Angel Liqueur de Parfum

This is my second TM fragrance from this month and I just have to give this one review. I have no experience or whatsoever of smelling The original Angel because they didn't have a tester at that specific shop but anyways... Smell:In the initial spray,you get a strong and bitter dark cocoa scent.Its definitely not like biting into a luxury dark chocolate but rather,sniffing a high quality cocoa powder.On my skin,it starts off like that and it smells really green as well like pine or something.And it's boozy a'right.The moment that liquor note hits my nose it made me go "This is very liquor smelling" and it made me go "oh ya"(duh for the word "liqueur").I'm not a liquor connoisseur but you definitely smell the boozy accord.Then you'll be able to smell the dusty patchouli alongside the honey and the dark chocolate which are the most prominent note for me.Under warm climate,the patchouli is amplified but under the cold night,It's the fluffy and delicious gourmand "Angel" that everyone is raving about I assume.It's Dark choco-Patchouli-Honey and the Cognac accord that are the most noticeable notes for me. Longevity:This is very long lasting and I took a shower there's still a faint aroma lingering on my skin afterwards whilst my skin was still warm out of the shower. Sillage-wise:Projects about an arms length or so,or maybe it fills a room.I don't know because I only spritz this one once on the chest area and I'm done. To add:This is a very mature scent but screw it.I'm 19 and this scent makes me feel like I'm floating on air.Also,Like TdO's Jasmin Di Giava (which is said to be a dupe for Angel)It makes me fall asleep.

This is very similar to the original Angel EDP, but of course not quite the same. The opening is the most difficult, polarizing part of the fragrance. Like the original it's very strong on the patchouli and has a dirty, sweaty note that makes me wonder if I made the right decision every time shortly after I sprayed it. But this already starts a little softer (not weaker!) and rounder than Angel EDP and dries down quicker. And then it's so heavenly! It's even more gourmand than the original, with more chocolate and a touch of booze. Even though it's called "Liqueur de Parfum" I don't find the cognac note too intense here, it's really more of a hint. The fruity notes and musk from the original are towned down, the cotton candy, honey and patchouli are still going strong. This evokes walking over a fair or a Christmas market in the snow, with the crisp cool air and the smell of roasted almonds and candied fruit around you. I really think the silver star bottle is a perfect fit for this version of Angel. It's sparkling, but never sour, and just so delectable. If you hate Angel, you won't love this. If you feel like you can't pull off the original, but wish you could, this is the closest you can get. It's much more Angel-like than for example Angel Muse (which I also adore) or any summer edition. I got my bottle from ebay and I still see some from time to time, just get one as long as the prices aren't going through the roof.

Well, here I am eating my hat. My previous review is relevant as a first impression, but not much as a more in-depth review. A few days and attempts later, as the air has started to flow into the bottle and allow for the beautiful settling down of the scent to gradually take place, I'm starting to notice that the drydown is different to the OG Angel. It's much more honeyed, almost like JPG's Scandal. It's absolutely gorgeous! The opening is still the very recognizable naughty and dirty OG Angel, but as things are looking and I'm learning to decipher the nuances of this piece, I believe it will eventually transform as well. The OG base is there, but it's in a much more luxurious coat. As we say in my native language: "It's the same lady, but in a different dress". This is everything the OG should be: masterfully balanced, not as overpowering and suffocating, beautiful soft drydown that is still dominant enough. Memorable and unmistakably elegant. Definitely superior to the OG. I like the OG enough but I'm not bananas over it, or at least I wouldn't repurchase it anymore, but this version is definitely repurchase-worthy. The drydown makes all the difference and is truly worth anticipating. This turned from a "meh" to a passionate love story.

I wanted in my collection an Angel, that doesn't smell like the Angel, so I wanted a perfume with that longevity, projection and sweetness that the original Angel is famous for, but without the annoying patchouli. A few people mentioned in their reviews that patchouli in this particular blend is tolerable, so I decided for a blind buy. The first try in the nook of my arm was a disaster: the opening was great, but after about an hour I could smell only dead, fermented leaves – that's how patchouli smells on my skin. Luckily, it turns out that sprayed on my wrists and neck this blend smells totally different. The name "liqueur" is very fitting, because the booziness of cognac is definitely there, mixed with honey and chocolate known from the original composition, as well as the scent of tropical fruits, which was a very nice and a bit unexpected surprise. The longevity is still as great as ever, solid 10+ hours, but the sillage is not as suffocating as the original Angel can be. I'm very pleased with this scent and like it more and more with every spray. Since it's a rarity now, I would say: blind buy it, if you like the notes, you won't regret it!

