Angel Fantasm

Haven't seen anyone else say this, but in the dry-down (hot, humid weather here today) there is a faint whisper of Womanity! I also totally get what some have said about a "medicinal" note. Only my first day sampling but feeling a bit meh! about this one. Glad I only purchased a sample and doubt I'll go for the full bottle.

sweet coconut with the weird sharp og Angel dna but in the best way possible 🥥

It smells like an old candy, in the old candy shop, in the old mall. Luv the coconut in this

Back in the early 90’s I was a broke single mum. Up to that point I had generally worn oriental perfumes such as Opium, or Coco Chanel (when I could afford them) as the only other alternative was floral scents, which I associated with older relatives. The first time I smelled Angel I was completely blown away - I used to spray the sample in my local Superdrug down my rollneck jumper and spend the rest of the day with my nose buried in my jumper. Once I was not so broke, it became my signature scent, and I wore it for years, it’s the smell my kids associate with me. At some point though, it just felt too young, and possibly as a result of reformulations, smelled louder and more harsh than I was comfortable with. So Angel became a thing of my past, until Fantasm came along. I tried Stellar and Fantasm at the same time - hated Stellar (way too sweet) but fell back in love as a result of Fantasm. To me, Fantasm smells like the Angel of the 90’s that I loved so much. Fantasam smells like the current og Angel about 8 hours into the dry down. It’s beautiful, and I really hope it’s never discontinued.

opens with coconut, slight fruity freshness but no pineapple detected. really sweet amber heavy fragrance with a drydown that goes minty but in its final form, becomes a creamy vanilla. patchouli is what keeps it mature

I'm pretty new to the perfume world, only ever having used one or two brand name perfumes in the past. I recently ordered a bunch of perfume samples, and this was one of them. I wasn't expected to be transported back 19 years to when I was 15 years old. All this time I had remembered the scent of my boyfriend at the times cologne I had no idea what it was I don't think I ever asked, and always wanted to know so I could buy it for myself... This was it. I don't know what fragrance he was wearing, but it smells just like this, this is the scent I've been longing for for nearly 2 decades... Goosebumps and tingles through my body as I re-experienced my teenage years in the early 2000s. For me this is a narcotic, a mix of warmth and sharpness, drying down to a dangerous creamy vanilla coconut. It has so much depth, and is so powerful yet so comforting, both for the scent and the nostalgia.

I had never smelled the original Mugler Angel before. I decided to choose Angel Fantasm because I wanted something a bit more unique and less popular than the classic Angel. Even though I bought it blind, I ended up loving it. To me, it’s a rich and intense fragrance, yet it still gives off a distinctly summery vibe. The main notes I can pick up are patchouli and a creamy coconut accord. The longevity is excellent—I can still smell it on myself for 10–12 hours. Strangely, after a while it seems to disappear from my clothes while lasting even longer on my skin, which is the opposite of what usually happens with most perfumes. The projection is also impressive. People around me often tell me they can smell it before I even arrive, and that it easily fills the room I’m in. Overall, I think it’s a beautiful, modern summer fragrance with a strong presence.

okay so update. the new EOS beach waves lotion (pineapple, coconut, tiare flower) layers with this so exceptionally well. the lotion lets the top notes of fantasm linger waaaaaaay longer before that beautiful vanilla bourbon base radiates through. I also found that layering this with tihota by indult takes this to another level and accentuates the vanilla bourbon. my coworker said i smelled like a bakery. literally mouthwatering combo

On me this is woody and a little leafy with lots of chocolate. The coconut is more like the husk than the flesh so it’s not too sweet. Not getting any pineapple but it’s still nice, just not what I was expecting.

straight out of the box, this smells off putting in the first couple of minutes but it quickly turns pleasantly boozy(or juicy?) and chocolatey on my skin. thats what it smelled like in the heat, but when i tested it in the winter time i could only smell amber. to me its patchouli’s tamer in hotter temps, making the other notes stand out. the floral note(s) hold it back from smelling completely gourmand and i don't really mind that. weirdly enough it does remind me of hypnotic poison, but a version that’s appropriate for summer. it doesn't smell preppy despite the tropical notes and its freshness reminds me of men's perfume. it smells grungy so i'm really into it. ill be using mine regularly EDIT: the dry down consistently gives off the smell of the original EDP wayy more than the 2019 edt, so thats cool

One of my least favorite perfumes I have of Mugler. I immediately get a headache when I wear it with only 2 sprays and it smells more masculine leaning to me.

