Smell is for a more mature female. Not soft at all.

I like it but I don’t love it. There is a slight older lady smell to it on my skin. However when layered with a sweeter fragrance it’s amazing. It is not near as sweet and I had hoped for.

I wish I could give 0 stars. For me personally the smell is very off-putting. It's very spicy. I hate the smell of patchouli and it's very overpowering in this perfume. I only sprayed one spritz to see what it smells like. I left the room and closed the door and could still smell it throughout the house. Now I know what to look out for when choosing scents in the future.

Been my favorite for years

It is my 2nd favorite of all perfumes.

I was told that that was a polarizing fragrance, well I hated it. It made me a little nauseous wearing it, and I had to wash it off. I let my friends smell it before I took it off, and they didn't like it either. It was suggested my a TikTok guy that I loved, so I knew I was going to love it, but yuck! It reminded me of something my grandmother would wear after it went bad. I was so sad because I thought I loved most of the notes in this perfume. First perfume that I ever returned.

The smell was too peppery for my taste!!!

Simply the best perfume ever! My all-time favorite.

One of my favorites!!!! Starts a little to jasmine heave but settles in deep vanilla/powder/exotic. And I can smell it all day on myself.

I am in love with Angel! It has a sultry, almost spicy scent that is not floral. It lasts all day, and even into the next sometimes.

My absolute favorite perfume! I get so many compliments on it!

I'd describe this as a spicy and mature scent. I absolutely love it! One of my all time favorite perfumes is CK Euphoria which I also would describe as spicy.

It's strong at first I did not like. But as it was on my skin for awhile it's softened to a nice sent. My husband liked it.

It’s terrible. Too strong with undertones of cigarette smoke and musk. I selected this as a “free” option and want my pick back.

Smells too strongly of patchouli, in my opinion. The patchouli is strong and long lasting.

My favorite! Love it so much and it lasts all day

Way too strong!!! Instant headache! So if you’re even a little sensitive don’t do this! After several hrs it’s pleasant. Only wore once though

As long as you just use a little bit it’s wonderful but it is very overwhelming if you use too much.

If you think Carmex smells delicious & want to smell like that, this is the scent for you! It's so overpowering. It is also very masculine. It smells like an old man wearing Carmex. I hate this so much I wish I could give it zero stars. It's so strong, you will have to wash yourself 3 or 4 times, maybe more to get this stink off of your body. It's putrid. 3.6 stars for this is outrageous. It should be -3.6. STEER CLEAR!!!!

May be a nice scent but it is to overpowering so I can’t really tell . I sprayed it once three days ago and the whole room still smells.

One of my favorites

At first the smell does give old lady but after about 45 minutes the smell is so dreamy. I got so many compliments on it. You do not need a lot or it’ll be way too strong.

After the discontinuation of my signature scent, Angel Muse, I decided to give Angel a try. It has all the scents I love. However, this is way too musky and spicy for me. It turned very sour on my skin, unlike Angel Muse, which melted into more of a subtle sweetness.

The opening of this is so strong and I was a bit turned off. But as it dries down it becomes so soft and beautiful. My husband loves it!

It smells like a musky, powdery, old lady perfume.

This smells really nice , very fitting for the winter months. Can see myself wearing it around Christmas time

Smells really strong and woody

Very classic and different

Smells like old lady and way to strong

Total old lady vibes. I had to wash it off.

I should’ve read the notes this is like getting smacked in the face with 50 pounds of patchouly ?? hate it

Love it

Pretty light fragrance. I really like it but it does not last very long.

A lovely spicy rich scent

Definitely would pass on this scent, 1 spray was enough to know I didn't want it on my skin.

I was not impressed. Very very strong.

Lovely scent

It’s not for me. My friend wears this and it smells amazing on her. It’s a stronger smell and it didn’t work me.

It was ?? awlful I sprayed it on wrist and instantly regretted it. It is a very mature scent (almost reminds me of what everyone calls the old lady smell) I don't some people like that but it just was not for me. I used my once a month exchange on it.

I love it.

Very strong. Not horrible, just not something I would own.

The patchouli is HORRIBLE. I didn't realize this was the scent and I kept smelling this in my room, wondering where it was coming from. The initial scent is nice but the patchouli comes through as it sits and smells awful!

Waaayyy too sweet for my liking!

I did not like it the smell. It was not fruity enough for me

Absolutely grabs the attention of the room! It is not super strong but the uniqueness of this scent makes you the center of attention!

I didn’t like the smell. It smelled like rot to me. I want to return it

I like bold, warm scents in the colder months. They tend to linger/last longer. I like this one but it's missing something for me. I picked up on the patchouli and some vanilla, it's musky in my opinion. I like it but didn't love it. I didn't exchange but wouldn't pick again.

Would not classify this as a gourmand. I can tell it will grow on me as I found myself *sort of* liking it in the dry down. That initial spray is something terrible though. Perhaps, once it settles from travel, it will get better.

Strong scent. But I like it. Definitely for my more active days from office to office.

How is this a "Gourmand" fragrance? I absolutely smell no sort of caramel or sweetness anywhere in this scent. It's not sweet or anywhere close to it! It smells like pepper??. It also smells like an old lady. The worst is that this is my replacement scent. We'll I should have stuck with my original choice.

I did not care for this I thought it smelled like an old lady but my bf loves it on me so go figure:)

I wish I would have read the reviews! It’s smells so terrible. I instantly wanted to throw it away but was just so angry that I wasted my choice on such an awful scent. Definitely do not recommend.

It smells terrible!!!!!!! Yuck! It’s so strong and peppery and like an old lady. Made me nauseous it was so bad I couldn’t even give this one away.

Terrible scent. Smells like old lady perfume.

Angel is the OG gourmand! I've been wearing it for years. I always go back to it if I try other things. It starts out a little strong, but the dry down is where the magic happens. It dries to a gorgeous praline, vanilla, chocolate patchouli that stays beautiful all day long. I get lots of compliments when I wear it.

Hard NO!! When I smelled it In the store I really liked it. I would have chosen this one over Alien but now I’m glad it didn’t buy it.

Too strong and spicy starting out, but it does eventually fade to something kind of nice. But the initial scent is just so bad.

I hate it, I can't believe it's so popular. It's a real old lady scent. I wore it out one evening just to see if anyone liked it and my friends said it was OK. I could tell they were being polite ??. If I lived in the US it would be going back but sadly I'm stuck with it. Would give to someone else, but I'm not that mean.

Not the best from the Alien series. It smells dated and not fresh or fun. I love all Mugler's fragrances! I wish these perfumes lasted longer which I am unsure if it's scent box or the product. Most Alien products last for days.

It's a definite no for me. It smells like a old church lady from the 80s and 90s. As soon as I sprayed it, I didn't like it. I let my cousin and friend snell it and they didn't like it either. My friend said she was going to give a sample I received to her mom who is in her 60s.

Compliments ....oh so many... I have been wearing this scent for years and I get so many compliments. Scents are not for everyone , but this one is for me....

Yuck! It reminds me of an incense store. Many many years ago a co worker told Me she was wearing angel and it smelled so sweet and decadent and this is definitely not the same Angel. This smells like a hippie incense store. Exchanging immediately.

This opens with a blast of tart citrus and quickly mellows into sweet, creamy caramel on my skin. I love the scent, but it drops down to a three star fragrance because it disappears from my skin completely in under an hour. Sadly disappointed.

Not my favorite. A little to earthy and heavy smelling on me.

Yuck! Wondering if I got the wrong scent b/c idk how anyone could like this! it stinks. I returned it. I want to try in store to see if the big bottle smells different b/c the day I tried it my friend asked me what I was wearing bc it smelled awful & old!

Not at all what I expected. It’s a very nice fragrance

Another one from this company that smells rancid. Does anyone else think that a lot of their fragrances smell faux or like they have been sitting on the shelf for too long? I just ran out of a bottle I had purchased at Nordstrom 2 years ago and was excited to have a bit of it in hand before I go out and buy a full sized version again. The mini sized fragrance I received really stinks. I will be returning. It could be that traveling in the mail delivered to sunny Florida is baking it beyond freshness too. I'm so disappointed.

This has been my go-to for years. Not too sweet, not too musky, and lasts for days!!

I love Angel I have used it for years and just added it with my subscription because it’s nice to have a purse size one I will say it doesn’t last as long in the spray but I put on the perfume at home and then if I want to freshen it up I have it in my purse just love that u offer it

It is a strong scent but I absolutely love it! It has great staying power, lasts all day but mellows out. I am terrible at describing scents.

My first return :(

Smells like spicy carmex. I can’t believe how popular this scent is. Straight out of the bottle it stinks, but I still wanted to give it a try and it’s AWFUL. If you’re sensitive to strong smells, definitely don’t even try this.

Love the smell but doesn't last long

Not a scent for me. Too heavily of patchouliwhich caused an instant headache. This one is on its way back in exchange for another!

I did not like the scene of this one.

Scent is not for me. It has a powdery rose scent

Honestly I can't see why a bunch of people felt this is meant for an elderly woman. Its a spicy smell that's also fresh, I feel confident when I wear this. It starts off with chocolate and some spice, which then leads to a sweet smell, then goes down to fruity fresh smell, like melon and bergamot. This perfume is truly unique in how it evolves throughout the day, since it has so many notes. It can be spicy one moment and then creamy another. I always get compliments when I wear this.

Smells like a elderly person. Not for me at all!

so yea...this is not for me. I was hoping it would dry down nice but, nah it almost smells like air freshner. I'm good its a no for me...But Alien Goddess is amazing! Try that instead ;)

Not my type of scent. Smells terrible!

I grew up with this fragrance due to my mom always wearing it! Now that I can wear it, I still love it as much as I did back then!

It reminded me of an elderly persons overwhelming perfume, or some aftershave an old man wears. Not a fan

Huge disappointment. Every ingredient in the ingredients list sounded amazing (except for the sandalwood, which usually smells like dirt to me), but when I got it, it was super aggressive. Started out a strong sweet, fruity smell, then morphed into an aggressive powdery grandma scent and gave me a headache. My father made a point to tell me how smelly it was. I tried to wash it off and can't get it all off. Sending in for an exchange.

It smells elderly and overwhelming, like a mix of 30 different notes ranging from sweet to floral to I’m not even sure..

Smells too masculine

I don’t know… I’m so back and forth with this one. It doesn’t last very long. But it’s pretty strong when you first spray. It smells sweet, but aged. I feel like this is something someone whom is elderly would wear.

I was so excited to try this frag. I even upgraded to premium options & this was my FIRST premium. This frag. smells so weird. I smell NONE of the notes I was interested in smelling. Carmel, chocolate, honey etc. Nooo! I smell some sharp gross note! I tried it on my son & he said, "it smells like bbq" it's just a NO for me! It's the second sent I will send back!

