Product Review: Angel's Newest Sweetness

I've been wearing Thierry Mugler's signature scent, Angel, for about 20 years now. No joke. It's my all-time favourite scent; I adore the sweet offerings, the tickle of vanilla and soft powder. Angel is not overpowering, yet distinct; it's become a recognizable favourite for many worldwide.

I've attempted to try other fragrances -- they just don't do it for me. They either give me a headache or are too robust to be wearing to work. I prefer a hint of gentle fragrance.

This winter I was fortunate to be able to try Thierry Mugler's 2016 Limited Edition Angel Eau Sucrée. Based on its name, I assumed a sugary sweet fragrance; I wasn't sure I would like it.

I was wrong. I love it.

In comparison to Classic Angel, the two are similar, but not identical. Eau Sucrée is sweet, yet seductive. And while some people have said Angel is strong, I find Eau Sucrée is lighter and less formal -- like a warm spring day. I love to wear Original Angel to weddings and sophisticated evenings out, and Eau Sucrée is slightly more playful, like a garden tea party, if you will.

I'm thrilled to be adding this new fragrance as a sidekick to my loyal favourite. It's become my new daytime go-to scent.

You can get Angel Eau Sucrée at Sephora, Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Boutique and The Bay, among other retailers.
