  1. It’s an absolute perfume bomb! Definitely my signature scent. I find it exquisite and I’m completely addicted. People always compliment it. I wear it more for evening than daytime, but it’s incredibly versatile.

    I’m not usually a fan of fruity scents, but this one captivated me. I thought it would be youthful, but as it dries down, a soft rose emerges, not bitter like in others. It’s consistent and lasts an incredibly long time on my skin, which surprised me. It’s different from everything else I wear and I love it.

  3. The scent isn’t unpleasant; it’s an intense, juicy, vibrant raspberry. However, I can’t handle the excessive trail and longevity. It’s too much, it follows me around and becomes irritating. I sold it for that reason. In summer, be careful not to overdo it or it will give you a headache.

    Incredible perfume, exquisite and sparkling fruity opening. It lasts all day with high projection. It seems perfect… but it has that very prominent Akigalawood note on my skin. It’s woody and sweet, making it hard for me to wear it regularly. I use it with the EDT to balance it out and prevent it from being so overpowering. If people compliment it on me. I’ve had it for three years and the last time I wore it, it didn’t feel as strong; could it be due to maceration? I hope so, as I’d like to wear it more. Many try to imitate it, but the quality is superior.

  5. I had high hopes because I love smelling of juicy fruit. I thought I’d fall in love, but oh dear, what a disappointment. It smells too artificial and strong; every time I bring my wrist close, it gives me a headache. It delivers on durability and projection, but personally, I haven’t liked it at all.

  6. A juicy red fruit scent. The opening is a sweet, citrusy, acidic, and fresh slap in the face, very red. It dries down harmoniously. It reminds me of My Wish Halloween.

  7. A rich perfume that always earns me compliments. It’s versatile and wearable in all seasons, mostly in summer. I had the original and it was more potent, enveloping and intense. The Fruitee version feels weaker, though it has incredible longevity.

  8. This fragrance left me head over heels. It’s something I’ve always wanted, I like it and it suits me perfectly. I wasn’t disappointed by its little sibling. The original Angel is rich, but this fruity version is delicious; it suits me brilliantly, lasts all day, and the rose note is strong. I have no complaints; it’s excellent. I have the blue box version.

  9. I adore it; I feel very wintery, but since it’s one of the few I always use, it’s a staple. Whenever I wear it, someone always compliments it.

  10. I have Angel Nova Fruitee (new reformulation, blue box). It has immense projection and longevity; people notice where you are and it lingers. My skin is dry and some scents don’t last on me, but this is a 10/10. The aroma: raspberry and lychee make it sharp and vibrant. I detect a very high note of raspberry, lacking creaminess, with a woody base. At first, it smelled like hairspray fixative, sharp and biting. Gradually, my nose got used to it and now I like it more. Performance is marvellous: I can smell it almost all day and people notice. Usage: all seasons except very hot summer days (40C+), as it becomes overwhelming. It works day or night, very versatile. It’s not my absolute favourite (I’ve had it for a year), but it makes me feel secure and present. Combined with its projection and longevity, I’ll stick with it. Reply to Pato2026: They are very different. Miss Dior Essence is like red fruit jam, sweet with wood. Angel Nova is raspberry and lychee with woods, less sweet, a sharper scent but not unpleasant. Recommendation: try it first, it’s intense.

  11. It’s my go-to fragrance. Imagine squeezing raspberries into a bottle with woods: it’s juicy, exquisite, and I always get compliments. The trail is brutal and I adore it.

  12. Hello! I need urgent advice before buying Angel Nova tomorrow. I already own Miss Dior Essence and both smell of berries. Is it my imagination, or are they very similar? Miss Dior is more floral and I love it, but I’m not sure if I’m about to waste money. Thanks!

  13. I discovered Angel Nova thanks to Tucci Incanto di Fiore and was hooked by its personality. Although it’s an amber floral, what shines on my skin is that sweet, juicy raspberry that gives it a bright opening. That intense fruit softens the dense amber and makes it more wearable. It’s outside my comfort zone as I usually avoid anything so sweet and potent, but I reserve it for winter when its warmth and trail are just right.