This perfume smelled horrible, it smelled like an old lady. I would never wear this perfume or purchase it!

Smell was definitely not for me.

Hate it stinks, the smell makes me gag

I didn't really care for it, but my man LOVED IT! So I must say it's sexy to the male gender!

Gourmand and I love it. It really isn’t for everyone. It is very likely not for the very young. It is not for those that want a fruity youthful teeny bopper scent. I don’t get the “old lady “ scent at all. It is a grown up scent and yes, gourmand scent. If you have never tried gourmand, this is not the one to start with. It is a nice strong scent at first, which is what I like because I don’t always want a close to skin scent like a body spray. It definitely has a lot of Angel Muse at first and dries down to a light scent. I think it’s one of my favorites. I’m glad it stays on clothing for a long while so i can enjoy the fragrance as fragrance is meant to be smelled. If you like soft scents to re-apply often, this isn’t the one until it dries down completely. I am a bit frustrated with the old lady comments. If it’s powdery, it’s likely more like a baby scent.

Not a fan. Strange undertone that I don't care for.

Love it

Use to think I liked this one but once I got it I really just hate it and had to return. Very old smelling/old lady.

Hate it! Gave me a headache

Smells like straight rubbing alcohol.

Love the smell on my mom not so much for me makes me smell like an old lady not for me

Smells very earthy at first but I got so many compliments after it settled on my skin! Very mature scent.

Im a gourmand lover and this was straight putrid for my nose.

Smells like dirt. I hate it

Addictive. Not for everyone but gets complemented plenty!

Patchouli bomb. I used to love this fragrance 20 years ago, but either my tastes have changed more than I think they have or my skin chemistry has shifted but I didn’t enjoy it as much this go around. Very strong and very heady.

I didn’t like this at all. Smells too mature.. and powdery

Smelled like a skunk, had such high hopes for this fragrance but ultimately ended up trashing it

I don't think this smells the way it's supposed to on me, I think my body chemistry messes it up. It pretty solidly just turns to musk on me and I smell like I'm wearing white diamond. None of the other notes seemed to have that much longevity for me and I got none of the gourmand and none of the sweetness. Also interestingly enough I get none of the patchouli either.

Did not like this fragrance at all! Smells very "mature".

It smelled burnt and gave me a headache.

I did not like this scent when I first sprayed. But after 15 minutes or so it smelled amazing on my skin. It's soft yet strong.

Probably my least favorite fragrance I've ever had. Just smells like spicy baby powder mixed with woodsy accords. Not at all a gourmand in my opinion.

Smells awful, like a scent from a long long time ago but not in a good way. It’s not sweet at all. It’s gross.

This is horrible!!! I’m starting to get a little upset by the scent descriptions because this along with Many other scents I’ve gotten smell nothing like the description. NO CARAMEL, NO HONEY, NO VANILLA…. This is powdery patchouli and very masculine. I really wanted something warm and cozy…. NOT IT! Instantly gave me a headache ??

It’s a refreshing smell, long lasting

over hyped smells like the 90s

Love this smell. At first I wasent too sure but the more I wear it out and people come up to me and ask are you wearing angle.

Angel is and has been my most favorite fragrance. Been wearing it for years. I get compliments from both men and women. Everyone wants to know what I'm wearing! It's definitely strong at first, but the dry down is amazing. This one lasts on my skin all day. Even after I wash my hands, I can still smell it on my wrists. I belive the scent is different for everyone, depending on body chemistry. It's a lovely, sexy fragrance.

Way to strong the chocolate spicy smell was over bearing not my cup of tea

It smells good after it has had some time on the skin, but at first its a little old lady smelling. My boyfriend didn't think it smelled old lady though, so it may have just been me.

My favorite smell in the universe

I want to like this there are so many soft notes. But there is also one note that throws it off. Smells like confusion

I can’t shake the elderly lady feeling of this fragrance. I can’t find anything I like about this from first spray to dry down it reminds me of a nursing home

I thought I would like this more but the fragrance is too spicy…. I wanted something more subtle which is what you would expect from a fragrance named angel.

I did not like the scent at all and immediately washed it off. To me it smells like an old lady rolled in black pepper. Although I don’t like the scent it is very strong and a little goes a long way. It also still stuck on me after washing it off so at least it lasts.

I thought I would like this but was disappointed when I received it, if you do not like powdery strong scents do not purchase.

Has a very strong musk smell.

Always have loved this scent.

At first it’s very very strong and mature, but it wears off and leaves a beautiful scent that is not overpowering. Definitely getting a lot of sweetness- caramel, vanilla! Fits beautifully a chilly day

This is definately a favorite my neighbour had it on and showed me it was strong but as it settles my god you just cant help but love that sweetness that comes from it. I think i love it more than it loves me however it just doesnt smell on me like it did on her so as much as i love this scent its still not fit for my body iam half italian half punjabi im curious if some scents smell better than others due to the ingredients bevause it mixes with your skin your oils ..i do love this scent and its up there on my faves list but its not exactly compatable like i want it to be. This is why i love scentbox im learning more as i go along.

I have loved this sent since it came out. I have noticed that it smells different on everyone. Definitely a little goes a long way.

I like the smell and it last longer

Long lasting scents

I thought this would smell better than it does. Even though I'm a bit disappointed, it's still good enough to wear :)

Once it dries down the fruitiness fades and it’s truly gourmand. One spray is more than enough, lasts all day and leaves a trail. The first hour it was overpowering but once it settled it’s reminiscent of a bakery and reminds me of christmas. Vanilla and honey stand out the most to me but the caramel and chocolate notes aren’t far behind. I personally wouldn’t choose this for a daytime scent it’s far too strong, but as a evening scent it’s quite enchanting. Very flirty and unique!

Not a scent for me, smells a little too mature for me.

Not for me but sister liked it

Good for fall. Unique. It reminds me of honey. I smelled it all day.

I sprayed one and it smelled like musky vicks vapor. I left it on thinking after a bit it would mix with my skin give a better smell but only got worse

I like it very much,it’s very strong at first it lasts longer on my clothes than on my skin. And it smells different on my skin than on my clothes but it does blend well.

I love the smell on me!! Has a long lasting smell .

Literally my favorite fragrance. I love patchouli.

Not a fan

Love this scent! When I smelled it in the bottle I thought it wasn’t something I would ever wear, then my friend sprayed it on her skin and I was in LOVE. Great lasting power, seriously smelled it the entire day. Just a very unique scent.

I love love love the scent. And it stays on forever. I have my calendar set up for this sent four months

Very strong patchouli almost reminiscent of body odor. Did not make i through the whole bottle but it did grow on me a little. Would never get again.

I have trouble smelling it on myself. I like the smell when I first put it on.

I found this to smell quite powdery but I’m going to give it another try. I didn’t smell any of the other notes that it mentions so the soft notes came through more and I felt like I smelled like a bathroom spray

Not a fan

I think this is one of those scents that smells different on different people and i just don't care for how it smells on me.

Wanted to try this scent along with the other Mugler fragrances because I recently purchased Angel Iced Star and I LOVE IT! I LOVE this one as well!! It lasts a good while on me and has pretty good projection! It’s not too strong either

Love this fragrance. It is a standard on my list. The fragrance is a show stopper. I get many compliments when wearing it always.

I absolutely love this scent. It's a little heavy for everyday wear, but perfect for date night.

Way too strong

Loved it!

At first I wasn't sure how I felt about the smell but quickly it grew on me. It's very unique. It's earthy woodsy yet feminine. I've not smelled anything quite like it. It lasts a long time!

Smelled horrible

Real perfumy

Not a fan. This may smell good on someone else, but for me it was awful. It was very long lasting, which would have been great had I liked it. Very musky

Wasn't quite my cup of tea. Although I absolutely love Alien!!!

This was my first box and I love this perfume. Stays with you a long time and there are just so many layers to it. Always get compliments on the scent.

Always loved this fragrance… haven’t tried this for a while and still love it.

It's a little overwhelming to say the least. I'm not a fan of this one. It's too musky and very heavy.

Personal favorite! I used to buy 1 bottle a year. I upgraded my subscription to premium so I could get it again! My daughter says it smells like cinnamon.

It took a while for me to really warm up to this one since it comes off VERY sweetly, but after a while all the other notes weaved in and out, taking turns in the spotlight. It's a complex, highly enjoyable fragrance that I discover and re-discover every time I wear it

Fragrance is amazing!!!! Long lasting and projects well. I wore on a date and he couldn’t stop talking about ho amazing I smelled.

When first sprayed it is a bit much and I wasn't a fan but, I decided to give it a shot and wear it and to my surprise I got so many compliments on how good I smelled!

Didn't like it at first, but after a minute i loved it.

I chose this because my daughter's always loved it and I like it too now. I find it refreshing.

Do not like the scent at all. Powdery, and flowery. Returned.

OFFENSIVE. I got a pounding headache when I sprayed it on my wrist. I thought maybe I would give it some time to settle before I really judged it but it never did. I had to scrub it off my wrist in order to make my headache go away. Smells like a funeral home.

Headache inducing

Didn’t care for it.

This fragrance is long lasting and smells ok. It is just too powdery and rosy for me. It smells like my grandmother's perfumes. Not a bad thing, just not for me.

I smelled this a few years ago at Macy's and for some reason I wasn't a fan then. I was more interested in its counterpart "Alien" from the same fragrance house. I reordered this on a whim, and something has changed. I don't know it is me or the fragrance but wow, this thing is AHHMAZING. My skin tends to eat fragrance, nothing sticks to me very well between the Florida humidity and my personal chemistry. One spray on the inside of my right wrist is going strong 8 hours after application. Its definitely sweet, cotton candy wrapped in cocoa, there is Patchouli in there, but its not the star of the show. Its perfectly blended. On me this is the grown up and sophisticated version of the original Juicy Couture.

Sexy fall

Spice, musk, bubble gum, and new car smell all mixed together. I could see where some might like it, but it's not for me. I wouldn't want to share an office with this smell.

This is the first perfume I’ve gotten that I sent back for an exchange. I sprayed it on a card and then I sprayed it on my skin. I tried smelling it wet and dried. It was really bad. I could not find any notes of it that were pleasant to me and I could never see myself wearing it. It’s so weird because I couldn’t find any of the notes that are described in the description. Just a a big “not for me” perfume.

This scent at first doesnt smell at all like it does when it settles. My boyfriend was like wow, what are you wearing that smells so good, and he sad that all day. I caught whiffs of it throughout the day and I was even like wow, I smell good. Clean, fresh, just yummy overall. Last all day.

Love the smell, stays on all day!!!

Love it. My Grandmother used to use this so it reminds me of her. I love how strong the honey comes though!!

