Angel Liqueur de Parfum 2009
by Mugler
Angel Liqueur de Parfum is a deeply gourmand, richly sweet, and woody interpretation of the original Angel. It retains the core DNA of the classic fragrance—patchouli, caramel, vanilla, and cognac—but presents it in a smoother, more refined, and more mature form. The scent opens with a bold, boozy sweetness of honey, cherry liqueur, and caramel, generously layered over a warm, earthy base. As it develops, the fragrance mellows into a deeply soft, syrupy, and aromatic blend that evokes dark chocolate, wood smoke, and a hint of powdery spice. The overall impression is one of decadent indulgence, with a warmth and depth that make it ideal for colder seasons, especially evenings or winter events. It is not for those seeking subtlety or minimalism—the sillage is strong and the projection impressive, making it a noticeable and memorable choice. Longevity is exceptional, lasting well into the evening without fading, and it leaves a sweet, lingering trail even after several hours.
Pros
- +Extremely long-lasting and strong sillage, making it ideal for evening wear and special occasions
- +A refined, smoother, and more elegant evolution of the original Angel, ideal for those who find the classic too intense or overwhelming
- +Offers a warm, intoxicating sweetness with complex boozy and woody notes, giving it a luxurious, gourmand depth that stands out in colder weather
Cons
- −Can be too heavy and sweet for some skin types, particularly in warm or summer months
- −Fragrance is so concentrated that over-spraying can lead to an overwhelming or cloying effect
- −Favorable for and primarily worn by women, but may not be wearable for those who dislike strong gourmand or patchouli-centric fragrances