If you were to tell me that investing in this fragrance over a year ago would cause me to become UTTERLY CAPTIVATED by Mugler as a fragrance house, make me suddenly find 90% of my 100+ fragrance collection boring and lacklustre, and then cause me to purchase every new angel flanker that has come out ever since this one and also a few of the previous angel and alien flankers too only to SOMEHOW love the new Angel flankers even more than fantasm which had already initially become my new all-time favourite...then I'm not too sure I would have allowed myself to make the original investment knowing how much it would cost me in the long run. But gee, I've already written a review for this scent on here a while back, but I needed to come back and remind yall how incredible it is and how much I ducking love L'Oréal's takeover of Mugler, no matter what y'all be saying. They genuinely haven't missed with the angel line since they took over and at this point, I'm considering letting dust collect on the rest of my collection and just wearing Mugler alone because everything I wear from them feels like a signature scent, everything is a standout and gets me more compliments than the rest of my collection. There is genuinely an angel for every occasion at this point, and I wouldn't be mad if I couldn't wear another brand again. BUT PLEASE MUGLER bring back Angel Muse or Angel Eau Sucree. I have been DYING to try those after hearing time and time again that they're the best all-time flankers. I genuinely didn't think it could possibly get better than stellar, fantasm or blush, but somehow Daniel Rene says Sucree is still his number one so I NEED TO SMELL IT NEOWWWWWWW.

Such an interesting take on the original Angel! I love that they kept the DNA: bitter sweet patchouli with cotton candy and a bit of fruitiness in the opening. Fantasm is creamier, sweeter and instead of the velvety chocolate present in the OG, it has bourbon vanilla which offers a lighter base. I like that the pineapple and coconut are not excessive. They’re perfectly balanced, offering a memorable yet not defining tropical quality to the fragrance. I usually don’t like very coconut forward perfumes, because they strike me as kind of… greasy smelling, lol. So I’m glad this has more of a pina colada vibe rather than straight up coconut pulp. Very good and long lasting!

For me the original Thierry Mugler ethos was typified by an unapologetically bold woman who didn't give a damn if you thought her perfume (or her fashion) were rather overwhelming. However, in Fantasm, this lady has had a pina colada (having swapped the rum for a pineapple flavored vodka perhaps) and while she's still not willing to apologize - she's at least willing to laugh at her own diva antics. Fantasm opens with a realistic pineapple note punched up by the bergamont. As the mid notes unfold the coconut may be the best I've encountered thus far (and believe me, I've tried many). The simple base accord is expertly deployed with Mugler's signature patchouli complimented by the amber spiced vanilla. I've worn Angel since its arrival and have long admired the Mugler aesthetic. Perhaps for this reason - newer flankers have only left me disappointed. But Fantasm reclaims some of the classic magic of the original. Just different enough to be surprising but not so different that it seems removed from its history. Kudos!

WOW, that was my reaction when I first smelled this, absolutely speechless. Delicious pina colada with a creamy vanilla base, but that would be boring - patchouli added a glimmerying nebulous aura to it , transforming it from a tropical drink to a celestial being.

Was hoping to smell coconut in here since everyone was saying how it's a tropical fragrance, but I smell none on my skin unfortunately. Pineapple is very prominent in the opening tho, so that's a plus, but only in the opening. Overall it has a strong Angel DNA throughout the wear, patchouli is very strong, and for me that's a good thing.

Kinda nice but missing the excitement that the OG, EDT, and even Angel Nova has. I simply dont think Angel is the kind of line we need or want more modern, palatable flankers for. The last truly interesting standout is still Angel Nova and now they're afraid to really USE the Angel DNA like they did there.

This is exquisite, refreshingly modern and definitely has the original DNA. Catching whiffs of it are like Angel with the soft glow of pineapple and coconut rounding out the patchouli- just beautiful. (also thankfully the coconut note is *not* a sunscreen vibe at all- true tropical earth) Louise Turner and Jacques Huclier slayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyed.

2026 Bottle from Mugler Shop Amazon Oh THIS! It's soo sensual with all of the best of Angel - I don't understand why it's not talked about as much, as its a masterpiece, a mighty love letter to the OG. The creators of this sumptuous juice is: **Louise Turner and Jacques Huclier** Fragrantica have strangely left this off the opening description. ANGEL BODY CREAM This is gorgeous and works under a lot of the Mugler range as does the Alien Body Cream - both are sublime and the boxes are to die for.

I wore this the other day and a French guy asked if I was wearing Angel.. So yes, this is the best release from l'oréal in the Angel line. This has the OG DNA.

Yes. Smells good. It will be my summer fragrance. A little Angely but I also get a hint of alien goddess intense, but just in the opening… Smells a bit unisex…. After trying the samples I thought I was going to return it, but I changed my mind…. I do think this will do better in colder weather. Wore to work for the first time today. Clients/customer service… Applied liberally 7 sprays or so at 7am by 11 nice soft angely/coconut skin scent. I had to let it soften before going to work. Glad I kept it. 5pm and still getting soft wafts of the fragrance. Is so nice. Winner :) I’d love a body lotion like this to add some intensity. It’s very skin scenty not long after spraying. Not nuclear like the og.

