Angel Garden Of Stars - Pivoine Angel Thierry Mugler for women

i agree with a lot of other reviews that this twist on angel is powdery. i would also add that i agree 100% with black bacarra. in my opinion, there is a serious skank element to this scent. very shower-inducing for me.

THIS IS THE ULTIMATE FRAGRANCE FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS A UNIQUE, SEXY, FRESH, SOFT AND INTIMATE SCENT. I cannot say enough good things about this lovely man Thierry Mugler. I have been wearing Angel now for like, 7 years or more, and once I was introduced to Garden of Stars I couldn't pick a fave. But Peony stuck with me.. and normally I don't like Peony. I normally do not like florals unless they dry into a powdery, musky, soft, vanillay, amber like-smokey scent. And this does. It has just enough floral freshness at the beginning notes and enough softness that lingers on your skin. THAT IS.. on the *right* skin tone.. everyone is different.. and it wont work for everyone.. It has staying power and I can smell it on myself even after the day is over. I use only 2 sprays, one on my chest and one on my pulse points that I rub together and THEN rub on my neck. And it lasts that long. ...Simply fantastic.

My second favourite in Mugler's Garden of Stars series. Powerful, incredibly long lasting and so peppery! I wear this during the autumn and winter months as it is so warming. It sits beautifully on my skin and I love it when it gets into my clothes as well! The aroma lingers on my clothes for weeks!

I like this very much. To me it smells like a mix of peony and rose wrapped in a bit of smoky cloud... lying down in a pile of roses and peonies and lighting a cigarette kind of smell... it's different and that's why I like it very much..just like Dior Dune it has that special something...something smokey-rosy...and while everyone will notice you wearing it, nobody will be offended by it.

I am not keen on the original angel as I find it too strong however I do like this version. It is quite strong so don't need to squirt on too much and the dry down is less intense than the original angel and bit more floral...not sure I can actually smell peony though. Definitely an evening or winter smell.

i love the chypre peony smell,is a bit spice as well.i dreamy scent very modern,very different peony.but the price is just ....mental.i think they really take the mick.sorry but tm have to change something on their price tag.

I find that the peony did not last as long as i hoped, and found itself smelling like regular angel.

this to me is a mixture gone a little bad , the Piones dont match the other notes , it smells . chep and somehow synthetic to my nose... very much sopy ,
this lake the originality of Angel , And Is a bit harsh and unplesant. Normaly i like Peony but not this one .

This was my first example of 'Why one should never blind purchase perfume based on the
a)cheap secondhand ebay price and
b) what a pretty bottle and
c)I really want to try something a bit different'.

This one screamed "I'M A PERFUME!" at me as soon as I put it on..AND KEPT SCREAMING.
It was unrelenting.
I put the bottle on the shelf. From the other room I could STILL hear (smell) it screaming "I'M A PERFUME!!! WOOOO! OVER HERE!!!"
I had to hide the bottle in the shed. It taunted me with it's peonyness. It was unstoppable. An Eric-Zoolander-One-Look like of scent - "ONE SCENT!".

At least, it was cheap on ebay second hand. And i have friends with very differnt taste who love it when i offload my olfactory mistakes onto them.
The friend who took it from me, she loved it. And it smelled good on her, bizzare the way that happens.

I own and Love Pivoine Angel. I have to say that I prefer it even over the Original Angel now. If I compare the two, which are undboubtedly related in smell... the big difference to me is that the original seems to have a strong coconut note, and Pivoine/peony has a more distinctive floral peony smell, with a lovely sweet musky dry down. Lasting power is good, and after a couple of hours of wear, on me becomes a softer skin scent. It draws compliments (even from other women) and I hope that they will not discontinue this one.

Sweet Peony opening! The top of Pivoine Angel is sweet, clear, and so beautiful. Definitely fresh for an Angel flanker.
It fades into an 'Angel' like scent, but a lighter, more subdued version.
I get no powder in the opening, but as it dries, it takes on a bit of powdery vanilla.
I like Pivoine Angel more than the original, and Violette Angel. It is less 'in your face', and more delicate.
It is the only version of Angel I can remotely see myself wearing.

I just got a sample spray vial of this scent...It's wearing nicely on me right now; the beginning opened up powdery, like Gucci Rush (but not as strong), and then it slowly changed to a light bunch of peonies, tied with soft stems of green...I'll have to see how it ends...

Pivoine Angel, to my nose, does not bear much resemblance to the original. The similarities are there somewhere in the deep drydown, but for the most part Pivoine Angel explores an entirely novel combination of green peony and pepper.

The floral aspects truly stand out with the peony-rose duo, thus rendering what is supposed to be a softer touch to the aggressively gourmand Angel. The pepper-patchouli would have been nicer as an accent, but I feel like they were mixed in with too heavy a hand; the overall impression borders on harsh and masculine. Pivoine Angel is fairly linear from start to finish, although it sweets and softens into musk towards the end of its considerable lifetime.

I definitely give Thierry Mugler kudos for another unconventional and distinctive fragrance; it doesn't easily smell like anything else on the market. And the lasting power and sillage are powerful. Two edp sprays and I'm set for at least five hours.

