Angel Eau Croisière

This starts out with a sweet/tart grapefruit scent blended with a ripe, juicy mango. It is so fresh that it seems like you can smell the oils that spray in the air when you start to peel a pink grapefruit, heightened by the sweet and authentic smell of a mango as if you just cut one in half and bit into it - you get a blast of the sweet juice as well as a touch of the fresh outer rind. It isn't a synthetic or candy-like sweet scent, just a fresh and juicy one. The citrus and fruity notes last into the mid notes as well, which I LOVE, because it's so hard to find a citrus top note that lasts longer than 10 minutes! The bottle is just gorgeous, and the colors match the scent of the fruity top notes perfectly. It stays juicy and sweet but as it dries down you get just a hint of the Angel DNA - muted but still present. The patchouli is in no way a "dirty" one, it adds a green warmth that just emphasizes the overall sunny, tropical vibe of this fragrance. It's like warm, well-tanned bodies on a sunny island, dancing in the sunlight while drinking tropical drinks! I don't get a sticky, obvious praline out of this fragrance but there is definitely a sweetness that lasts through the whole experience. On my skin the fruity top/mid notes last about 4-6 hours even though the base notes are there much longer - I can even smell it the next day - but those top notes are what I love so much, so I usually spray it again at lunchtime because those citrus/mango top notes are SO lovely. In fact, this is the first time that I have ever bought a back-up bottle of ANYTHING immediately after spraying for the first time!

I am already an Angel fan so I was keen to try this as soon as it was available. I purchased it the same day I sampled it. It's not that similar to Angel EDP, there is a hint of a similarity, but only when I look for it. The patchouli is there, sweet and syrupy like the EDP, but stays away from skanky territory. Eau Croisiere is far more similar to the 2019 Angel EDT, though, I think this one came out first (at least where I live). The dominant note is juicy, sweet mango with a pleasant fresh, bitterness from the grapefruit. This helps the otherwise very sweet and syrupy fragrance never feel too heavy and cloying, even on a hot, humid summer day. I really only wear this in hot weather, just because I love how tropical fruit fragrances smell in the heat. It always reminds me of a beach vacation. This fragrance does have enough strength and depth to hold up to cold weather. So if you need to smell like a tropical vacation in the middle of winter, this is a great fragrance to try. I get really solid performance from Eau Croisiere. For the first couple hours it has pretty strong projection. After 3-4 hours I find it stays pretty close to the skin. I do get nice whiffs of it throughout the day. It lasts 8-10 hours for me. I love the colours of the bottle, they are so fitting for the fragrance. The pink fading onto the yellow/orange is just so pretty. I wish they had used the standing star for the this fragrance. It's a shame it lays down on the shelf and I can only appreciate it's beauty when I pick it up.

I cannot wait for summer. I love Angel ( I have only tried the reformulated Angel not the OG ) and have been wearing the EDP and the old EDT ( Les Cometes ) all winter long. I blind bought the 2019 version and I really, really like it! I read all the reviews before purchasing as I was looking for an Angel flanker summer scent, I was nervous when I read that many got 'dirty mango' vibes but decided to try anyway. Upon first spray it is fresh, juicy mango with a citrus burst, grapefruit and lime mostly. It is bright and fresh. After about an hour I begin to smell the vanilla, creamy and warm vanilla with a little bit of caramel in the background. I do not get a ton of patchouli, which I personally love about the original Angel. ( I think you either have the chemistry and PH that likes patchouli or you don't. Luckily my chemistry gets on very well with patchouli!! ). I was hoping for more patchouli, it is there, but faint and very much in the background. It keeps this flanker grounded and from becoming sickly and too cloyingly sweet. On my skin this is not a beast, I get about 4 hours of wear time and then it fades. I don't mind reapplying though. I can't wait to see how this performs in the heat of summer! I will edit if any of the notes change on my skin with additional warmth. EDIT: I had some BBW Mango Lagoon body cream that needed to be used up and realized that layering THAT with this Angel, chef's kiss! It truly amps up the sweet mango and extends the wear time by several hours.

