Left Coast Nose 1 (Page 7)

-It disturb me, intoxicate my air, and half of town (PARIS & around) metro and buses and make agressive people !!!like cat,when he want to "mark" his territory!!!!(i prefer the cat piss,its more natural )I'm joking !but not so much! please an antidote ,and quick!!!!!

-This stuff reeks; really nasty!! Like chocolate laced with b.o.

-I apologize in advance to all you Angel lovers out there, but this scent is an atrocity IMO. It actually makes me kind of sick when I smell it, even on others. I normally like patch, but coupled with that horrible sweet candy smell, it just gags me. I find it has a stinky feet or dirty sweaty socks smell in warm weather, and a candy-counter theater smell in the winter. I really couldn't hate a fragrance more! UGH!

-Based on the notes and reviews, I thought I would love this. No. It smells like a scented 'my little pony' I had when I was little. Blech. Thank god I sampled first!

-Vile! Like so many others, I expected something extrordinary and delicious from this fragrance, especially after Luca Turin raved about it as a new classic. But oh my word, was I surprised.

-On me? Absolutely unwearable with a suffocating sillage that was pure Eau De Candle-shoppe. A frightening and cloying melange of churn inducing molecules all competing to see who could be the first to make me lose lunch. All I could do was scrub vigorously with lemon soap and then apply a heavy layer of Bandit over the remaining goo-residue in hope it would be whipped silent.

-On me it split into two distinct and simultaneous halves; a sweet, super-girly top with an undertone of hairy-chested seventies super-butch aftershave. Remarkable, for sure, but not in the way I'd anticipated. Boy did I regret spraying it on my wrist. It certainly has staying power.

-My first reaction upon testing this was YUCK!!! I have to say gourmand's or floral gourmand's have never really been my thing. On me Angel smells like cotton candy that has been marinating in cough syrup all day in the hot sun. It did last a long time and I finally couldn't take it and scrubbed it off. To me Angel is a bit similar to Lolita Lempicka EDT (which I also despised).

-Has everyone gone mad? How can this be a hit? I don't understand. First, have you ever smelled the hair of a little boy, about nine or ten years old, after he's been running and playing and sweating all day? I mean a little boy past the "baby sweet" smelling stage, and before he gets to the age where he starts caring about hygiene. Okay, take that smell and add some blue vanilla sno-cone syrup. That's the first impression of Angel. Sweaty, dirty and syrupy. It rapidly loses the greasy kids hair note (thankfully) and becomes an oily, buttery sugary thing...makes me feel like I need to wash my hands, because they should be sticky. And then it dries down to a sugar cookie dipped in milk. Overall, makes me feel like I need a bath really bad. All this, from a lover of both chocolate and patchouli. I'm mystified by the attraction.

-Based on the name and the bottle and the level of popularity, I assumed smelling Angel would be a lovely experience. This was not the case! I was so disgusted and told the lady at the counter that it smelled like mold; she pointed out it might be the chocolate and also insisted that men find it irresistably sexy. I can't imagine why? Too strong, too moldy, too icky, not clean, and nothing like what a I would like to smell like! I just don't understand all the hype for all these years!

-If I got up on a hot summer day, took a shower, cut open a grapefruit, poured a lot of sugar on top, then rubbed this in my armpits, by the end of the day, I think I would end up with Angel. I would not mind smelling this on someone else, but not on me. Having heard of how popular this fragrance is or has been, I know now to be very careful about what I hear. The bottle is beautiful and with the name Angel and all the talk about it, I expected something at least wearable now and then. I will definitely pass on this one.

-Ahhh, what horrid memories I have of this dreadful scent! My mum tried wearing this for several weeks when I was a little girl, and oh how I hated it!!! The first thing that always came to mind was b.o. plain and simple! It smelled like a consctruction site full of hairy, stinky men had been bottled and sold as Angel. I finally had to beg my mother to quit wearing it, and she quickly returned to her signature scent, Picasso. I really can not understand how anyone could find this scent at all appealing! Do NOT buy!

-So:::not:::me. This is pastel-colored white chocolate after-dinner mints. In no way does it resemble dark cocoa. It is sweet, girly, giggly. And fluffy. Did I mention sweet? Canned pineapple and shredded coconut ambrosia salad. Constructed of artificial candy flavors in the complete absence of natural fruit. A wall of scent assaults me, airy but heavy like the aroma of hot sugar at a carnival. There is no relief from the melting sugar, no earthy base to rescue me from the cloying sweetness. It goes on and on, mind-numblingly cheerful and swirling like lights on spinning rides, with pop music blaring from speakers, and laughing, screaming people riding around and around. Stop the ride. I want to get off. Please. Give me the gloom of incense, the mustiness of real patchouli, the snap of leather, the cool green of galbanum, the crisp rustle of vetiver. I am a grown-up. I know the world. There is no going back.
Angel? Little Angel? Daddy's Little Angel? Consider the connotations. No spirituality is to be found here. To what kind of angel are we referring?

