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 - Halo Nova EDP
Halo Nova reproduces Mugler Angel Nova's raspberry-rose twist on the Angel DNA convincingly at the top, but the akigalawood-benzoin base is softer and fades sooner than the original's dense, long-wearing dry-down.

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.

Halo Nova

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Autumn

The bright raspberry-rose combination suits mild spring and autumn weather, avoiding the heaviness of the original's dense base in summer heat.

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

A bright, confident fruity-rose that works well for casual wear and dates; less suited to formal settings without the original's projection.
