Angel Elixir, an eau de parfum launched by Mugler in 2023, shifts Angel’s gourmand character toward white flowers. Anne Flipo and Domitille Michalon-Bertier pair a milky bouquet of orange blossom, ylang-ylang and jasmine with a creamy sandalwood and a Bourbon vanilla infusion lifted by Amber Xtreme. Angel’s star is tinted a deep blue here.
The declared notes
The house opens Angel Elixir with a spark of pink pepper with metallic accents. The heart gathers a milky floral bouquet of orange blossom, ylang-ylang and jasmine grandiflorum, supported by the creamy essence of sandalwood; the base blends a Bourbon vanilla infusion with Amber Xtreme, a new-generation woody note.
Mugler cites a sandalwood from New Caledonia and describes the fragrance as a floral Milky Way, where Angel’s gourmand character leaves confectionery notes behind for white flowers.
What remains of Angel
Angel Elixir declares neither patchouli, nor praline, nor ethyl maltol, the pillars of the 1992 eau de parfum. The link lies in the name, the star and a structure that the house calls gourmand and woody, revisited by flowers.