I blind bought Angel Eau Croisière 2019 and 2020 and I'm happy to report that I really like 2019 and adore 2020. The 2019 version immediately took me back to 1998 when I worked in the fragrance department at Victoria's Secret. It's a mix of all the fruity body sprays and Rapture EDP. (Remember that one?!!) Simply put, it smells like peach jello on top of a clean yet warm patchouli base. To my nose 2019 is more tart and has more of the patchouli aspect of Angel DNA (but still understated). 2020 is sweeter (and more complex) with more of Angel's signature praline note. Both are interesting, tropical interpretations of Angel, but 2019 is more flirty, fun, and addictive. Though I prefer 2020, AEC 2019 is still a winner for its sheer nostalgic value. It's not at all a serious fragrance, but way more enjoyable and complex than the comparable Escada. Surprisingly, 2020 performs way better, but I get incredible sillage, especially on hot days, for a good few hours, and the overall longevity is around six hours, which isn't bad for an EDT. You'll get more longevity when sprayed on clothing, but doing so makes the patchouli more prominent. I'm also happy to report that the fruity notes carry on throughout the life of the fragrance. It's not for everyone, and I would probably not repurchase, but I'm really happy to have this in my collection.

You're on a warm tropical holiday, the sun is on the cusp of setting, and you've just sat down at an open-air bar. You've spent the last hour feverishly dancing with hunky strangers. The bartender is cutting and prepping the fruits that will be used to make and decorate the cocktails and desserts that the bar serves. The herbaceous zing of fresh citrus oils and the sticky richness of mango juices intermingle on the occasional breeze. The air is humid, and thick with body heat radiating from the masses of dancing humans. To cool off, you order the vanilla sorbet topped with mango coulis and candied pralines. The server brings the dish to you, and you're enveloped by the scent of warm, jammy, sugared tanginess and toasted-then-caramelized nuttiness. As the server turns to leave, you catch a (blessedly) *faint* whiff of their perfume. You recognize it immediately - it's the unmistakable, repulsive-but-intriguing scent of the the original Angel EDP. But it's gone as quickly as it came, and you focus on your dessert. Throughout the meal, you find yourself catching whispers of Angel on the breeze, here and there. It's familiar but not intrusive, and mostly obscured by the other delicious fragrances that surround you.

This one is an exotic vacation trip in a bottle for me and is exactly what I acquired it for right before my flight to a country with a hot humid climate as it looked and smelled like it would fit right inn there and it did. The smell is beyond delicious and I wanted to wear it all the time to the point of overdosing. Gorgeous and relaxing the scent is absolutely mouthwatering, as the smell of an exotic coctail like "Sex on the beach" on a hot summer day. Mango is accompanied by ananas and they are both ripe and juicy, which is as enchanting as a good coctail can be. I know that ananas is not even listed, but that is the scent. Even when I am back home and want to recreate that feeling of a warm sun on the skin, juicy fruit and coctails being served, relaxing on the sunbed with a perfect book.. Oh, I just spray this Angel once and I am there, instantly. I do not know if the same magic will work in the winter, but in summer and spring it is perfect. If I want to wear it in the office, I layer it with another suitable perfume, but need only to spray it once in the hair and it stays for the whole day. Lovely. Funny, but I am not friends with the original Angel(not the TV series, the perfume).

I love it so much that I'm on my second bottle (and was very sad to find that it was discontinued and now hard to get). The mango tart fro-yo, beachy scent is pure summer vacation, taking you right to the shores of Hawaii where you gnaw all the way down to the mango skin because the sweet exquisiteness of the fruit is just that good. The patchouli blended in moves this away from the Bath and Body Works mango butter genre for me, and makes it more more complex. Don't get me wrong - the berries and the praline keep this scent incredibly sweet and young, but there is definitely something more sophisticated here than your average tropical. When I couldn't find this easily in 2022 I decided to go on a tropical scent adventure to my local department stores and niche perfumeries in San Francisco, smelling everything from Creed Virgin Island Water to Escada's Taj Sunset to Njie's Tropica to Kilian's Moonlight in Heaven. I really liked all of those too (with Njie's Tropica being my favorite of the pack). But with just a few sprays of this left, Eau Croisiere is still my No. 1 tropical, and so off to eBay I went to buy another one.

