Angel Étoile des Rêves
by Mugler
Angel Étoile des Rêves is a softer, more gourmand interpretation of the original Angel EDP, designed as a dreamy, intimate fragrance for nighttime use. It captures the essence of Angel—spicy, patchouli-rich, and sweet—but tones down the audacity and sharpness, rendering it a warmer, milkier version with prominent praline, vanilla, and sweetened patchouli notes. The scent opens with a bright bergamot and becomes enveloping and comforting, akin to luscious milk chocolate or an Oreo cookie, allowing for immediate wearability, especially for those who find the original Angel overwhelming or harsh. It is best worn close to the skin or diffused onto fabric, with many noting its graceful sillage and soft, satin-like projection. Longevity is moderate to good on skin and even better on clothing, though some find it faint and fleeting compared to the original. The bottle’s exquisite, frosted glass design with celestial motifs and its unique bulb atomizer elevate the ritual of wearing it to a magical experience.
Pros
- +Soft, wearable, and gourmand profile ideal for those who dislike the intensity of the original Angel
- +Delicate, smooth projection that feels intimate and sensual, suitable for night or private moments
- +Delightful praline and milk chocolate notes that make it accessible and deeply comforting on the skin
- +Ideal for layering with Angel body products or other gourmand scents, enhancing depth and longevity
Cons
- −Performance is reportedly weak and short compared to other Angels, particularly when applied casually
- −The bulb atomizer makes spraying awkward and limits dosage, requiring decanting or careful usage
- −Some users mention a faint 'dirty' or 'urine-like' hint, possibly from the bergamot or patchouli chemistry, though others find it pleasant
- −Limited availability makes it hard to stockpile, and the high price feels unjustified for its relatively low longevity
