Angelrose

I still remember it as if it were yesterday:

Back then (2007), I was out with Mom for a job interview for an apprenticeship in a nearby city. Afterwards, we strolled through the city center, and I was captivated by the perfumery there. In the window, there was a large advertisement for the latest Marc Jacobs fragrance - carefree young girls were hopping through a meadow in the spring sun.

Caught by the advertisement, we immediately went inside, and the knowledgeable saleswoman sprayed the fragrance on test strips for us. Bam - I was hooked. It was more of a quiet, delicate but still intense bam :-D

...Unfortunately, I can't pinpoint a specific note, but the fragrance truly smells like a daisy to me, or rather like the idea of how a daisy should smell: delicate, innocent, floral, slightly sweet. When I sniff intensely, I can sense the wild strawberry and the violet; there's also a hint of musk and vanilla. But overall, Daisy takes me anew each time to a lush green meadow filled with thousands of little daisies dancing gently in the wind. I can't help but dance barefoot along and hop through the vast green - but I make sure not to crush any flowers :-) Little yellow fairies giggle at the edge of the meadow and dance along weightlessly....

Of course, we had to buy the perfume right away. The nice lady also gave each of us a scented plastic daisy flower, which I found very cute. Mom and I then shared this first bottle, and I was so proud to spray this fairy-like scent every morning before school.

Longevity and sillage aren't exactly spectacular, but I must say that after a good 7 hours, I can still perceive the floral daisy with a bit of musk and vanilla very closely.

Thus, my fragrance (or addiction) journey began back then, as Daisy opened the door to the world of scents for me; it was my first real perfume.

Daisy accompanied me intensively until shortly after my apprenticeship, until my actual and still ongoing preference for gourmand fragrances began :-)

I rarely wear this innocent fairy flower anymore, but it's always nice because it takes me back to nostalgic flower meadows. Daisy will always hold a special place in my collection, even if the 100 ml bottle will probably last for decades.

P.S.: Unfortunately, the apprenticeship didn't work out back then :-P

I rushed into the perfume store this week full of anticipation to smell the new, pink "dream" from Mugler :-) So, spray shot march ....

At first, I noticed a slightly sour, artificial raspberry - the lychee note faintly in the background. My first comment to the saleswoman was, "I hate it ...(I am absolutely not a fan of fruity scents, you must know)." Okay - don't give up right away, I told myself and after a brief chat with the lovely perfumist, I smelled it again. Now the rose was slightly perceptible and I thought to myself - "Is this a joke? Is this a Mugler, after being devoured by the great Monster L?"

Sorry for my negative words, but if there is nothing positive to say - what should I do? :-( This scent really isn't worth being called a Mugler. It is so generic and interchangeable - unambitious and deliberately "mass-appeal," that it bends the beams. Any trace of uniqueness and individuality, which could be found in the old "real" Mugler scents, is sadly sought in vain :-( The typical Angel gourmand character, which I love so dearly, is also missing.

After I stormed out angrily and cursing to my car and smelled the test strip again, a slight woody note came through. I thought to myself - "Ah, that really makes the scent UNIQUE now!".

I am just disappointed and will treat all my beloved, real Mugler scents from back then as true treasures and enjoy them. I should have sensed the downfall of the Mugler era back then when the wonderful Angel EdT was replaced by the new EdT....

Just to conclude: If the great Monster L gets any silly ideas and decides to change my beloved signature scent Angel EdP and mess with it - then I will really go to the wall.

That's it now - kisses to everyone ;-)

I was really looking forward to Dita's latest creation^^. So far, I like her first work the best, Rouge not at all, and Fleurteese was also very successful.

From October 1st, I immediately kept an eye out for "Erotique" at the Müller market - but to no avail :-( Last week, I tried my luck again and found it: I held the beautiful golden test bottle in my hand and sprayed the perfume on the back of my hand.

ASTOUNDING! What is this? Very, very unusual, slightly harsh - but all in a negative direction. What is "erotique" here? I had imagined something in the direction of "Alien" - because this scent is truly "Erotica, Wickedness,... " in grandeur - but Dita, your latest work is more like "A Visit to the Spice Shop"! I simply miss the creamy, soft note here. Everything feels way too harsh without soft curves.

At first, I really perceive too much pepper. Way too strong and even slightly intrusive (I thought I would like this note, just like before with "Si Lolita" by Lolita Lempicka. Here, this note is beautifully complemented by the floral accents - unfortunately, not at all with Dita :-( ). My nose unfortunately picks up nothing from the rose and leather - everything quickly transitions into a very woody scent.

I really sniffed my hand for half an hour, but I just wanted to free myself from this golden "spice demon" that evoked anything but "erotique" in me.

20% for the very beautiful bottle.

Sorry, Dita. That's not my taste at all ;-) Maybe next time.....

Hugs and kisses

Actually, I was always the "floral" scent type. For a long time, Daisy by Marc Jacobs was my absolute favorite. So delicate, pure, and innocently floral.

But then suddenly Angel came along, and it was love at - let’s say - second sniff ;-)

The first time I smelled Angel, I think it was about 4 years ago. It was a sample from the perfume shop, and I thought only "uhhh - this sugary/sticky stuff - how disgusting!".

This year, a lovely colleague drew my attention to Alien by Thierry Mugler, and I fell in love with this scent after an initial shock. Then I browsed the internet for other Mugler fragrances and stumbled upon Angel again. So off I went to the turquoise perfumery and spritzed away! I was like dazed: Too much of everything - far too overpowering - Oh my God! But I couldn’t help myself and kept sniffing my hand all evening, and it was somehow extraordinarily extreme and stunning at the same time.

In the following days, I kept sniffing the soaked test strip I had taken with me, and this scent drew me in more and more. There was absolutely no escape^^ I was powerless! When I even dreamed that I bought Angel (and Alien), I went out the next day and bought both treasures, feeling happier than ever before to own a perfume. It’s simply indescribable, and I think it was just inevitable that I came together with this scent.

As for what I smell (I must say that I find it rather difficult to describe scents): It is definitely ABSOLUTELY EXTREMELY sweet. Then there’s a slight fruity + floral note (but just a tiny bit) and finally, this divine patchouli note comes in. When I read this mega list of scent notes, I was very impressed. But I must say that I hardly perceive many of the notes. It’s simply a scent that literally wraps around you like an angel. You feel cozy and comfortable, and always well protected.

Thus, Angel has converted me, and I now have a heart for sweet comfort scents (besides the beautifully floral ones ^^).

As you can see, I can only conclude by saying that I am glad to have smelled Angel a second time. It is THE perfume, and I want to have it around me for my whole life and let it enchant me. May I remain forever powerless because of Angel (which only refers to the scent ;-) ). ANGEL for you all!

Best regards
