Angel Stellar, Eau de Parfum launched by Mugler in 2025, extends the Angel collection born in 1992. Composed by Louise Turner and Jacques Huclier, it opens on bergamot, continues on a sweet and salty pistachio accord, and closes on a bourbon vanilla supported by a woody accord. The house presents it as a gourmand and amber variation, carried in the cobalt blue star bottle characteristic of the line.
Samantha Scriven (iscentyouaday) savors a creamy, salty pistachio, a softened version of Angel; Miguel Matos (Fragrantica) ranks it among the best variations of the line, less caramelized and drier than the original.
What critics say
A creamy pistachio
Samantha Scriven, writing on iscentyouaday in October 2025, finds in Angel Stellar’s pistachio a creamy, salty, almond-like character that, to her, works remarkably well: a softened version of the chocolatey DNA that made Angel so memorable.
With the bergamot opening and the bourbon vanilla, she smells more of a pistachio ice cream than the call of the first Angel, with a touch of biscuit. In her eyes, the patchouli provides the essential link to the excess of the nineties.
She concludes that Angel Stellar is anything but faint, yet it will suit those who found the original excessive.
One of the best Angels
Miguel Matos, writing on Fragrantica in August 2026, expected little from yet another variation and admits he was wrong: he ranks Angel Stellar among the best of the line. The pistachio, discreet to his nose, brings a creamy, gourmand texture somewhat different from the first Angel’s.
He describes a full-bodied perfume without heaviness, whose nutty accord suggests hazelnut more than pistachio, in the manner of Angel Muse. Less caramelized, drier and livelier than the original, Stellar is, in his view, both Angel and not Angel.
