Angel Fantasm - Eau de Parfum Rechargeable

TOTALLY UNISEX AND COMPLIMENTS THE MEN'S VERSION

I've been a male of the species all my life and a Mugler fragrance customer since 1992's Angel for women release, the men's following four years later. My lifelong love for Mugler perfumes 🥰 has never been confined solely to male designated offerings and includes an array of scents that were originally created for and designated 'Woman'. In my opinion no scent is uniquely gender specific because after all the formulation creates an aroma, a scent, a profile of different ingredients many of which might well be new to our nose, or simply a personal all time favourite. In my collection, and frequently worn are Mugler Angel, Aura, Angel fruity Fair and personal faves Angel Muse EDP and EDT. I now also have two 100ml refillable Angel Fantasm star bottles in my collection alongside their male counterpart A*Men Fantasm, and love both for different reasons and occasions. Mugler marketed Angel Fantasm fragrance as a morphing of the original Angel's patchouli accord into a new skin addiction of celestial bergamot and a juicy pineapple accord. Fresh coconut accord and patchouli essence with an indulgent blend of Madagascar bourbon vanilla, Fleur de Tiaré (Gardenia taitensis), or Tahitian gardenia, the fragrant white bloom from Polynesia💐 used in traditional medicine, cosmetics, and as a symbol of purity. Previously in 2021 Mugler Iced star had touched on the tropical pineapple and coconut theme, and similarly in 2021 Alien Goddess created around Top notes of Coconut Water and Bergamot; middle notes of Jasmine and Heliotrope; base notes of Bourbon Vanilla and Cashmeran. Here though, with Angel Fantasm the profile feels more serious, more grown up, cocktail like and gourmand. The notes and layers were listed as: Top: Bergamot, Pineapple Heart: Coconut, Fleur de Tiaré Base: Patchouli Essence, Bourbon Vanilla Infusion, Amber Unmistakably similar, though wonderfully different, both open with Bergamot, and to a degree citrus also, Angel using Pineapple and A*Men using Citrus. A*Men which is spicier with the inclusion of Pink pepper, and unlike a sharp black pepper, the pink variant offers a fresh, spicy, sweet element with a touch of woody undertone 🪾 As a man, if you love and wear the A*Men Fantasm variant, then what is not to equally love with the female Angel Fantasm version? This is so unmistakably similar, which makes both as easy to wear and love, but for different occasions. Angel Fantasm is in my opinion a marvellous take, an alternative to it's male counterpart, this time bringing that fruity, tropical vibe to the scent profile that makes it a spring and summer, fruity daytime wearing winner 🥳 For me personally, one to wear for my own pleasure, with a modest projection and sillage and very acceptable longevity, whilst the men's is a little spicier and more of an evening wear and cooler months. The tropical vibes from Angel Fantasm have truly worked their magic on my nose, and have me reaching for my beach wear! The Angel Fantasm works on my skin similarly to Angel Muse EDT (the fruity take on Muse), not in scent profile but in giving me that sunny day, summer citrus vibe that I love. The two are very similar and yet so very different, equally beautiful and both work very well indeed on my skin. I wear the women's version easily and happily, one that sends glorious wafts to my nose throughout the day and finds a place in my Mugler collection with ease. Longevity is on a par with the men's version on me, it is has a reasonable projection but soon remains closer to my skin. I could easily respray during the day or night should I wish, but I do so much like the subtle dry down. It is also one that I can decant into my vacant used rubber flask men's editions of Fantasm simply by unscrewing the refillable style caps from the 100ml star and the men's glass bottle and pouring via my fragrance metal funnel from one to another, or by purchasing the Angel Fantasm 100ml refill bottle and refilling my men's flask. That way I have the men's flask presentation with the two different options, male and female interpretations for me to wear as and when I choose, should I not want to keep explaining to friends why I have a women's Mugler refillable star! 😁 A great release, easily unisex, a compliment getter for sure and the female and male versions compliment one another perfectly.

Subtle, sweet, and sexy without doing a lot.

I was very skeptical at first because I am not a huge fan of the original so I wasn’t sure how this would go. Surprisingly, this scent smelled good from the first spray so I then tested on my skin and I fell in love. The sweetness from the pineapple hit first followed by the patchouli which I love, and lastly to round it out the vanilla and sandalwood give it the smoothness needed to create a sexy, deep, yet sweet smell that has you wanting more.
