Description
The new limited fragrance by the house of Thierry Mugler, Angel Liqueur de Parfum, was presented in August 2009, when the already announced perfume Alien Liqueur de Parfum also arrived on the market. The new fragrance with characteristic aromas of Mugler‘s Angel was created and transformed just like the finest brandy, which ripens in casks made of cherry wood.
This is not the first time that Thierry Mugler presents his fragrances this way. Let’s remember that Angel Caprice de Star and Angel La Part Des Anges, luxurious editions from 2007, were warehoused for 23 weeks in Remi Martin in order to gain special aromas.
Angel Liqueur de Parfum arrives in a characteristic star-shaped flacon and is packed in black-silver outer carton which contributes to luxurious seal of the house. The perfume is available as 30 ml for about $98. Its aromas improve in quality and sensuality while they ripen, so this magical elixir has all rights to be named “Liqueur de Parfum.”

I bought this at a warehouse sale, after smelling three different angel brand bottles. This smell is extremely sweet, and I think of caramel, juicy peach and baby powder combined. It was heavier than other Angel scents. Since it’s winter, I guess I was drawn to the heavier scent! I get whiffs of it every so often, and it is almost too sweet at times, then comforting at other times. I think it needs to grow on me. The longevity is much longer than the original, which I find fades on me after about two to three hours. I put it on 3 hours ago and it is still going strong.

UNISEXY !
Blind Buy ; but really … not …. because I’m Mugler-savy at this point. LOL.
Well- This smells like if A*Men and Angel …HAD A BABY ! You made this “gender-bender” happy! Great longevity & projection ! Great not-so-blind buy! I’m having a happy Monday !
Holms31 – :
I got this on a blind buy for such an incredibly good price, with the intention of reselling on PoshMark. I’m not a fan of Angel, or maybe Angel isn’t a fan of me. This is similar, but in every good way with none of the negative. I’m keeping this dark, sultry, intoxicating beauty for myself.

Dirty, stinky, sophisticated, amazing, addictive, deep, gorgeous, yummy, nasty, sexy, beastly…
Unlike anything else out there.
If you are not addicted to original Angel, don’t even go there.
VaranumeHaura – :
More sophisticated but not as addictive as ANGEL. I bought two bottles of this early 2015 and I have enjoyed the change. It doesn’t cause people to stop me and ask “what’s that wonderful smell” or “miss what fragrance are you wearing like classic Angel but it’s fantastic. I highly reccomend this for women who work in an office where people appreciate nice smelling people but where there are also complainers (boo) if I want to light up the room, I simply pair it with the Angel body lotion. Very dangerous combination!
MonstR1586 – :
Angel Liqueur de Parfum is the original Angel + A*Men.
In the men’s line, you have A*Men Pure Malt, Pure Wood, Pure Coffee, etc – this is A*Men Pure Angel.
Experiment this:
Go into a club wearing Angel, and you’ll leave the club smelling like Angel LdP.
Angel LdP is overall a great perfume. But since I am never a fan of A*Men (due to the cigarette-like smell), this is not for me.
I still prefer the original Angel – it’s just more lovely and truly angelic.

Angel Liqueur is a woodier, tamer, less sweet alternative to Angel EDP. The opening has the same tangy red berries & sharp radioactive patchouli. On the opening this scent is also very peppery-spicy & woody. Quite lumberjackish & masculine actually.
Over time the patchouli settles and becomes more cuddly blending quite well with caramel and more toned down berries. This version of Angel isn’t as sweet and creamy but still recognizable as Angel. I always thought it was a more pared down version which embraces a darker truer patchouli scent. The final stage smells softly of chocotely warm patchouli.
I get crazy amounts of compliments on this as I do with any Mugler scent. Good sillage although not room filling like the original EDP. The lasting power is actually rather short 3-4 hours
The bottle is my favorite of my whole collection. It’s to die for pretty but scent wise overall I think I prefer regular Angel EDP as its creamier with a more dynamic development
djbenis – :
After many years in search of my signature scent, I start to realize that I have several, depending on my mood.