Where do I start with this one? I may have finally found 'my' angel! Angel Liqueur is a complex, delicious gourmand - with almost zero sweetness. The cotton candy and crazy over-the-top berry vibe I got from the drydown of Angel seems to be gone! This is deep, rich, velvety - the spotlight here is on caramel, chocolate (similar to Angel TOF), & intense honey - in that order! Sitting on top of the infamous Thierry Mugler patchouli base, of course! The overall "feel" of this flanker is velvety smoothness. The addition of cognac adds a much more dry and flat feel to Angel, with a touch of booziness, and once half of those unnecessary floral/green/citric notes were removed from Angel EDP, there is so much more flow to this concept. Luckily - the strength and intensity wasn't edited out of this one! SUPER long lasting, one spray will do ya. So, TL;DR - Angel EDP Comparison: this flanker is 1. Smoother, much less SHARP patchouli. 2. Deeper, and less painfully sweet. 3. Complex, but much less of a jumble. Big love!

I was very curious to try it and did my best to hunt it down. I like Angel and have some very good memories associated with it, but I really wanted a deeper, thicker version of it. Now that I have it, I am baffled. Where is the liquor? Where is the smokey, boozy vibe everybody's talking about? I have the 2013 for sure, it says so on the box. I already own the original Angel EDP (and not even an older formulation) so I can compare them, and I swear they literally smell the same. Either my nose is not trained enough and I can't tell the difference because I'm a noob, or this is a very good marketing tactic. This is not bad by all means, but this is not worth hunting down and paying ridiculous prices for. The average person, which is most of us, will probably not be able to tell the difference. Just buy the OG Angel.

Absolutely addictive. I have the older version and like it as well but this new angel liqueur is out of this world. I didn't bother getting it for all these months because I thought its the same as the older version of liquer. Oh i was wrong. As much as I like the previous , this one is smother and nicer. So pretty and sweet and warm, no harsh edges just liquid sweet pleasure. My whole family gives the thumbs up for this one. Smells of chocolate and treats , vanilla and honey and cognac, cherries and melon and all the good stuff in the world :) Angel is a paradox perfume and you do not need to like nor love it in order to like its Flankers. Yes they remind of the original but are , in my opinion , nicer and more wearable. Also try SUCRE, the new summer flancer. It's amazing !

I recieved my bottle of this today. This has go to be what angels in heaven smell like!! This is the most beautiful fragrance I have ever smelled!! This is a creamier version softer somehow. And the patchouli is quite prominate on my skin as well as the chocolate and honey.The drydown is as amazing as the opening notes. Smells like a dream!! I really hope they keep this one around. Its rather expensive but worth it!! Also a small bottle 1.1 oz. I guess ill just have to get myself another bottle or two. The bottle is also georgeous. The longevity and siliage are excellent I do want to be noticed and this is definately one to get that particular job done!! But its not overpoweing just a beautiful scent that leaves a lovely trail. I LOVE IT!!!! recommend it highly

I'm happy to report Angel has returned to my collection after a 7 year hiatus. My previous bottle was prior to the 2010 reformulation. I still love Angel, but the difference in longevity is massive, and there are also some differences in scent. I had watched a review of the 2009 version of this by Ouch110, in which he mentions Angel Liqueur de Parfum is a closer version of the original. I haven't smelled the 2009, but I must concur; my 2013 silver Angel Liqueur de Parfum is almost how I remember the original Angel. I'm so happy I included this flanker in my Angel shopping list. This little bottle is a tour de force! If I love Angel, I certainly LOOOOVE Angel Liqueur de Parfum! EDIT: I bought 6 more of these little scent grenades. Completely worth it!

So this perfume has two different notes than the original Angel, which are Cognac and Tropical Fruits and it misses all these notes that they weren't that apparent at the original Angel anyway (such as the citruces). The outcome? For me at least at my skin and from what my nose is perceiving is the same. I am an Angel lover and Angel is my favorite perfume of all the times. I was very excited and blind bought this just to find out that it is almost identical. No booze-ness for me, no extra cherries. I really believe that if you don't like the original Angel, you won't like this flanker cause there is no much difference. The patchouli is there, vanilla is there, the huge sillage is there and longevity that goes on and on...

