Angel Muse Eau de Toilette

Honestly I really like this one. I blind bought this and at first sniff I was expecting it to be more chocolate smelling, but I realize now that's the magic of Mugler. It has to be a little bit weird and different to everything else to the point that you can't compare it to anything else from another brand. If you buy this expecting the classic traditional chocolate smelling, think about it again before buying. It's not. I was expecting this BUT I knew it could be different of what I was expecting. I really felt attracted to the notes and everything about this perfume. I really enjoy Aura and Alien, although they're not my favorite perfumes at all, but I really appreciate them and admire this kind of outstanding creations. I have to say that I didn't try the Angel Muse EDP, but I HATE ANGEL original EDP. This one is waaaay less complex than the Angel EDP, but you can get the same DNA very toned down with less notes. The Angel original EDP smells to me like odor - weeks without getting a shower - very strong mixture of weird and the worst blended/balanced notes in the history... A TOTAL MESS, but this Angel Muse EDT smells like green artificial forest or mowed humid grass (as someone said before), passion fruit (if you're like me, you smell some fruitish smell but wouldn't guess which one, just a tropical or similar one in a very artificial way), and patchouli. It doesn't smell directly like chocolate to me... It is like it smells a bit like that but unintentionally, like the blend of notes happened to produce that note, or something along those lines. I hope you understand it. It's not an obvious chocolate, SPECIALLY if you smell the perfume very close to the sprayer or the sprayed skin zone. If you smell it on the air it's sweet - chocolatey and less green, but still isn't like a true chocolate smell. It smells very different if you take a whiff of the sprayed skin zone and if you smell it in the air around yourself. It smells way better from distance, and I find it a bit too strong and confusing if I smell it directly from my sprayed wrist or from the bottle, but I still feel so intrigued to this smell that I keep getting it closer to my nose anyways 😂 In summary, it's a pleasing smell if you know what you're buying and you're not expecting a realistic chocolate note - true edible gourmand, for me it's not like that. Not a safe blind buy for everyone, I wouldn't blind buy if you don't like any Mugler Fragrances, or if you're very sensitive to sweet smells. To me you have to take this with an open mind and a bit of an experienced nose. If I had gotten this fragrance when I only had La Vie Est Belle or any other gourmand edible perfumes, I would absolutely HATED IT. Glad it's not the case and I like it. I think I would run out of my 50 mL really quickly, specially this winter. But I feel like it's suitable for all seasons (without extreme heat or humidity). I need to add that this version doesn't last on me more than 3-4 hours (may be because of my bad days with allergy in this season, maybe I can not smell it plenty). It's not very long lasting, fair to expect for an EDT. And I TOTALLY AGREE with people saying it smells different every time you spray it!!! It sounds weird and I didn't believe it that much but OMG it's true 😍 yesterday I smelled more greenish - vetiver, and today is true passionfruit and candy. An absolute masterpiece 🤌🏻

Angel Muse EDT is love at first sniff! I might even like it more than the EDP, because the added notes bring so much complexity to the scent and the juxtaposition is perfect. From the initial spray, there is a burst of delectably juicy mandarin and passionfruit. They smell fresh, slightly sour, and completely edible. They settle into a recognizable Angel Muse-ish backdrop, with its signature creamy nutella accord and the Angel-lineage patchoulish-chocolate, though here it is far gentler and not at all musky. I sense a candy-sweet, perfectly sugary caramel drizzled throughout the scent as well. My favorite note of the Muses, vetiver, pops out just after you spray and maintains its strength through the drydown. It is not a vegetal and crisp vetiver, but instead smells dry and lends Muse EDT a smokey character. The end result dries down to mostly sweet and tangy passionfruit on a bed of incense-y vetiver and patchy-chocolate. Muse EDT is at once more over-the-top than Muse EDP and softer than Muse EDP. It opens with a stronger burst of topnotes that really fly off your skin, while EDP is more basenote heavy and does not morph much. EDT is less potent and longlasting overall, as the EDP lasts just as well as the original Angel EDP. The EDT is by no means weak- in fact, two sprays was enough to leave me tasting perfume- but those familiar with Mugler's EDP concentration know just how strong they are. As far as the Angel series goes, EDT can best be described as an ideal combination of, and improvement upon, two flankers: Angel Muse (duh) and Angel Eau Sucree, which is similarly juicy and tart. Muse EDT is perfect for hot weather, but with it's pronounced basenotes of nutella, vetiver, and chocolate, I expect it to work well in cooler weather too, just as Muse EDP does. The Muses are certainly gourmand, but I think they are suitable for just about anyone, given their earthy and incense-like tones that keep the foodie notes from being overbearing. I must also rave about the bottle. It looks almost like a spaceship, and I love the contrast between the bright chrome and almost neon pink fluid. Of course, the Muse style bottle, with the Angel-Star impression at the back, showing through in relief from the front, is also a lovely touch.