Everybodyyyyy there is a NEW ANGEL EDT 2019 !!A new version of Eau de Toilette,the bottle is still star shaped but it's doesn't need a stand to hold,because the bottle is made like that, it stands alone(if it makes sense) The bottle is soft blue and the juice inside is pale pink. The notes are : top notes: mandarin,peony heart: praline,juicy apple base: patchouli,blond woods I have it ,and OMG,what a fantastic scent,it's much much better than the 2012 version(who think it's too unisex,than this new EDT is nothing like that) the new edt is more fresher and lighter Angel with the typical DNA in it.It's amazing ,sweet and juicy apple mixed with the sweet praline and earthy Angels patchouli.Like HEAVEEEEEEN,soft,sweet,fruity,sexy.Definitely a must have for Angel lovers. If You'r curious about the bottle check out on Instagram: bens_perfumes ( he has it already)

I bought this the day I saw it and I am glad as its already sold out here in every single store. It’s a great summer scent ,fresh , fruity sorbet cocktail , can’t wait to wear it more in the summer on hot days. I do not see any connection to the original , I wish it had more of the original DNA , I smell no relation of any kind. The other complaint I have is that it has a bit too much grapefruit , I wish the mango and the other fruits were more dominant .The grapefruit does fade after some time and I am impressed with the drydown and longevity of the scent. I am also loving the completely new take on it. Fruity fair from last season is still one of my favourites limited additions. This is a close second ! Also love the colours of the star. It truly smells like a fruit cocktail , it has a slight fizz maybe due to the sorbet note.

Delicious, tropical-sweet mango/blackcurrant sorbet. Now, I'm not a fan of the original Angel. I liked the Muse EDT, and Fruity Fair was alright, but Eau Croisière is a little glass star I can get behind. It's nothing complex, but it doesn't need to be. My favourite summer scents have always been the sweet, fruity ones - they're charming and fun, just like the season they're made for! I used to have an Escada perfume in high school that had the same juicy mango note (it was Island Kiss), and I miss it dearly. This version of Angel really brought me back. I actually sprayed it on paper at the store, and put it in a little pouch in my purse so that I could keep smelling every time I opened it. I couldn't stop! It does a great job of reminding me that if I could live off of mango sorbet, I would.

Airport duty-free testers are disgusting--those germs have survived tropics and tundras from all over the world--but this one was well worth the risk. Angel "Cruise" opens loud and proud with delicious fresh mango that lasted the trudge to my gate and through fancy class pre-boarding--I was worried I would be THAT seatmate, who gives everyone in the row a headache with their perfume--but it settled nicely to a few inches off the wrist with pink grapefruit ice by the time I managed to cram my bag into the overhead compartment. Somewhere over Greenland the sorbet gave way to Angel's signature caramel patchouli, without the amber musk that I usually find cloying. It was gone when we landed, and my connection too short to hit the shops for a bottle of my own. Next trip, maybe.

This is a BLAST of tropical, fruity GLORY! However, it's not a mere 'linear' scent; this has serious depth, and you'll be amazed at the dry down- which somehow, still maintains the fruit, but turns just a bit deeper. I get a sense of the slightest musk, alongside MEGA passionfruit, even hours later! This perfume LASTS. I swear, so few do, these days, but this one is a killer! I bought this when it first came out, and I can only hope that any newer produced bottles still deliver the fruity pack and punch that mine does! Also- it's definitely got a wee bit of DNA from the original Angel; it's hard to describe, but if you've had the original, you''ll understand when you smell this!