You sneeky Angel flanker... This one opens with Angel, the patchouli dialed down but not out, in its lineup a boozy cherry cognac and tropical pineapple and fruits. Chocolate,honeyed plums, coconut and faint orchid floral note with tonka enriching the base. This is a rich angel that got boozed up on a tropical island.After the angel opening it morphs into Just Me by Claude Montana (1997) minus the leather and richer. This is very fun for an angel enthusiast or someone that appreciates a melange of different notes combining into something extraordinary. What a fun trip Angel 2013 Liquer provides.. yum....shame the silver bottle is so small...

Having tried the 'Taste of' and loved that, I wish I had got another bottle of that instead as I love that the most, having said that, this is nice for a change. I definitely get much less patchouli from this flanker & the dry down is almost pure honey on me....with a slight off note that my husband says is in my head, he likes it. Not sure what the off note is, don't get it with the original or taste of. If you like honey you will love this. A nice autumnal/winter perfume - not for a summers day! Another edit....the slight off note disappears after a few hours when this smells its best, a boozy, fruity coconuty warm concoction!

As I begin writing this review, I try to restrain my instinct to reach for superlatives, aiming to remain measured and precise. And yet—this fragrance is truly beautiful. Beautiful in the way of classics that are becoming increasingly rare. A thoughtfully conceived and well-executed composition, strongly rooted in the DNA of the original Angel, yet enriched with notes of real chocolate, honey, and gently softened by fruits. It feels slightly more refined, while remaining irresistibly sensual, with a strong sillage and all-day presence. The bottle is a work of art—nothing less. A discontinued treasure.

For once the bottle looks better in person! Very very pale blue rather than solid silver metallic (I defo have 2013 edition). Looks great with light behind it! Recently acquired taste of fragrance and so happy to find this online! Less patchouli, softer sillage and staying power (tho still long lasting and strong). Reminds me of the smell of Christmas cake mixture - dried fruits and brandy/cherry. Still angel but to a connoisseur, enough of a difference to justify adding the a collection! This angel has been on the festive spirits!!!

Much like the original Angel, but with the tiniest hint of a Shalimar vibe. The bottle looks like it could be used as a weapon, but that's not what matters. The juice inside is perfectly blended. The cognac adds a frankincense and myrrh aspect, making this one of the richest smelling fragrances I've ever encountered. Having been aged in cherry wood probably adds to the richness. As with most Mugler fragrances, one or two sprays is plenty and lasts all day and into the night. My favorite Angel flanker, by far.

Not really a fan of Angel but I am a fan of this. Got the liqueur limited edition at Bloomingdales when it first came out over a decade ago. The lady that sold it to me said it has bourbon as an additional ingredient, not cognac as listed here, and I agree with her. Best way to describe this scent is rich dusty cacao, a deep boozy bourbon and white floral baby powder. It's very unique and not a safe blind buy. Smell: 9 out of 10 Strength: 8 out of 10 More feminine For reference, I'm female.

I was complemented right on while wearing this today, but since I masked it up with A*Men Pure Tonka I don't exactly know which one exactly the lady referred as "lovely" I want to believe the mixture of both got to her sense of smell. Anyhow, I do love to wear it, since it belongs to all the Angels nature male or female. Basically all are gender neutral. ;-) I thought I was going to be a walking candy today wearing both but it was a great combination. Loving it.

Cherry, drizzled in honey....lingering in a gentle cloud of cocoa powder. That's what I get in the opening which lingers for about an hour. Maintains a strong, true to angel scent, softens without losing its heart of sweet chocolatey goodness. Sillage is perfect, longevity is good and I love that it quiets down enough to need to sniff my arm. Cherry note takes a back seat to let the real Angel come forward. This is good!

I love the original Angel but I love this even more! I found this back in 2016 at Marshall's for $29 and this is just delicious smelling!!!! I love how its similar to Angel but has its own uniqueness. On me its mainly chocolate with hints of honey,caramel and cognac and very faint patchouli. Longevity on me is a whole 24hrs and sillage is moderate.

On me, this 2013 version smells almost the same with the 2009 version of Liqueur de Parfum, perfomance-wise they're also quite close. A much more rounded concoction of boozy cognac, deep caramel and honey, with a less aggressive patchouli. Very beautiful.