First spritz was terrible. I’ve always wanted to smell this and I don’t know if it is supposed to smell the way it did but it smelled old and spoiled.

Yum. :)

A bit overbearing at first . Comes off strong but has a sweet undertone. It’s still growing on me. Not something I’d repurchase.

Not a fan

Not my favorite....but it did grow on me after the 3rd time wearing it.

So so darn good!! My go to perfume.

Wasn't for me.

Was not super impressed the first day I wore this fragrance but it has turned into 1 that I really do like. Can be a touch overbearing but I just use a lighter hand.

At first I wasn't sure that I liked it but after wearing it a few times I was in love. It is lovely and I like to wear it in the evening around my house to relax.

I think this is my favorite fragrance yet. Everytime I wear it I get compliments.

Very nice dessert vibe scent

Not my cup of tea. I gravitate towards sweet scents. But it is strong enough to last throughout the day.

My first scent box. I liked the lasting power of the fragrance but very strong and a warm fragrance. I smell the pepper

Please, do not go on first whiff. So powerful, it almost knocked me out. I decided to wait it out and smell the drydown. It isn't bad and lasts a long time. I wouldn't advise people who get migraines. It is synthetic smelling and definitely sweet. Edible? No. So, don't go by the note pictures. It is all synthetic interpretations of the notes and fake. When a perfume says gourmand, I want it to smell delicious. This is just a sweet patchouli in liquid form.

It's cute! I like it but it a lot. It's like a mystery in a bottle and it smells different on different people

Love it

Very pretty scent. Very strong so be aware if using for an office setting. Very stylish and mature.

At first I was not sure I liked it. Powerful, in your face unusual opening of Patchouli. However, after a minute or two the intensity tones down and I start to enjoy how rich and complex this fragrance is. Occasional whiffs of chocolate, caramel and vanilla come through and I can't stop myself from going back for another sniff. Interesting and unusual and I love exploring new scents. This is exactly why I joined Scentbox.

Super ok. Very manly in my opinion. Powdery and musky…not bad but not as bomb as everyone was saying??

I think this is perfect to wear on a cold winter day. One small spray is all that’s needed and I spray it on about 30 minutes before going anywhere. The first spray is intense but the dry down is really nice. It lasts forever.

Love love this scent ...

Just not my scent style

Light and sweet

Aweful

To me this perfume stinks. I sprayed it on my shirt and I had to change because I couldn't stand to keep smelling it on me

Smells like pine needles and not in a good way.

Awful, this is the first scent that I literally regret having in my queue, its old lady, musky and just terrible.

The best ever fragrance

Overpowering.

Love it

I did not like this one. I returned it for another scent.

I love it. Dont need alot either. To much will take your breath away. Little goes way far.

When I joined Scentbox, I asked several friends for recommendations to try. This was one of them and I am so glad I listened. It is the perfect mix of everything I enjoy in a scent. It's not overpowering at all and it lasts all day. I've been a Black Orchid fan for ages but this has changed my mind. I believe I have found my new holy grail.

Way too much going on with this one. It's nauseating

Awful scent. Gave me a headache instantly and I’m usually not sensitive to fragrances. Thankfully I just sprayed it on the wrist and was able to wash it off quickly

Was expecting it to smell more sweet and refreshing but more creamy and musky

Way too many notes was really busy smelling and I kept getting a strong medicinal smell that I just don’t like it just smells wrong. And then it dropped down to a very old lady powdery scent. A no for me.

Smells like an old lady, tried this on my mother and sister said I smell like an old lady at the health food co-op. I took a shower to take off still a lingering smell

Very strong lovely smell

I have been wearing this fragrance since 1997 and it is still my favorite. I stopped wearing it daily about 10 years ago as it seemed everyone was wearing it and it was no longer MY signature scent. Angel is like no other, the scent is memorable and remarkable as I always get compliments.

I was not sure if I was going to like the scent of Angel based on the notes, but I really enjoy it. I did over spray, as on me fragrances do not usually last that long or are that strong. The scent lasts on me all day. I will say that when you initially spray it the scent is a bit overwhelming, but as it goes into the middle and base notes it has a very vanilla caramel scent on me with a touch of floral.

Nice and light, however it had a powdery note to it like baby powder that isn't to my taste. My sister loves it though.

Love it! Favorite so far!

Smelled a little to manly

Has a powdery essay that clashes with the "exotic" heaviness that im not fond of. Its fine but I wouldn't choose it for myself. Maybe someone older

Made me sick literally I had wash it off and was nauseous for hours. I love Muglers other perfume especially Alien my favorite! Angel is not for me this is the first one I had to return.

Angel's scent was a lot stronger then expected. I was expecting something more sweet and savory based on the notes. Instead of this bottle being a beautiful blue color I would think it would be more a darker color blue or color like maroon, brown, etc. I didn't like it at all and exchanged it for something it. So disappointed.

Very strong and lasts a long time but is overpowering to me. It smells like incense and made my eyes water. Did not like this one at all.

If I could give it zero stars I would. I can honestly say this perfume last a long time. With every whiff of this I was mad I did not test it on something other than my wrist. This is a very strong fragrance that’s not pleasant at all. Usually if I don’t like it, I could just give it to my mom or kids. They did not even want it. I hated it so bad I won’t even use it in the bathroom for spray. I will keep it as a reminder/ a lesson.

This is the first fragrance I’ve ever returned to Scentbox—it’s that bad. I was so disappointed as I’d been waiting a long time to try it

I think this is a unique scent and I really do enjoy it. However, it is very strong and I don't see myself wearing it often.

Can not stand the smell.

Not for me

Too strong for me, it smells like cigar wrap around flowers

Love this scent

Love the slight hints in this fragrance.

I don't like this at all.

Giving it one star because of longevity! Horrible scent that lingered even after scrubbing with soap and water! Definitely smells like old lady and not for me.

Not quite what I was expecting. It was alot stronger and darker, I was expecting something more sweet and savory based on the notes. It settled better with my chemistry once I wore it longer but at first spray, it wasn't good for me. :(

So strong and last forever

Perfect perfume

Smells horrible…. Like old Avon perfume you found that’s 20 yrs old ….

Bright bold long lasting

I gave it to my daughter for her birthday. She loves it

I didn’t like this fragrance at all! It smelled like musty wood. It’s a very strong odor too!

I really did not like the perfume at all. Not at all what I was expecting.

I m disappointed! I wanted a chocolate perfume and I heard Angel gave a chocolatey scent. I just received my case and gave it a spray test. I did not like it, I sprayed on an index card maybe that's the reason I wasn't wowed by this fragrance. I will wear it one day on my skin and see if I send it back. What a shame I was expecting more from Mugler I cant even classify it I was so put off by the smell

Didn't care for the scent... Very patchouli smelling to me

Smells nice overall, but the patchouli throws me off a bit, and because that is by far the strongest note of the fragrance (in my opinion) I can’t rate this scent very high. I’ll try it out for a while, but my initial impression is just so-so.

It is really strong! However, once you wear it a little while it grows on you.

Like an Angel! Love it!!

I really enjoyed it the scent but initially it's got a slight pepper note almost it is not that pleasant but once it fades the rest of the scents can come in and it's really nice

Gross

I don’t get all the bad reviews on this one, I love it! I receive so many compliments on it too! I hate musky smells and I don’t think this one is musky but everyone has different body chemistry’s.

This scent is ok my wife thought it smells fine but great

This is horrible. It's so horrible that I told Scentbox that they sent me a mislabeled fragrance (and then they sent me two more of them!), because I can't imagine how something this awful could be so popular. I sprayed it in the air and the whole family went running. Tried it one more time on my skin, surprise, still horrible.

I don't like this fragrance at all.

This was awful. I LOVE Angel Muse but this was a huge, huge miss. Nothing like Angel Muse at all.

HOLY FACK! I was not ready, this one got me forreal. I chose this one mostly because I liked the bottle, I didn’t even read the reviews because usually when I see “gourmand” in the description, I know I’m going to like it but SURPRISE! This one is for sure an exception. When I first sprayed this I coughed so much it gave me flash backs from the first time I smoke weeed. Jokes aside… it even left my throat itchy. The first couple of minutes felt like I was getting in some type of hypnosis and then it settled down a bit after 10 min, then I felt like I was in some new reality realizing I f**cked up making this choice in my queue. This is more like an incense than a perfume, I would say the best way to describe this smell is like church but CATHOLIC ORTHODOX CHURCH, or like an old attic/storage from grandma’s house? No! Wait!! It smells like that flowery fabric old couch your mom doesn’t want to get rid of because it’s an antique, yup! That’s the one. I don’t even think my granny would enjoy this smell either tbh. If there’s someone you hate at work and doesn’t leave you alone.. all you need is ONE spray of this to get that person away from you, and 2 sprays if you want them dead.

Starts out with a really strong black licorice smell that thankfully settles down after 10 or 15 minutes and leaves a much better sweet smell with a hint of musk. Longevity for me is about 2 hours. I do really love this one though overall.

This scent didn’t work for me. I have smelled it on others and it smelled amazing, but it doesn’t do well with my body chemistry.

I like it but I don’t love it. The initial smell of it is overwhelming and unpleasant but with time it does come together and smell better. It just doesn’t seem very appealing at first but after a few minutes it’s great!

Wow so strong and don’t really like it! It kind of reminds me of black licorice.

I really loved this on me and so did everyone else that smelled it. I do know that woody/ sweet strong sents smell really good on me since I was younger alot of ppl don't like this scent because its what they would call too mature I see that but the dry down is such a different scent almost sweet and soapy on me and I loved it. If sweet clean scents are your thing then this might not be for you but it smelled really sexy on my skin...I have always found that things I think smell weird or odd on paper end up being some of my favorite scents to wear..

Not for me at all. I don't like any thing about it I'm sorry. I rather have perfumes that smell fresh and clean kinda like the cool water is. I been wearing cool water for years. I'm looking to find a perfume that kinda like cool water, something that smells fresh and clean

I like it, but I don’t love it. It’s not something you want to spray on right before going into a crowd. It takes time to come together. Once it does it’s a calm light smell, but the initial smell is not very kind to anyone in the vicinity. Lol I do like the after smell though.

I really wanted to be the girl that Angel smelled awesome on. BUT, this is the Worst scent I’ve ever sprayed on me. There’s no tonka bean, no chocolate, no woody, fruity, nor floral. I can’t even describe what it smells like. I let everyone at my work smell it; they hate it. I love Alien! and I’d also love to smell this on someone who says it’s their Signature scent so I could see what I’m missing. The longevity is at Max tho!

Not a Fan

springs and bounces all over me and the room. its complimented i wear it. never to strong for any occasion.

Love this!!!

