Angel Eau Sucree by Mugler

After searching for it for a long time I finally found this version of Angel. Honestly I’m not sure yet if I’m going to love it. It smells great when dry but the opening leaves me with some doubts. That patchouli doesn’t quite work for me. I tested it in the middle of summer with temperatures over 30 degrees so I’ll save the bottle to try it in winter; I think it will shine more in the cold. For now it has the DNA of the classic (maybe that’s what doesn’t sit right with me haha) but with a much sweeter and pleasant finish. And you might ask: why look for a flanker if you don’t like the original? Well because I love ALL of Mugler’s flankers life’s quirks and all. I’ll expand on this review in the winter.

I bought it blind… before I tried the traditional Angel and Muse, which overwhelmed me 😖. I saw many reviews of this one and decided to try it since it’s discontinued. Honestly, I have no regrets 😍. It has Mugler’s DNA but is much more wearable and less invasive. I love it.

Another Angel that I’m falling in love with… Sweet very fruity and delicious. Bought it blind and it was love at first sniff. Another Mugler perfume that’s staying on my vanity.

Love it; the scent seems like a mix between Christian Dior’s Dolce Vita and the traditional Angel… something like that…

I bought it on a trip to the south and I loved it. Definitely the simple, cheerful version of Angel. Sweet, fun, and with great staying power, you can wear it all day.

Angel Eau Sucree is special not for being revolutionary like the 1992 original, but for its joy and comfort. It’s one of the happiest fragrances I’ve ever tried; just smelling it makes me smile. The opening is dominated by meringue; even though it’s a heart note, I feel it all the time. The red berries are a minimal backdrop just to take the edge off and prevent it from being too overwhelming (it reminds me of a Chilean cereal called ‘Zucaritas’). Then the meringue absorbs some of the vanilla to regain vitality, leaving a scent of a freshly baked pie, crisp and delicious. Finally, the same patchouli as the original, but here the meringue dominates over a pinch of patchouli. She’s enchanting, crisp, and sparkling, with a cosmic joy that reminds me of Britney Spears’ Midnight Fantasy (both can give cavities to the sugar-sensitive). It’s a less transgressive, softer version of Angel, though the difference from the original is clear, so don’t buy it if you’re hunting for the classic. The price is reasonable. The trail is more timid and less overwhelming than the original Angel, but the longevity is good, just slightly shorter. Precious for cold weather, but be careful in the heat (don’t over-apply).

The younger sister of Angel a less rough simpler and friendlier version. Definitely has the Angel DNA with a patchouli that feels a bit mentholated at first but it’s not as strong here. It’s sugary and tart due to an overdose of berries (I detect lots of blackcurrants and raspberries) which reminds me a bit of Innocent in the middle phase and the base is creamier and more vanillic. It’s not as powerful as the other Angel versions I’ve tried but it lasts quite a bit on the skin; after a few hours the trail of the original hits me :D. It’s great… it’s super sweet fluffy coquettish and youthful yet still not cloying. I really like it!
