Angel Garden Of Stars - Violette Angel

When the Original Angel came out, I got a sample at Neiman's when I went to purchase my signature fragrance Fracas. This was just as online sales became available but I was still buying in stores. When I first tried Angel, I thought it was beautiful! I made that tiny vial last a long time. I found a few Angel perfumes at Marshall's, Anel Innocent Illusion, the fruity one and Angel Lily in a large splash decanter for dirt cheap. When you see these at Marshall's, you know they're being discontinued. I finally found a Resoureable Star of Angel at Kmart. I was thrilled! After wearing it for a while, I noticed an offensive odor like an armpit. Angel Innocent is beautiful with no stinking scent. Years later reading reviews of original Angel here on Fragrantica, I saw others noticed the stinky armpit too. I haven't worn it in years. A few years ago I found the Peony Angel and the Violette Angel in large splash on decanters and purchased them. Both are lovely! My favorite is the Violette Angel Garden Of The Gods collection. It has the Angel with beautiful Violet note, it's beautiful! I love Violet centered perfumes and this is one of the nicest ones in my collection. It's a little powdery and you don't need much. Stays on forever. I found another Violette Angel in case I go through this bottle. I've got quite a few Thierry Mugler perfumes but am becoming tired of anymore. I've never tired of my Fracas and have been hunting down classic, vintage perfumes from the 40's and 50's. I'm especially intrigued with the creator Germaine Collier who created Fracas and Bandit both by Michael Piquet. I just ordered a Vintage bottle of Jolie Madame by Pierre Balmain created by Germaine Cellier and can't wait for it to arrive. If you're able to find Violette Angel, get it. It smells elegant and vintage.

IM a big TM fan , but the original Angel is the least favorite TM fume of mine. ITs just too chocolate , too sweet , too something i cant put my finger on - but i know i dont like it ! I got Violette Angel as a sample vial in my local freindly shop this friday ( I had a date on the same eve) . I had a tiny sniff when i got home , WOW - LOVED IT from the first violet blast of powdery sweetness! I decided to forgo my usual Signature Scent of Alien , and use the tester vial for the evening out instead. A bit of a risk seen as id not yet given it a full "Test run " !! I made the right decision Now usually I'm a heavy sprayer ... and a test vial is nowhere near enough for a full eve usually ...But with this it definitely WAS enough ! A Little goes a long way with this one. Me n my Beau could smell it all eve ( he loved it too!) , I could also still smell the dry down of it the next day - So 10/10 for longevity. I also got plenty of "you smell great , what fume is it ?" type comments from other ladies :) A beautiful scent if your not a fan of the original Angel and love Violet . The violet note is strong , but i liked that. 9/10 - I will definitely be buying a full size bottle of this ( IM praying now it hasn't been discontinued like most of the scents i like!) The scent is such good quality you really only do need a little spray ! I still had a little bit of the tester left the next eve , which i layered on top of my TM Alien - That made a heady and intoxicating mix which i will also be doing again MUst try some of the other Violet fumes ive discovered on this site ASAP :)

I couldn't really imagine how an added violet note would work with Angel, but know that I tried this, I think it works pretty well. This smells like a genetically enhanced violet in an enchanted forest. It's loud, syrupy and much less powdery than the average violet. Like candied violets, but with a lush and humid texture. The hyacinth emphasizes the dewy and green aspects of the flower, but doesn't really stand out. Which is a good thing in my book, as hyacinth can be quite bold, bordering screechy, and this scent already has enough going on without that. Underneath the violet lies a lot of Angel's signature earthy-dirty patchouli, which is especially characteristic in the opening. There are definitely some gourmand notes, too, but this is only vanillic and chocolatey, without the sticky honey and cotton candy notes of the original. Instead of those it has dry woody notes, so the overall image I get is a carpet of unnaturally sweet violets deep in the woods between old trees, wet earth and moss. A dreamy, whimsical and slightly dark scent. Like most of the flankers this is a little less polarizing than Angel, the dirtiness of the patchouli and the sweetness are toned down. It's still a very intense, projecting and long-lasting scent though, and also quite unique. I'm thankful I had the chance to sample this. It's definitely worth a try for anyone who likes Angel or darker violet perfumes. Too bad it's so hard to find and Mugler doesn't make those beautiful flanker collections like The Garden of Stars anymore.