Almost all of my favourites are signed Thierry Mugler. There is so much going on in his fragrances. So much stunning, sexy, comforting and nice!
When I wear this beauty it feels a bit like Back to black on me. The warm and boozy feeling is similar.
I just love the sweetness and softness of the flowers, dripping of caramel…mmmm
vroaoqxspzz – :
I had to delete my previous review. I really didn’t think I was going to like this. I can’t wear the original Angel and all I was getting was that same scent. Which on me was stinky armpits. I gave this a few more tries and I’m finally finding the sweet! The chocolate! The caramel! I am one happy perfume junkie right now…:)I am going to try the Taste of Fragrance next!
EDIT: Nope. I was wrong. This just does not smell so good on me. I have a full bottle (minus 4-5 sprays) to swap in the US if anyone is interested.
Poebyspeeno – :
I didn’t realise this was different to the normal Angel until I searched for it online and saw the different bottle. Although mine seems more silver than blue.. perhaps I have a gift set edition? Well, I haven’t been brave enough to wear it. But after sniffing at the bottle and reading the rest of the comments, I might have to give it a go. Perhaps on a special occasion at night. With heels on. Would not wear in an office!
tamara20101983 – :
Angel Liqueur de Parfum feels decidedly much more rounded and fluid than the original Angel. The patchouli doesn’t bite at the onset. Instead, it’s wrapped in the swirl of honey, caramel, and the deep, boozy fruitiness and woodsiness of cognac. The fragrance does have a sort of aged extrait feeling.
While the original Angel offers a big kiss of the surprising contrast of shrill patchouli and sweet dark chocolate and caramel, Liqueur de Parfum teases with a deep and irresistible gaze.
The sillage is moderate and the longevity is more than 12 hours. I find Liqueur de Parfum a very successful flanker, as it manages to offer a more full-bodied and elegant take on the theme, while retaining the key elements of the original Angel. I’d highly recommend it, even to those who are not necessarily fan of Angel.
димидрол1980 – :
To my nose, it’s like Angel, but with a noticeable brandy note that also has subtle dried fruit notes; as well, this version is a tad more musky, with less coumarin and lily-of-the-valley. It’s much “rounder”, “smoother”, and gourmand than original Angel in an after-dinner kind-of-way…. Glad I was able to find one.
erik8108 – :
Smooth and creamy warm vanilla caramel goodness. My nose accidentally touched the bottle when I was trying to sniff it so the liquid stuck there (purposely in that) and..I felt like licking my own nose (too bad it wasn’t possible).
So sweet and smooth and rounded. Yummy. Wonderful.
wjg – :
Does anyone know if you can refill this bottle? Obviously just with regular Angel once it’s finished .message me if you do
Iga187 – :
I find this version to be smoother than the original Angel. It’s warmer to my nose as well.I like it.
Timofey102 – :
I’m from Serbia and during the 90’s (when Angel was popular), my family (my mom, granny and I) didn’t have easy living, if I can express myself like that. Those were difficult times, when you barley had money for food supplies alone something like perfume. And my mother always loved Angel. She even had a bunch of replicas of it.
Anyway, times have changed, those miserable years are behind us, and i gave this little star bottle to my mother as a present :DDDD Her first real Angel. Well, not classic Angel, but something like it, only better ( in my opinion :D) Wow I can’t describe her happiness, my happiness… I was so proud of myself that i could afford to give her this, and very proud of her because she managed to pull us out of that misery.
That is why Angel is special to me, I don’t have to love it but I do, because it reminds me of my mother.
And this particularly little angel is devilishly chocolate 🙂
Hailey_fromAD – :
I’m definitely smelling a warm dark chocolate, Very nice perfume. Similar
to the original Angel, with deeper chocolate scent. I think I like the original better, but I’ll wear this as well.
