Angel Muse

TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR 1) A Moose is is the world's tallest, largest and heaviest existant species of deer and the only species in the genus Alces. It is also the tallest, and the second-largest, in body mass, land animal in North America, after the American bison. "Moose" and "Muse" are non related names even if they sound the same. 2) A "Muse" is one of nine inspirational goddesses of literature, science, and the arts in Greek and Roman mythology. 3) "Muse" is an English rock band. 4) "The Muse" is a 1999 film directed by Albert Brooks. 5) "Muse" is a town on the Shweli River, Shan State, Myanmar. 6) Muse Watson (born in 1948) is an American actor. 7) M.U.S.E. - Mercer University School of Engineering, one of Mercer University's eleven colleges and schools. 8) MUSE, a brand name for Prostaglandin E1, an erectile dysfunction treatment. 9) MUSE, a 2026 proposed orbiter mission to the planet Uranus. 10) Angel Muse is a fragrance designed by Quentin Bisch for the French fashion company of Thierry Mugler. Angel Muse EdP was announced in 2016 and is claimed to be the first gourmand vetiver for women. It reached the market as the first wave of renewal in the women's fragrance division of Thierry Mugler. I do not agree it to be a flanker of the original Angel. Angel Muse received the name of that famous pioneer perfume but represents a new page inside the Mugler book of feminine perfumes. Well... it's unisex for me. It's a totally new product line in my opinion. The presentation is very beautiful, drawing on a spatial and extra-terrestrial concept, and shining on any collector's shelf. THE SCENT Angel Muse is woody and incisive in the tradition of a unique Mugler gourmand fragrance. Thierry Mugler has proved that one can make modern perfumes without pepper and suggests a pink pepper vibe in the opening, but playing with a composition of red berries mixed with grapefruit notes. The grapefruit confers some citrus acidity, is unexpectedly not fruity, and gives a somewhat balanced impression. The middle notes offer us a hazelnut cream heart with chocolate. Yes, it's a strong Nutella vibe that ends up characterizing the main olfactory chord of the fragrance. The background accord houses two frequent notes but usually never in a combined form without moss, musk or wood. Mugler marries his signature note from the initial Angel - strong patchouli - with a remarkable woody and masculine vetiver. The prominent patchouli and hazelnut ensure the recognition of Mugler's DNA and appeal to many of his angelic followers. This combination suggests the aroma of caramel pudding and candies from a Luna Park, which we are already accustomed to with the Angel drydown. Angel Muse is not a champion of performance, but his sillage remains high enough to provide enough projection to please even the casual Mugler brand faithful, and its longevity satisfies any suspicious critic. Without any doubt, as in the Angel line of fragrances, Angel Muse is used as a perfume for the colder days and nights and gives a very high sexiness aura to its wearer. It is an excellent fragrance, worthy of succeeding or accompanying the long journey that the Angel can still have in the market. And it remains a somewhat unisex gimmick for many men who wear it. I personally like to apply it from time to time... like today. Angel fanatics split up a bit between hugging or repelling this latest Mugler proposal. Angel Muse is neither too sweet nor too feminine which are two main features of the whole Angel family for ladies. This less sweet Muse blending suggests to us the masculine perfumes of the brand, the male Angels, and in particular, the A*Men perfume. If we put the Muse juice in a bottle of Pure Wood (just because of the colour), we can surely fool a lot of people with a fantastic new A*Men Pure Nutella. Let's see the scoring of this sexy pink star: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ - Opening: 8.5 (nice, seductive and cool with tangy notes of grapefruit and red berries; It prepares the way for the hazelnut cream heart, the perfume DNA in my opinion) - Dry Down: 9.0 (vetiver intermingles with patchouli; very nice and alluring, but I would like it more intense) - Longevity: 8.5 (3 good sprays may last up to 8 hours, maybe 9 hours) - Sillage: 8.0 (up to 6 feet at its peak, 2~2.5 hours of projection, with 3 heavy sprays) - Uniqueness: 9.0 (I don't claim to be an expert in feminine fragrances but, besides the original Angel and Flankers, and some of the Angel Men offer, I am not aware of any familiar fragrance. All the mentioned scents belong to the Mugler brand) - Wearability: 8.0 (very easy to wear but avoid hot weather) - Versatility: 8.5 ("all around" versatile feminine fragrance provided it's not a sweaty activity - consensual sex excluded; fantastic for a night out or clubbing; a bit cloying for the office or casual daily wear; I consider it as unisex) - Compliments: 9.5 (This fragrance is a compliment magnet) - Quality: 9.5 (Well above average quality, quality ingredients, nice flask, nice cap, nice sprayer) - Presentation: 10.0 (no faults, beautiful, elegant, and nicer than the original Angel star shape) - Price: 7.0 (50 ml non-tester for €41 on a FragranceX sale, but usually its similar to the original Angel price) ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ - Overall rating: 8.69/10.00 - between 7 and 8 =above average; - between 8 and 9 = recommended; - bigger than 9 = don't miss it; My advice: If you still don't have it, just order it provided you are a Mugler fan. If not... it's better you try it before buying it. I do consider it a unisex perfume. I do have some masculine perfumes that smell more feminine than this one. The patchouli and the vetiver make a remarkable twist in this hazelnut and chocolate spread fragrance. Recommended? Yes! Music: Deep Purple - "Highway Star"

