Angel Aqua Chic

I blind bought both Angel Aqua Chic's a couple of years ago, I never warmed to the 2013 version no matter how many times I wore it (did not like the rose note at all), and it took me a solid 18 months to really appreciate the 2012 version as initially I found it too masculine leaning. However, I honestly can't get enough of the beautiful aquatic spritzy lemon scent (which reminds me of traditionally made lemonade that isn't super sweet) in the warmer weather. It's super re-freshing and guaranteed no-one around you will be wearing the same scent so you can stand out! I'm not generally a fan of unisex style scents but I have really come to appreciate the craftsmanship of this version, you can still tell it's from the Angel family with the signature dry down scent. For an EDT legere it sure outperforms some EDP's in my collection (with traditional Thierry Mugler power!). If you can find a bottle of this its worth exploring this wonderful scent to wear in the warmer weather.

I've been on the hunt for a few new summer fragrances, and this is just perfect!! It's so beautiful and will be great in the heat as it's very refreshing! I don't find it masculine at all, it's such a soft lemony/vanilla scent. The lemon is most prominent on me, followed by a very polite patchouli, not like the patchouli in the original Angel. It doesn't overwhelm the perfume at all. I barely get the pink pepper, which pleases me immensely as i'm not too big a fan of pepper in perfumes. It does have a slight plastic whiff, which i'm assuming could be the cornflower, but it's not offputting in the slightest. It lasts ages on me, and i get the gorgeous wafts of lemon hitting my nose all day, but it's not too strong... I can't wait to start wearing this more come the summer, i can see me reaching for it a lot!

Right from the initial application this was very pleasant. The patchouli is there but it was not dark and unrelenting. Do I dare say refreshing? Yes, this fragrance successfully signifies the word AQUA. Whispers of citrus in the background along with the sweet vanilla and soft spices resulting in a fresh and upbeat version of the original. More friendly, highly wearable and still uniquely beautiful. This one is a big and positively delightful surprise to a non-Angel wearer like me. Angel and I did not get along well, one spray sent me dashing to the sink to wash it off my wrist. However, I was determined to explore the world of Angel until I find one my chemistry will be willing to work with. Then I was gifted this curious concoction, ANGEL AQUA CHIC ... finally the search is over!

This was a blind buy for me and I must say that I am disappointed by the longevity. It lasted less than an hour on my skin which is odd because fragrances usually last forever on my skin. Otherwise this is a wonderful fragrance. Much better than the original EDP. I love the EDT but the EDP is too much for me. This flanker smells wonderful. It opens with a fresh citrusy note that dissipates quickly and dries down to patchouli heaven that reminds me of Coco Mademoiselle, which is a favorite of mine. This would be a repurchase if it lasted longer.

summer fruitier version of Angel, as simple as that, i dunno why but i pick up a watermelon note from this.amazing scent trail.much more wearable than Angel.summer time this will shine.i imagine yacht on clear blue water and beautiful blue skies. lots of cocktails with hat and summer holidays music....happy times...unisex imo.love this 9/10 for me .lasting power is great...go 4/5 sprays, i reviewed it in "Joy Amin" YouTube Channel, can check it out of you guys want :)

This breeze of glittering silver spray is another work of art in the oceanic themed scents by Thierry Mugler. The notes are not cloying or heavy with the scent of patchouli or woody notes. The lemon scent is a wonderful opening with the pink pepper and sultan seeds. The base notes in combination with heart notes is chic, bold and energetic. This scent's sillage lasts so long and smells so soft and fresh as flower kissed ocean breeze.

I loved the original Angel when I was a teenager, but then got over it and could never warm up to it again. Tried this new version yesterday, and at first there is soft, beautiful citruses, playing with the cornflower essence. Then the 'Angel' comes out with its bedrock of patchouli and vanilla, only much softer and lighter and then finally, after 15 minutes, wonderful red berries that are not listed here. Fantastic combo, loved it!

I totally agree with "msajoy" below me that this is a totally unisex cologne, and I love his review as well, he totally said it all, this a great jewel to get and keep. I am wearing it today as a slight top layer on Versace Man Eau Fraiche and the result was very nice and will try this combo some more times during this Summer.. mmmm nice... I love this one as itself but mostly layering with some of my favorites.

Oh this is really very nice. A freshened, lightened up version of Angel that works beautifully in the warmer weather - heat and humidity. I sprayed this on earlier today and 4+ hours later, after a busy day of running around, it is still beautiful, refreshing, lightly sweet and wearable. What a treat. I think that I like this even better than the original Angel.

Fan of the original Angel and I also love this for all seasons and cooler summer days. I use Angel Sunessence for humid weather.

With the title "aqua chic" I always get too hasty with this one. This might appear to be something light & refreshing with the name and packaging, but it is so not like that for me. It sprays out a lot at a time too, I have to remember just one spray on my chest or I get a headache. This is a nice sparkly patchouli however, if you want a patchouli that is about medium in power with refreshing and warm angles this is a good one to try. The lemon is the strongest note followed by the patchouli to my nose, that's what makes the patchouli bright and sparkly to me. The cornflower too adds a nice cleaner crispness, although it is more on the subtle side for me. Overall though the fragrance is not very clean, but I feel like the cornflower balances the dirtiness from the patchouli so that it's more neutral. The vanilla is warm, and I'm not sure if it's an odd combination of notes or my imagination but I smell some phantom praline in here. Maybe it has something to do with the pink pepper note. Anyhow, if you would like a sparkling medium strength patchouli this is a good one to try!