Angel Violette opens with Angel's signature patchouli + vanilla/sugar combo. I initially worried about the sugar being watery sweet. Luckily it's smoothened by vanilla. However, the patchouli seems a little bit sharper compared to the other three Garden Stars, but still, it's been toned down a lot compared to the original. And as usual, the patch + sweetness combo smells like chocolate. Violette doesn't evolve dramatically. The Angel base is softened by violet leaf, hiacynth and violet but none of them is distinctive enough. After 1 or 2 hours later, like sofiii mentioned, the scent did remind me of the cherry + licorice combo in Jesus del Pozo in Black. It turns into a skin scent after about 5 hours. The vanilla and sugar mellow while herbal notes become more prominent. It lasts about 8 hours in total and the sillage is relatively soft. Violette is indeed Angel but softened by violet. However, if you're looking for an unusual violet prominent fragrance, I might not recommend it as first choice. EDIT: After wearing it a few times, I can now discern the peppery violet leaf and the spicy and powdery violet. The violet combined with the patchouli also gives me a discreet dried plum like note. But overall, it's still like looking at Angel through a violet veil, as the violet mingles meticulously with the other notes in Angel Violette.

I have been falling in love with Angel Violette. It took a while, as the contrast between its dainty topnotes and dark base can be jarring at first spray. Violette retains Angel's heavier base, with a large dose of slightly masculine patchouli and spicy, musk nuances. As with Angel, this musky tone can get a tad cumin-y, but it is somehow pleasant and totally unlike the stank of unwashed pits (for those of you concerned). Violette is unambiguously feminine, unlike the original Angel, which I feel is more unisex. AV achieves this by nearly smothering the patch and vanilla with delectable sweetness that mimics drinking sugar water, then layers dewy, silky, un-powdery violets on top. The violets here are unlike those in many other perfumes as they never seem to feel weak, dated, or dusty and the sweetness of their floral tones melds seamlessly with the sugared earthiness of the rest of the scent. The drydown reveals a stable and linear sweet, floral, earthy scent that is undeniably an Angel derivative but maintains a feminine impression. My bottle has aged, and the purple liquid has turned a dark amber-brown color. However, the crystalline clear glass and purple Angel Star topper are a bright as ever. I think this contrast fits the scent much better than an overall dainty violet wash. Very cozy with a fanciful edge.

This is perhaps the best of the garden of stars (jardin l'etoile) series by Mugler, creamy sweet, patchouli bomb violet that is out of this world, this garden flower is definitely star struck. I have 2 bottles in climate controlled storage, it's now time to put one into my every day rotation, shelf life is nearing useful limits I feel, the juice has turned slightly greenish with a purple tint, will be great for the upcoming winter, keeping these vintage treasures cool is paramount, I have hundreds of vintage and many from the early 2000's with another couple of Mugler's from the miroir miroir series, they need to be used as well, so much fragrance, too little time... I loooooove patchouli essential oil so this suits me just fine, one more very vintage violet I adore is *Violette* by Le Galion, almost impossible to find now & lost to the ether forever I also have the rose & pivoine (peony) versions, the rose is quite heavy too, lots of Turkish absolute here, in fact utterly gorgeous, the peony on the other hand is lovely although much lighter than the other two & is my least favorite...These fragrances were very well composed

ohh boy do i love this beauty . I knew i neaded to revisit this lovely bottle of Violett Angel when i started to get the feal for Violetts again and boy has my taste changed , At first years ago i could not wrapp my head around this one at all.It was just weard and unplesent to me. But now i am in love , The violet and Patchouli in this goes so perfectly hand in hand making me think of a walk in the forest , with a slight breeze from the salty ocean near by ,The oakmoss is here to in such a beautiful way, woods and suggerd Violetts and Hyacints lifing up this beauty aswell to make it always fairy like , This is not so much adout the darkness of the original Angel . Infact there is little reminding me of Angel at all. This is more similar to T M Eau de star IMO , This one is long lasting and flotes around you like a vail for a good 6-8 hours .I love it to bits nead another bottle for shure . ( so if you have a backup and thinking of getting wridd of me let me know :)..) Realy lovely earthy Violetts Thumbs up from me

The reviewer below me did what i did! this was my mums signature fragrance back when it was around. i searched everywhere for a full size bottle but no luck, and any that i did find were ridiculously expensive. So i went on ebay and bought 20 x 1.5 ml samples for £8.99! now i have 30 mls of an old discontinued favourite. i do not give a hoot about having the fancy bottle. the beauty is purely in the fragrance. when you smell it you get a whiff of fresh green violet leaves and a sweet trail of crushed sugar, smokey patchouli and of course, the powdery violets <3 Silage: Not enormous as when I first wore it, the few bottles left in circulation today are old so the silage is a bit lower than before. However it is noticeable when you walk past people! Lasting power: 6-8 hours, lasts forever on clothes! Season: I wear this in the spring and summer months. It makes me feel like I'm in a forbidden forest surrounded by the sounds of chirping birds and insects.

