Enchanted, Forgotten, Enchanted, SPLAYED
How often have I sneaked around you, you gorgeously plain blue bottle with the beautiful star. Many times over several years I have seen you, forgotten you, rediscovered you, been enchanted, tested you, was fascinated, but not completely convinced. But I never quite forgot you either. I wanted your content to please me just as much as your appearance.

During my autumn vacation in a small perfumery in Spain I searched the shelves for a fragrance to test. Not an exciting selection, but suddenly I see you. Sprayed, enchanted, again. An hour later you couldn't smell anything. Probably not sprayed enough, I thought. It was warm and I didn't want to follow a fragrance cloud, so I was very economical.

Recently, I felt like adding variety to my collection. You came to mind again. Should I buy you even though I wasn't completely convinced all these years? Reason won, I would bring you to me as a sample within the framework of an exchange package. Then I can feel you in all peace again on the beautiful tooth, uninfluenced by your beautiful facade.

Happily I welcomed you and sprayed you very generously this afternoon. It's cold, you can go for a little more diesel, I thought. On my skin you smell at the beginning mainly of a mixture of almonds and currants (which I already like so much about "Eve"). A wonderful combination, an incredibly delicious sweetness, but not a sticky one, but one with a fresh, light, carefree background - exactly this mixture has impressed me again and again, it is simply magical.

An hour later, in the open air, I sniff my wrist in raptures - I need a feeling of happiness on the cold, windy path to the tram. I don't smell you. Where are you? Where are you? Two hours later, I don't smell you. Three hours later: I don't smell you.

For whatever reason, you don't like my skin or vice versa. We just don't mix, you pretty blue bottle and me. Even though I'm very sorry. With this (non)durability on my skin you have gambled away. Now. Now. Really, I do. For good.

Hmmm ... "Whatever" springs to mind.
I’m not a fan of Angel but saw a good deal on this one and purchased a small bottle out of curiosity. Well let me tell you that I sprayed, I sniffed, and am now left rather dumbfounded.

What I got for the first ten minutes or so was a singular and very distinctly sourish exotic note.
My first thought was Pineapple, but nope, further sniffing and the penny dropped: what I was getting was a near perfect rendition of Passion Fruit.
Yep, I know, it’s not listed, but this is what my nose picked … VERY clearly.

It has now quietened down considerably and turned into a soft creamy and rather casual scent.
There is still a faint fruity-citrus note, but overall, it feels like a tame and shy skin scent. The kind of scent a generic body lotion would give soon after application.
In other words, you would be hard-pushed to offend anyone wearing this.
Disappointed that I am picking up zero Praline. Ah well.

I guess it’s ok for one of those days when I don’t want to wear a Perfume with a capital P, perfectly pleasant, but a bit dull and not much to write home about really.

Red berry jam swirled into dulce de leche ice cream topped with whipped cream and nonpareil sprinkles, chased down by a glass of vanilla Coke.
Although it is not nearly as difficult to digest as ANGEL, Thierry Mugler INNOCENT is one seriously sweet perfume. As in: red berry jam swirled into dulce de leche ice cream topped with whipped cream and nonpareil sprinkles, all chased down by a glass of vanilla Coke. Major diabetic coma material! Almost as sweet as By Kilian LOVE!

This is way too much sugar for one sitting, and it is not mitigated by the drydown, devoid of patchouli or wood, which might have neutralized some of the sweetness. The amber here seems more like brown sugar, and the musk like corn syrup. I really need a glass of water ASAP. Or maybe a quart, along with a triple expresso! Diabetics, this is no joke: if you dare to don this sugar bomb, have your insulin ready at hand!

I will say that Thierry Mugler does not skimp: his potions are very potent, and so if you're interested in unalloyed syrupy sweetness, he's definitely your juice man!

Angel minus the Skank Factor
Me and Mr Mugler never gotten along His Perfumes are always the same Plastic Candy vinyl skankiness Like Lady GAGA's Panties in a middle of her concert Performance
with Secretions of sweat mixing with Sweetness of Vanilla, Then Something came
Unexpected I Received A sample of Thierry Mugler Innocent his Numeral Flankers
from a swap from the other site a while back, Anyway i Thought Oh no an another
Plastic Fantastic Candy Rush but boy i was Wrong! I Finally tried it and i thought OMG It's about Time that Mr Mugler Created Something that i Truly Like
It Still had that Plastic Scent but It's Fresher Due to the Note of Bergamot and
Mandarin Blosson to Add a bit of Crisp Innocent is a Brighter and Movable then
It's Sluggish Opaque Angel,

Red Berries Gives Innocent a Juicy Boost I love the Interplay with the Note of
Black Current making Innocent Fuller and Succulent, Vanilla is subtle then his
Previous Fragrances Seems to be Diluted by the Presence of the Mandarin and Black Current but it's still is'nt out of the Neck of the Woods it's still noticeable, The Drydown turns Innocent from Juicy to Gourmand sweet due to Praline Is this your Typical Tween Gourmand not by a Far shot sweet as it is
Innocent is far to Womanly & Complex to be a Tween scent but nice for your Older 17 year Sister a Gourmand of a young Lady, As innocent nears it's end
With the Under Pinnings of Almond & Amber Finishes Innocent with a Dry Nutty Accord.

This is an Angel without the Skank. ;)

"You are your mother's child"
The progeny of the controversial, well acquainted and daring Angel. Granted, Innocent is the child of the chocolate-rich bitch that many love to hate... but not to be taken lightly. Innocent Angel inherited the very same supreme quality and incontestable sillage. Effervescent berries, blackcurrant jam, pralines and sugared almonds. Topped with sparkling citruses and dewberry. Though gourmand, Angel is rather moody and makes you think twice about wanting to get close. Innocent however is much more inviting, and entices one to get closer. It's very atmospheric, yet never invades or overwhelms. This review is not a comparison of better or worse, but a highlight of differences, similarities and distinctiveness.