This scent has always been one of my favorites. It is very long lasting, so one spray goes a long way. I do agree with some of the other reviews that I don't smell the fruity notes that are in the fragrance. It is more of a mature smelling fragrance, so if you are looking for something really young and vibrant, this may not be for you.

Just not the scent for me. I normally like something that smells a bit more sweet.

I absolutely love love love this fragrance!! I get soo many compliments.

Overpowering when first sprayed. Calms down after 10 or so minutes. To me, smells like 5 parts musk mixed with 3 parts baby powder and 2 parts vanilla caramel. Not my fave. My husband and daughter thought it smelled nice.

This smell is really strong. I usually like the notes described for this fragrance, but this was very strong and very "old woman" smelling. First one I've returned in several months of using this service.

One of my favorites. Can be spotted easily in a room

Love this one. Has a woody undertone and lasts a long time.

The best. Lasrs a long time.

Very dark and musky it’s really nice. I get a lot of compliments on this one and it lasts pretty long!

More of an older lady scent

This one is so polarizing! But I’m firmly in the “love” camp. It has lots of staying power and I find it very sexy.

Me gusto mucho pero esperaba más creo no esta mal pero no es uno de mis favoritos

It has a very sweet smell, I love the scent .

Full admission, I haven’t smelled this in years and still remember not liking it one bit. However, I just had to comment to say that Bobbie’s review below had me absolutely DYING. She is pretty much spot on and literally made me LOL.

It seems like everyone loves this perfume, so I ordered it. I wasn't a huge fan, but I didn't hate it either. I wore it a couple times and while it's nice, it isn't my cup of tea. My daughter loved it though, so I gave it to her and she wears it daily.

It smelled too old, almost churchy

Initially, I didn't like it. Once the scent settled, I loved it.

Smelled horrible

Ever since it's inception in 1992, Angel has been in my top 5. This fragrance is very robust. It literally lasts all day. In some cases, it will last for days if you are away from civilization and aren't able to visit a shower.

Ok... This was my very 1st Scentbox fragrance. I am 36 Y.O. I sprayed on my wrist & arm, as well as my 61 Y.O. mother's arm. Even after dry down, we both scrunched up our faces & said we strongly disliked this scent! Evidently, NOT the same formula that I remember sampling/smelling & loving back in the day. smh. My 10 Y.O. son & his friend said it smelled like a mixture of Grandma Perfume & Grandpa Aftershave. lol. This scent made me hate patchouli! I avoid it at al costs now. It definitely does NOT smell fruity at all like it says in description on site. It smells floral - very powdery - dirt/earthy - & a fuckload of patchouli. idk, idk... but something in it leaves an "after-smell" in my nose/throat & after-taste" in your mouth/throat! Ewww, UGH!!! VERY STRONG!!! It does not come off easily, either! I immediately washed with warm water & antibacterial soap... NOTHING!!! Then I try washing it with a (nicely) scented body scrub... Nope! Still smells like grandma & grandpa rolling around in the dirt after powdering themselves while they burn patchouli incense. Finally after all that, PLUS washing it 5 times with Dawn Platinum dish detergent... it went away from my arm... but STILL somewhat lingered! A legitimate NIGHTMARE!!!!!!! Literally, THE WORST perfume I have ever smelled in my life!!! Exchanged immediately!!! Customer service is great, tho!

Love it! It's got a floral scent to it that I find sexy. My husband loves this perfume stops me everyime I'm near.

One of my favorite scents, I call it my “dress up” fragrance. Makes me feel very sophisticated!

Too spicy and smells very mature. I hate it

I love it and so does my husband. It’s a very sensual fragrance.

Love this fragrance! I receive many compliments when I wear this scent.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. This gave me flash backs of Avon 90s cheap FLORAL OLD LADY. perfume. There were none of the notes mentioned that I could smell just OLD AVON disgusting......

Way too strong, never got used to it through the day.

Not a pleasant fragrance at all

Is a very sophisticated and womanly scent, moreso on the mature said but not necessarily your grandma’s church perfume. I love wearing it at work during the day

Love it! I always get compliments when I wear it. It last a long time and a little goes a long way.

Love it

I wish I could put into words how much I DETEST this scent. I can't even describe what it is I absolutely LOATHE about it.

I did not like this at all I'm going to return it

I didn't really care for this one.

One of my new favorite fragrances.

It did not smell good at all, I am going to return it. It had a heavy chocolate and musky smell. I could smell the fruit at the end of the chocolate.

I always get great compliments when I wear it. Its one of my favorites. Yes its very strong when you first spray it on but after about 30 minutes it changes into something really nice. 1 spray of it lasts all day . I love this perfume and I also love the men's for my husband ?? its the only one he wears!

When I wear Angel, it warms me. I can feel the sensuality of the scent.. so luxurious! This has quickly become my signature scent. Thank you for the chance to experience this amazing fragrance.

LOVE! The scent the sophistication and the lasting scent

This perfume is so strong and musky. I had a headache all day from wearing it. Even my family walked by me asking what is that smell. They didn’t like it either.

It only took one spray and I was looking up ways to remove perfume from skin! (Olive oil helps in case anyone else was wondering. Horrible, I immediately felt sick! It starts off with a sickly sweet chocolate smell and once it dries it turns into a stinky patchouli nightmare, I normally love patchouli and musk by the way this was just aweful though. An assault on my nose. Will be returning this one, this is one fragrance I have been curious about for a while since it seems to have such a cult following which is why I am thankful for scent box and glad I didn’t purchase a whole bottle of this stuff!

Absolutely hate it. Smells like kerosene or something initially. Really sharp. Then all I could smell was patchouli and musk.

Has a very strong smell when you first spray it and can be a little overwhelming. Smells nice and warm after it has been on for a while. Definitely is an "older" smelling perfume and wasn't a smell for me.

Not my type of perfume . I put it on waiting to like it but not really liking it .. it has an intense sweet smell.. I feel it’s more for older crowd

It's not what I expected smells better once it's dry.

I only ordered this because I was curious about it's popularity, typically I dislike popular fragrances. The infinite list of notes gave me a headache just reading it but was intriguing. I was in shock when the first sniff transported me to my French school first grade classroom! When thinking about those days I have always associated it with that smell which I thought was just the way the building smelled but it must have been my teacher! It's dark yet light. Floral yet creamy. Cold but smooth. I'm extremely picky with florals but this is layered so well it's hard to deny as a masterpiece. The person who wears this is playful, youthful, and refined.

I love this one!! It is perfect for me!

Intensely delicious. It's not for everyone. It's very strong upfront but dries down beautifully. It smells different on me than it does on my coworkers. I think this is perfect for wintertime.

Can you say Patchouli? I wanted to love it, but I don't. Very strong old lady smell.

I dont like it smells strong and like medication and cleaner

I sent it back for exchange. It smelled like it is made for an elderly woman.

I used to love Angel. I remember when it first came out, you could not buy it because it was always sold out. Someone would walk by and I would say "You're wearing Angel aren't you !!!" They have since changed the formula. It used to smell so sweet. Now it smells like patchouli mixed with rat poison. It smells so chemically to me. I am not exaggerating when I say it is the worst smelling thing I have smelled in a long time. I can not comprehend how something went from being one of my all time favorites to smelling like chemicals mixed with poison, mixed with a dying hippie, mixed with body odor mixed with powder. This is going to be my first return. Oh, and the smell lasts forever, you can't even wash it off.

Sample I received from Macy's smelled better. Fragrance too spicy not floral which I prefer.

I heard so many good things about this one but to me it smells too much like an old lady scent.

I love the Angel scent! It is by far my favorite!

Smells like a grandma

Doesn't smell sweet. Smells like pine trees.

I love it. Starts off really strong, but as it settles, it smells awesome.

way too strong and I put some on to see what family would say on New Years...as soon as I entered the room everyone said geez what is that..they did not like at all..took it off.

Too strong for me and was not sweet like it said it was

this is this first time in almost a year of having scentbox that i ever returned a scent! not for me! smells like a spicy cheap grandma.

Too strong!!!!

Eh, not a fan. A little too masculine for me... and it definitely has staying power.

Smells like something my grandma would wear. Not a fan.

Initially I did not care for it however after it settled it smells amazing. I also purchased this as it was recommended based on my zodiac sign. This is fragrance for the grown and sexy! Someone asked me what I was wearing and there words were “that sent is unforgettable...you smell amazing”

Interesting fragrance. The honey hit me first and I loved it, but I didn't like that much what it came after. My husband, however, who is a Kouros man, loved it and kept it, and it smells gorgeous on him.

Wayyyyy too strong and reminded me of my grandma’s perfume.

Strong strong strong! Has a weird lingering smell that’s too fruity and too musky all at once. Reminds me of a grandma smell. Something that smells nice when it’s on you after a long hug but too much to spray.

I was so hoping I'd love this. But it has some off note to it that just ruins it. I'm a gourmand lover but this isn't it. This smells nothing like it says. All Mugler scents are like this. It does last a long time tho.

Personally it’s just too strong for me, and it gives me older lady vibes. Not my cup of tea. If you prefer a more subtle scent then I don’t recommend this for you at all, but if you’re someone that really like to pack it on then I think this will be the brand for you. I’m not a big fan of Alien either, it didn’t necessarily smell bad it just wasn’t my taste.

I'm not sure if I like this perfume or not. Its SO strong....

Very heavy when first sprayed, but feathers very nice. I like it, but not on top of my list.

I got this by mistake, not realizing there were several different versions of Angel. The one I really liked was the Eau Croisere version, which has a much sweeter smell. This one smells very much like baby powder/incense on me and is VERY strong and rather overbearing if you spray too much. I will say the dry down smell is much nicer with a bit of spice, but the initial spray is just too much. Tread lightly with this one

Whoa, at first, this scent is VERY strong. But in about 20 min, it mellows out and lasts all day. I love it. One thing to note, on me it has a spicy scent, but on my sister it is more sweet. Both smell delectable. Definitely try before you buy the full size. The notes are very accurate, and a spray or two goes a long way.

Nice sweet scent but nothing special

I hated this fragrance. It reminds me of old people. The scent is loud an overbearing.

I have used the actual Angel oil and loved that! This fragrance can be off putting if you are not used to the enhanced subtitles created by the genius of T.M.

too much of a juvenile, candy smell for me but i received numerous compliments every time i wore it

I didn’t like at first but once I had it on for a few it really tones down and smelled very nice

Horrible it really stinks like old people perfume but even my mother didn’t like it

Way too strong

I did not care for this when I first put it on. However, the dry down smells nice, warm and kind of like incense. I love Alien by Thierry Mugler, but this one is way different. It does last a long time though.

Love it! Smells so good.

I really enjoy this scent. At first, it is a bit weird... kind of an odd scent, but that seems to go away. I don't know why, but once I have it on, it smells great. The best part is that it stays around. I put it on one day, and wear the same hoodie a day or two after and it still smells great! I like strong scents though, which isn't for everyone.

