TLaunched in June 2020, Angel Nova was announced as a modern fragrance for women that combines fantasy, dream and reality. It is an ultra fruity fragrance that features the fruitiest facets of Damask rose. The fruitiness of the raspberry and lychee last throughout the heart as well.

Review
Angel Nova by Mugler is a fragrance that is definitely worth trying, even if you're not a fan of fruity scents. While the berry, rose, and wood combination is not particularly original, it is well executed in this fragrance and stands out as one of the best in this scent profile.
The rose in Angel Nova is not as prominent as in other fragrances like Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb, but it is still noticeable and adds a nice touch to the overall scent. One thing to note about Angel Nova is that it is a very linear fragrance, meaning that it smells the same even after hours of application. This is both a positive and a negative, as it ensures that the scent lasts for a long time, but it also means that the scent profile does not evolve over time.
Angel Nova is a great fragrance to wear in late spring and early summer. Compared to most of what is on the market that is not just a plain ol' white floral, it is quite a standout scent. While it is not as loud as some of Mugler's previous fragrances, it still has a strong presence and fills up a room without being overwhelming. The opening of Angel Nova is a bright and tangy blast of fruit that settles down to a sweet, woody, spicy-dirty rose scent.
Final Thoughts
Overall, Angel Nova by Mugler is a well-executed fruity-woody scent that is both easy to wear and long-lasting. The raspberry note is particularly impressive, although some may find it too sour. The rose note is not as prominent as in other fragrances, but it still adds a nice touch to the overall scent. The longevity and sillage are both excellent, so it is important not to overspray. If you are looking for a standout fruity-woody scent that is not too overwhelming, Angel Nova is definitely worth trying.
