Angel Eau Sucree 2016

Definitely a gem for me - not a fan of the original Angel. I just love the sweet and cool vibe this projects. Beautiful combination of vanilla, cranberry and patchouli with just a little touch of meringue for the dry down. Very fresh, yet sweet and girly at the same time. Sophisticated, not a candy-like sweetness. Still has the angel DNA, but with a new kick to it. Instant love. Love the frosted bottle too.

Got this as a gift from Pearl Princess! The cranberry is soft and sweet, the vanilla is decadent yet not sickly sweet or powdery (just right) followed by a whisper of patchouli. I love Thierry Mugler's perfumes, this was another hit for me. Another lovely Summer edition, its worth it ^_^

I honestly can smell the original Angel in this perfume, the patchouli is unmistakable. It’s a stronger scent than what I’m used to, but still not as strong as OG Angel like my mom used to wear around me when I was little. The beginning is kind of suffocating, but give it a good 20-30 minutes and it dries down to something a lot more bearable and sweet, which is where it diverges from Angel’s usual heaviness. I wouldn’t spray it on my skin very often but I could mist it in the air and walk through it. Odd comparison, but I remember blind-buying Insurrection II Wild by Rayane (a male fragrance) assuming it would smell like my usual Tobacco Vanille, and I wound up thinking it smelled A LOT like something by Mugler. After sniffing this one, I can say that Eau Sucrée and Insurrection smell VERY similar, the former being more feminine in nature with a more gentle drydown. Overall a good scent, and I think it’s gonna keep growing on me.

I just got and opened it about an hour ago, so the perfume hasn't had enough time to set yet and this is only my first impression. I got this in the hopes that it will be like Angel EDT (the old comet version), but less powdery and more sour-fruity. Unfortunately it isn't. It is less powdery, but it's very creamy and milky instead (probably the meringue), and there isn't as much cranberry as I hoped. For now this is only a "like", it's nice, but I think I prefer Angel EDT and I'll hunt it down (because the comet version is getting pretty hard to find now that it's discontinued). If my opinion changes I'll add another review.

All 4 of the Eau Sucrée flankers are very similar: A nice combo of sweet meringue and sour red berries, with a manageable dose of Angel patchouliness in the background. In my opinion Eau Sucrée 2015 is the most well-balanced and complex one, with 2014, 2016 and 2017 in a shared second place. In 2014 I was excited about the sweet, whipped cream, cotton candy feeling of Eau Sucrée. The following year I was even more excited that they actually perfected all that in Eau Sucrée 2015. 2016 and 2017 was a let down because all we got was more of the same. Bottom line, if you got one of the Sucrées you basically got them all.