Edit: I just
Looked at the bottle. It’s Taste of Fragrance Angel. No wonder why I get
Such a strong chocolate smell. Sorry for the mistake. I’m not sure how to
Put this review in the right section.
Danilow – :
The hunt for “my” angel is still on.
I love patchouli and I love heavy scents, and cognac? I LOVE cognac. Top notes are amazing, it smells so unlike Angel for the first 20 minutes, I thought I had found her. It’s tropical fruit/naughty punch and lovely patchouli, the bottle is very pretty. The price isn’t bad either.
Unfortunately 30 minutes in and it turns Angel-cat-pee on me.
Scrubbed this off with soap then alcohol and still some cat pee was lingering. I’m so disappointed that my skin doesn’t like any of the true Angels. We would have been so happy together…
greewusaste – :
The smell of this fragrance is a bit similar to the original Angel but on me the strongest smells are tropical fruit and cognac with a hint of caramel. Delicious. The bottle is nice but small, but I think we can keep it for a long time because doesn’t need to spray a lot, just 1 or 2 spray and it lasts all day. Very nice fragrance more for fall or winter because it is kind of strong.
helo – :
This smells a lot like the original Angel, but somehow I find it more wearable. I mean, I like both versions, so of course I like this one, but I think it’s just got a nice, subtle boozy note and it feels less “harsh”, if that makes sense. To be honest, I have noticed that I actually like Thierry Mugler’s flankers more than the originals. For example, I prefer Alien Essence Absolue and Liqueur de Parfum to the original, I prefer Womanity Taste of Fragrance, and I prefer Angel Taste of Fragrance and Liqueur de Parfum. Go figure. They aren’t THAT different, but they are noticeably more wearable, if that makes sense.
dmisem – :
The reason I got the Liqueur version is, that I was almost running out of my little Angel 15ml edp bottle and instead of getting another one of the original, I thought I’d buy the Liqueur version: “very similar to Angel, but darker, smoother, heavier…” sounded good to me!
This is a worthy addition to the Angel line, and in my opinion it’s by all means a “different story” than the original edp.
I think it’s fantastic to own them both!
The Liqueur version is definitely thicker, creamier and warmer than Angel edp, but leans towards being way too heavy for me, almost suffocating and too flat in the beginning.
Just when you think, “oh man, is this going on forever?!”, it becomes a tiny bit more transparent and the amber and woodsy notes finally show through. It’s becoming somewhat sweeter, but also lighter.
The main notes I’m getting are: plum, cherry wood, caramel, honey.
I don’t drink, but I imagine some cherry liquor to smell exactly like this…smooth and sweet, without any alcoholic sharpness.
Certainly, more suitable for fall and winter. And for men, especially men who are already wearing Angel edp, this one is for you! Even more so than the original, I think.
It’s not a sillage bomb, longevity is excellent!
I really do like this, I just wish there was a little more “spark” to it, if you know what I mean.
Evelyn_fromAD – :
So…I’m in love. I said the same in my Youtube review.
This is everything angel is with drops of sexy smooth gorgeousness added in.
Imagine angel, but thicker (in a good way) woodsier, smoother and more sultry. This stuff is liquid pleasure. I MUCH prefer this to the original Angel and have made sure I have stocked up good and proper!
This one is much calmer on the patchouli and amped up with gorgeous smooth cherry wood and slightly boozy notes. Sex appeal, addictive and it’s got me hooked.
HEAVEN!
🙂
Meuvu240intitytek – :
I generally find the Mugler annual variations on a theme somewhere between a stab in the dark and a Hail Mary pass. Every now and then, though, the monkey will type something other than gibberish.
Angel Liqueur de Parfum finds just the set of notes that modulates Angel’s tone of voice without altering what it has to say. Clearly boozier, it’s also more grounded and harmonic than the original Alien. The range between the higher, bright/loud notes and the dirt from the patchouli has a bit more padding to it. It’s still on high volume, but it’s modulated differently and makes you wince a bit less on first spray.