Okay guys, I seriously need a chastity belt on my wallet!!! Just blind bought this yesterday, and literally the last thing I need is another fragrance, but the urge was too strong and so she came home with me :/ This perfume is sensational!! A very successful blind buy that I am honoured to own. I own the original Angel, and I don't find these two alike whatsoever. Other reviewers are correct - Angel Muse is a softer, more wearable flanker (not that Angel isn't wearable - I love it and wear it proudly!) This one is just more office appropriate, and can safely be sprayed a few times. I find Angel is max one spray and is most definitely a powerhouse of a frag. Muse is an all-season perfume, as it's not too strong, but certainly not too light, either. Angel Muse is oh so smooth, creamy, rich and comforting. When I wear it, I instantly think of hot cocoa on a cold winter's day, snuggling up on the couch with my husband and son, with a fire crackling in the background. I'm really not great at discerning various notes, but to my nose, I get rich, warm, toasted hazelnuts, high quality milk chocolate drizzled over full fat whipped cream on a bed of even more toasted hazelnuts. I have no idea what vetiver smells like, but I guess it smells great because this is seriously working for me! I really don't smell any patchouli or grapefruit, and I'm not so sure about the pink pepper, either. I do smell a faint hint of rose, late in the glorious dry down. Indeed, it is soft, airy, almost cloud like - never heavy, cloying or offensive. My husband LOVES this one - usually I have to ask what he thinks of my perfume, but this morning he voluntarily said mmmm you smell incredible, wear that more often! Hold the phone, ladies!!!! Longevity is generous - this baby goes throughout the day and night - when I wake up in the morning, albeit light, I can still smell this on my wrist, and it always seems a shame to wash it away in the shower. Sillage is moderate to heavy - a generous arm's length, with a beautiful trail left behind you. This perfume is also anything but linear - oh no, this juice takes you through various stages of amazingness, and there is not one stage that I don't love! The nutty accord is quite intriguing. I can't say I've smelled nuts in too many fragrances, but this one is bang on and so well done. The bottle is unique - heavy, feels expensive, and yes, even futuristic! The only thing I don't like about Mugler's fragrances is that some of them don't stand up on their own. I wish they did! But that is such a minor detail; it's the juice inside that counts, after all. If you're into sweet, airy, comforting gourmand fragrances, I can't see this disappointing you whatsoever. Such a beauty!

Absolutely love this ! Angel Muse is basically a more wearable Angel ! Not that Angel isn't wearable ,,, I love it , its controversial , talked about , wild , daring , crazy ,you name it !!!! Angel muse is like the tamer version of it , more in the direction of innocent and sucree and Aqua chic .....BUT .....it's better ;) Angel muse starts with a burst of patchouli and jammy zesty citrus fruits and red berries , almost like fresh version of the original Angel , same character , same face. Angel muse doesn't carry the same heaviness as Angel does , it's more of an airy cloud or a puff if that makes sense. Angel muse never becomes as sweet and as dense as Angel. After the initial angel shock has dried a little, the hazelnut cream appears , which is amazing to me. It's when I really start to love it. But it's not heavy sticky cream , it's light and airy , the rose helps to make it fresh rather than heavy ,,,At this point it's much lighter than angel with its heavy chocolate and caramel notes that can come across almost suede like ,,,, angel muse shines in the middle and as just mentioned the rose adds freshness and keeps it from being too heavy. It's the smell of sweet patchouli , rose with hazelnut cream , it's almost edible with a touch of saltiness , it's very much addictive ! The vetiver is a nice addition as it keeps it from boiling or flooding over the edge of über feminine ! Or in other words the vetiver combined with the patchouli gives it a slightly masculine touch in the same sense as angel EDT does with the cedar note. I am impressed and will definitely get a second bottle once it arrives in my city ! For now I will treasure the one I have as it lays nicely on my dresser beside the blue Angel star. Like two comets from heaven ! I think this perfume is fabulous ! A great way to freshen up a classic. And thank god they let the classic stay and give this to us in addition , the best of both worlds. It's a Mugler all the way , smells like one , lasts like one and looks like one . Now I am in an angel craze again !

