Angel Nova

Absolutely gorgeous fragrance to my nose! I don't usually stop people and ask them what they're wearing. Usually I already know what scent someone has on, or it isn't particularly exciting when I do smell it. I had to ask the woman wearing this one what it was. My wife and I have and have had several Muggler Angel and A*men in our collection, none of the feminine propositions have tickled my olfactories in quite a pleasant way as this. The DNA is somewhat familiar, somewhat reminiscent of PDM Delina and Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl: roses, berries, and litchi are the stars in all three. All three also had Quentin Bisch cooking then up. Where with Delina you get a dark depth of, what smell to me like, incense and wood with a much stronger rose, Very Good Girl seems to drop some of the roses' depth and lean heavily into the sweet base notes and smells like there have been additions of other softer florals, Supernova amps up the fruity notes to the extreme. It reminds me of strawberry jam, sweet and delicious smelling! The rose is perfectly balanced and it is an absolute delight to experience. Supernova may not come across as intense as Delina, but it's definitely a very different mood. Supernova is bright and ripe, where Delina is a brooding dark composition. VGG is kind of the outlier and for all of the wrong reasons: too me, VGG is a muted composition, very restrained and safe by comparison. It straddles the line between Delina and Supernova but doesn't particularly excell past either of them in any areas. VGG plays it too safe, and while pleasant, it is boring in my opinion compared to the other two. Performance is incredibly good, projection is room filling and longevity is excellent. SN is definitely more intense than VGG, the sweetness is derived more from the fruits than the base, while it shares notes and DNA with Delina, it is just as intense but in a very different way. By classic fragrance gender conventions, I typically think many are unisex leaning one way or another. I think this one definitely leans feminine. This could be great for layering with other things to make it more wearable for men (Ombre Leather would likely be a good one!) I do have to disagree with the general consensus hear and say that I think SN will actually play better in the cold than the extreme heat, even though it is four season safe. SN definitely has a lot of sweetness to it that may be overwhelming on the hottest days, but this same quality will also bolster it on the coldest. I absolutely love this juice! I love Delina too. They use similar notes but balance them in very different ways and it works very well for both and they could be used for very different occasions. Supernova for the days, Delina for the nights! I can't say enough good about this one and it's definitely one of my favorite fragrances marketed to women. 94/100

Have you ever been told that you’re “too much”? Angel Nova, to me, is too much of a perfume and no, it’s not for everyone. But that makes me love it even more. The first time I smelled this on paper, I got hooked by the opening but repulsed by the middle. The lychee and rose smelled sickeningly sweet. I couldn’t get rid of it fast enough. Then something happened the second time - again on paper. I left the strip on the counter and went about getting ready for bed and a few hours later the smell had changed into this addictive scent I couldn’t get enough of. The third time was when I tried it on skin, and oh my god that opening had me giggling. The middle I still hadn’t made my peace with, but the dry down? Oh that gorgeous woody drydown, so similar to Tresor Midnight Rose, sealed the deal for me. I finally got a bottle from my sister for my birthday and I am over the moon! I’ve smelled quite a few in the same genre. Very Good Girl is very good, yes, but lacks the depth. Delina has a tartness that comes from the rhubarb, but lacks the juicy fruity opening. Tresor Midnight Rose ( a favourite of mine) has a darker opening, nothing as effervescent as Angel Nova. Angel Nova is bold and loud and happy - she’s the girl who gets the party started! Can she be annoying sometimes because she’s so perky all the time? Yes! But her enthusiasm is contagious. She’ll pull you in, hold you by the hand and drag you to the dance floor. You’ll roll your eyes but finally give in and later, much later, all glowing from the exuberance bubbling inside you, you’ll relent that yeah, it was fun to dance breathlessly. Angel Nova is that girl. You might love her or you might hate her - it doesn’t make a difference to her anyway - but you can’t ignore her. Too much of a perfume? Heck yes!

I wasn't expecting Angel Nova to become one of my most-worn fragrances. Rose, and especially rose paired with oud can be unpredictable on my skin, often leaning too heavy or too mature. Angel Nova completely changed my mind. This is sexy confidence wrapped in a stunning star-shaped bottle. From the first spray, you're met with an intoxicating burst of juicy raspberry and bright fruity sweetness that feels vibrant, playful, and alluring. As it settles, the heart reveals a rich, jammy rose that is sensual rather than powdery, adding depth without overwhelming the composition. The result is a fragrance that feels flirtatious, modern, and undeniably magnetic. Angel Nova has become my most complimented perfume. Complete strangers, (women and men alike) have stopped to ask what I'm wearing, and it's one of those rare fragrances that naturally draws people a little closer. What makes Angel Nova so captivating is its balance. It's fruity without feeling juvenile, sweet without becoming cloying, and the rose feels fresh, confident, and irresistibly sexy instead of vintage. It has the kind of effortless sensuality that lingers long after you've left the room. Performance is equally impressive. The longevity is excellent, and its radiant scent trail is impossible to ignore, leaving behind an unforgettable impression that's both feminine and bold. My bottle is completely empty, which says everything. Angel Nova isn't just another fruity floral, it's the fragrance I reach for when I want to feel confident, captivating, and just a little impossible to forget.

okay let me Cook..listen, I got my bottle on the crack of summer and It smelled decidedly bad. It was extremely masculine, wood and myrrh and nothing else. Smelled dry and extremely powdery with some slight decent-smelling transference on clothes. my boyfriend used It for two weeks as a 1 spray frag until he got a really Bad headache that he blames on this perfume. so I banished It to the back of my closet with the promise of revisiting It during the winter. well winter passed and I was too busy with Aura to care about Nova, spring came and I remembered about her. I think the "maceration" or oxidation inside the bottle really helped It because It is now WEARABLE FOR ME! And its nothing like the first impression I remember, now It smells like a Raspberry pineapple popcorn punch, I do not pick up rose much at all. It has like a minty quality that keeps It ever-fresh, kinda like chewing gum. I now CAN SEE THE VISION and understand the hype, smells really nice, not girly girl more like upscale maneater in a tailored Mugler powersuit. if you have recently purchased this and its not filling the quota, make sure to use some sprays and let It macerate for some months, perhaps youll be as surprised as I am now!

When i tested this perfume in store, i had a little accident with it. I meant to spray it on the testing strip but some of it got flung from the paper and landed into my wrist, instead. So I did what any sensible person would do: I let my skin absorb it and gave it a sniff. I immediately fell in love with this fragrance. It opens as really fruity but in a bold way, and as time passes, the raspberry note slowly transitions into a more floral scent of roses, but with a sharp edge, in the signature "Mugler DNA" kind of way. Wearing this perfume makes me feel more confident, it feels like I'm projecting a bolder side of myself, both inwards and outwards. As for duration, this fragrance is the definition of "eternal". When I use it, I spray myself only once on my neck, and I can still faintly feel the scent on my skin the next day when I wake up. My husband offered me this perfume as a valentine's day gift, which doesn't say much in terms of how well it performs, but I wanted to leave it here as a note to express how much I love this perfume. Solid 9/10, very good choice for those who are looking for a bold signature/statement fragrance that doesn't shy away from expressing who they are.