Angel’s thrill comes from its energized contrasts. Angel Liqueur de Parfum keeps all the contrasts in place, but loosens the binding on the corset a bit. The mania is gone, but the exuberance is still there. Where Angel feels like it’s perpetually on tiptoe and at peak inhalation, Angel Liqueur de Parfum exhales and stands at ease.
lhy634speagoessenda – :
I’ll start this off by saying I’ve never tried Angel. I actually bought this thinking it was Angel… aha. Guess I need to pay more attention. OK!
Even though the sillage isn’t very stong, only within an arm’s length, if even that… this stuff is very strong. Cloying, even.
This is thick, rich honey and patchouli. Then as it dries down caramel and alcohol come into the mix. It’s too strong for me right next to the skin… but if I smell it from farther away, it’s delicious. Sweet, thick honey, woodiness, patchouli, alcoholic. I don’t get any chocolate, sadly. It’s very powdery, too, smelling it makes me feel like I could sneeze. At the same time, though, it smells like something you could drink. I think I like this.
gdagraf – :
I was drawn in by the description that aromatic wood notes would turn this Angel into a more Oriental scent than the original. According to other reviews it’s also supposed to be more wearable. When I first applied it, it smelled mostly like a discordant mess. The original Angel EDP is notorious for changing with air quality. I expected the increased wearability to take care of this and ignored it for almost a year.
Now revisiting it, I’m delighted to find that it’s all it’s ever promised to be. If it’s fickle on occasion so be it. Compared to the original it’s more like the finished product with the original being the concept design. I happily wear the original, but Liqueur is more of a “generally acceptable” Oriental without sacrificing any of its uniqueness. The smokey wood notes aren’t smooth or soft, a definite plus. I prefer perfumes not to be too pretty.
But I’m still wondering if the composition was changed at all, or if the only difference is due to storing.
Pencil_Torch – :
The only difference I can detect on my skin between Angel Liqueur de Parfum and Angel is that Liqueur de Parfum is a little lighter on patchouli and more emphasis on the dark chocolate. Which is fine with me because I like it. I was told it smells like powdery chocolate on me.
mdma – :
Angel all glammed up and dipped in cogniac honey, drizzeled in earthy dark chocolate.. biting into the sweetest ripe fruits that are dripping with sensual syrup. Erotic in the typical voluptuous Angel manner..but this time deeper, darker, sexier.
Perfection.
Anaerlycrelty – :
Just got this one and i think i love it in some strange way!! Its not angel as we know it, its warmer, deeper and do i smell…civet?? Anyone else got that note? I would really like to see what this fume really contains! Its hard to pinpoint, at least for me, any specific note, except the lovely soft and earthy patchouli and maybe civet and incense! Maybe its the liqour playing tricks with my nose togheter with other mysterius ingrediens! Anyway, this is a lovely warm scent, so hot that it nearly burns your skin but in a good way! Dont think its so alike original angel or “the taste of” so you can live without it if your an real angelfan as me! Each one has its own personality! Angel original is caramel, the taste of is….cacao, and the liquor is burning hot, dark and sweet! Love them al!!! Thanks Mr Mugler, keep your imagination flowing!!!
fr.gosha – :
I actually found this scent to be a little rougher around the edges than the original Angel (which I can wear, but have some issues with–predominantly the “melon” note). Being a lover of woody perfumes and especially patchouli, I expected the Liqueur to be smoother and softer on my skin chemistry. It really wasn’t.
I would say instead it was deeper and darker. The patchouli note felt more pronounced, and was not as smooth as I expected. It did, however, dry down to a sort of unsweetened dark chocolate base, which was very nice, but overall the scent was very, very masculine on my skin.
I am guessing I just tested it in the wrong weather, so I will have to test it again!!
макси – :
Most predominant note …a strong honey scent….
then the warmth of liquor…congnac perhaps?
and a hint of coffee..
I think this version of ANGEL is much softer…
Mellow
and yes…as some have stated…much “More Elegant”
than the original.
well worth the price…Get it!
you’ll be pleased you did ..and be enchanted
by this scent as I am.
