Dreamy pistachio Angel

I love Angel flanker that keep the DNA of the controversial original and make it a little easier to wear. There have been many over the years, like the EDTs, most summer editions, Angel Liqueur de Parfum, the stunning Angel Muse... But also some that just don't smell like Angel at all, especially in recent years, for example the Angel Nova line or Angel Elixir. I'm not a fan of those, I think a legendary fragrance like Angel deserves to have flankers that smell like they come from the same family.

Fortunately Angel Stellar is one of them. It has the familiar sweetness and patchouli that I want from an Angel flanker, of course toned down a good bit. The earthy, sweaty parts of Angel's patch are gone, and I don't miss them. The fruity parts also less obvious. But the vanilla, a touch of cleaner patch, and the musky-honeyed backbone are still there, topped with a pistachio that has both crunchy and creamy facets. It gets a little less nutty and more angel-esque over the time.

To describe this in popular perfumes, it smells a bit like something halfway in between of Angel Muse and Kayali's Pistachio Gelato.
As I have both of them, I'm not sure if I really need this, maybe I'll try layering first. It's not as heavy as Angel Muse though - Muse is purely an autumn/winter scent to me, while Stellar is more of an easygoing all year gourmand.
If you like Angel flankers and pistachio, you really can't go wrong here.

delicious scent, incredible longevity and performance

I really love this version of Angel. The original formula from the 90s was something I could appreciate but not wear. Angel is a hallmark in perfumes for sure, but it is too sugary for me. Angel Stellar is that outstanding, unique scent profile, but without the sugary-ness and instead has a nutty, creaminess that is deeper and richer and I love it. It is patchouli to be sure, but not the health food store essential oil version (which is also lovely) but it's patchouli the way it's done in Coco Noir to my nose. Like date night, dressed up patchouli. I spray it on my skin on the back of my arm and can still smell it next day.

Flying squirrel reaches for the stars

when I read something about a patchouli blend, something clicks somewhere in my brain. It was the same here. I only read pistachio/patchouli and was, as always, very curious. However, I have to disappoint anyone expecting a fresh spring flanker here.
This fragrance literally cuddles you in.
How you might imagine it: a gloomy day and you make yourself comfortable on the sofa with a good book, hot chocolate and your favorite blanket and let the hours pass by, lost in thought in your reading...

The fragrance opens with tart, citrusy bergamot and immediately changes to nutty pistachio. The pistachio then continues with a delicious creaminess. Only later in the base does patchouli join in. It all fits together so wonderfully. And patchouli does not gain the upper hand for me. The pistachio cream is very present in the heart note. Only after a few hours does the tart/citrusy bergamot reappear and these "only three present ingredients" create a wonderful unity.

I tried the fragrance at work and it was a great fit for the time of year, even in this cloudy/wet end-of-winter mood (early February).
For me personally, it's perfect for the onset of spring on an early walk in the forest in the rising sun or when I'm in my I-pull-my-favorite-blanket-over-my-head-and-want-nothing-more-to-do-with-the-world phase or, like today, I just let the sun shine on my face, lost in thought. Wonderful!

A beautiful fragrance for me to just think about nothing for once.

For some, this fragrance may be dismissed as musty... so I advise anyone who is curious about this pistachio cream to test it first!

And another flanker..

i thought to myself when I saw the first reviews for this fragrance a few months ago. At first I wasn't interested, but when I saw this week that it was now also available from a large perfume store in Germany, I couldn't resist of course. I had also read here that it is supposed to be similar to one of my absolute favorites, Angel Muse. The main note is supposed to be pistachio, there was no way around pistachio in 2025, why not spray it? The bottle is beautiful, a deep clear blue. The fragrance already has something very nutty and gourmand about it, but I can't smell pistachio in particular. The base is then formed by nuts and the typical Angel patchouli. At first I was a little disappointed and said to my husband "Hmm, it smells almost like nothing". He replied: "Yes, it's very strong" (and opened the window in the car). Now, after a few days of testing, I can only agree with him: H+S are (fortunately) extreme. Will people queue up for it like they do for Dubai chocolate? I don't think so, because it is very special, which is a good thing. Despite the cheerful blue, it's definitely not for warm days, more of a cuddly fragrance for fall and winter. In my opinion, it doesn't come close to Angel Muse, which is a little nuttier and more complex, but it's still a very successful flanker.

Reminder of a well-known scented candle

Starts with bergamot, pistachio, a hint of smoky aroma I easily perceive, roasted pistachios?
This is followed by a soft combination of balsamic woods, probably sandwood, which cuddles with soft patchouli, you can smell this the whole time, then after hours a pleasant sweetness is added.
The perfume reminds me of Partylite "Africana", sandalwood-patchouli.
