By the editors · 2 min readAngel Nova opens with a jolt of bright raspberry that feels almost neon—sweet and acidic in equal measure, immediately recognizable as a Mugler creation but less gourmand than its predecessors. The initial tartness quickly softens into damask rose, which here reads modern rather than vintage, kept buoyant by the lingering fruit rather than sinking into powder.
The benzoin base is where the fragrance finds its identity: warm and resinous, with a subtle vanilla-adjacent sweetness that never quite becomes dessert. It's smoother than Angel's patchouli intensity, more streamlined in its ambitions.
This is Angel reimagined for someone who wants the family resemblance without the full theatrical costume. It feels youthful but not teenage, playful but deliberate—a fruity floriental that wears lighter than its DNA suggests but still carries enough presence to leave a trace.