Throws me off, after about 15 minutes the smell profile completely changes, on me it is like new age incense which I am a fan of. Just not sure if I like the smell or not will continue to try it. My husband says its not bad.

Gave me an instant headache. Sent it back. Just wasn’t for me at all.

Waaay too strong! Luckily I was able to give it to my grandma and it suited her just fine, since this is a total granny scent!

I don't know if I got an old batch or something but THIS SMELLS NOTHING LIKE THE DESCRIPTION!!! Smells horrible!!

Too strong and powdery

Way too sweet of a smell for me.

I've been in love with this fragrance since I was a kid. I totally get why it's not for everyone but it literally smells like home and happiness for me. The opening honey notes are definitely a lot but I love the dry down of sweet but a bit spicy and alluring. It is strong and sweet so if you don't like that this won't be for you. For me I love it in the cooler months, something about the cool air makes it perfect. Also I feel like this is still okay for the daytime but can also be worn in the evening.

It’s such a strong scent but the dry down is so beautiful. A little goes a long way but I get compliments every time!

I really tried it with this scent. This was an absolutely He11 NOOOO for me, sorry. For starters let me say that I always gives fragrances a second chance and a third chance, just Incase it grows on me. The minute I took this out of the box, I knew i was going to return it. I imagined this smelling like a light scent of chocolate Carmel cupcakes.. i can definitely pick up the chocolate scent but not in a good way. If I smelled this on someone, I would assume they have cheap old perfume on... honestly its horrible.. even the dry down was bad.

I love this smell ????

This one smells amazing. One of my favorites. This was always oen of my moms favorites and its beautiful. The initial scent has a bit of a funky smell but if you give it about 10 min it settles into its true smell.

It smells like it might be ok on someone but on my skin I feel like it smells terrible. Almost like cilantro. That's what I kept thinking. With the right chemistry it could be pretty. It seems to last awhile.

I love the way that it smells in the bottle, but it isn't for me. The scent feel musky, but not in a good way, on my skin. It's likely the patchouli, which can be hit or miss for me.

Elegant, unique distinctive fragrance ! I love it. My new favorite

One of my favorite fragrances. It smells very unique and sophisticated to me. I'm thinking of getting a big original size bottle of this perfume, im not sure if they sell it here or only refillable ones... If they do, I'll definitely get me one at some point.

This is honestly one of the most hideous perfumes I've ever come across. It smells worse than a dollar tree off brand air freshener.

Not my fav.. not really sure what to say but I definitely don’t like it..

This is by far my favorite scent of any I’ve ever used. It’s extremely unique and memorable. If you know it or have smelled it before, you’ll instantly recognize it on anyone passing by. Even though I love it so much, I wouldn’t consider it to be a daily wear scent. I think it’s more for special occasions, date nights, etc.

Not in love. Very baby powdery smelling not really mature smelling but not pleasant either

So good so good , SO GOOD this is a beautiful scent that is a new signature scent !!! Smells absolutely amazing !!!! So GOOd !

I really wanted to like this perfume - it has all my favorite things in it. But it just REALLY doesn't smell good. It smells very "mature" and not at all gourmand. It kinda smells like a wet pile of raked leaves? Really unpleasant.

Last long time. Very noticable

I love this fragrance. It's not to light and it's not a heavy. It's literally perfect.

I had a small sample size of this from a gift set and loved the smell. I received this as my monthly fragrance and it smells nothing like the small sample I received. It made me gag. It's super strong and last s a really long time. Not a fan

Its sssstrong. It does calm down some after about an hour and it smells like baby powder. Except theres this once really strong smell that makes me gag, not sure what it is but it reminds me of black licorice which if that wasnt there i would like it alot more. Probably gonna return.

I didn't like this at all.

An oldie that stands the test of time. Warm, sweet and mature. Definitely a keeper.

Angel is my favorite scent.

Like the scent but it isn't as clean or as sweet as Angel Muse. I don't like the musky linger when you first put it on, but it does go away.

It's a mature fragrances it's a little strong for my taste

This smells horrible when it first goes on but as it dries It smells like a slightly musky cinnamon ginger bread cookie on me. I’d wear it until it runs out but not really a favorite. Very powerful throw, one spray is all you need. I prefer more feminine smells but this will be a fun one for winter date nights.

This fragrance is old school and it is strong, but there is something intoxicating about this fragrance that I love! It last all day. I'd wear this fragrance more so in the winter than the summer time. But I think it's sexy for evening wear.

Very caramel scent. Can be worn anytime and works wel. Strong smell so you really need to like this one.

This is a very mature scent. It bothered my son's allergies and made me glad I could exchange it.

I love Angel because it goes with my natural body chemistry and just a couple of squirts and it last all day...even after going swimming

Descent sent but not a favorite

Not a fan. It is kind of old school musk.

Love this scent, very intoxicating

I would say a lil bit old school. But i like it.

I love the fragrance....it last all day ! Got so many Compliments.....

Loved it!!!

Way to strong

I just love this perfume. It’s classic!

It's such a small amount, the smell doesn't last long. This is not a thirty day supply. In my opinion. it's not worth the $19.95 per month. So I will be cancelling.

Smell's like warm cocco on a cold winter day

It's a nice smell, but nothing to really rave about, my husband wasn't impressed and said it smelled more masculine to him.

My absolute favorite. Always get a ton of compliments when I wear it.

Super strong. Smells manly

The first spray really is overwhelming. But it delicious as it dissipates. Very long lasting and lots of compliments.

Since the first time I smelled this perfume...I was in love!! The scent last forever too.

At first spray I couldn't see what all the fuss has been about, but I like the scent after it has dried down. This is a mature fragrance so anyone under 40 probably will say it smells like their Grandma. I wear into work and get compliments from my residents if that gives you any indication of the level of maturity in the fragrance.

I like either sweet or clean smells. This gave me an instant headache. Not a fan

This is too strong. It was a little better after about an hour but my kids say it smell like old lady perfume.

ALWAYS A FAN!!!! LOVES IT!!!

This scent was too strong for me. It has something overwhelming in the initial spray. It was almost sickening. I gave it a chance and it was much better in the dry down. Still not for me.

This perfume was horrible. It gave me a headache and was almost nauseating. Not for me. This is the fist scent I've returned since subscribing....

I am a sweet gourmand perfume wearer so I bought angel because it has been described as that but the first notes are so strong and unpleasant! After about an hour I did get some of the sweetness and because it is so long lasting I will use the travel one I received but I can't say I would repurchase it. I am hoping after wearing a few times I will grow to love it as I did with an oud perfume I initial hated and if that happens, I will update. Buyer beware, this isn't one you want to blind buy...sample it and wear it for a while before buying a full size bottle!

Smells like old lady perfume. It smelled nothing like the description to me.

I love it. Strong when I first put it on but it like melts into my skill and smells delicious.

I have been wearing ANGEL for many many years. It's my absolute favorite fragrance, I get compliments on it daily, mornings, noon, night, no matter how long it's been on. You can't go wrong with Angel if you love a sexy, warm, elegant scent.

I do not like it at all

Smells like a man’s aftershave to me.

1out of four do I like

It smells like they pulled it straight out of the woods. I even sprayed one squirt and allowed it to just settle and I could not bare the scent. Very overwhelming.

I didn't like this fragrance, but my teenage daughter loves it. So I'm giving 3 stars for myself but 4 stars for my teenage daughter.

This is one of those scents that needs to react well with your skin. For me, it's perfect! I don't get that masculine, musky scent that others talk of. It's floral, fresh, and one of my favorites! I spritz it in my long hair and it gives off this lovely soft spring like fragrance throughout the day

Overwhelming patchouli and musk. I put on a tiny bit and couldn't wash it off fast enough. It's awful and the only scent I've ever sent back for an exchange.

Way to much musk. It reminds me of my grandmas perfume..

I am absolutely in love with this scent! The reviews were very helpful. I think this may be one scent I buy a full size bottle.

I am a 42 yo Caucasian woman. I have long hair, and I spritz a little in my hair (back of the neck). Otherwise, it's too strong if I spray it anywhere else. 5 stars.

This is a nuclear, amazing, masterpiece. Maybe 1/10 people are edgy enough, and possess the right body chemistry to pull it off...and possibly even less than that. It's gorgeous on me and it doesn't even feel like a challenge. Angel is my signature, although I love many frags. I always go back to this because it's stunning in it's wild array, but somehow feels like home. Do test it out before purchasing, this isn't for the weak.

not a fan of the smell. too strong

My fiance told me I smell masculine and was turned off by this sent.

I don't like the smell at all. Too strong and wears off fast

I exchanged Parisienne for this as I thought that was too sweet. What a mistake! I am not a fan of this at all. It is fumey. I can't put a finger on it but this is NOT pleasant. Only allowed one exchange a month so I am stuck with this one. Alien while still not my typical choice I find "appealing" next to this one. Angel is a hard pass for me!

I feel like this scent was not at all what the description describes it as. It has a think of Carmel and then an overwhelming floral smell that doesn't set well with me. I had to wash it off after about 5 mins of wear it wasn't pleasant. Wish I could send it back but I tossed my return label. I'm hoping an older friend enjoys the smell so I can pass it to someone else.

I thought for sure I’d love this one because I love Mugler. But this one doesn’t smell like something a 30 year old would wear. Definitely not what I expected. I would send back but I threw away the return box. :(

I was so excited to receive this perfume, there were so many great reviews that I was sure I was going to love it. I don’t know if it is my body chemistry or what but this is definitely not the fragrance for me. I wish I could give this more than 2 stars but I just can’t. It smells like bug spray to me. I’m returning it.

Not for me, I’m afraid. I agree with previous reviewer that it smelled like soap. Not terrible, but not the sexy sweetness I’m looking for in a perfume. A miss for me.

I’m 25 and this scent was a little too much for me. I think it was for a mature woman. I gave it to my mom it was perfect for her!

I love it I had it before and my daughter used it all.

smells like dirt and dirty patchouli. I was so excited to try this because of all the good reviews but i just cannot with the smell.

Love this scent on me. I receive so many compliments when I wear it, but everyone can not wear it

Always have loved this fragrance!! Now I can travel with it without loosing my actual Angel bottle! ???

Love love love this one! Smells amazing!

I have loved this perfume for almost 20yrs. I love that I upgraded and saw that you had this. Love it!!!

I loved Alien so this was a bit disappointing to me. I was hoping to love it, but something about it doesn’t appeal as much to me. Not as universally appealing. Didn’t get any compliments. I will stick with Alien.

I got this because I love the smell of chocolate, but was disappointed that this was not a prominent scent. To me it smelled soapy

I really enjoyed this scent. I liked Aura better. Its my favorite fragrance so far, but this one is a close second. Long lasting.

