Angel Sunessence EDT Legere

I don't like Angel but I love this. The scent bubble is vanilla with light patchouli. As you draw it in, you get the praline-chocolate-red-fruit bomb pleasingly flanked by the patchouli...then the scent it leaves in your nose is salty, almost sweaty but in a gourmand way. I feel like this is what the classic Angel formulation is to people who have experienced, I unfortunately have not had that privilege but I get it now as I work my way through the Angel flankers. This one is definitely not just a favorite Angel, but a favorite perfume!! I'm still an Innocent stan through and through lol I get my patchouli in small doses from other sources, which is such a spoiled modern poser millennial thing to say but hey here I am. I'm still a lesbian so

If you admire Angel on others, but don’t have the stomach to wear it, like myself, this is the perfect choice. Can’t emphasize enough how delicate, still stubborn veil this perfume creates around you. Monster longevity, still felt it on my shirt after washing it. Not cloying and sweet at all, just naturally sophisticated and cocky. Not seeing any resemblance to Coco Mademoiselle either, they share the patchouli note, that’s it. Love that one too though. To me it smells like the trace you feel when someone wearing Angel passes by. The airy, mysterious version of it.

Wonderful perfume sister to the other summer edt "blue lagoon" which I also have. The trick with these perfumes is that even if the patchouli note is rather intense they never suffocate because the other sweet notes keep the perfume airy and light without holding back the strength of the perfume. The quality of Mugler perfumes is unique and no matter how many one owns, its very hard to stop wanting more and more. This perfume is better to use during summer when you want to smell nice and not heavy. Super glad once more!

My loyal summer companion you deserve a couple of good words :) the thing i loved the most about is it stays nice and fresh during the day and at night it transforms -the dry down smells so sweet fairly reminiscent of Angel but more subtle and close to skin. Like having 2 different perfumes! I cant break down the notes but I can say its a cold alcoholic scent at first and that you need to give it some time before you give your verdict P.s. smells a lot like linden or camomile tea to me

bought for a $30 steal . a sexier light blue d&g and a mile ahead of coco madam . ysl mon paris lumiere is similar but not as complex/dark this is really well blended, all notes seem roughly equal besides patchouli and hibiscus, theyre persistant . i feel like theres a bit of A*Men in this, with the dark chocolate and coumarin, but its never bogged down, always refreshing and enlightening the whole wear . these recent releases dont compare

This scent is amazing. I sprayed it on early morning and yet here it is night time and I'm still sitting here smelling myself, thinking Whoaaa!! It lasts for such a long time! Even though it doesn't have many floral notes to me it smells very floral and sweet. And fresh! So fresh! Great for summer. It has that typical Thierry Mugler smell (Which I love btw). An instant fav!

I absolutely agree with x-x-x-ANGEL-x-x-x. It is so like Coco Mademoiselle that I am very very surprised. It is not bad, indeed it is pretty nice, but it is nothing like the original Angel in my opinion.

This parfume reminds me Diesel Fuel for Life and little bit Chanel's Coco Mathmazel and Chance. But lighter that's, definetely for summer or spring/fall. Longevity is good.

A searing, dirty, bittersweet, berry-colored ray of sunshine. OG Angel is one of my signature scents. I've been wearing it for 30 years. As fickle a chameleon as it can be, I have adored it completely from the first sniff and am a devoted fan. I will probably be buried with a bottle (or two). That being said, I am only now exploring the flankers and I've sampled Muse, Eau Croisiere, and now...Sunessence. Sunessence has OG DNA with the bergamot and berries dialed up to 11 and the gourmand notes existing as a barely detectable vapor. I have found over the years (and with experience) that my nose picks up less of the citrus and floral aspects of bergamot, and rather more of its tart, earthy, herbal, and coriander aspects, so couple that with whatever is going on with the coumarin and I get a sense of sun-drenched and over-heated skin in a straw hat with Sunessence. If you've ever had unsweetened hibiscus tea or lemonade, you'll recognize that note here as well. It's akin to unripe berries but with a touch if citrus and bitter florals. I get only the faintest hint of vanilla and the patch is loamy and somewhat disguised by the herbal and earthy aspects of the other ingredients. It really shines on hot days, weaving it's scented tendrils into the heat and humidity that radiate off a body after a good bake in the sun. So far, it seems the Angel flankers are less fickle and more wearable than the OG, so it's just a matter of choosing one that suits you, if you're looking to be an Angel-wearer but are not of the camp that can pull off the OG. Sunessence is like the OG baking in the sun on the hood of a truck parked on a dirt road in the country, the truck bed loaded with hay bales, a glass of unsweetened berry/hibiscus lemonade, ice already melted, in your hand. Not an unpleasant scene at all.

I first managed to find samples of Angel Sunessence Ocean d'Argent and absolutely fell in love with its fresh and tangy scent. Unfortunately, that scent is impossible to find anymore (and I bought the last samples that I found online), so I tried to find something similar, which brought me to this fragrance. It's still easily available where I am. First of all, this is nothing like Ocean d'Argent. Absolutely nothing. It really disappointed me, and I found that I was not giving Legere the chance it deserved because of my expectations. So I set it aside for a while and came back to it today with no bias. This is the most masculine Angel that I've smelled yet. This could easily be a men's fragrance, and I'm surprised at the votes saying that this is mostly feminine-leaning. It's fresh, but not a "cool sweet lemonade on a hot day" kind of fresh, but rather a "mint toothpaste and orange juice" kind of bizarre fresh. All the upvotes for this smelling like Mademoiselle lead me to thinking that I might have gotten a spoiled bottle, even though I got if from a trustworthy store that takes care of its stock. I wouldn't say it's gross or anything, I could still wear this as I don't mind a fair bit of masculinity in my fragrances. There is no hint of the OG in this. If anything, this slightly reminds me of Womanity in its edge and almost metallic freshness. This would make more sense to me as a Womanity flanker for sure. I can't help but wish for a stronger and sweeter citrus in here, but I'm still going to wear it, especially on hot days. I don't think it's offensive, just slightly peculiar as a fragrance marketed towards women.