Discontinued—but never forgotten. Some perfumes flirt with your senses. Angel Muse seduced mine. From the moment I first tried it, I was completely captivated. This wasn’t just a perfume—it was an experience, a statement, a temptation in a bottle. I fell hard for it, and I never looked back. Angel Muse was everything I craved in a fragrance: deep, sensual, and unapologetically bold. The patchouli in this scent was divine—earthy yet refined, intense yet elegant. It grounded the perfume with that unmistakable Mugler DNA, but Muse elevated it with a new, irresistible twist: a creamy, nutty hazelnut-cocoa accord that felt almost edible. Sweet, but never juvenile. Warm, but never dull. It was like the forbidden love child of chocolate and woodsmoke, wrapped in silk and sin. What truly made me fall in love, though, was the longevity. This was no fleeting scent. Angel Muse clung to skin, hair, and fabric like a second skin. I would catch whispers of it on myself all day—sometimes even the next morning. It had that rare power to haunt a room without overpowering it, and to linger on scarves and sweaters like a memory you don’t want to let go of. There was something magnetic about it—like you were wrapped in mystery, sensuality, and warmth. I wore it on cool evenings and always felt more confident, more alluring, more me. People noticed. I noticed. It made ordinary moments feel cinematic. That’s why it broke my heart when it was discontinued. Perfume lovers know: when a scent like this disappears, it feels like losing a piece of your past. Angel Muse wasn’t just a bottle on my dresser. It was a scent that marked seasons of my life, moods, even memories. I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since, but nothing has truly filled the void it left behind. If you ever find a bottle—hold onto it. Cherish it. Because Angel Muse was a modern classic, and for those of us who loved it, it always will be.

Oh how I love Angel Muse! I’ll have to be 100% honest, though - the first couple of times I sprayed it I wasn’t so sure about it. But there was something about it that made me want to keep smelling myself. I didn’t wear it for a while and just recently came back to it. Now I’m obsessed and some days I’m literally just craving this fragrances. We’re in the middle of summer right now, so of course it’s not the ideal temperature to wear it... But on some not-too-sunny days (like today)) I still spray it anyway and I adore it. It’s so interesting and comforting, but also kind of sensual in a way? My husband smelled it on me today and then kept coming back for more sniffs. I haven’t found another fragrance that has this effect on him.. So of course now this is discontinued. I’m really sad about it, but luckily my 50ml bottle is still pretty much full so I guess it will last quite a while. While most fragrances perform very poorly on my skin, this (and other patchouli ones) are lasting quite a while. I’d say at least 7/8 hours, but sometimes even more. Sillage is also pretty good, my husband said he could smell it at arm length and got whiffs of the scents when I walked near him. This was with 3 sprays (one on each of my forearms and one on the back of my neck). I personally wouldn’t spray more because I think this could get headache inducing if over-sprayed and I definitely don’t want to suffocate anyone. At first spray, the patchouli and pink pepper are all I can smell, which I personally love. Then, after maybe half an hour it turns sweeter and I get that Nutella smell everyone is talking about. But the patchouli and pink pepper are still somehow present in the background and although I can’t detect them too clearly at this point, their “vibe” is still there to ground them and make the Nutella less gourmand and more earthy. Comforting, interesting and addictive.

L'Oréal should bring this back. It will sell like hot cakes. The reviews and ratings speak for themselves. "Muse" has a warm, spicy, zesty and slightly bitter opening. The pepper and grapefruit combine surprisingly well. Although it is a completely different scent, "Gold" by Kim Kardashian has a somewhat similar opening due to the shared notes. The top notes last about 20 minutes then "Muse" develops into a strong nutty, delicious scent with a lot of patchouli. The hazelnut cocoa note is quote strong however it smells more like roasted nuts and less like cocoa. However, this is an advantage to me since I prefer less sweetness. It is strong but very wearable if used sparingly. I find it amazing for cold weather since it makes me feel warm. The closest thing to an office friendly "Angel" fragrance. Aside from the opening, it remains feminine while being dark and deep. Sometimes, less is more. They managed to create an excellent fragrance with only 5 notes. It is instantly recognizable and has the Mugler DNA which my EDT "Angel" also has. There is something ethereal about these fragrances that I cannot quite describe. This performs like a beast. It really sticks to your skin, hair and clothes. I easily get 8-10 hours of longevity while projection lasts about 4 hours. It is not too overpowering. If you want a chocolate scent, "Muse" is a great candidate. You have to enjoy patchouli in order to really appreciate this one, though. The bottle reminds me of a ballet flat. 🩰