Too strong for too long. Wish I could return it!

I wanted to love this scent so badly. It was definitely my type of scent, sweet and crisp. But I had two issues. One, there is a bit of a rank, icky smell to it. Like something spoiled. ???? It could possibly be just the way it smells on ME, but regardless, I couldn't get past it. And two, it reminds me A LOT of the cologne my ex boyfriend wore. He wore Joop, and it is very similar to me. So definitely a no for me.

I love this. I can't stop smelling my wrists. It lingers until the next morning and probably longer. One of my top 5 of all time.

I love it.. stays on for a long time. Get lots of compliments when wearing this perfume.

I love this perfume. I love the compliments I get, I love that all you need is a little and it lasts all day. There are a lot of notes in this perfume so depending on your skin and chemistry you might get something different. However, on my skin its a lovely sweet perfume with the chocolate notes and caramel notes peaking through and the patchouli being the star. It’s a perfect yin and yang.

Too strong, not for me.

Strong at first. Almost masculine. Then fades to a flowery, powder smell

One of my favorites!

Too strong and grandma smelling i hate the smell of it only bad but good part is it last forever

It’s good but it is not the fragrance I remember from many years ago. It’s too strong for work but it is still pleasant enough for me to wear on the weekends when I am running errands. I definitely agree with the observation that it smells better after drying down.

One of my favorite perfumes!!! It's hard for me to try other ones out becuz I get so many compliments from this one. Definitely a perfume worth trying.

It was ok. Didn’t last long on me. Not a scent I would purchase

At first this is very strong and maybe even a bit off putting but if you give it a minute it becomes smoother more musky. I love this scent. It is a bit masculine but it reminds me of a girl wearing her lovers shirt to bed while he’s out of town...and it smells like a mixture of them both together, so that’s how what she's dreaming about when she falls asleep.

I have loved Angel for years. I was so happy to find it here and affordable for me too.

I agree it smells manly or like an old lady. I sprayed it and then took a shower immediately to get the smell off of me .

It smells good, it's just a bit spicier than I'd like. It rests well throughout the day, though.

LOVE IT!!

LOVE IT!!

I always get stopped and asked, "what are you wear?"

It’s. Wry string and to me it smells manly. Once I sprayed it on it smelled more like an older lady. I gave it to my mom and she loves it ??. I can’t wait until next months box!

Absolutely stunningly delicious!! Not overpowering. Soft and so feminine!

Very patchouli forward, if you like patchouli it’s great, however I’m not a fan of patchouli.

Very strong at first. But it fades into something feminine & soft the longer it sits on your skin/clothes.

I didn't like it. It wasnt soft enough for me. It should've been a mens cologne.

Has always been one of my favorites, love it!

Kinda strong smell!!!

Beautiful fragrance!

Love!! I have gotten so many compliments on this fragrance. It's been in my queue twice. A co-worker just signed up so she could get it the first month.

One of my alllltime signature scents. I feel like an angel when I wear it. Get tons of compliments

Got this due to the popularity of it and good reviews but I shouldn't have. I did not like this one at all, I was overwhelmed with patchouli and it gave me a headache. My brother liked it as it had a bit of a masculine scent so I gave it to him. Guess it just isn't for me, I never realized how much I hated patchouli until i sprayed this and it smelled like incense and reminded me of a certain store in the mall that I hated going near because of the smell.

This has always been one of my favorites! I love the unique and sophisticated scent. Extremely classy and mature!

Love It!!!!

So happy that I found scent box and all the many fragrances available, I have been wearing angel for many years and just love it.... if you like spicy scents you will love angel.... thank you Scentbox

Very polarizing scent. At first smell I HATED it! It’s strong and very unique scent. Upon dry down it was better, but still not something I would wear. Not for me!

It smells like it’s for a man. To strong for me...

I love that it is a unique scent like no other..it is very bold and seductive..almost like a invitation to be smelled...

Too strong smells like a man

Fave scent so far

Wish I could give this NO stars. I feel regret and buyers remorse ..

OMG this is awful!! Like pure patchouli. Smells like an old bottle of perfume gone bad. I dont get any of the notes in the discription. Not gourmond not sweet. I did return this one for exchange. In super glad this site offers that option

I love angel it's one of my favorite

Smells like a grandma

Smells like my godmom.

Too strong for my likening.

Love it

Always lived this scent I just wanted a purse spray of it.

Patchouli is my favorite, most beloved scent. Maybe I was expecting too much from Angel, but to me is was just okay, and I didn't pick up on any scent other than the patchouli. I actually prefer the $7 roller-ball bottles of patchouli oil that I've been buying for years. Plus the sillage from Angel seemed very poor. Oh well, hopefully I will be more impressed with Alien.

I ordered this first because I absolutely love this scent and couldn't wait to try it! First thing I smell when others are wearing it is the patchouli undertones, which is my fave scent. It goes on pretty strong, doesn't take much! When it calms down in just a few minutes, smells amazing! The sad thing, it doesn't mesh well with my chemistry ?? which sucks and the scent is completely gone in a few hrs. My mom however loves it and it stays on her! So, it's still a win??

I always beg for samples of this at Nordstrom and never buy it. I am SOO glad I have this now. :) LOVE Angel!

I love it ?

Love love love. It is probably my favorite perfume

Its a nice scent however a little too strong for me. I used to wear this scent many yesrs ago. It smells a little different to me today

Love,love,love angel

Great fragrance

This smell doesn’t not work for me it smell every strong and not sweet like they say it will smell so it’s a big pass for me

I love it

I was expecting a sweeter scent when I read what hints were in Angel, but the initial light, powdery scent that slowly transforms into a sensual and spicy musk turned out to be a pleasant surprise. No, the scent was not what I was expecting; however, when approaching this scent with an open mind it is indeed Angelic all the same.

I didnt care for this scent

Very nice scent.

Not something I would buy but it doesn’t smell bad.

Smells old

I smelled this fragrance once in Macy's and have always debated purchasing it. so for my very first scentbox, I definitely chose this fragrance and I'm so glad I did. I am in love with this scent! It is a strong fragrance, so a little goes a long way and lasts all day. Its warm and sweet, a very sexy scent.

Just not my cup of tea. Almost smells medicinal

Don't know why I'm getting citrus when there's none. I'll have to revisit this at a later date.

i have a love, hate relationship with with scent. I hate the way it smells when i spray it on, but love the way it smells after about an hour. it is very strong and last a long time.

Smells old. Not a fresh floral scent.

Gave me a headache instantly

I have loved Angel since I was around 5. Avon sold it and my grandmother wore it a lot because her mom was an Avon representative. It's more difficult to find in smaller, travel size bottles and definitely hard to find at a lower budget price. This is a God send and angel smells like it was made by God herself.

This perfume is not good! It smells bad! Scent Box is a joke! I cancelled last month, February and they still charged me $18.95. When I called and complained and told them I cancelled and do not want their perfume the woman hung up on me! They then charged me another $18.95! This is FRAUD! This company is NO GOOD!!!

I heard how strong this stuff is so I only sprayed ONE spray in the air and barely walked thru it... Later that afternoon I was told my parfum was making them feel very sick... Never wore it again.

love this scent.

Love it

Love the scents and how they compliment each other..I have had compliments on it and enjoy hearing that others enjoy it as well.

I love Angel! The men in my dance class can't get enough of it--lol! I love the small bottles of Scentbox, they're great to carry in purse!

Outstanding and very bold.

Evening scent, smells pretty.

I first wore Angel back in 2005. It smells so gooood!! I missed wearing this fragrance but it was to expensive for me to keep purchasing full bottles, I'm am very happy that I found sent box. I can now enjoy the fragrances that I love and fragrances I never tried. Thank you Craig and Les And The Scent Box Team!!??

Once this scent airs out I do love it, it surely is bold and different so I am happy I tried it. Not for everyone for sure however, it is worth having in your collection.

Angel has to be one of the best fragrances I've ever had the pleasure of wearing. I tried Angel about 9 years ago and have been hooked ever since. Of course it's not an every day fragrance for me, it's more of a special occasion fragrance (in my opinion). I can't for the life of me figure out why so many reviews are negative, especially the reviews that say Angel smells like flee powder or bug spray. SHAME ON YOU!!!! Thank you Scentbox for having Angel available to your subscriber's.

This is one of my all time favorites. Actually, it IS my favorite. I have the whole collection, lotion, body cream, and all the others that I cannot think of right now. This is an oldie, but it is definitely a goodie. I wore it today since it was cold, and my all my co-workers came in asking me what I had on! This is one that i will always have stock of at my home!

I love this perfume. I have for years. I was so glad to see that Scentbox carried it. It was my first selection. The scent last all day. Different from all the floral, clean scents. Definitely not for everyone. But If you would like something different I suggest giving this a try.

I love it! Absolutely amazing!

It's horrible!!!

I can't say I like it, even a little bit. I'll never wear it. The honey note is very overpowering and I don't care for it.

Its beautiful, elegant, and sexy!!!! This is my go-to on date night or a night out. My number one favorite!

I wish I could give this zero stars. It smells disgusting. It reminds me of my dogs’ flea treatment and it just smells bad in general

I really like this perfume. It's very warm and very distinct. I would definitely not say it's for everyone though! It works well with my body chemistry and makes a long lasting heady perfume. Angel is definitely the proper name for this scent.

I do love this perfume but not for every day. It smells so good and Spicy. I get compliments on it. Gave 4 stars because I would not grab as my “go to” scent. Only occasional scent when I feel a bit spicy. :)

I HATE THE SMELL!!!

I love Angel. Just wish the scents would last longer. Definitely a 5

Angel is a nice balance of a male and a female fragrance.

I wanted to love this perfume. I gave it 3-4 tries, I just couldn't . It smells like old lady and is soooo strong it unbearable.

that my favorite Angle i wear it all the time Bj

Way to strong, didn't like

Hated the smell

Love love love! I've been wearing this off and on for 20 years and I keep coming back. Like it or love it Angel is a classic fragrance!

This is a really nice scent. Its soft and doesn't overpower you at all.

If you suffer from headaches this is not for you! It is very strong

I hated angel it was terrible!!!'

I wore this the other day at work, and someone asked me if I had on bug spray....EMBARRASSING

Been my favorite almost 10 years. Classic, movie star worthy. I get asked all the time, 'what are you wearing?'

Hate it!!! Absolutely can't stand the smell. Way too musky

It's my wife's favorite fragrance.

Good gift set!

THIS PRODUCT IS WONDERFUL...I love the fragrance.... Not too strong but just right.

My favorite perfume at a good price and with fast delivery!

This perfume smells amazing!

