MUGLER Angel Stellar Eau de Parfum

Frankly, this scent or packaging isn't for me. The strange shape of this bottle takes up far too much room on my perfume shelf since it lays horizontally rather than vertically. I will say that the scent does project, but it's extremely sweet. Reminds me of a particular cotton candy perfume that came out a few years back. My husband stated "how can you smell like a teenager and a grandma at the same time?"

I was lucky to be chosen to receive this product for free in exchange for an honest review. The moment I spritz Angel Stellar Eau de Parfum, I'm wrapped in a warm, bourbon-vanilla embrace. This creamy, almost powdery scent carries a touch of nutty pistachio, which quickly gives way to a fresher, lighter aroma. About 10 minutes in, the bergamot takes center stage, eventually settling into a rich amber vanilla gourmand that lingers for hours. It's sweet without being overpowering, offering the cozy comfort of a cashmere sweater on a chilly evening. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous, but I wish it stood up on its own. And did you know the Angel and Alien fragrances all come in refillable bottles? You can buy a refill bottle online for a bit less than a new one, or if you live near one of their stores, you can refill it in-store. While its sillage is more intimate compared to the original Angel, it still lasts most of the day, surrounding me in a gentle, inviting warmth.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I wasn't sure what to expect, but this perfume really surprised me. It's warm, cozy, and just makes me feel good every time I wear it. The star-shaped bottle is so pretty and looks amazing on my shelf. It lasts all day and gets me compliments too!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Large bottle of perfume. Has a nice scent to it but not too over powering. Bottle is a little different but adds character to it. Has a nice spray and doesn't go everything.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] However, please don't dismiss my review. I take honest reviewing seriously as it helps others decide if a product might work for them. The salty-sweet pistachio combined with the not so overly saccharine note of vanilla bourbon, it's a gourmand scent lovers dream. The sweetness is cut with the top note of clean, citrusy bergamot, a fantastic mood elevator. Angel Stellar also has an amber, earthy quality, making it comfortable, like wearing a cashmere sweater while drinking chai tea. It walks the tightrope between rich and light, edible and woodsy, sitting by a fireplace and sitting in a beach chair. Also, something I'd like to see from all perfume companies, the bottle is refillable. Now, the bottle. It's very pretty and unique, but poorly designed; it lies flat, taking up far too much room. You can buy a small, clear acrylic stand to place it upright, but that isn't even as straightforward as it sounds. Something should have been provided with the perfume so it stands upright properly. Living in Manhattan, space is golden.