Jearcireclope – :
To me this smells EXACTLY like regular angel… I dont see the difference??? I’m sad, I was hoping for a warm liquery smell
EDIT – over time I’ve noticed a SLIGHT difference from angel. Something warmer, more powdery… less patchouli
Anyone who has tried both this and Angel Taste of Fragrance – is there a big enough difference to warrant buying taste of fragrance? I’m very tempted to blind buy, as there’s nowhere around here that I can test it =(
Orera – :
I would like to look at the main notes… Is there someone who can draw up a list, please? I’m intrigued by brandy-flavor and cherry wood…
Meeex796elipseskism – :
the best one out of every anger parfume!
oto-1-1-1 – :
I like all Angels including this one 🙂 very sophisticated 🙂 strong and sweet perfect for cold winter evenings 🙂
Олег1313 – :
Usually I hate Angel. But this was a gift to my mother and today was freezing cold at my house so I thought I should give it a try.
It warmed me up. Actually I liked it. I strongly smell honey, patchouli and dark chocolate. I think this version is softer and more elegant than the original.
For me it’s for those nights you just can’t get warm engough and need comfort.
scare_face – :
well i have news!! I have tried today the new limited edition fron Thierry Mugler….They are for 2011.First is Angel with cocoa powder !!! I wanted to eat my arm ! I think i might buy it…Next is Allien with salty caramel….i think that it is not bad , but i like first limited edition better.Last is for the guys ,it has a chilly spice in it…well i like havane and coffe better.Well i can say it was lovely and i like them all! BUT Angel with cocoa powder is the winner for me!
stas21 – :
I took a huge chance purchasing this because regular Angel does not work at all with my body chemistry. I was so happy I did, though, because Angel Liqueur de Parfum doesn’t burn off quickly and leave the same heavy oily fragrance that Angel leaves on my skin. I am delighted!
On first spray, Angel Liqueur smells like honey, brandy or cognac, red berries and sweet flowers. After about an hour, the scent mellows and the base notes come to the forefront: patchouli (not too much in this version), amber, vanilla, cocoa, and something powdery. Perhaps there is a bit of orris root in this mélange? The brandy and honey notes linger. Angel Liqueur is warm and expressive and could be appropriate for any woman who is confident and outgoing. This fragrance reminds me of winter holidays, but I do feel that it will also work in spring and autumn. I think it might be overwhelming in summer heat.
Sillage is excellent and on me, two sprays and the scent lasts all day. I’m so happy that I can finally join the Angel-lover crowd. This one works for me.
kuper-slon – :
I had to do it. I had to track this and own it. I’m already attracted to Angel, but Angel all liquored up… now I’m ready to chance this with my chemistry! Like none other on the market. Maturing perfume is ingenious, however Angel was already mature. To ascend higher has only made it wearable for men. I undoubtedly scored compliments. Sorry Mugler, I mark male on this one. I wouldn’t be drawn to a woman wearing Angel Liqueur de Parfum… well I would, but not in a positive sense. “Baby? You been drinkin??”
It’s marketed towards women, so they say it’s for the mature woman. The mature woman who is no longer interested in pulling men. It’s just kind of HARD in my opinion. I would never attempt to pull off Angel or any of the scents from The Garden of Stars but THIS… this called for me immediately after hitting my senses. Core of Angel, dark chocolate patchouli, secret musk, amber and charred caramel… an ensemble elevated by a magic liqueur.
Oh, and let me display to you the quality of this super fragrance. I had a sample vial with a dipper. I left it for months and yes it did evaporate, but only oil was left and due to the fragrance going back to it’s natural state, it was enhanced furthermore. Something like an elixir de parfum or deeper. I give it 10 out of 10 for quality, elegance and passion from the perfumer. Lasting power is a given! It’s Mugler!
