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 - Saintly Star EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Angel Nova - a fruity fragrance led by Litchi, Raspberry, with floral depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

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.

Saintly Star

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the fruity signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