Oh, how I hate this one (sorry). But to me it smells completely like white woolly mold (Mucor on a wet gingerbread) - maybe that is the "Angel". Instant migraine.

Other opinions:

Could have spent the money on Toilet Duck. Recently I have noticed many women wearing a revolting perfume. I rate it on the list of foul smells almost joint top with Poison; another strong perfume of past popularity. I asked a girl at work what she was wearing, not to compliment her as she assumed, but to find out what was that sickly smell. "Angel, isn't it lovely" she replied. Not something from the sophisticated perfume houses of Dior, Chanel and YSL then. It is so pungent, invading my privacy with a stink reminding me of 70's freaky clothes shops, unwashed hippies and toilet cleaner. Dogs on heat might love Thierry Mugler Angel.

Women seem to marinade themselves in this vile scent! At first whiff this scent seems OK, if not a bit too sweet and sickly in a heavy heady sort of way, but then it starts to poison the respiratory system...death seems imminent, and actually quite welcome! I have had the displeasure of being in the same room as Thierry Mugler Angel perfume, and it was all I could do was not vomit from the migraine attack that it gave me, not to mention the asthma attack!! It should come with a health warning on the bottle!! I detest this perfume with a vengeance - it's OK ME not wearing it, but I wish people who wore it would stay away from me!!!! ARRGGHHHHHH!!!

Theirry Mugler Angel smells like bug spray and the scent(odor) lingers. I had to find out what this nauseating scent was so I could avoid it all costs,a woman at work wears it and we all feel as if someone sprayed insecticide in the salon. It could be that it just doesn't work with her body chemistry but I can always tell when she has been in a room, it just reeks. I would not recommend that anyone subject others to this scent. I pray that Angels don't really smell like this.

This has to be the most wretched oily smell. I tell you it is something Mr. Clean would develop to get rid of anchovie smells in case the anchovies rotted in a hot cellar. Please. The thought of beautiful women putting Angel's wretched oil on is repugnant. The smell does not go away! My sister lent a leather jacket to her best friend for a trip to Europe. She wore Angel and the jacket had to be thrown away in the trash because of the stench. Angel is perfume mixed with petulie oil, which is a naseaus, pungent, overpowering stench! Perfume is "not supposed to enter the room before the lady and not to stay after she leaves." When my mother comes to visit with Angel on, I can follow the stench where she has been in the house. Please! Women! Perfume is supposed to be a subtle thing! Angel smell is stronger than ammonia and bleach!

Vile, vile, vile! The cloying sweetness of tinned fruit in syrup and buttercream icing. I was expecting something rich and deep and mysterious but found nothing more complex than blue cotton candy.

The whole idea of Angel is cute. The name, the bottle, the dessert notes. Unfortunately, when you actually smell it, it's pretty bad. To me, it smells just like the fake, sour chocolate you would smell from a scratch and sniff sticker. I have yet to find a good chocolate perfume. Masaki Matsushima's Chocolat has that scratch and sniff sticker thing going on too. I'm looking for a rich, intense, salty kind of chocolate. Oh well. I didn't expect much anyway, since it's so popular :P

Definitevely not for shy girls.. It reminds me pink sugar cotton you can buy in Fairs and local parties.. Strong and invassive but enigmatic as well. Like a bad nightmare.. You assume a lot of ego pouring this scent on you although you get no distinction because lot of girls use it.. Thierry Mugler has become the number one on statistics type "you can love it or hate it" For girls assuming the idea of being distinctive as well as sweet I´d better try Gucci´s Rush or Rush 2

Don't buy it without trying it. I can wear Narcisse Noir, Opium, Obsession, and heavy florals/florientals are my absolute fave. Angel smells totally rancid on me. I can't even wash it off today

This fragrance seems to be created in order to solicitate the gluttony of a stupid, overweighted, marshmallow compulsive eater. An unforgiveble offence to good taste and style.

I have a couple of Angel dupes that I find absolutely delicious, but I was dissapointed with the original. It starts out nice, sweet/creamy/spicy/fresh, but in the drydown it's much more thin and flat and stale than the dupes. It has that cool, perfumey vibe and is almost green rather than gourmand. It might be the patchouli I don't like. I much prefer A Men which has the full, round body of the dupes

Smells like 1000 calories a spritz. It's too over the top , and this from someone who loved Poison when it came out in the 80's! Angel is the only fragrance that actually gives me a headache if I am in the company of someone who is wearing it!

-I find this interesting in light of the fact that Angel is the only perfume I have ever experienced an allergic reaction to. I love perfumes and perfume oils and have used hundreds in my lifetime, but I could not abide Angel on my skin for longer than an hour. I had to take allergy medication and shower to remove it. I was unhappy about it since I thought the fragrance was very nice. I had received Angel as a gift from a friend, and she felt so guilty that she had given me a perfume that I was allergic to! I wonder if there is any ingredient in Angel that is not a normal perfume ingredient? My strange reaction to it makes me think so. Of course it's just speculation on my part, but hearing this news makes me wonder again.