  14. It smells super fruity and delicious, but it’s nothing innovative or unique. What does give it extra points is that it lasts a long time, something rare for such a fresh scent. By the way, does it really smell like cat urine to anyone? I didn’t know that could sound pleasant…

  15. Angel Nova is a beast: super energetic, cheerful, and with a sexy touch that doesn’t go unnoticed. Very feminine, with that sparkling fruit sweetness that doesn’t cloy and a playful rose that gives it the perfect touch. The trail is brutal; you fill the corridor where you move, and it lasts over eight hours, even more noticeable on clothes. Whenever I wear it, people compliment it. For me, it’s a 10/10. I simply love it.

  16. It seems identical to Natura’s Dose de Humor. I got mine as a gift from the brand and feel ripped off paying Mugler’s price for something almost the same. It’s pretty, but to me it smells like spiced, sweet raspberries.

    Reply
  17. I love the opening; that lychee and raspberry are tempting. The rose is noticeable but doesn’t dominate; it blends with the raspberry which seems to hide but you catch a glimpse of it. The dry-down is what I struggle with most, as if it lacked a final tweak or a change in concentration. It’s not for everyone; the initial infatuation may not last the whole relationship with this fragrance. Try it before buying.

  18. I bought it blindly due to the hype… and honestly, I don’t know if it was the reformulation, but I didn’t like it at all. 😬 The scent felt too intense, so much so that (on my skin) it ended up reminding me of cat pee. To top off the bad experience, it gave me an allergic reaction. My advice: test before buying, especially if it’s the reformulated version. That said… it lasts and projects a lot. 🔥 I sold it without a second thought.

  19. It’s easily one of the richest fragrances I’ve owned; the lychee and raspberry blend divinely. It’s a super edible scent due to its fruitiness, very sweet, and lasts a long time.

  20. Recommended for summer, but I wear it all year round. It’s informal, youthful and sparkling, not for a wedding. Smells like lychee with raspberry, sort of jam or sorbet. Sweet, but with a woody base and an earthy touch. I love it: I sprayed it seven times and everyone has been hitting on me. Projection and trail are top-notch.

    Bought it blindly on recommendation for summer. Smells good, as the description says: lychee with raspberry and flowers. To me, it doesn’t smell sweet, but rather acidic due to the fruit. If you’re looking for a fruity-floral scent that lasts, it’s ideal. It lasts a long time, especially on clothes or hair ties. It gives me more night vibes, but works for both.

    It was my signature since 2019. Incredible longevity and great trail. Now I’m looking for another one that makes me feel the same.

    Vibrant, eye-catching and full of energy. Notes of raspberry and wood, very different from my collection. It steps out of my comfort zone. It’s characterful, daring, sweet, juicy and sparkling.

  24. It smells like fresh raspberry, but it doesn’t quite convince me; it’s already a common scent. It does have very good longevity.

    It has become my favourite. I adore the red fruits and the longevity. Every time I wear it, I receive at least one compliment. As an anaesthetist, a patient after eight hours of neurosurgery was the first to say how much they loved it and asked what it was. That was when I knew it truly SITS.

  26. I love smelling it on others: it’s cheerful, sparkling and attention-grabbing. On me, it’s terrible, but everyone else loves it. The longevity is excellent.

  27. Very rock ‘n’ roll, for a rebellious girl, far from conventional florals. It leans towards feminine unisex. The lychee is very noticeable and characteristic. I understand not everyone will like it. For me, it’s very overpowering in summer or spring (above 25 degrees).

    I ordered a decant before buying. At first, it seemed common, with commercial touches, nothing to make you say WOW. But it’s very rich. Every time I smell my clothes, I think of ‘Thank You Next’ by Ariana: fruity and gourmand. I’m not 100% sure, but they are very similar. It’s rich, but nothing unique.

    I ordered Angel Nova as a gift and now I regret it. I tried it at the airport (I liked it, I think it was the EDT version) and then in a perfumery. The second time, I had to ask them to open the bottle; I don’t like them dropping it without touching it, as if they don’t want to sell. They dropped it into my hand and I liked it, so I ordered the gift. Now I don’t like it as much. I love Mugler and this has hype, but the raspberry is artificial and overpowering. If you don’t own it, you’d surely love it. It lasts for ages, opening artificial and sharp, with rose and a woody base. I see it for day or events in autumn/winter; in summer it overwhelms. Don’t buy blindly, don’t do what I did with the 100 ml.
