The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Angel Nova by Mugler, launched in 2020, is a reimagining of the iconic Angel from 1992. Created by perfumers Louise Turner, Quentin Bisch, and Sonia Constant, it positions itself as a more accessible and youth-oriented interpretation of its predecessor. This fragrance opens with bright raspberry and litchi, leading to a heart of damask rose that balances sweetness with floral elegance. The base notes of akigalawood and benzoin add warmth and depth, creating an overall profile that is lighter but no less captivating than the original.

How to wear it

Apply Angel Nova sparingly — its fruity top notes are vibrant but fleeting. Focus on the heart and base notes by applying to pulse points like wrists and neck for a lasting warmth throughout the day.
