I once received a sample and completely fell for it. The opening is a boozy cherry, it smells like a freshly opened bottle of good Kirsch. After a while, the scent settles down and, alongside the cherry, I can pick up caramel, vanilla and sugar. In the base, tonka stands out clearly, supported by a subtle woody notes. Overall the scent it’s very pleasant, but not cloying. Projection reaches about an arm’s length, and longevity is average, around 4 to 5 hours. I find it wears best in the evening and during the autumn winter season.

This is my latest rendezvous with this fragrance. I blind bought it once before, and sold it almost immediately because it made me feel nauseous. Recently, however, a colleague at work smelled absolutely gorgeous and it turned out she was wearing Divine, so I decided to give it another chance. And I have to admit, the magic works.

The scent is sweet & salty and refreshing. In the opening, I get sweet watermelon with a whisper of sea breeze. Later, white florals appear with jasmine at the forefront. In the base, you can pick up sweet meringue, musk and little patchouli. The whole composition is sweet but not sickly. Longevity and projection are very good, fragrance leaves a lovely trail behind and lasts on my skin all day.

In my opinion, this is one of the better combinations of cinnamon and patchouli. The fragrance opens with a lightly spicy cinnamon note, and after a moment a gently resinous patchouli joins in with a touch of vanilla. The base is sweet, woody and slightly earthy. Moss, labdanum and musk create a perfect backdrop for the honey and amber. The scent is warm and enveloping, yet it never feels sticky. Longevity is between 7 and 10 hours, and the fragrance fills the room.

The opening is sharp, a fizzy mix of cinnamon and coriander. After a while, a patchouli note joins the ever present cinnamon, with a touch of resin. Only in the base do the cinnamon and patchouli finally calm down, allowing the vanilla, incense and amber to come through, and that stage is genuinely pleasant.

Unfortunately, this tiger and I won’t be getting along. For me, there’s simply far too much cinnamon and patchouli here. The fragrance resembles Cherry Cola by Paris Corner, which is likewise heavily dominated by cinnamon. Longevity is around four hours, and the projection is moderate.

A sweet, fruity floral on a woody amber base with tonka and vanilla. It opens with a yummy cherry and almond note, which after a while gives way to jasmine. In the base, the vanilla and tonka are clearly noticeable, giving the impression of a syrupy, dense composition. Longevity and projection are very good on my skin; the scent fills the space, so I would recommend it more for the evening and the autumn/winter season.

imo, this is a unisex fragrance, but then again, I’m the kind of girl who wears TF Noir Extreme and Ombre Leather. This was a blind swap for me(swapped my Narcotic Delight for Pegasus), so I had no idea what to expect. Pegasus opens dry, sharp and slightly metallic, but after around twenty minutes it settles into a soft almond vanilla scent with a hint of lavender on an amber woody base. If you’re expecting a fluffy, gourmand almond vanilla frag, you’ll be disappointed. It also leans slightly masculine, so it’s not a safe blind buy for women unless you’re confident you can pull it off. Sillage and longevity are very good , it lasts all day on my skin.

Appetising but not overly sweet. The composition opens with banana drenched in rum, with a touch of cinnamon and orange, but thanks to the davana note the banana smells more green than fully ripe, which makes the fragrance more interesting.

Next comes a date note lifted by a hint of amberwood , threaded with a light floral accent. The base is gently saffron-tinged and resinous, with a touch of musk, sweetened by caramel and vanilla. It’s an enveloping scent, but without excessive sweetness.It shares a similar theme with Banana Flambee by Demeter, but that one is, in my view, rather cloying, whereas Ambrosia is much easier to wear. Projection reaches about an arm’s length, and longevity is around 6–7 hours.

Pure French opulence in a bottle. It opens with a sweet, honeyed melon, cut through with a light, tart blackcurrant note. After a moment, the mimosa, lilac, lily of the valley and peony come through, an intoxicating floral cocktail, like a garden paradise at dusk.

The woody balsamic base with a touch of vanilla makes the scent smooth and distinctive, but not overpowering. The newer batches are a pale imitation compared to the older bottles. For me, Champs Élysées has a similar vibe to Dahlia Divin Nectar and Poème. Longevity and projection are very good, though I do have an older batch.

The name here sounds like a  prophecy because I genuinely have no idea what the nose behind this fragrance was trying to achieve when releasing this… masterpiece. I have already tried to conquer this invention several times, and every time I get the impression the perfumer simply threw a few ingredients into a bowl and thought, f*ck it,I will wing it somehow. It starts off slightly citrusy, but quickly turns into a raw, dry and synthetic scent, straight out of the cheapest air freshener on offer at hour local bargains shop. In theory, it’s supposed to boost other fragrances. In practice, no matter what I layer it with, on my skin it smells cold, bland and completely without character. Is it a safe blind buy? Absolutely not. Would I buy it? Also no. Or perhaps I simply don’t understand this fragrance.

My relationship with this fragrance, much like with the original Angel is a classic love/hate story. It’s a sweet scent with plenty of chocolate, but I wouldn’t call it a typical gourmand, as there’s a huge amount of patchouli and woody notes running through it. It’s a very distinctive, slightly quirky composition, definitely for those who enjoy bold fragrances. As much as I love stronger perfumes, I have to be in the right mood to wear this one, because the patchouli is so prominent that it can become tiring after a while. As with most Mugler perfumes, the longevity and projection are very good, although not quite as powerful as the original Angel. It’s definitely a fragrance for the autumn and winter season.
