fragrance pulls it together quite nicely.

I love this! Sweet, comforting, sad, delicate. I can't smell any distinct note. Just creamy floralness. Sweetened with honey. Similar to Angel, but more heavenly because of it's softness; but down-to-earth because its subtle sweetness. Like other Thierry Mugler fragrances, the patchouli doesn't come through on my skin. Which is too bad in most cases because I love patchouli, but I don't mind it lacking in this.

I should point out right off that I can't tolerate the sweetness of the regular Angel.

This one is a lot more toned down thankfully.

It starts out with a strong acetone note (yep) then the sweetness. After that a really delicate lily of the valley smiles on the blend.

I am generally not a fan of floral but I have a weakness for spring florals like the the lily of the valley in this one. It is a bit cloying though.

After settling on my skin a bit I then get the nutmeg on the bed of amber patchouli.

I don't pick up on the fruit individually, just brightness and sweetness. Although honey is listed I get more of a sugar sweet than a smooth mellow honey sweetness.

For a perfume that has nearly everything I dislike in a perfume, it's actually not bad which is saying a lot! It is ultimately still too sweet for me though - but not by much.

I think it's much more balanced and tolerable than Angel for those who can't handle extreme sweetness.

It's a sweet bright floral with a nice base that isn't weighed down by woods and a good springtime scent imo.

this smells like but on my skin. too strong and stinky. awfull, bleah. thank god i only have a sample of this. i like peony though.

I wouldn't have guessed that caraway and nutmeg might marry well in a perfume, but in LE LYS from the Thierry Mugler Jardin d'Etoiles series, they do, imparting a unique spiciness which is slightly dark but neither recognizably nutmeg nor recognizably caraway.

The florals, too, are not assertive enough for my nose to identify them by name, but what cannot be denied is that the drydown of LE LYS is a comforting honey patchouli--a distinctive variation on the standard ANGEL vanilla patchouli theme.

What is the same, is the dominance of the patchouli, but in LE LYS, the honey adds a new dimension and an appealing texture. This is less bread doughy and more, well, honeyed patchouli! I like LE LYS very much, so now I've been won over to some extent, since I'm no longer tied with Thierry Mugler fragrances:

Can't stand: ANGEL, ALIEN, INNOCENT
FB-worthy: INNOCENT SECRET, LA ROSE, LE LYS, LA VIOLETTE

I'm optimistic about LA PIVOINE...

This is my favorite of the garden of stars..the lily is present but not overpowering and stays through the dry down but the base is unmistakably angel; seems to be somewhat softer than the original.

too sweet

I was supposed to never like it as I could not imagine a lily fragrance for some reason :-)
I love Lilies but I though that the fragrance will probably be heavy and sickly but it wasn't the case. Amongst Mugler Garden's flowers - it is lily and violet that I fell in love with!
Le Lys smells great, first few minutes it is a bit sweet, watery sweet I would say. But will not cause any headache or migraine! Not that sort of sweetness!
After 25-30 minutes it gently settle down, start to smell a bit bittery-sweet which I really love!
After an hour I smell being in a small boat at the lakeside, picking nenufares and soaking my feet in a crystal clear water...
I can't smell ordinary garden lilies, I smell nenufares, water lilies...
The lasting power is great, just as Violet's - it stays on my wrist for aaprox 12 hours.
The bottle was well worth the money!
It is a shame that Mugler's Rose does not have that lasting power or distinct rose note as Le Lys...
Le Lys is like a black horse on a racing course. It was a nice surprise for me!
I thought I will never like it much and was actually prepared to give it away to my sister before even trying it :-)
I am glad I gave it try and that I put my prejudicial thinking about fragrance notes aside! I truly love Le Lys!

I see this fragrance as being a refreshing spin on the original Angel.

The lily, honey and fruity notes gives Le Lys an almost watery freshness and an undeniable casual feel.

This fragrance is missing the dark chocolatey notes which make up the original making this scent much lighter and for some, more wearable.

Le Lys is so fresh and different, clean almost. The dominant lily note makes this fragrance sparkle with vibrancy and colour. This is a variation of Angel at its prettiest.

The lasting strength is good yet the sillage is no where near as powerful as Angel is, however I admire this fragrance's subtlety. For lovers of lily fragrances or people searching for a lighter or fresher version of Angel.

I like the original Angel so was looking forward to trying this, which I assumed was a lighter more floral version. It kind of is wit the lily in it but from the first spray all I could smell was patchouli - and strong! After some minutes it faded abit and made room for the mid notes of honey, nutmeg etc and the lily is faintly there adding a bit of lift to the scent. However, if you hated Angel I wouldn't think you would like this, they are unmistakeably related, and I find the patchouli in this is amped alot more, so if you're a fan of patchouli this would be great for you. Over time this sweetens and the patchouli is less prominent and I like it more in drydown.

So much patchouli! I love the smell of lily of the valley, waterlily-all of the notes for that matter-except for patchouli, which dominates, acts overbearing, and makes me smell like potpourri--so sad! I have tester vials of all of the Angel Garden of Stars series, and I have made the comparison between Pivoine (Peony) and Le Lys (Lily)-I thought I liked Pivoine best of the series, but I like this best--that still doesn't mean I like it.....If anybody wants to make a trade of some interesting samplers for the sample trio, each twice-sprayed but mostly full (except the violet was once-sprayed), pm me! I am curious about Mugler cologne and there are so many perfumes that I would like to try, just look at my "selected for test" section!

sweet, sexy, refreshing and i have a clearmind. fruity top. lovely vanilla.

Le Lys is far the best for me out of the whole Angel family (the original and the gardens). It still has that unique Angel scent but in a smoother, softer way. Lily makes it more wearable for me, yet it is not a floral fragrance on me, rather a warm, cosy vanilla-honey smell.

This is an interesting fragrance to me, however I don't think I'd wear it everyday. It's more of a nice counter for me to the lighter fruity floral fragrances I usually wear for day. I enjoyed and could differentiate the top and middle notes, however the drydown was a bit more masculine a scent than I'm used to wearing and I tired of it. It's a very long lasting perfume overall. I layered it with a Thierry Mugler celestial body lotion.

Really love this one. I find Angel a bit overpowering but Le Lys manages to last well, attract compliments and be youthful yet sophisticated at the same time.

On my skin this scent was rather annoying and masculine, altough i love the orogonal perfume. Very powerful, high quality, but I don't like it.

It was rather strong, so use less, my husband liked it more than me. But I am keeping it. It is nice if you don't put too much on...Smells expensive!

For my nose this fragrance is less similar to the original Angel than La Rose for example. It's much fresher, flowery, and a bit soapy on my skin.

its similar to the original angel but lighter and not that annoying, nice

This one is so powerful, I'm melting with it:) Same dynamic of Angel notes, but quite feminine.