Goldie Hawn,... Kate Hudson, ...and Cameron Diaz ... and first ladies also wear this perfume, such as Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush. It is a great perfume, but I would recommend it for special occasions because the scent is on the strong side. Still, if you get star-struck, you can wear it to think of your favorite stars and first ladies.

First smelled this fragrance on a friend about five years ago and have been buying the EDP ever since. I agree that it is a strong smell and only use one "squirt". Someone bought me the EDT and I didn't like it at all. Will definitely only buy the EDP. Another favorite of mine is Fidji by Guy Laroche; a much lighter scent than Angel, but I love them both.

I love my Angel glittering body powder but disappointed that it will not sprinkle out of the box. Any suggestions as previously when I ordered this glittering body powder, the canister had a shaker on top.

When I first tried Angel my first thought was "Oh, that's different" I went about my business that day forgetting that I sprayed it and thought what smells so good? I must say a little goes a long way and it's more appropriate during the winter months. While I'm here, this is the first time I have posted a review and I noticed how angry some people sound when they post reviews. It's just a perfume people, no need to take it so personal.

I love this perfume, my very good friend purchased this for me..And I feel in love with it...

my favorite scent; angel

Beware, this fragrance is soooo strong. The first time I wore it, I sprayed two sprays on my chest (my usual), and every time I took a breath for the first 7 hours that I wore it I could smell it. It is best used when applied very lightly. Don’t let the cute, feminine star bottle fool you into thinking that is a light airy fragrance. It is a deep and seductive scent that has a smoky, spicy, gourmand quality. As much as I love this scent (my hubby loves it too) it is just too strong for daily wear. I really want to try the new EdT version as I hear it is more wearable.

Not recommendated for Pregnant woman....

wanted to like this because of the name and the pretty bottle but it is foul. like home-brand vanilla cake mix that has been left out on the bench for a week. yucky.

Love it. Just keep enjoying how good this smells. Keep sniffing my wrists. Love it!!!

The first time I smelled Angel I was shopping. I asked the woman what she was wearing and told her it smelled"heavenly". She laughed and said it's called Angel. I make my first purchase that day, 7 years ago. I love it!

Could n't stand the smell at first, but because my guy purchased it. I wore it, never had so compliments on how good I smell.

I'll start by saying I used to really hate this scent. After a while I started to think it was "ok". Then I started to get intrigued by some of the notes in it and started to actually like it. My man loves it and it's his favorite women's scent! It is still not my favorite, but I do enjoy it when I wear it. Funny how we can change our mind...

I've been wearing it for years, and I love it. I always get compliments that I smell so good.

I really want to like this scent but it honestly made me gag the first time i smelled it. Its almost tart smelling cant pinpoint it ,but idont smell any honey or choclate or vanilla , reminds me of baby powder n stinky old ladies! Sorry to all the fans!

This stuff is heaven sent...Omg I love it. It brings out the good in you.

This is sickly sweet and really makes me feel ill. Horrible.

The best perfume ever

EVERYONE stops and asks what I'm wearing. Of course, it's always "Angel". Men. women, young, old, --- everyone loves it. To anyone who doesn't, I must question their sense of smell.

One of the great feminines that was a game-changer of modern perfumery. Just a little lasts all day, and it works on guys as well as the ladies, especially in small doses and for those guys who don't like the tarry notes in A*Men.

I love this perfume and get nothing but compliments when i wear it

People who spray on this scent freely are using it wrong. A little goes far ... just to be noticed. It brings back memories of childhood but is also invitingly sexy - a little dab underneath your clothing - where it counts.

I actually have read quiet a few of Gracie's reviews on here and most are insane but I agree with her on this one. It smells like flea powder. My mom sprayed it on at a dept. store while we were shopping. A little while later it smelled like she had sprinkled flea powder on. Not something I would want to smell like a wet dog with flea powder.

My body chemistry blends well with this fragrance and my friend absolutely loves it when I wear Angel. The best description that I received from a co-worker was alluring.

one of the worst perfume is angel i dnt know how they give such name it shoul be devil

Not a good fragrance very cloying and reminds me of a flea spray I use on my cats. Smells similar to Coty's Emeraude. Very powdery and chemical smelling. I received this as a gift expecting it too be great boy was I wrong! Try a little Hartz Flea and tick Spray if you want to try Angel and not pay a high price! Very old lady-ish.

When I wear Angel, there is "magic" in the air, and I'm the "magnet." Attractive, sensual and yes, oh so sexy. Who doesn't enjoy all that?

All I know is I'm hooked on Angel. Everytime I were it someone compliments me. I'm in heaven when I were this. 100 % the best fragance ever....

AS A MAN I LOVE THIS SCENT ON WOMEN. DO NOT UNDERSTAND THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE IT. YES, ALITTLE STRONG AND SWEET. I LIKE (LOVE) ONES LIKE THIS. P.S. JUST PUT A FEW DROPS OR LITE SPRAYS ON !!!!!

Finally tried this out for real today. As I suspected it is not for me but more interesting than I formerly gave it credit for. If this had been around in my long ago club hopping days I'd probably have had some. My opinion only but this is not really one for "nice girls". This is for a woman out to be naughty on purpose. If you are a single girl headed out for an evening of looking for Mr. Goodbar, this is the one for you. "Dirty, sweet, oh yeah"...

The bottle so blue you my beloved fragrance. Sensuous, sweet and heavy. Bewitching.

It smells like burnt caramel and a musky patchouli and it isn't blended right.I tried Eau de Star and it smells exactly like Angel but lighter but Eau de Star still has that burnt caramel smell to it. I would wear Eau de Star but not Angel.

I smelled this years ago and was not crazy about it at all. I tried again around the holidays and my body chemistry must have changed because it smells totally different on me now and in a good way. I receive a lot of compliments when I wear this fragrance. The drydown is so soft and airy. I wear this everyday now.

From ballet dancer to window-dresser to one of the great and innovative new breed of avant- garde Parisian couturiers, Thierry Mugler has always thanked his lucky stars for his success, and as a tribute bottled his first perfume in a stunning blue-tinged glass star. Angel has become just as much a glittering star as he has, and no wonder - it´s truly out of this world! Never one for the remotely conventional in anything, Mugler has concocted a fragrant fantasy so delicious it´s almost mouth watering! No jasmine and roses or other romantics here. Instead it´s a childhood nostalgia trip of luscious goodies like juicy red berries, dewberry, creamy vanilla, wild honey touched with the orange tang of bergamot and - wait for it - chocolate and caramel. Not just your nose but your taste buds will be in seventh heaven - or perhaps somewhere warmer if you dislike it.. The chocolate/caramel notes actually comes from a new synthetic called Veltol and Angel is the first perfume to use it. It all results in an eccentric trifle or a bizarre adventure..too far fetched to be serious. Just because it´s called Angel doesn´t mean it´s pure and virtuous; that innocent-looking star bottle is really a hand grenade in disguise! Not to be used by anyone who thinks she´s angelically sweet, Angel is for women who don´t have a halo and don´t want one. This is a budoir perfume, but you can wear it out of bed to lure whoever into it later.. By day, Angel will go perfectly with anything low-cut on top and high-cut below, and at night in sexy slinkies and slitheries, preferably in shiny and glittery fabrics of dramatic black, voluptuous purple, shocking pink, electric blue, blazing gold and lots of shimmery silver. It´s strictly for grown-ups who frequent grown-up places and get home very, very late - if at all.

The first time I smelled "Angel", a flamboyant six-foot-three salesman with the shoulders of a linebacker encased in a baby blue zoot leaned over the counter and sprayed me. I recoiled. "is this a joke?" It was the worst thing i had ever smelled. I suffered then from the naive belief that women should smell only like flowers, fruits and possibly candy; yet Angel, perversely, smells of them all, with the same relation to your average sweet floral as the ten-story-high demonic Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from "Ghostbusters" has to your average fireside toasted sweet. In that sense, Angel is certainly a joke, bad or good, and you should only wear it if you know how to tell the joke properly. A woman wearing Angel should be utterly original and out to create merry hell! Countless perfumes have copied parts of it - like Victor & Rolfs´ "Flowerbomb", Calvin Kleins "Euphoria" - but they mistakenly play it straight. Although Angel is sold as a gourmand for girls, spoken of as if it were a fudge-dipped berry in a confectioner´s shop, it´s all lies. Look for Angel´s Adam´s apple; a handsome resinous, woody patchouli straight out of the pipes-and-leather-slippers realm of men´s fragrance, in a head-on collision with a bold black currant (Neocaspirene) and a screechy synthetic white floral. These two halves, masculine and feminine, share a camphoraceous (mothball) smell, which gives Angel an icy brightness above its overripe - or even rotting - rumble. The effect kills the possibility of cloying sweetness, despite megadoses of the cotton-candy smell of ethylmaltol. It´s not an easy perfume to wear, and some people really take offense or feel ill in its presence. It´s not a crowd pleaser either. Personally I think it has created a whole new category in perfumery, but a most difficult one. You don´t wear it, it wears you - and you will get some attention - not necessarily positive. In New York it has been banned from certain uppity restaurants ! And what about the men ? Most men do not respond in favour of this louder-than-loud all-synthetic concoction. I´m afraid I have to agree.

Overpowering on me. It blends with sweet&strong flowery scent. Anybody has suggestion? how should i wear this perfume so that it wont smell overpowering? combining with other light scent perfume, maybe?

This fragrance is very nice-a complex sweeter smell. One spray is all that you need-anymore than that would be a bit overpowering. This scent will last all day. The dry down is beautiful, soft, and feminine.

My mom bought me a few samples of perfume for Christmas last year and among them was Angel. At first whiff I thought it was somewhat inviting, so I wore a small dab to work the next day. Now I don't know if it's my chemistry or the scent itself, however, I smelled like a grandma! I just thought it to be disgusting and very 'old' smelling. I suppose this is because I'm a huge fan of more fresh scents like Acqua di Gio, Cool Water, and Ocean Dream. I would definitely not reccommend this to anyone!

I apologize to those of you who like Angel but I sampled it for the first time today and I was blown away by the awful smell.It smells like fried caramel and not in a good way. What is in this stuff? This should have been called poison because it is strong enough to put a hurting on somebody!

Angel and Euphoria are the only scents I've ever come across that truly make me nauseous. Both are just overpowering!

i bought a bottle from highpoint victoria, love it after about half a bottle,it wouldent spray any more and vaporated, but did not follow though to ring myers, because i had it for a year,and wear it on special events, and they are supposed to sent me samples every so offen. please reply. thankyou.maryann

My radar goes haywire when I detect Angel in the air. I want to hunt down the wearer and eat her, on the spot. Yes, I've been told some ladies of the night overdo Angel giving it an unsavoury connotation, but on an attractive woman it's a huge turn-on.