If I ever did try the "original" Angel back in the day (and I'm sure I did), I never recall anything that smells as lovely as Mugler "Angel Muse." Sadly, this flanker is out-of-production. So, I searched and finally located a full, unopened bottle at a pretty good price-point. Angel Muse is beautiful. I am surprised at how much I LOVE Angel Muse. Opening is spritzy, sorta-aldehydic grapefruit and strong, heady patchouli. If I push my nose to my skin and concentrate, I can detect a very small amount of cocoa, or chocolate. The chocolate note is much more prevalent in the dry-down. Angel Muse quickly morphs into a feminine, powdery, ethereal choco-vanilla fragrance with the prettiest, intermittent wafts of grapefruit & florals, primarily jasmine. Grapefruit is a citrus note I try to avoid at all costs in fragrances. But somehow, in Angel Muse it just works. Vanilla, chocolate, patchouli, jasmine, rose and grapefruit. Dry-down is a powdery, spicy patchouli choco-vanilla, a hint of citrus, lots of florals. This is a BEAST. When I first sprayed, my husband smelled the patchouli from across the living room. Longevity is long, silage is moderate-high. And not that it matters but I would never consider this fragrance to be gourmand. I "may" detect a wee-bit of nuttiness in this fragrance. But overall, hazelnut is just one note I simply do not detect. Wish I did. I love Angel Muse. I'm going to beauguard my bottle 'cause the asking price for a 100ml bottle is high.

A HEAVENLY GOURMAND 💫 The original Angel is an incredible Gourmand that opens with notes of patchouli, vanilla (ethyl-vanillin), caramel, cotton candy (ethyl-maltol), chocolate and a host of other accords. However, Angel Muse Edp transforms this composition into something more "earthy", with a vetiver opening evoking smells of wood and earth. Angel Muse definitely awakens my olfactory appetite, but unlike the original Angel, Muse presents itself as a Gourmand Vetiver. It's great!, right?... Vetiver being a commonly masculine note. When I smell it, honestly, I can't perceive the red fruits in its opening, but I do notice the pink pepper mixed with a soft touch of slightly bitter grapefruit and the exquisite hazelnut cream that reminds me of Nutella cream, but without sugar. Truly a delight! It is worth clarifying that the similarity between Angel and Angel Muse does not lie in their sweetness, but in the structure of the perfume. In the opening there is a bright and fresh explosion of fruits, spices and citrus, with white flowers like jasmine and lily of the valley. All this florality is similar to Angel, especially in the patchouli, which is Angel's signature signature. This is followed by a magnificent and exquisite hazelnut-cocoa cream accord and finally a magnetic explosion with the elegant and woody character of vetiver. Infusing depth and warmth in the dry down phase. In my opinion, Angel Muse Edp is one of the best flakers of the traditional Angel.

Addictive and alluring.. this fragrance is a gem.. it’s a shame it’s discontinued :/ Edit: no but like what if weeee brought it backkkkk??? 😀😭 I only bought a sample vial but this is literally too beautiful and gorgeous and sexy to be discontinued!! Like actually what is the reason lol because all I hear about this fragrance is the fact everyone loves/loved it! This is literally Angel’s hotter sister and she deserves the spotlight again! #BringBackAngelMuse Edit 2: oh my GODDDDD every single time I put this on I cannot get my nose away from it!! I would genuinely akin this to addiction like I NEED MORE.. my 1ml vial is already almost gone and I’m panicking Edit 3: EEEEEK!! I got my 1 oz and I couldn’t be happier.. thinking I should’ve just pulled the trigger and get the biggest size but I’m sure this will last me a bit.. side note.. I haven’t seen anyone mention the atomizer on this perfume?? It’s so nice! Imagine something similar to Burberry Her’s atomizer except if it was just a bit more forceful.. I just love this perfume! It’s very quickly becoming my favorite.. out of the handful I have so far, this one seems to mix the absolute BEST with my body chemistry.. it’s simply just mesmeric <3 Edit 4: omg I just got the edt and it’s soooo good! Some of my faves ever ugh I'm just obsessed