I tested this one today thinking it would be a weaker, watered down version of Angel. This one is unmistakably an Angel and is anything but watered down or weak. She is brighter, crisper, fresher than her older sister but every bit as powerful and long-lasting. Upon the first spritz at 7:30am I thought: Uh oh, this is WAY too much this early in the morning. But then I started to enjoy the citrus opening to the very recognizable, very patchouli, very vanilla dry down. Ten hours later the fragrance was still going strong and I really didn't need to reapply but I finished up the last of my sample vial anyway just to get that beautiful citrus again. My reaction was one again: Uh oh, this is way too much. I really shouldn't have reapplied. In short, I like this fragrance. If I ever run out of Angel (doubtful) I would definitely consider replacing it with this version of Aqua Chic (I haven't tried the other yet) especially since this one is making its way into discount stores now.

I bought Angel Aqua Chic a few days ago and have been wearing it daily. I call Angel Aqua Chic the Pale Angel. Very light and close to the skin. The fruit-chouli accord shares a similar vibe to Chanel's Coco Mlle EdT, therefore if you like that perfume then you may like this Angel perfume. Aqua Chic is a fresh and airy Angel toilette in which the talked about hydrosols give the scent the airy feeling. Overall it's a pretty summer Angel essence in which you can still smell some of the original Angel accord. Longevity is five hours on me and sillage is low to medium. I do feel the price is high considering it is a toilette, but nevertheless, it is a perfume to sample at least. Hard core Angel fans will probably pass on this one but those of us who won't wear the original Angel EdP due to it tenacity and density, might enjoy the Aqua Chic. I'm enjoying it (so far). Nice bottle too and it's similar to the original Angel designed bottle but with it's own special touches.

I really wanted to try something from Mugler as I've always heard good things about this companies fragrances. This was the only sample by them that I was able to get my hands on. It lasted on me pretty well for about 5 hours & I felt like it stayed close to my skin. It started as a very green spiced powder & then slowly evolved into more of aquatic sweeter spice. As a review mentioned below it defiantly does have a fizzy club soda vibe to it with a hole lot of patchouli, but I hardly get any citrus from this. It is a truly unique fragrance & I haven't smelt anything like this before or on anyone else. I did enjoy it, but I'm not gonna rush out to buy a bottle anytime soon. I feel like I need to wear it a couple more days to let it grow on me, as it is very unusual.

I really enjoyed this version of Angel. This is going to sound weird, but it has a plastic scent to it that I honestly really like. For some reason it reminds me of the scent of one of those colorful vinyl beach balls, or maybe a clear vinyl beach bag. To me, that's the only thing "aqua chic" about it. It's not refreshing to me in any way. I guess I expected stronger citrus and cornflower, but I smell mostly vanilla and patchouli. And of course this edition is very nice for people who find the other versions of Angel way too heavy and complicated. This is a beach scent with a gourmand touch. For such a light perfume, longevity is excellent.

I received a decant of angel aqua chic knowing that It was going to be a scrubber. I thought to myself that anything kin to the original angel had to be just as awful as angel itself. But woah was I surprised! I actually like it! It's bright and fresh with just enough of the original angel to know its part of the angel family. I was so happy to have found an angel that works for me, and I was lovingly sniffing my writs when *poof* it was gone. I'm talking within minutes of application it was completely gone. This perfume has the worst longevity I have ever experienced. I was so bummed! Uh I guess angel and I were never meant to be :(

A softer, more aquatic version of the original. Subtle notes of fresh—yet not tart—citrus greet you in the opening and remain at the very edge of perception throughout the wear. The signature notes of the original are still present, but the entire composition is clearly lighter, both in terms of sillage and longevity. The bottle, charmingly blue, perfectly reflects the carefree, joyful character of the fragrance. One might say it is an Angel dressed in a white, flowing summer gown, standing by the seashore, bathed in a warm breeze on a pleasant summer day.

At first sniff, the top notes were intoxicating. I smelled a beautiful, fresh pink lemonade type smell. I kept sniffing it, thinking I had to have it. But then those notes faded very quickly and I was left with sort of a one-note, flatlined patchouli with not much excitement or depth. I find Angel, Angel EDT, and Innocent to have such a richness and roundness but Aqua Chic left me wanting more of, well, something else. I just felt it lacked the uniqueness and pizazz that the other Mugler fragrances have. Unfortunate since the top notes are to die for.

I just received a sample of Aqua chic and I already know I will be purchasing the whole bottle soon ..... First time ever I don't smell patchouli in Angel! On my skin it smells sweet like sugar with a bit of zesty lemon and lime juice and pink pepper but you could still smell that Angel chocolate-honey +vanilla note. It is very light and refreshing suprisingly. I absolutely love it ! Perfect Angel for spring and summer. UPDATE : I can smell patchouli at the drydown but it is very light and quite pleasant

I think guys can easily pull this off, it'll be sexy on both men and women. Throughout the top and middle notes its bright with a masculine,spicy hint, at the same time theres a slight, underlying rich sweetness. As u get into the base notes I just get the rich sweet scent. Definitely a statement day-time scent and it sticks around on me for six hrs, sillage is higher for the first 4 hours,during the last two hours with the base notes its close to the skin. The woman who wears this is surely confident.