I managed to find two 1ml samples and have been using them these past few days. It's cold and windy where I am right now, and this fragrance works perfectly well in these conditions. Longevity and projection are old Mugler level (read: nuclear). As for the scent itself, I can definitely feel Angel in the base, but it's way less dirty and way less sweet. I'm surprised no one mentioned the soapiness in here! In fact, I would categorize this one as "floral, soapy Angel". Is it a must-have? Not for me, but I'm definitely enjoying the samples I got. However, I will not be going out of my way to hunt down a full bottle. I love the OG and it's enough for me to have it. Edit: I absolutely went out of my way to hunt down a bottle. When I ran out of my sample I realized I couldn't live without it anymore. It's a masterpiece!

On my skin, just like in classic Angel EDP, wet, brackish patchouli clearly dominates vanilla. Therefore Violet Angel doesn't smell like candy or cookies. It has more floral than confectionery notes. The opening is very sweet and powdery, but from the first moments, it also clearly smells like fresh violet flowers with their velvety, fragrant petals and mossy, dark, succulent leaves, growing hidden from the rays of the sun in a moist thicket. It also smells wet, like humid soil that nourished these charming, modest flowers – it's the note of patchouli, which is so characteristic of the whole 'Angel's family.' Violet Angel does not evolve distinctly, nor does it develop surprisingly. And when it "settles down" on the skin, it offers many hours of delicate, pleasant sweet scent of violets.

THis is a long cool drink of water on a hot,humid day.There arent many that fit this description!I hate angel but,I love this.Violets are such small flowers but they contain alot of fragrance.This is soft but,not too soft.And,it lasts! I use to grow violets on my window sill.I was greeted by their beauty and sweet scent every morning.When i wanted to root one for another plant,I would pinch one of the leaves off and put it into water.That leaf scent is all on its own,wonderful.That leafy smell cuts down on the honeyd sweetness.When after a few weeks the roots would appear,they had a oakmossy,patchouli woody scent .Its in heretoo!I dont smell so much the vanilla but thats ok.Ill just let all the glorius violets overtake me and transport me to that mythical garden.

This is the one of the series that I will actually pay to buy it, because to me it doesn't smell like the original Angel. Even the opening is not same. I love the original Angel, but I don't want a flanker to smell so similar to the original that you won't be able to tell the difference. Having said that, this one smells mostly of violets, candy and the vanilla-patchouli combination which is so distinct to Angel, along with some wood notes. Good longevity but I have a feeling that the sillage is moderate. Definitely not Angel levels. I can say that if someone likes sensual violets, even if s/he doesn't like Angel, s/he should give a chance to this one, since it is not that ''Αngelish''.

Gorgeous! Angel toned waaaayyyy down with the addition of violets. This has such a vintage quality and I love only having the miniature because I don't have to spray it. I have to use my finger, tip the tiny bottle (which is beautiful & has the same tall cut glass (looking) stopper as the regular sized beautiful bottles do) and then dab my pulse points with the perfume. I like to invision my grandmother having applied her perfume in this way. The violets are still sugar coated, but powdery, soft, soothing and indulgent. Chowards confection company makes a Violet Chewing gum and it reminds me of this perfume. Sweet, floral, innocent & simply pretty. Cheers!

I was extremely sceptical as I have never been a big fan of violets, I thought, what the heck, it was long time ago, my taste might have changed so I gave it a try...just to fall in love with it :-) It is velvety sweet, different than any other violet based perfume, it is delicious at first but after half an hour it becomes really violetty :-) romantic and nostalgic...like walking down the meadow on a sunny warm day... That perfume is like the most beautiful organza shawl worn on an evening night out... Gorgeous! 12 hours lasting power makes it my favourite - the quality you'd expect from Mugler :-)

This starts off really nice, then is nice except for a sharp note which is a bit weird, then when you try to wash it off, what you are left with is divine. However I suspect that the smell of washed-off perfume wasn't what Thierry Mugler was aiming for so I'd better accept that it's not for me. If a perfume is sweet I want it to stay sweet, not go off on a bitter tangent. You never know til you try though so glad I tried it anyway. Edit: I humbly apologise to Mr Mugler. I have submitted an updated review recently. I LOVE this now.

