Mugler Angel Nova completely discards the heavy patchouli chocolate punch of the 1992 icon. It goes in a radically different direction.

Opulent Odyssey opens with a crisp breeze of cypress and hot saffron, quickly shifting into a dark heart of leather and rose. Sandalwood and cypriol anchor the base, giving it a smoky dryness that feels sophisticated yet easy to wear in cool autumn weather.