Well, I am shocked! This is so far removed from the original Angel concept, & pleasingly so. Not that the original Angel is a "bad" perfume, quite the opposite. I see Angel as a very well-designed perfume which enjoyed mass appeal....sadly my nose became over-angelled as I endured clouds of it at college to the present day. Sometimes it is hard to separate the perfume notes from the connotations, memories & wearers! I digress....this AS is light, summery, fruity, "pink-yellow-red", mouthwateringly crisp & translucent yet it packs an olfactory punch just like the original Angel. I can really sense the berries & the hibiscus - it is just like my favourite hibiscus fruit tea! The citrus keeps it tart which is pleasantly balanced with a light hand on the honeyed sweetness. As it mellows the patchouli emerges creating a slightly earthy edge to this happy little frag. I can appreciate Angel, but I prefer AS. It's like Angel took off her sexy city clothes & went to live by the sea where she wandered the beaches barefoot, sunbathed, lightened her hair, tucked a Hibiscus flower behind her ear, swam naked & let the fresh fruit juices dribble down her chin. Cheeky, sunny, fun & relaxed with a spicy little kick. If you hate Angel, try it.....if you love Angel, why not try the lighter sunshine vibe this summer?

09. july 2015 Im on my second bottle! Like this version of Angel very much! It is still has that magical touch of original angel, yet it also has a touch of Coco Mademoiselle, so it is a very nice cross. The drydown is very Angel like, however much lighter. I love the berries in this version and it is indeed very wearable during humid summer we have up here this year. Glad that i didn ́t pass this by and discovered it last year. It is not so overpowering as the original Angel, and not so sweet as the EDT version of angel, just perfect cross between them both plus the Coco Mademoiselle. The sillage is great (3 sprays) and lasting power as usual with Muglers. Very recommended for the gourmand lovers!! +++++++ UPDATE (september 2015) i have worn it quite a lot this summer, since we had a cold summer this year and i must confess, that the drydown has some metallic undertone and reminds me a lot of another Mugler creation: Womanity.

This is a nice fresh take on angel . I am at the moment trying this beside the Angel edt . and this one is a bit more citrusy compared to angel edt.. I dont knnow why that is , it isent listed that many citrus notes;) but that it how it behaves on my skin. This is a mix between Angel . Innocent and Eau de star. it has that tiny marschipan feal to it . but in this version it has the berry aswell . so its not as dry. The black berrys are intense in this one , berry and chocolate , on my skin the patcholi behaves very well in this one . a nice twizt to angel . But still The Original is the best IMO. this is more off a summer early autumn version . It feals very sunny on skin , like your skin is warmed up by the sun and the fruity almost tropical feal lingers around you ( Not realy Tropical , but close:)) A much lighter take to Angel compared whit the patcholie and choco notes ,

Today I received a small sample (1,2.ml) and I really liked. I weared to go to the theatre with my dauther (almost 4) to a teenagers play. Angel sunessence works perfectly for the occasion : it's soft, feminine and casual .I sprayed on my douther too and smells so pretty! I agree with Violinora and Melissa38 , this version of Angel reminds me in some point to Coco Madmoiselle and Chance. I owned bouth a cuple of years ago, and I believe it's the patchouli the element in common. The patch is present and noticeable but in very well behaved way. Imho this is a cutie.

I completely agree with the previous reviews. This is a VERY fresh scent version of Angel. Although I wasn't thrilled to get this initially because I thought I was ordering the original Angel perfume, I have to humbly admit that I am very pleased with this fragrance. It's a lighter and more tolerable version of Angel, very fresh yet smooth. Ultimately, I could pull off wearing this version in the daytime (lightly) and reserve the original formula for night time occasions. This perfume is a keeper and a mistaken transaction that turned out with a happy ending. :)

Well perhaps because this is the third perfume I've tried with Hibiscus in it I can now honestly say, I don't appear to be a fan of hibiscus. It's a very strange addition. Sunessence just seems sour to me. This is nothing like Angel, Innocent, or Angel Eau de Star. I like Angel and Innocent. This gets added to my no list for Thierry Mugler along with Caprice de Star. ~ update ~ Well perhaps because I'm starting to come around to some salty beach time fragrances I decided to try this again. It's still sour to me, but I kind of like it now...interesting.

I agree the is a love child of original angel and chanel coco mademoiselle..I don't like either of them but I like this one..one of rare angel flankers that I like Lighter,fresher,less masculine,more wearable,more elegant and french version of original angel..there is a tart,fruity freshness added to original angel(bergamot and berries) Unique,delicious,naughty and playful version of chanel mademoiselle It also reminds me loewe quizzes passion,but again,a much better version ❤❤❤❤

I like this. I really do like this. As others have said, a fresher version of Angel. Patchouli and hibiscus, honey, with a touch of citrus - the other sweet notes stay more in the background for me, though the blackberry against the patchouli in the dry-down is divine. I find the original just a bit too sweet and heavy, but this is lovely - sweet, floral, light and fresh. A winner for me.

More playful than the original Angel. A nice take on it for warmer days and much less in-your-face so a good option for days in the office. An interesting choice for those of us who don't want to be too girly, but don't suit the more masculine fragrances.

If I were to get myself a bottle of Angel, this would be the one I'd go for. No, nothing like Coco Mad, it's like the original Angel made of natural ingredients - bergamot, a tiny bit of patchouli, lemon, red berries - just amazing!:)
