Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Angel Nova EDP
Angel Nova is a showstopping fruity-rose with a futuristic edge. Boldly feminine, its juicy raspberry and litchi opening is irresistible, leading to a vibrant, 'super-natural' rose and woody-amber drydown that lingers and turns heads.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Crimson Star Extrait
A glossy raspberry and lychee opening over a full damask rose and a warm, woody-resinous base. Sweet, confident and made to stand out.

Season and Occasion Fit

Angel Nova

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Angel Nova's juicy fruits and vibrant rose shine in spring and fall, where its sweetness and warmth project best. It can be bright and playful for summer evenings, but may feel a bit much in heat or deep winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Best for dates and social occasions thanks to its sweet, bold trail and playful femininity. It can be worn to the office with confidence but may be too attention grabbing for sport or close formal settings.

Crimson Star

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

Sweet fruit, deep rose and warm benzoin are best in cool to mild weather, and the airy wood keeps it from being heavy.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Bold and bright, it suits dates, parties and nights out, and is a little strong for a quiet office.
