Angel Muse Eau de Toilette by Mugler offers a fresher, lighter reinterpretation of the original Angel Muse DNA. The fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of passionfruit, lemon, and mandarin orange, delivering a juicy, tropical sweetness that feels both energetic and approachable. This tart, fruity note quickly blends into a soft, velvety base of chocolate, caramel, and akigalawood, creating a gourmand facet that is sweet without being cloying. The vetiver and woody notes provide grounding depth, lending an earthy sophistication that balances the sweetness. While not a direct replica of the EDP, the fragrance shares a strong kinship in its hypnotic cocoa and gourmand heart, making it ideal for those who appreciate the Angel lineage but want something more wearable in warmer weather or daytime wear. It evolves into a complex, intimate scent that feels both modern and timeless, particularly well-suited for autumn and winter when its warmth shines. However, it is not universally appealing. The initial spray can feel overly sharp or synthetic for some, and the combination of passionfruit and vetiver has been described as resembling a wet garden or body odor by a few users. Longevity and sillage are moderate—strong at first but trailing off after a few hours, which may disappoint those seeking a lasting impression. Overall, this is a deeply polarizing yet invigorating scent, best suited to those open to its unusual blend of sweetness, tartness, and woody depth.