Beeklymaymnbvoyz – :
Absolutely love this scent! Warm, soft, brandy, mild flowery scent. In the past I wore the regular Angel perfume and body cream but since trying this I don’t like the regular Angel scent. A friend of mine can’t stand Angel but loves this one. Much more powdery dark notes. After reading all the other reviews we seem to be the only people who feel this way. However I do agree with everyone else that it is WAY too expensive especially since this scent does not stay on me more than a few hours 🙁 With that said I will probably buy it again if the opportunity arrives 🙂
nikamjka – :
This one is a definite star! heck,im a dude and im mad about this one.most definitly a must try.spray it on you and smell for yourself,it has this unisex quality to it. The dry down is rather soft but slightly masculine for me. I wish they hv it in a bigger size. Note the pricey price too.
an0n1m41k – :
I bought this one blind over the internet. No mistake here, though, I LOVE IT!!! Like the original, VERY SEXY!!! Love the bottle with a clear lid!!
Ceftemainna – :
This one is even better than the original Angel, but way too expensive. I have to save a bit to buy this one. But the scent is simply gorgeous!! if you´re a fan of Angel this is a must have!!! The original Angel is my signature but this one is simply perfect creation! The sharpness and dusty smell is gone here and smell of cognac is irresistible!
zoldisk – :
This version of Angel is like a galaxy of STARS shining for centuries…if you would like to sample a dream in Heaven you should try this elixir…which is good enough to drink…?
vladimispicy61 – :
I prefer this to the original. It seems somehow warmer (if thats possible!!) and more well-rounded. The dry down is pure honey gorgeousness. And like someone else has mentioned.. seems less “skanky” than original angel!
lossfreak – :
I love orginal Angel but this one …I’m so sorry Thierry is not for me. I feel too much in my skin whisky and eucalyptus.
pbc845elipseskism – :
i love the original angel (disclaimer) so of course i find this one just wonderful. Some of the skanky notes are toned down and it’s a tad less strident than Angel edp, but if you like one you’ll like the other. strong, smooth and syrupy without all the patch (which can produce a b.o. note in the original).
vivache – :
If you love Angel then you’ll love this even more! It’s an earthier Angel and it’s just wonderful.
гуля_84 – :
Haven’t sprayed it on my skin yet but I’ve tested this twice on paper. It’s Angel but the harsh top notes are gone and it’s in the middle of Angel’s dry-down.
levimar – :
A prominent cherry liqueur note on top of an Angel base. Interesting, but too overpoweringly sweet for me.
shreker – :
it’s definitely for the maturer women, but i still like it! very strong – should be applied carefully, and i would recommend it for the evening use. I haven’t tried the original Angel, but i have Angel Rose and Violet and like them as well. They all have much in common: sweet and tasty, rich and warm! and the bottle looks nice))
45sweet – :
It smell very similar to the original Angel, just a little darker maybe, If I had the money I would buy it beacuse I love Angel and this version is nice too.
sokurkostya – :
I just recieved this on Christmas Eve and have been wearing it for many days and I hadn’t planned to try this one but,stumbled across it as a BONUS in search of Alien Liqueur and Pure Malt !!
That said ,I really wanted to like this one but,for me its just OK.Granted,I’ve never tried the classical Angel and cannot compare the two.
Something keeps telling me to wear it again and again ,but it never quite does it for me ,just barely missing the mark.As soon as it touches my skin I feel a bit breathless,then in an instant I start to get that joy that comes with a favorite scent,but,poof ! The good feeling is gone and replaced with sugary chemicals and as I wait for the drydown there is little improvement .
TOляHыч – :
First of all – I’m sorry to say, but the classic Angel is non-wearable for me. Too much chocolate and patchouli, too much everything, too much headache and too many people wearing it.
But the liqueur… it is more mature and elegant. A real piece of art in my opinion.
Lovely alcohol scent (like a rich cognac), mixed with eatable chocolate (but not overwhelming), vanilla, woodsy notes and a hint of patchouli.
The sweetness is well-balanced, it’s a very sensuous frangrance.