This perfume is INSANELY delicious. Like a sour tropical cocktail; the mango and sorbet is so intense it's amazing! Patchouli offers a slightly darker, more stable sweetness as a base. I get the tangy, sour, fizzy sharpness of the grapefruit on first spray but this fades quickly on dry down. Praline is there at certain angles giving a very subtle nutty, gourmand nuance. This doesn't smell anything like Angel. It's just a shame that the fragrance only came out as a Toilette, although I understand because of how strong and powerful the notes are, but it just means the longevity isn't brilliant. I genuinely love it and feel so happy and refreshed when I spray it.

Super fruity fun blast for the summer of 2019 - but you could get the same effect with an Escada at half the price. Notes are apparently mango/grapefruit but I swear I could smell a guava/pineapple blend. Anyhow, it's deliciously juicy and smells like gorgeous ripe tropical fruit, or an umbrella drink, or just a fun summer day on the beach. About an hour later, a bit patchouli shows up and three hours in, there's the praline. Bottle is a gorgeous sunset orange in the classic Angel shape. Very nice gift for the young person in your life who is taking their first adult sun destination vacation - will trigger happy memories down the road.

I was blessed by the perfume gods when I found a full 50ml tester for £32. I’ve been thinking about this perfume ever since smelling it at an airport. Yes it smells like the mango body mist from Victoria secret, yes it smells like something escada would make, it’s those kinds of fragrances, but make it mugler. Upon first sniff it just smells like mango with a grapefruit touch, however since it is backed by mugler’s signature patchouli, it smells so much more grounded than a body mist, the longevity is amazing and it definitely smells much more expensive than a regular body mist/escada fragrance.

Head-turner, gorgeous, luxurious, Mugler-all-the-way...yet, clean and fresh?! Oh, and sexy. Yes, this fragrance is brilliantly multifaceted. It has some Angel DNA, yet it's a light, breezy scent. The aroma that goes with an Alaia knit dress, a Balenciaga asymmetrical dress, a Prada silk shift, or Fendi Tuile...it's warm days, summertimes, romance, gentleness, excitement, and friendships. It suits a Caribbean Cruise perfectly.This is fruity in a grown-up, sultry way..no toffee apples or sugared raspberries. It's crisp, sparkling, and easy to feel comfortable with. I can't wait to buy it!

If it doesn't smell like Angel Eau Sucrée, it's made in the same spirit : fun and yummy ! It has a decent sillage, and from a distance it seems like a fresh Escada fragrance, but it's deceptive, get closer and Angel shows up. Very sweet mango, tart grapefruit, and it definitely has some Angel's famous chocolate. With mango and grapefruit, patchouli shows its herbal side and is much easier to wear. If you like mango, get this gorgeous bottle ! Edit : the new Angel Eau de Toilette 2019 is pretty similar to Eau Croisière, same summery fruity vibe on light patchouli and praline.

I love mango fragrances and have been looking for a good one since M. Micallef Royal Mango was discontinued. This perfume is juicy fresh mango with hint of Praline and Black currant in background. Luckily the patchouli isn’t noticeable so no dirty or animalic scent. This projects nicely about 6 feet leaving scent trail for first hour. It lasts 6-8 hours on my dry skin in high desert heat. As long as you don’t overspray it won’t be cloying. I do one spray each wrist to last all day. This was the best blind buy and I bought 2 backups during Black Friday sale! Love it!

This is a really simple and refreshing mango perfume. I couldn't really differenciate the black currant and I don't smell any praline, all I can smell is a less sweet mango -probably due to the grapefruit note- and non-cloying light patchouli. The longevity and sillage are pretty good, and it's a really likeable and uplifting scent, perfect for summer. I bought a small decant of this but I don't think I would buy a full bottle since it's not an interesting perfume. If I can't find anything interesting, this one would be a safe choice though.

Love at first spray! This is my new go to perfume, so easy to wear and I get so many compliments, which says a lot bc no one else in my life really likes perfume. One spray usually does it and I carry a decant in my purse. It's a delicious fruity cocktail, sweet but not sickeningly so. The fruits smell realistic enough to ward off a cloying/immature vibe. More of a day time and summer perfume but I wear it for anything from errands to a night out, and will probably continue to wear it into the winter. All my other perfumes are jealous.