I went away this weekend and on the drive to my final destination, I stopped part way to get out of the car and stretch my legs. Of course, I stretched them in a department store! Haha I browsed for a good half hour and walked out with some gourmet food, a few shirts, hand cream and a bottle of perfume. I had previously heard some of my favourite reviewers on YouTube talking about Mugler Angel Muse Eau De Parfum and even though it piqued my interest, it sounded like it may be a little too heavy and sharing a too similar DNA with the original Angel (which I don't care for) so it fell off of my radar and I forgot about it. As I was searching through the fragrance department in the said store, I spied "Angel Muse" and grabbed the box, knowing that it wasn't the parfum version, as the picture on the box showed a pink fluid, not the light amber colour. Sure enough, it was the Eau De Toilette version. I knew that being the Eau De Toilette version, it was likely to be lighter and fresher while at the same time, still sharing the same vibe as the it's predessessor. I had a feeling that I would love it and gave in to a blind buy. I paid $49.99 for a 50 ml. bottle and got an additional 10 percent off. Very good deal considering that Sephora Canada sells the exact same bottle for $90.00! I figured that it was worth the risk. I love it when I'm right! Haha Upon first spritz, it's all about the passionfruit. It's zingy, natural, fresh and lovely. That initial fruity blast doesn't last. It fades out rather quickly and what you end up with is a smooth, warm, creamy, nutty, chocolatey smell which isn't overpowering or too heavy. Strong enough so you can smell it freely but you won't choke anyone out with it. I absolutely adore it. You can smell the vetiver after awhile and it grounds the entire composition nicely, also providing a unisex vibe which I personally really enjoy. Thierry Mugler creations are so well done. They are high quality, have wonderful lasting power and the bottles are gorgeous. This was one of the best blind buys I have ever purchased. A slightly fruity, lightly woody, creamy gourmand that is suitable for the cooler OR warmer seasons. Everything that I hoped it would be. Lots of LOVE for this one!

So this is one of those perfumes that I wanted so badly because of the chocolate/hazelnut spread/caramel notes in it (I love gourmand fragrances) but there was always something that put me off buying it whether it be other people's reviews of it saying its more fruit forward and tropical smelling or that it smells like dirt or body odour and sour or tart and I didn't want to spend so much on a perfume I would end up not liking and adding to that I couldn't decide whether I would be best getting the EDP or EDT (I am waaay too indecisive it drives me nuts lol) so didn't end up getting it. That was until I was browsing perfumes online and came across a sale which had the 100ml edt for £40 and so I took the plunge and bought it. It arrived this morning and OMG!!!! I AM IN LOVE 😍 This is just everything I wanted and then some more 😍 On my skin its just sweet but creamy and comforting at the same time. I don't get the tartness or fruitiness that others have mentioned but maybe it's the passionfruit that gives it the sweetness as I don't get the citrus either nor do I get the dirt or bo smell thankfully. What I do get is sweet velvety nutty chocolate and caramel. There is something else in the background though that pulls it all together, I was thinking maybe a soft patchouli but that isn't listed in the description and so I have come to the conclusion that it's the mixture of the vetiver and akigalawood which combined give a really soft but not pungent patchouli smell. The combination is just so comforting but a bit edgy at the same time. After a few hours, the more I smell it the more it's starting to remind me of Prada Candy Night (one of my favourites) but minus the orange and bitter Neroli but with much better lasting power and the original angel edt but sweeter and with more caramel instead of vanilla and less patchouli. I am so pleased I purchased this, I think its my new favourite perfume, now I just need to get the EDP as I think I need them both 😍 I might even buy myself another few back up bottles as now I have this, I can't see myself ever being without it! ♥️

It was chilly in NYC yesterday, so I decided to give this one a go. When you have 100+ bottles in your collection, it makes it challenging to pick what you want to wear everyday. On the flip side, it’s nice because you have such a big variety and are never bored with what you can wear from day to day. For some reason, my nose was CRAVING this one so I said f*ck it, it’ll be my scent of the day. This is one of the more unique and standout fragrances in my collection, just based on the notes and on the scent itself. Angel Muse EDT is fruity, chocolate-y, a little earthy from the patchouli, and very sweet. Although, the Vetiver and woodiness keep it from being unbearably sweet. It’s quite loud from first spray, but settles nicely without ever waning too much in strength. It lingers on your clothes FOREVER and has excellent longevity on skin. Very powerful for an EDT but it’s Mugler and Mugler usually never disappoints when it comes to performance. If you wear it properly, it’s a scent that can be worn throughout any season. The passion fruit and citrus make it nice for warm weather, but the chocolate, woods, and Vetiver make it nice for the cold weather. The last time I remember wearing it was sometime last year when I had gone out to brunch with my friends and my boyfriend. I remember spraying it on (I put way too much on lol) and rubbed up on my boyfriend and got a bit on his shirt. A few days later, he tells me a story about how he wore that same shirt to the gym and everyone was stopping him to tell him how amazing he smelled LOL. It’s THAT strong and THAT good. I’ll definitely be wearing it more while it still cold but also try to give it a go this spring/summer in the evenings. This is a true masterpiece and is a great example of the amazing work of Thierry Mugler. I’m also not shocked that Quentin Bisch is the perfumer here. I love almost everything he creates. This has been discontinued, but I will always try to have this in my collection. Absolutely love this scent.