In the United States, this fragrance is discontinued. I fully blame the Clarins ownership that was bought by L'oreal. I hate to be the bearer of bad news y'all. Stock up if you can. This is one of my most favorite Muglers, ever! Although I admit OG Angel is my signature, I also love Angel eau de toilette(2019) too. I'm just a Mugler girl, what can I say. I'd love to smell the first Angel eau de toilette(comet bottle) I'm sure I'd love it. I also love Innocence by Mugler. It used to be called Angel Innocence so it definitely is an Angel flanker that fits in beautifully. However I will not ignore the fact that Angel and it's sister Flankers(meaning they have the Angel DNA in the composition) are not super easy to wear and that The Angel line can be very polorizing. Either you love it or you hate it. There really is no in-between. It is also said that Angel chooses you. I 100% concede that, you have to give this a few tries to "get" it. If all else fails, try out Angel Elixir. It doesn't have any of the patchouli notes and is a solid vanilla gourmand. Also, if you like fruity, flirty scents; try Angel Nova! They have an EDP of Nova and an EDT. One last tid bit of advice, Mugler EDT's perform like an EDP. If you want to save some money, look to the EDT and see if you like it.

Angel Muse does NOT smell like the "powdered Nutella" line that every reviewer on social media likes to regurgitate, which is why I didn't like this fragrance at first -- it was the unmet false expectations of a chocolate gourmand. Fortunately for Angel Muse, it is more than a linear chocolate note, which is what I like about it (after I approached the fragrance on its own merits). To start, the notes are accurate. When you first spray this, you'll get a blast of Pink Pepper and Grapefruit in the top notes along with Patchouli. Once the perfume dries down, it becomes sweeter yet still not a linear chocolate. It almost reminds me of Kilian Angel's Share in a way, but unlike Angel's Share which smelled too literally like an apple cinnamon pie, Angel Muse smells like an actual perfume. So Muse is unique, mysterious, sweet, spicy, and alluring. Now that Muse is discontinued, you'll likely have to blind buy it. I'd recommend doing so if you think you'll like it because there is nothing else that's similar on the market, and if you don't like it, you can easily resell it. But know in advance that Angel Muse is not a powdered Nutella gourmand, and I mean that in the best way.

I acquired a sample of this randomly at a thrift store at the beginning of my perfume journey. It isn't something that I ever would have tried based on the notes. But I'm very glad I did- it's the first perfume that I had the experience of spraying, not really knowing what to think- but then just coming back to it over and over. It grew on me but I couldn't explain what it was I liked about it. I remember poring over the reviews, concluding it was probably the hazelnut that I was drawn to, but the hazelnut would come in and out of focus for me, like complex fascinating perfumes can. There's more to it than just that. Upon re-sampling now, I am enchanted by the blend. The grapefruit is delightful, it also comes in and out of focus. Overall this is one that's more than the sum of its parts. It almost smells like run-of-the-mill department store generic, but it's so much deeper and nuanced. I don't generally love patchouli, but here I don't mind it, and assume it's a vital part of the energy and nuance. I don't know that I would ever buy a full bottle- I don't think it really smells "like me" but I do like smelling it on me.

OH, MUSE...where have you gone?...😟👋💔 Mugler broke my heart when it discontinued my Eau De Star so many years ago..and part of me never recovered from that. And then, it was Muse...WHAT IS L'OREAL THINKING?? Muse has been discontinued for a short while now, and impossible to find unless you go to eBay or Poshmark or someplace like that. I wouldn't recommend doing that, as most people don't take care of their perfumes. My discontinued perfumes are all refrigerated. I haven't had ANY luck with my perfume purchases from eBay. All rancid or unwearable deteriorated. That said, if you want to take the chance, this perfume is a delightful, spicy, sexy unisex gem. It a warm, slightly sweet, vetiver & patchouli bomb, with a chocolate note that adds a rich smoothness to it. It has nice sillage and longevity. Men will love this on you ..men will also love to wear it FOR you. Perfectly unisex. Smells fantastic on most everybody, if spicy sexy is your thing. I only have a couple of bottles left in my fridge. I will be sad when it's gone. When I spray the last spray, I will mourn..💔

I have owned the original Angel for many years, though I got it mostly beacause it's iconic and I think the blue star is beautiful, but I have never really liked it and I never wear it. I was intrigued by Muse because of the hazelnut spread note, so I got a sample. I can not detect the particular note that attracted me, but I love it! Though I love perfume and have 100+ bottles, my nose is not particularly sophisticated or discerning, so strangely enough to me Angel Muse smells exactly like the original, except that I love Angel Muse but not Angel! Like it says in the brief above (pros and cons) this is the wearable version of Angel! To me at least. My skin eats perfume so it's just moderate in longevity on me (which is really good) but I sprayed some on my scarf and the smell was still strong a week later. It seems to have been discontinued but I fortunately managed to find a travel size 10ml bottle, otherwise I would have liked to get a full size. Exceptional quality.

