I can smell the fig (here rather fig milk) very clearly in the new Angel, already in the top note. It remains perceptible until the scent fades away on my skin. Three years ago Thierry Mugler began the evolution of Angel towards a new audience. The original Angel was a powerhouse. With Angel Muse there was a distinct effort to make the aesthetic less confrontational while retaining that special Angel magic. This was achieved by altering the gourmand heart of the original into something much lighter. I thought it was a brilliant re-invention of Angel. In the years since the subsequent releases haven’t captured that as well as I’d hoped; until Angel Eau Croisiere. Perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur does that by following a similar recipe infused with insouciance. It is fruits leading to a more transparent gourmand, but this carries a glint in its eye. It shines pale pink like the soft magnolia, mildly doused in fig milk, with the melting praline to boot. Yummy !

I am perplexed by his powers of deduction, and have to stand still for a little while, completely absorbed in the memories of my cruises with my dear father. I'm coming to the end now. I know I got a little more excited about you ladies in this comment once again, but sometimes you leave me no choice! You women just drive one crazy!!! :DDDI don't even notice magnolia. Perhaps because very soon the chocolate note will be added. The scent is linear, which is to be expected with the scent pyramid. I hardly notice patchouli. A plus for those who don't like Mugler patchouli. All in all the scent composition makes a positive impression. It smells summery, fresh, fruity and in a good mood. Yes, it is simple, but sometimes it doesn't have to be complicated. I find that especially in summer such scents are very good to wear. They also have certain similarities, namely the "milky" accent. While Cruise-Angel smells of fig milk, Philosykos has its creaminess and "milky" quality through the fine coconut note. begins with me on the skin extremely fruity! I can smell mango, peach and a touch of fig... ( Please don't be frightened now!) This scent smells a bit like fruit juice to me:D But in a good way!:D For many people it may sound greedy (as we Swiss like to say:D) but it is actually mega fine:D Just test it even then you know what I mean!:D The coconut note I smelled on the test strip, I can't smell anywhere on my skin now... What a pity! Since I was very fond of the coconut note and the fruit combination... May not sound so nice for many people but, I had liked it very much:))) The chocolate note was SLOOD with me!!!! Not present at all:(((( I admit I was a little disappointed when I couldn't smell any chocolate note:( But good nevertheless I personally liked this fragrance the MOST AND BEST of ALL TM fragrances until now:())) It simply puts you in a good mood and with this scent you immediately feel like summer and lots of ice cream:D (Even though I have to admit I don't really like summer at all!) When the fragrance fades away, a light veil of patchouli and praline remains. This shows the relationship with the original Angel. The shelf life is okay for an EDT with about 3 hours. Yesterday I was there again with my grandfather in the perfumery, I wanted to test myself again. He also had a great desire to discover new fragrances and of course testing is much more fun when you're together:D Since the Gucci perfume shelf was next to the TM perfume shelf, this beautiful bottle immediately caught my eye! I was almost alone and almost about to buy this fragrance without having tested it before, just blindly... I know that's not smart! Good that my grandfather was there, he said he would rather test it before and then you can think about it again if you still want to buy it. Since I knew he was right, I first tested on a test strip. On the test strip smelled the mega, mega good! *.* I could smell a fine coconut and mango note which I also liked my grandfather very much:D Then he said come test it then but also times on your wrist ... No sooner said than done!

Somehow I can't believe it myself right now. For the first time, a Thierry Mugler fragrance convinced me! I admit that I have never really been able to make friends with any Thierry Mugler fragrance! Let's just say the original Angel smells like mold to me... Alien after a jasmine bomb... But this one is VERY, VERY different from the previous TM fragrances! It is not a new fragrance that would move the world, but it is still a delicious fragrance if I may say so:DWhat irritated me a little bit, to be honest, was that nowhere in the pyramid of scents here on Parfumo is listed coconut or mango... On the wrist the scent was then COMPLETELY different! And yes, I know that you can NOT compare a scent on a test strip and on your own skin, but I was also extremely surprised by my grandfather! To the base, the fragrance smells mostly as described. He is thus slightly fruity, spicy and sweetish (although he could seem a little bit chocolaty when smelling closely, but if it were not indicated, I would still never think of praline here).
