Angel Eau de Toilette, launched by Mugler in 2019, replaces the line’s first Eau de Toilette, released in 2011. Louise Turner keeps Angel’s praline and patchouli, brightened by mandarin, peony and a natural apple essence. The house presents it as a fruity floral gourmand and stands the Mugler star upright for it.
Three facets
The house builds the perfume in three facets. The first, luminous, pairs a sparkling mandarin with a peony accord that brings a breath of brightness: a fruity, floral opening the house intends to be fresh and luminous.
The gourmand facet revisits Angel’s signature: an overdosed praline, made juicy, is balanced by a natural apple essence with a crisp character. The velvety facet wraps patchouli in the amber warmth of a blond woods accord.
Apple and patchouli
The house highlights two materials. The natural apple essence comes from the food industry, like the caramel note of the original Angel; the patchouli, distilled twice, sheds its heaviest, earthiest accents for a lighter wood.
The notes left aside
Launch descriptions also listed red berries among the heart notes and cedar in the base. The house no longer includes them in its current pyramid, limited to mandarin, peony, apple, praline, patchouli and blond woods.