A friend gave me a sample of this. Based on the notes I did not expect to like it much. THIS SH*T SLAPS! On first impression the sweetness is too much for my personal taste. If the vanilla was turned down a notch it would be perfect. Either I got used to it or the sweetness isn’t as strong on the dry down. I haven’t been able to stop smelling myself all day, both in the sense that I can’t get enough of it, and also in the sense that if I’m breathing I’m smelling this perfume. Just when I think I’m used to it I discover something new in it. It is strong and seems to project a lot, so I was a little worried that it might offend my family, but they are all as obsessed as I am. Too bad it was discontinued. I’m glad I got it anyway because it taught me an important lesson that many of you probably know (I’m a late bloomer): there’s a pretty big disconnect between what I think I want to smell like and what I actually want to smell like.

I’ll begin, unusually, with a quote: “To make an analogy, you could say that Angel Eau de Parfum is the star, while Angel MUSE orbits around the star and revolves as if around a galaxy.” — Christophe de Lataillade, Creative Director for MUGLER fragrances This comparison captures the very essence of the fragrance perfectly. If Angel is a praline, then Muse is its creamy, nut-filled heart. The assertive patchouli of Angel reappears here in a softer, more restrained form, while Angel’s multifaceted fruity opening is echoed through shimmering reflections in Muse’s grapefruit opening. This is a gentler, more enveloping composition, wrapped in a comforting, sweet veil. It feels calmer, more subdued, and quietly beautiful. Longevity is very good, though the sillage is noticeably softer than that of Angel. A true gem—one can only regret that it has been discontinued. A beautiful fragrance, well worth owning alongside Angel. I adore it.

oh come onnnnn. oh my god. immediately: a fresh peppery spicy hit, you can feel it right in the top of your skull. after a few minutes this levels out, and the chocolate hazelnut spread blossoms. it is very realistic, and absolutely delicious. it doesn't feel overly sweet, just perfectly nutty and warm. the head and heart of this perfume dry down into a lovely warm-spicy canvas for that famous Angel patchouli to play on, and the vetiver is the very last to come to the party, and the very last to leave, just like so many of my favourite party freaks. it is terrible that this now sells for as much as a house deposit on ebay. i got very lucky to secure a bottle at a low auction price - but what on EARTH am i going to do when it runs out! we're about to head into cooler months here in the southern hemisphere, and i can't wait to show this one off as much as i can. i love you angel muse <3

This is lovely. I can’t pick out any distinct notes besides maybe the pink pepper up top. Angel Muse also performs like an absolute beast. I sprayed it 2-3 times the other day, in my room, with the door shut, and my mom walked into the house from the garage which is on the opposite side of the house and yelled out “what perfume am I smelling?! I can smell it throughout the house!” I received a 10ml decant and this’ll last me quite a while with performance like this! I’ll definitely be buying a full bottle soon because I keep hearing this is (or has been) discontinued so I wanna get it before the prices really go through the roof. I imagine a 1.7oz will last me a lifetime. This is definitely one of the strongest performers I’ve ever had the pleasure of spritzing on myself and it’s absolutely delicious too! Can’t wait to see how it performs during the cooler months!

I have already written something here about this perfume, but I reckon only now that it was rather a suggestion for an alternative after its discontinuation and not a proper review, so here it is: This is in my top five fragrances, and I have a big collection. I am not a patchouli fan, but I totally love this loud, earthly patchouli/vetiver/hazelnut spread combo. It starts citrusy, earthy and muddy, morphs into a nutty, chocolatey center and ends patchouli and vanillary :) It leaves a lovely trail, stays on for 8-10 hours and is a compliment getter. This is genius, a real masterpiece, a unique scent for real fragheads. It's Mugler's legacy, now destroyed by a company launching mediocre stuff like Angel Elixir. I need to stock up and already found a faithful dupe for this: I never want to run out of this gourmand magic. 10/10