I'd complain that it's too strong, though. One spray, and suffered severe pepper-patchouli headaches in the car during commute. Pivoine Angel comes off incredibly uncomfortable and off-balance on my skin.

Marketed as "sparkling and carefree. A light enchantment of the senses." As furniture spray, maybe.

PIVOINE ANGEL is a *very* floral and nongourmand take on the original ANGEL, with peony dominating from the outset and through to the fade away. The classic ANGEL vanilla patchouli drydown never manages to overtake the heavy floral sillage, which will appeal only to those who love peony!

This is the same somewhat aggressive peony featured in EL PLEASURES and FERRAGAMO, in addition, I believe, to another Olivier Cresp creation which I find utterly unwearable, NOA FLEUR. In PIVOINE ANGEL, the peony note does not, however, make me cringe, so I may have made unjust accusations in the past about "synthetic peony"--not that it was synthetic (which it probably was and is) but that it made me ill.

Still, although I can wear PIVOINE ANGEL, it's my least favorite of the Jardin d'etoiles and I won't being adding this one to my collection, since I am about peonied out. Of the four, I prefer LA ROSE (though it smells like orchids!) and VIOLETTE.

This one smells like a strong version of Love's Baby Soft on me, very girlish..maybe different according to body chemistry? It's my least favorite of the Garden of Stars. That said it may be easier to wear for those who can't tolerate the original Angel-Pivione is softer in some respects.

This is the mostly manly smelling fragrance in my 99% men fragrances wardrobe (yeah, cuz I'm a guy). I do wish the flowery topnotes last longer though

I love this!! Got a sample today and the peony is just perfect!!! Thierry Mugler is the best!!!!

This one is ok for me,I love sweet frags,and this dont make exception,but original Angel just dont work on my skin,its too hard for me,Peony Pivoine is much better :)

Another huge disappointment after trying Mugler's Rose :-(
I love peonies in nature and I must say that perfume does not remind me peonies at all, my mum used to have garden full of peonies and there is no way that perfume smells like them!!!
The lasting power is somehow better than Le Rose but my first association when I smelled my wrist was that of crayons' smell :-) no peonies!!!!
After about an hour the fragrance started to remind me of flowers but these were still not peonies!!!!
The fragrance bacame a bit bitter and after another 5 hours it changed to sour, I was so annoyed and confused! I thanked God I bought only small bottle of that perfume but I was so sure that I was going to love it!
I tried so far all 4 Garden Flowers and I must say that although I felt sceptical about Le Lys and Le Violette - I actually fell in love with them!!!!
To peonies' lovers: Don't jump into getting yourself a big bottle, just try it first as the lasting power isn't too bad, but I just could not smell any peonies in it!

I am surprised at how much I enjoyed this scent. The peppered peony kept me fully engaged in the fragrance experience, and the green notes made it feel crisp and floral. The spirit of Angel was still very present, but I didn't get a headache from it. Who knew I liked peony? Usually fragrances this overtly floral don't work well for me. Eventually it dried down into a delicate musky scent laced with peony. I can't wait to try it during summer.

Perhaps not as pretty as the other fragrances in the Garden of Stars range in my opinion, yet still not something that has left me unimpressed.

Pivoine Angel is rather strong from beginning to end. Rich with patchouli, pepper and peony, this fragrance is more bold than pretty.

What makes this fragrance stand out over and above the other scents in this series is its lack of sweetness. Pivoine Angel is quite raw and simplistic, the vanilla is barely there.

The drydown is the only relief from this very busy and loud fragrance, which turns surprisingly soapy and musky on my skin.

Although the lasting power is well above average, this lasted the shortest out of all the scents in the Garden of Stars series.

I got this as a sample from when I did a trade here. It had the name on the tag but not the designer. I'm not familiar with Thierry Muglers perfumes as most stink to me. As soon as I sniffed this I didn't like it and when I found out if was from Thierry it didn't surprised me.

I am a fan of Angel and even Angel La Rose. I've try the peony and don't find it a flanker of Angel. To me its a complety different scent and the drydown has a distinctive musky note on my skin. Angel is an uplifting scent to me and Angel Pivoine is just the oposite. The Musk completly obliterates the freshness of Pivoine. I don't feel the peper note at all, which is a favourite of mine. Never thought it could happen... Angel failed me for the first time.

I don't like it so much angel+peony it's not such a good combination. At least on me. I would like to swap it if anyone is interested.
Staying power is pretty good, 8 h at least(during winter).

This was my least favorite of the "Garden of Stars". This particular one smelled the strongest to me. The patchouli, pepper, and green notes were too much.

This scent is balancing between grandeur natural beauty of the flower and delicate fragrance at heart. It's all about being luxuriant and fragile at the same time, spectacular in looks and sensitive in touch. This enchanting contrast is geniously expressed by Olivier Cresp.

OMG! I smelled cumin which strongly resembles underarm BO. It smells great the first minute then BO and a slight baby urine lingers on my skin. So not for me!

This fragrance has a very strong and pure peony note and for my nose it's quite far from the original Angel. Unfortunately on my skin it leaves the smell of soap at the end.

This scent I like more than the other Angel Garden scents. Sweet notes with pure peony, very tender.
