Mugler Angel Black Brilliant Star is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Angel Black Brilliant Star opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Jasmine, and Melon, settles into a heart of Red Fruits, Rose, Lily of the Valley, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Dark Chocolate, Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Mugler's Angel Black Brilliant Star carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Don't get mugged off with this. It's the original Angel in a fancy dress box that doesn't hold up. Seriously, save your cash for something worthwhile; this is a textbook case of style over substance.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Fall

Its sweet, fruity and vanilla composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

This fragrance is far too loud and sweet for an office environment or formal events, where it could be distracting. It leans into date nights or casual wear thanks to its bold, gourmand nature, but complaints about its longevity mean it might not last the whole event.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a full-on sugar rush, kicking off with syrupy melon and coconut, then quickly diving into a sticky-sweet fruit compote of plum and red berries, drizzled with honey. It's all underpinned by that signature Angel base - a heavy hit of dark chocolate, caramel, and vanilla, with a patchouli earthiness lingering underneath the dessert explosion.