The garden of stars is my favorite series of the older Thierry Mugler collection, when Mugler was still Thierry Mugler and Violette is my favorite of them all. That says a lot because I have an unhealthy collection of Muglers. Undeniably sexy and innocent at the same time⁠. A perfume for deep dark desires and sexy moods. Mugler performace, lasts all day and night. The best of the best for me. Very hard to find, but 100% worth it in my book. They don't make them like this anymore.

Candied violets so whimsically placed on top of a vanilla cake, meant to be placed outside at dusk in a woodland area for faries to come from their hiding places and eat this treat using violet leaves as a plate and clinking glasses filled with patchouli nectar. This is a celebration of youth, joy, and light hearted magic, all captivated inside this bottle. I love this more than the angel toilette and hope that there will be a re launch similar to the garden of stars someday.

The original angel was and always will be, my most beloved perfume of all time. Unfortunately, due to ridiculous people dousing themselves in it, they have succeeded in annihilating a classic genius scent and creating the monster that it has become. Violetta Angel is stupendously beautiful. This is Angel without attitude, all wrapped up in beautiful violet. The drydown is heaven in a bottle. This fragrance lingers for hours on end and has that famous Mugler wonderful silage.

Prozac in a bottle. I was feeling really down this morning, and most of my scents aren't of the true "pick-me-up" variety, but today I needed that more than anything. Sugary violets on top of Angel's deeply sweet chocolate/candy-ness combined with refreshing patchouli was like an instant anti-depressant. Coupled with a red bull and cuddles from my boyfriend and fluffy Maine Coon and I'm feeling almost ok. I love you, Thierry Mugler <3

What a masterpiece. The original Angel scent was silented down, and added candied violets with some praline scent. With some elegant smooth aure in it. Unusual, got it own characteristic something, interesting. For autumn, early spring, day or evening. Some people questioninh it's sillage or longevity. Well it's pretty damn good, 8 plus hours it is on. That is really nothing to be complaining about.

This is my second review for this perfume. I have an apology to make to Mr. Mugler. I'm sorry for doubting this. I didn't give it chance to dry down before I washed it off last time and now I am smitten. I love love love the Violet and chocolatey note and the woodsy, muskiness of it. It has been propelled to my top five. It is classy, sweet, powdery, comforting, and beautiful.

If you love violets this will knock your socks off!! I remember when I first smelled it I was totally blown away by it! I'd never tried anything like it before. Like the other Garden of Stars fragrances, it is VERY long lasting. This one is very sugary/violet, but if you love going into overdrive with your scents, then you must try it. Never do things by half measure I say!

The subtlest flower from the Angel garden. The violet here is ethereally green, its petals dusted with sugar, subtly harmonizing with the notes characteristic of classic Angel. The effect is romantic, feminine, and spring-like. Longevity and sillage are moderate, though testing a vintage sample may reveal some variations. The flacon is absolutely stunning!

I am obsessed about this one!!! So unlike anything else I've ever worn..I can smell the violets with the classic Angel formula in it..It's warm and sexy, the base notes stay and stay in your pores after many hours..I love to still be able to smell it in my pores while showering at the end of the day and spraying it on my sheets before bed is heavenly!

I bought several sample vials from an eBay seller in 2014- all I could afford at the time. I’m down to 5 vials and I treat them like my profile photo- my preciousssss! Wearing in tribute to the passing of the mighty Mr. Mugler who is a artistic genius and I’m grateful for his epic creations. This is the by far snazziest of any Angel flanker btw.

Having snatched up even more bottles of this for the apocalypse bunker- I can confidently say it’s one of my all time faves and the best value out there. It goes hard for almost 24 hours. It’s complex and dries down in a symphonic manner. It’s as good as Angel but it’s own thing.

This was my signature scent until it got discontinued. Chocolate truffles decorated with honey glazed violets - what more can you ask for ? I’m so bummed it got discontinued l won’t even bother ordering it online as overpriced samples. Such a shame. Such a wonderful scent.

