Mugler Angel

You can buy the genuine Mugler Angel straight from FragranceNet.com. The real bottle comes first; the accessible alternatives below are there if you'd rather spend less.

Mugler Angel opens with Bergamot; a heart of Praline, Caramel and Berry; drying down to Patchouli and Vanilla, from notes Mugler (official) publishes. Those notes read as citrus, sweet, woody, the coarse families Mugler (official) cites. How it wears depends on your skin and the concentration. We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.

The genuine Mugler Angel runs $60.89 at FragranceNet.com as of this page's last update, though retailers set their own prices and change them; the "smells-like" alternatives start around $8.95.

We rank the "smells-like" alternatives to Angel by how closely their cited accords match the original, cheapest first. A dupe is meant to evoke Angel, not match its formula, and we say as much. If we can't verify a genuine match yet, we leave it off.

Mugler Angel is listed as a women's fragrance by the retailer. That's a marketing label, not a rule: fragrance has no gender, and plenty of "women's" scents are worn by anyone. We show how it's sold and leave the wearing to you.

Unbranded Angel is the alternative we list first for Angel, ranked on shared cited accords then price, at $8.95 against $60.89 for the genuine bottle. Most alternative houses publish no scent profile of their own, so for those we show the original's cited accords rather than claim an independently verified match. It's meant to evoke Angel, not replicate it, so we link the real bottle first and let you judge for yourself.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy (shares Praline, Berry, Caramel); Parfums de Marly Layton (shares Praline, Patchouli, Bergamot); Armaf Odyssey Dubai Chocolat (shares Praline, Caramel, Vanilla). These share specific notes with Angel, a closer match than a shared accord family. We rank them by how many of Angel's cited notes they actually share, weighting rarer notes heavier than ubiquitous ones. Each is its own fragrance with real, sourced notes, not a copy of Angel, and has its own page.
