Review: Angel Rose Perfume for Women by Thierry Mugler

When I first spotted Angel Rose Perfume for Women by Thierry Mugler at a local Marshall's I was pretty excited to see what this perfume would smell like. Initially the packaging was what captured my interest, and unfortunately you get a mouthful from store employees if you try to test the perfume to see if it is even worthy of buying.

I knew my mother was a fan of the original Angel perfume, so I figured I would go ahead and purchase it, if I didn't like it I would pass it over to her. If anything, I knew she would keep the bottle if she didn't like the scent. She just loves collecting oddball and unique perfume bottles.

The bottle came to just $17.00, so it was a deal considering most places online and offline have Angel Rose marked at prices up to $35.00.

The Scent:
 
Once home, I opened the alluring looking black box, and removed the bottle. The perfume itself can be seen through the unique star shaped glass bottle, and it features a tinted pink formula inside of it. It's really pretty in general, a bottle that is definitely worthy of keeping after the perfume is all used up.
The scent on the other hand made me want to gag. The initial spray was like spraying chloraseptic spray into the air. It had a very potent high note of toxic chemicals that reminded me of days when I was little, and sick, and my mom would shove the nasty green stuff into my mouth whenever I had a sore throat.

As the perfume began to fade out a bit though, the scent was more bearable. It had a manly zing to it though, and I did not at all smell anything that resembled a rose. It was more like a misty yet strong nostril catching herbal scent. Like patchouli and mint. For me, Angel Rose smelled very masculine.
I ended up giving the bottle to my mom, she on the other hand liked the perfume, but I think she just said that so I'd let her have it. Regardless, I was happy to give it away.

Overall:
 
You will perhaps love it, perhaps hate it. It depends on what you find enticing enough to buy. Before buying this one though, I highly suggest getting a test strip of it first before just coughing up the dough.