First spray way to potent , with in minutes settles into a powdery Violet that is rather un-remarkable. Powder is of talcum type scent not baby powder . After a few hours all the powder disappeared & it became a lovely soft Violet scent that I really like .

Got my 25ml bottle ( new and sealed) off eBay today .......Oh how i love eBay for discontinued perfumes !! Wonderful, gorgeous bottle that has taken pride of place on my dressing table..........cant stop sniffing my wrist . Just lovely.

I love all the Angel garden of stars and this is no exception. I scored a few mini bottles for a reasonable price some 10 years ago and still love it. Probably not a work scent, but sexy and beautiful. The violet note makes it unique

My all time favourite perfume and the most perfect floral scent that exists to my nose My signature scent for as long as I continue to find it as its so incredibly difficult to source since its been off the shelves for nine years now

i was really shocked that i liked this perfume coz i really hate angel its become one of my favorite perfumes ive learnt to try different versions of perfumes even if i dont like the orginal perfume:-)

Perfect violet! The name, Garden of stars - Violette describing perfectly for its scent! I love it, not the kind scent that I had already :) and I don't see the relativity, similarity, with other also.

I want to add that I finally know what word comes to mind when I smell this beauty: melancholy. This smells melancholic. Like longing for someone who you know doesn't feel the same way and never will.

Wow! A big, blowsy violet in full bloom - no dewy creature this and therefore not for the faint-hearted. Knocks your socks off, as you would expect. Thoroughly purple. Love it!

I just received this in a mini and what a lovely surprise! Sweet violet candies over that familiar Angel patchouli base. I love this!

hmm the better version of angel indeed! great lasting power indeed, love it perfect 10, its suiteable for warmer weather too!

My favourite from the range, angel with a fizzy opening of sweet violet...I have finally found an angel I love!

ooohh i need this again :-( it's perfect,sweet and longlasting, pls pm me if you have a unwanted bottle ;-)

me? obsessed with any mugler? yes!!

I own Angel, but my husband hates it and has it hidden in storage somewhere, hahaha! I saw the reviews for this and I love violet and powdery scents, found a great deal and had to buy this. I love the opening! Most sugar sweet scents don't come across as too sweet on me, and this is the case with Violette Angel. It is not a punch in the nose like regular Angel is. I can smell the hyacinth very strong in the top notes for the first 15 mins or so. Oddly enough, though, is that I can smell the violets when my nose is close to my wrist after the opening notes but the scent in the air around me is of the original Angel, only subdued. I imagine it's the patchouli, it's a very distinct and different from any patchouli I've detected in any other perfume. I had it on my wrists when I was around my husband and he didn't make comment, so I'm guessing he didn't detect anything, yay! It's been about 3 hours that it's been on me and the violets have faded away, along with most of the patchouli and I can detect a spicy vanilla. Once he goes to work, I'm going to give it a full tryout and not just a few drops on my wrist and come back and update my findings. Stay tuned..... I just hope my husband doesn't mind this perfume or I'll have to only enjoy it when he is not around! UPDATE: I tried a little on my wrists the other night around my husband and son. My son said it's ok, but wow did I hear about it the next morning from my husband about how awful he thinks it is! Bummer that I'll only be able to wear it when he is not around :(

Violette stands out from the rather bland and boring Pivoine and Lys, and sweet and well-behaved Rose in the Garden set of Angel's flankers. This one is for a bold, a bit brusque and uncompromising woman who says: "take it or leave it and don't waste my time". In a black leather jacket, she burns tires with loud roaring when driving off from the underground parking lot on her motorbike. All this imagery is a result of the rubbery and gasoline effect the distinctive violets (both as flower and leaf) give off. By no means is this unpleasant - treated with a huge dose of sugar (luckily not syrupy and sickly sweet) and vanilla the concoction is quite intriguing to the senses, even though the synthetic vibe may show up every now and again. Then comes the patchouli (not enough for me, though) and the story ends after 6 hours, which is not bad at all for a flanker. I wouldn't say it is very Angel-like in the drydown (Rose version does it better), but the impression of "naughtiness" is very much in line with what I get from the original perfume. Definitely a nice option for those who can't wear Angel EDP or EDT, but look for a statement fragrance, with a dark aura, but lesser longevity and sillage.