This is gorgeous scent. They did pineapple right Does anybody know who is the perfumer ?

Ive had this for over a year in a travel spray. I used to think “yeah, its good, but unremarkable, and i dont need to add this to my collection” I almost never wore it, mostly because i had so many other tried and true summer fragrances. But… This week ive nearly used up my travel spray. ADDICTED. So yeah… ive changed my mind. I do need this in my collection. Ordered. For me, its a summer fragrance that fits my deeper mysterious moods, or even those strange overcast warm weather days … think… rainy days in the Hawaiian islands. Reminds me of a tropical storm. I also layered this with LVEB Soliel and they worked together perfectly. Both have patchouli coconut and citrus and i just really loved how they melded together. Soliel accented the depth of Fantasm with a higher octave. Just added more layers, making for a richer scent overall. Based on reviews, i will also be ordering Stellar in the near future. PS. Ive never been a fan of the original Angel, but i own and love Muse, Muse EDT, Womanity, the original formulation of Alien, and Angel Nova.

Fantasm has the DNA of the original Thierry Mugler Angel with the intense spice of the patchouli and Tiare flower, but a unique spin with the heavy coconut warmth and citrus twist. I consider this my signature fragrance, and find its perceived as much more 'wearable' compared to the original Angel (which I love). The coconut and pineapple combine to create a burnt sugar aroma, its incredibly sweet but less beachy than you'd expect from the top notes. The lasting power is impressive overall, lingering hours and hours after applied. I wear this the most in the darker months as it has a darker depth that I find shines best when its cold out.

Angel Fantasm is what happens when Mugler does brightness without losing its soul. It opens with a burst of sparkling, cosmic fruit - not girlish berry, not pink optimism, but a fizzy, crystalline sweetness that feels more like starlight hitting glass. There’s a champagne‑gourmand shimmer here, a kind of effervescent sugar that lifts it. Underneath the sparkle, the Angel DNA hums quietly: a soft patchouli glow, a warm sweetness, a subtle praline warmth that anchors the brightness so it never becomes thin or pastel. This is the part that makes Fantasm feel like a character. As it dries down, the fruit softens into a warm, glowing sweetness - still bright, still cosmic, but smoother, rounder, more wearable. It’s playful without being childish, sweet without being sticky, bright without being clean. A rare balance. Fantasm is like a prism catching white light. It sparkles, but it has depth. It’s bright, but it has gravity. It’s modern, but recognisably Mugler. Longevity: strong Projection: moderate‑strong Mood: sparkling, cosmic, effervescent, warm Best for: cool weather brightness, evenings out, days when you want light without losing character A bright Angel that still feels like a protagonist - and one of the few modern Muglers that carries real emotional voltage.

This is a very nice perfume and very easy to wear (maybe not in the hottest weather), but it's not an absolute love for me. I wish I got the pineapple note but I just don't. I know packaging shouldn't matter but I don't think the colour of the bottle in any way reflects the vibe of the juice inside. I love a sweet coconut note but the coconut here is more of the fresh kind and not creamy. With a little tweak this could so easily have been a big love for me.

jesus christ this is so good. fresh cut pineapple and coconut off rip and a heavy dose of warm patchouli and creamy gardenia. then after a while the dry down leaves you with a sweet, floral, bourbon vanilla. for me this is a year-round scent. does not get cloying in the heat in my experience. soflo here. the dent in my bottle is already humongous. mugler don't you ever discontinue this.

I am so glad I finally figured this out. I had gotten a sample of this but thought it was the OG. I kept going in Ulta and sampling the OG and thought how is that the same? My sample was so freaking delicious and the one in the store is horrible. Well I was cleaning out my sample drawer recently and found it, in teeny tiny letters I saw the word "Fantasm!" Makes sense! Now I have the black star Fantasm and it was definitely it. This is INTOXICATINGLY delicious. Warm vanilla, coconut, tiare flower, pineapple, it's giving sexy beach nights. It reminds me of a niche fragrance called Day Three Tres Oros. This is amazing and I will layer them together!!! Holy hell this is so good. The Original one tho, not so much. I love the Fantasm.

In short, a great fragrance for coconut lovers — and I’m one of them 😍.

Ima let her sit awhile. Just got it today from a vendor on Mercari, it was outside for some hours just to add, and I’ve read so many good reviews but all I smell is patchouli. 🤮 I’ll update after she’s cooled off awhile. UPDATE: I wore it to work same night I got it and 4 people asked me what I was wearing. I was so self conscious that I started to back away from them, but they all said they can smell pineapple and coconut, that it smelled very tropical and fruity like a cocktail. When I mentioned all I could smell was patchouli they said it was just a hint of patchouli that made it smell “beachy” like sand. That was good feedback.
