tellbelle's Full Review: Angel Thierry Mugler Perfume 1.7oz for Women
ANGEL
Thierry Mugler has conceived an apt hallmark for his original olfactory delight:
A delicious new fragrance category called the “ORIENTAL GOURMANDS.”
ORIENTAL GOURMANDS?
What does that imply? In a few words—GREEDY FOR THE BEST.
WEBSTER DICTIONARY SAYS:
Gourmand: One devoted to sensual pleasure, with sensitive and discriminating tastes especially in food or wine; one who is excessively fond of eating and drinking.
Oriental: Of superior grade, luster, or value
Thus …
Thierry’s tantalizing introduction to the aromatic and subliminal qualities of Angel which proclaim:
“Angel … evokes the emotion of tender childhood memories together with a sense of dreamlike infinity.
Angel seduces us with angelic flavours found deep within the heart of our memories, as well as its sensual and passionate notes. Angel is glamorous and seductive, a combination of celestial, delicious, and voluptuous notes.
The bottle is a faceted, diamond-like star which seems to be carved from a blue sky.”
FACT or FICTION?
Have you ever wondered how perfumeries arrive at such loquacious descriptions of their aromatic creations?
Actually their adjectives are chosen very carefully—based on scientific fact—not fiction. Surprised? Aromas and their ingredients are carefully studied for their effect on human emotions, subliminal desires, biochemical reactions on our cell’s receptors, interactions with our bodily fluids; and if that is not enough all this is projected to innocent bystanders. The bystanders have reactions based on OUR reactions to the potions and the pheromones we emit after our assimilation of the ‘product.’ It is quite a science!
It must be realized, however, that everyone has unconscious reactions.
It has been suggested that if you are enchanted, mesmerized, empowered and transformed by a certain fragrance—but others are irritated by it—you may not be keeping company with kindred spirits! The insecure may be subconsciously threatened by your powerful attraction. That is why you may need two fragrances: one for your love interest and truest friends, and another for your business associates or workmates.
Definitely, Angel is a fragrance for lovers and secure life-long friends!
However, if you want to bring out the envy of your ‘rivals,’ Angel may be the perfect weapon!

Let’s examine some attributes of Angel’s recipe.
1.) Is the product tested on animals?
Says the company:
“No, our laboratories do not carry out any tests on animals. Our products are dermatologically tested on human volunteers. Furthermore, our products do not contain any animals byproducts.”
2.) Are any synthetics used in the recipe?
Yes, hedione and helional are modern synthetics which enhance the staying-power of the product, without the use of animal byproducts. Synthetics replace whale, cat, deer or beaver secretions found in many perfumes.
3.) How might I avoid perfumes with animal byproducts?
If you want to avoid animalics avoid the following:
Ambergris: secretion from the male sperm whale
Castoreum: secretion from the beaver
Civet: glandular secretion from the civet cat
Musk: glandular secretion from the male musk deer
4.) How might Angel’s ingredients affect me?
a.) Bergamot: Antidepressant: May relax or stimulate, according to individual needs. May uplift, refresh, encourage. May help relieve anxiety and depression, ease grief and sadness, increase mental alertness and correct emotional imbalances. May balance the activity of the hypothalamus. Anecdotal: May help rehabilitation from drug dependency
b.) Patchouli: Aphrodisiac, antidepressant: May relax or stimulate, according to individual needs. May diminish depression, anxiety, nervous exhaustion. May increase mental clarity, concentration.
c.) Hedione: Aphrodisiac
d.) Mandarin: Balancer: May relax or stimulate, according to individual needs.
e.) Vanilla: Aphrodisiac
f.) Chocolate: Antidepressant, Balancer: May relax or stimulate, according to individual needs.
g.) Honey, Peach, Mango, Apricot, Tropical Fruits, Meringue, Caramel:
All these aromas are ‘memory triggers.’ Most people consider them to be ‘comfort aromas.’
These are the lingering mid-tones of Angel—they are somewhat subliminal.
They transcend seasons—so you may feel comforted at any time of year.
5.) Might I be adversely sensitive to Angel?
Anyone might be sensitive to anything.
That being said, photosensitivity is possible if perfumed area of skin is exposed to direct sunlight.
Mandarin and bergamot have been known to cause photosensitivity.
Solution: Wear Angel in private places protected from sunlight; or perfume handkerchiefs, undergarments, insides of jackets and coats, etc. Never spray directly on cloth as staining may occur. Spray into air and let mist ‘settle’ on article of clothing.
My Impression of Angel
In my honest opinion, Angel is the very best fragrance in the world. Angel makes me feel sweet, sensual, delicious, satisfied and warm. When I feel that way—I reflect it in my attitude toward others. This draws people to me. Angel smells like love, comfort and satiety. Who wouldn’t want to feel and smell deliciously wonderful?