After buying and loving angel la rose,I had to try other perfumes of garden of stars collection so when I found a 5ml mini of angel violette I grabbed it I didn't know what to expect from the notes,violet can make me sad in non-sweet perfumes,angel's sharp,dirty patchouli has a sad,dark vibe too When I dab it on my skin,first I can detect fresh,powdery florals,violet leaf and hyacinth then violet is added but it's sugary violets and oh boy,I adore candied violets,then I can get angel's gene,it's patchouli But wrapped in vanilla and softened by it,more like a chocolate with green,woodsy undertone and I can feel no dirtyness here,I really like this one,not as much as I love angel rose,still I find it very pleasant,a great fall scent,sweet and powdery and elegant,longevity and sillage are very good,ofcourse less than angel.I just dabbed some and I can catch whiffs of it,great If you like sweet but sophisticated sugary violet scents,give it a try ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

I purchased this as a blindbuy from someone off of eBay, and I'm so glad that I did. This is a really pretty scent, that I believe can be worn all year round. I get the original Angel DNA in the opening, but that doesn't last long. It transitions in to a soft slightly powdery violet, that is slightly sweet, but also slightly green (I'm guessing that is the violet leaf?) and earthy. Aside from the opening, this does not remind me of Angel. The longevity on this is fantastic. It doesn't have the projection that the original Angel has, which I think some will really appreciate, as many people feel that Angel is too strong. I noted that some reviewers got a BO note with this one..I don't get that at all on my skin, thankfully. I have a decent size fragrance collection (50-60 bottles), and I don't have anything like this- it's very unique. I haven't tried any of the others from the Garden Collection, but I'd really like to.

Violette Angel is built on candied violet, powdery floral sweetness and airy pastel tones. Given my core Mugler's are cosmic, molten, resinous protagonists, I wasn't sure if I would enjoy Violette Angel at all. It's funny how some fragrances teach you a lesson on how your skin chemistry behaves. My skin warmed up the florals, deepened the sweetness, muted the powder and added a soft resinous undertone. So instead of smelling like a pastel violet candy, it becomes a soft, warm, wearable, violet-tinted Angel. I can imagine wearing this on warm spring afternoons when the air is mild and skin warms it just enough to mute the powder and turn the violet into something creamy and sweet. Unlike my core Mugler's, I don't love this and I don't need it, but Violette is genuinely pleasant. My favourite of the Garden of Stars collection.

This smells nothing like the original Angel first and foremost. There is 0% of that cloying patchouli DNA. Instead this is replaced by a candied violet reminiscent of sweet tarts. There's a fruity kool-aid smell that is somehow juicier and fresher than the berry note I've gotten from other Angel releases. It's very pretty, but not what I would expect from Mugler by any means. The sillage is good at first, but dies down shortly after. It's got good lasting power like a Mugler so there's that. I don't think that this smells unique enough for me to desire a full bottle. If this weren't released under the Mugler name and instead by Escada or a celebrity no one would even bat an eye. It's very pretty and pleasant, don't get me wrong. But unique or even angelic, it is not.

A merely recognisable Angel here. Allready from the beginning it has this sweet greenish note which my nose interpetates as 'fruity'. Later on it's quite woody and sweet actually, but in controversion to Angel le Lys, the whole Angel-charactre is completely gone. That is not a bat thing, but I don't think it really fits as a flanker of Angel. It actually lacks a bit orginality too... Still it's nice, and being a sweet and not to quiet fragrance it could easily be worn to an evening at the bar or club.

Yes, sweet at first application but that mellows. I personally do get a resemblence to the original Angel but less sweet and overpowering. I do enjoy violets and it takes a few minutes or so for the greeness of the violet leaves to come out which is welcome. I think this fragrance is great for a cold day. Of course, good sillage and longevity. I like but probably not enough to purchase but I'd wear if gifted.

Tested it on my hand yesterday, and on my hand it first smelled ok,then it started to smell like pure sweat, it was so awful!!!!!!!!!! Today i am testing it on my throat,ready to run to the shower if it starts to smell sweat. What an odd scent i must say. Edit: Have tested it again on the hand, and still it smells like sweat there. On my throat it smells ok,a bit sweet. Lucky for me it is just a sample.

WOW! Fresh, sweet and green. Smells like parma violets (the sweets)! Violet, lily and fresh green violet leaf stand out. These sit on traces of the trademark patchouli and vanilla. I'm really starting to love this 'garden of stars' collection, it is a shame it's discontinued! However, I got 30ml of sample sprays for less than £10! Long lasting and projects moderately/heavily! #winning
