I wish I had listened to the reviews that said this smells like B.O., because it absolutely does. Maybe a tiny bit reminiscent of Angel, but far from a dupe, and the main note in this is armpit. ...

Two words: holy grail. Nirmala found me not long ago after a decades-long search. I cannot understand why I had never heard of her, it almost seems like a conspiracy. Now, it's as though we were...

I've tried this in two formulations--the high-priced 1849 Collection EDP with bulb atomizer and the lower-priced Les Feminines EDT, but the one that comes in a blue 4 oz. bottle. (That's a...

I was first introduced to this by my aunt a few years ago, who had sent the solid version to me from the Molinard in Grasse. I loved it and wore it everyday, even if I was just staying home. It was...

I am the pickiest person ever when it comes to perfumes, and had never found one that I really loved until I picked up a sample of Nirmala in 2008. I loved it. Sweet but not cloying, clean but...

I inherited an edt bottle of this- a friend wore it, and it was a gift to her from another friend. It is the old formulation, and I went to find an old tester bottle on ebay I like it so much. At...

Smells EXACTLY like "Angel" by Mugler. Unfortunantly I one of those who just can't stand neither one. But why not go for this original one created in 1955 instead? every Angel-lover should...

I bought all of my Molinard perfumes in Grasse at the Molinard perfumery....that was about 5 years ago. I USED to wear Angel and all kinds of dept store perfumes before I went to Grasse. Now, I...

At first it smells exactly like the blackberry chewing-gum (hubba-bubba or something like that). Sweet, a little plastic, "burnt plastic". After 20 minutes becomes "sweaty" (!) - and it is not a...

I TOTALLY agree with SpinDiva's review below; I am a former deadhead / hippie who is all grown up now, but certain smells still bring back those happy, peaceful feelings from my past. This is one...

In a word..B.O. To me this was like spraying Angel onto a rancid, dirty armpit. And it has amazing lasting powers, can't scrub it off.

i don't know what scent some of the reviewers here have tested but it sure as goodness can't be Nirmala! There is no patchouli in it (I have the full list of ingredients from the Molinard shop in...

Come on, folks. Get real. This IS Angel!!! This is the fragrance Angel ripped off and were taken to court over. Want proof? Spray Nirmala on one arm and Angel on the other. Then ask someone who...

This is indeed similar to Angel -- however it is more mellow and less sharp than Angel. It's also about 10 times less expensive than Angel. It's exotic tropical fruits, precious woods and spices...

Nirmala is an Indian name. Nirmala means clean. The prefix nir (meaning out of or away from--the opposite of) preceding "mala", which means dirt or moral/physical impurity. Perhaps this should...
