Angel Nova Eau de Toilette

damn it this is why I'm so into perfumes ... it's like falling in love with someone as you start getting to know them better. When I first tried the sample, I was like "ok, inoffensive and nice, but nothing special here" but today in the morning I sprayed it all over myself because I couldn't choose what to "wear" and I was like what the hell why not. It's been 12 hours now, and I used up the whole sample and now I'm sad because I know I won't smell it again until my big 100ml bottle arrives. I ordered it about 3 hours later. I enjoyed this perfume so much! It's joyfull, breezy sweet, tart, crisp, delicate and somehow also impactful. I can smell the rose a lot and it's very nice juicy rose. Not the super sweet one (I like that too) this is light pink rose in the morning with drops of water on it. And some nice juicy fruit that I couldn't identify specifically myself but I guess it's the lichee. And there's also the cedar wood, which reminds me of Florabotanica! So random, those scents aren't similar but when I pick up this note, I immediately think of Balenciaga florabotanica. I just wish it was a little bit more long lasting. It's not bad, for edt it's still above average, but I'm not used to edt's and I like a bit longer performance.

Angel Nova EDT smells like happiness. On me the lychee is bright and juicy long into the dry down. It makes me feel like a forest fairy. :) I wish more designer fragrances for women had woody notes in the base, instead of the dated vanilla musk that seems to be everywhere. I do agree that objectively this a basic designer fruity floral, but the composition feels contemporary and not like a repackaged watered down version of something that was innovative 20 years ago. I would go as far to say that something about both the EDP and the EDT feels "niche" to me, just a little edgy. Several reviewers pointed out that the loud fruity accord was too much, maybe even headache inducing. Well, that is how I feel about most of the popular designer white floral fragrances. I keep smelling the same awful screechy jasmine in everything, so, for me, Angel Nova is a desperately need respite. Don't be frightened by the bottle--try Angel Nova if you are not able to wear many floral fragrances. 4/5 decent performance for an EDT

I'm really glad they made this version. Less than a year after my review of the then newly born Angel Nova, today I can review its Edt, an excellent easy perfume. I no longer feel that synthetic shade, it was thin, light but present and a bit dissonant, like a sharpened tonality. Wearing Very Good Girl for example, which for me is a near-identical A.Nova's twin, I don't feel it. And I wished Nova's first flanker was like that. And we're almost there. So, well, I'd say that new Nova Edt is less chemical, less dense but still sweet, more alluring, good and longlasting than Angel Nova. It is more transparent, if we want more aquatic, but not in terms of freshness. Also the woody notes are faded. I no longer feel any rose note and I don't mind it. This angel has pale skin, and I love it. Especially the bottle, it has gained in beauty. It deserves to be on my nightstand and tonight it will light up to me, like a crystal abat-jour.

This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I adore Angel Nova EDP but it’s just too strong for me. Fills a room and the oily residue gets on my clothes and they smell like angel nova forever. This opens with the same fruitiness as angel nova, but it gets more rosy as it fades. The fruitiness is slightly less candy-like, but also more gentle. Sniffing the EDT and EDP side-by-side, the EDT seems to have almost no fruitiness since the EDP is so strong by comparison. But with the EDT by itself, you get whiffs of that fruity Angel Nova DNA throughout the day. It’s a much more wearable version IMO and I can see myself getting a lot more use out of it than the EDP!

My 2nd Mugler and again, it’s a BIG love. Angel Nova EDT is a syrupy, jammy, gummy candy-like scent. Or even a fruity rose lemonade. I can smell every note listed here, even the bergamot which usually for me always gets overshadowed by other notes. But obviously the stars of this show are the dominant rose and litchi. It’s also very woody and because of this the dry down has a SLIGHT cologne vibe. It hit me that Nova somewhat reminds me of Versace Eros pour femme EDT, which i also have. While Eros EDT is the white gummy bear, Nova is the pink or red gummy bear. They’re not the same by any means but yet give a similar gummy candy vibe, if you get me.