Wow I am wearing it right now. What an amazing smell. Angel is definitely the most interesting, clever and sexy perfume there is to wear. It's number 1 in France and not for nothing. If I have to choose my no one it's definitely Angel.

While I have read mixed reviews on this product, if applied correctly...i.e., spray and walk into mist, it should have the desired effect of being light, sensual and not overpowering to anyone besides those who you are (and choose) to be close to. A mistake often made by people in application is several sprays directly on the body. This is a strong scent, meant to be used lightly for optimum effect. Most recent compliment upon learning I was wearing "Angel" was "WOW, a friend wears this and I hate it because it is so strong, but it smells really nice on you"...For all who complain of this or any strong scent...follow the application rule. All perfume should be applied gently as, if you were unaware, perfume it is meant to be alluring...noticable to you and those who you wish to be close to you. If you are receiving negative feedback, you are wearing it wrong. My lover adores it and his only complaint is the lack of residue on my pillow. THIS is a compliment! He also found a sample in a catalog, which he kept to enjoy in my absence...it has since dissapated, so he bought me a bottle to keep at his place, in case I forgot to apply or pack for a few days together...WHAT HIGHER COMPLIMENT COULD A WOMAN DESIRE FROM A MAN REGARDING PERFUME?

Helen, Oh my God... how are you? I went on this site for the first time in several months and went to the Angel postings looking for you and found your posting from last October! I am so sorry I've neglected this site and YOU for soooo long! How r u? It's July in Ohio and summertime. Lots of rain this spring and summer but the nice days are really beautiful. Not too HOT so far this year. How is your life treating you? I've been working as a massage therapist for alittle over two years now. I work with cancer patients and I love it. My children are growing... I have a daughter who'll be a senior in high school in the fall. My son will be entering the 6th grade. I'm also keeping busy with some dear friends too. I'm still in love with Angel... I've started wearing pure Patchouli oil (a little goes a long way but it's beautiful) and I wear an inexpensive one called "Skin Musk". It's only about $12.00 but it's been around for a while and I love it. It's warm and cozy and pretty. My sister-in-law has started wearing "FlowerBomb". It's smells great on her. Let's see... those are the only ones I'm wearing lately. Helen, I don't know when I'll hear from you but I'll check this site and the Angel postings for your reply. I hope and pray that all is well with you and your family. Yiasou, my long distance aussie greek friend! God be with you.

While waiting for a train 2 days ago an attractive lady starts walking towards me about twenty feet away and I could smell the Angel she had on wrap its amell around me like tentacles. She sat across from me on the subway car and I almost barfed. I actually had to get up and move to another part of the subway car. Luckily it wasn't rush hour and there were other seats available. This stuff really almost makes my eyes tear and does make my stomack sick to smell it. It has to be the worst female fragrance ever made. Other than that she was beautiful except for the Angel she had on.

I have never tried Angel. Somehow I picture it smelling like what the smell would be if you combined Euphoria with Hypnotic Poison. I love these two perfumes and have a hard time deciding which I like better so i have sprayed one on each wrist and I must say the combination is very interesting. (Husband likes Euphoria better)

I would just like to say, "On me, Angel smells like 'Magic'! Men and women, stop me and ask me, "What are you wearing?" I, of course, say my Angel!

I have read some of men's comments on this perfume and I agree to them. I wish my finance just never wear this perfume. It just too sweet and looks like if a kid is wrapped up in sweets!!

I have tried this several times, different seasons and is just so overpowering! I have to give credit to Mugler, the concept of this perfume was supposed to be a memory of funfairs when he was a child. Well, it missed the mark. By alot. It's like a thick, sugary syrup with patchouli mixed in (which, by the way, is supposed to represent the smell of sawdust. Right.) Sixteen years after it's release and it still costs the earth- it is not worth it. I always dread that someone will spray it when I'm in Sephora!

Put on my little sample of Angel.It smells very sweet like vanilla,cotton candy with a little fruit.Very nice...

I got a HUGE amount of compliments on this scent, even though I found just..ok. Other women in particular seemed to love it, which is not what I was looking for. I think chemistry is particularly important with this scent.Its either going to be great on you, or ghastly.

Ok i know angel is common....but i just cant stop coming to it...its the chocolatey smell mixed with vanilla which is not the sickly headachey type...my other favs are Chanel no 5 elixir, jovan musk and TBS white musk.

Only 2 other scents create this adverse negative reaction, Ciara and Poison. It literally sticks my stomach and I'm a perfume junkie and tried a LOT.

I smelled this the other day on a young woman and asked what she had on. I sorta figured it was Angel since it has some similarities to Angel for Men which I can not take and she said that's what she was wearing. I said "oh ok". I would never say to someone you smell badly but she smelled bad. I see that over 600+ people here have posted and mostly positively but I guess I am a man that would never wish my woman to smell like this ever. I would rather her wear nothing at all than wear this perfume, it was cloying, nauseating and made me wish to find fresh air just as the men's version does. I understand everyone is different but I really don't understand the appeal of this or the men's version of the fragrance.

If you like Angel, but think it's too strong, I have a sugestion: Eau de Star, from Thierry M. It's very similar to Angel, but weaker and more comfortable, won't be agressive to people who don't like strong fragrances.

I wore this briefly in 1994, I bought a small trial w/ a lotion I remember getting lots of compliments..I used only a dab behind each ear..I think that is the perfect amount as it is strong, yet beautiful in small doses..

My hubby get one for me this year. He loves it so much. Unfortunately, when i it on....it's just sucks. Too strong for me to 'carry' it. Maybe it suites for aged lady with high class life style who dresses classy branded clothes but it didnt work on me ...the ordinary person. I enjoy my Burberry so much. Anyone can suggest any type of fragrance that can reduce the "strong" scent.....may citrusy/light floral scent to be combined together?

It is quite refreshing to find a scent that does not smell like the average, ordinary, everyday scents produced by stores such as Victoria's Secret and Bath and Body Works. This scent demonstrates high quality, which is reflected in its price. In addition, this unique fragrance is quite mature and individualistic, and should not be worn by teen-agers; it would be quite inappropriate. Thank you Ms. Mugler for creating a worth-while fragrance.

Of course this fragrance isn't for everyone, you have to like patchouli, but I think its a wonder mix. I will always wear it. Thank You for making it Mugler.

this is for all those who didnt like even a bit if angel , can now try the new eau de star, iam sure u will enjoy it, forget this stinky old stuff which is very annoying and cloying

LOL I enjoy seeing all of the controversy regarding Angel. I think that Angel is an amazing scent but definitely must be used in moderation. Not for everybody, but if I am in the right mood nothing else will do.

It was given to me as a gift. I never knew about it! Since then, I am addicted to the smell and wish I can afford an endless supply!!

I agree that this perfume's "performance" is absolutely dependent on one's body chemistry. I was in Neiman Marcus yesterday and the saleswoman had this one and it was magnificent. I have never smelled anything like it. I tried it, walked around the mall for a few hours, certainly enough time to really get a sense of it and it was just not good at all. Two different people; two different scents.

That hits it home for me a has-been 90's drag queen noted this is she/his fav fragrance recently. This scent is just horrible strong mix of patchouli with sweet sugar notes. I can see RuPaul appealing to a men's fragrance trying to dress in drag to make itself a women's scent.

I know it's hugely popular and touted as the most recognizable fragrance in the world, but it's the patchouli that ruins it for me. I wish I liked it but I just can't pull it off.

cant handle a bit of it too overpowering and very very strong, hits ur mind very badly, sure headache. better try prada, narciso rodriguez, hypnose homme,

This is my all time favorite. People stop me on the street to tell me I smell amazing...and where can they get it..It is dependent on your body chemistry, and if it works for you you will never wear anything else.

This perfume for women seems to divide opinions like no other scents in the last decade or so, some even managing to go over the top with their hatred for this timeless classic. Can't be bothered with those who hate Angel with a passion, I'm just glad not everyone likes it which in turn makes it more mysterious and alluring. This fragrance is totally classy, unique, and sexy. Most emphasize on the edible sweet character of the scent but I think there's more to it, a distinctiveness and plenty of sophistication. This is the best for some romancing (very sensuous indeed) from a man's point of view. Not among the favourites of my girl but she's a darling, wears it just for me. Love her and that angel beside her. ;)

For being so *Christianly* you sure do have ALOT of hate built up in you! I too, don't like alot of perfumes but its never made me want to *kill* nor do I wish they would *choke* to death on a perfume either! Try turning your hate into something more pleasant for a change. Since when did perfume turn so violent?

Do you feel this strongly about a perfume that you want people to choke on it? Come on, it's just a fragrance! There is much more to life then wanting people to suffer because they like a perfume! Hum! Take a deep breath around you! You smell it? It's life and everything around you was design to have scent. Just because perfumers make perfume, they know EVERYBODY will not appreciate THEIR taste. It's just perfume, come on!

"Angel" is a bit strong, and is not for everyone. However, it hasn't given me psychotic urges like Petite Lass. Perhaps my sample was stale? ;)

Excuse me? And you dare to call yourself a Christian? I think you need to develop some tolerance and perhaps some insight my dear.

Being a Christian I was quite curious as to how a perfume called "Angel" would smell like. I was mortified. It's so offensive that knowing people think they smell good with this on is quite angering. Strutting around proudlt while stinking up the place makes me want to kill them. Maybe they should just choke to death on it or I'd do it for them. I hope you get the idea of how bad it is.

As many have stated this is a love or hate perfume. This scent works well on some but not others. I gave mine a rest for some years and went back to it a few weeks ago. It still smell fantastic to me! It did not sour in the bottle. The lotion I got is still as potent and did not separate, as some do from age. I still love this scent, it is worth investing in, if you are a collector of perfumes and fragrances. Its piercing edge has, to some, caused so much controversy. If you love it, then love it! The same goes with the negative view. Only those persons who appreciates the skill of perfumers or "noses" know that it is a complicated task. I love perfume. Yes, at times I will not love every scent that comes on the market and that's why we have such varieties. This scent still gives me that bottom-pit stomach feel.

Angel is the most intoxicating, sensual, mood lifting and attention grabbing frangrance I've ever worn. It's powers are magical...on me. When I first smelled it in the bottle, I thought it smelled like moth balls, BUT being the daredevil I am, I decided to try it and it changed my outlook on perfume for life. Certain frangrances smell better on certain people and vice versa. This scent is the epitome of that rule. You can either wear it beautifully or it absolutely stinks on you. Try it out before you buy, you will know within 10 minutes if it's for you.

Bubble Gum! Bubble Gum! That's what i'm thinking when i smell this scent. It's overwhelming sweet but not in a pleasant way. It reminds me of little children with sticky hands and faces full of left overs from the candy they have been eaten. No offend to the lots of women who like this scent but for me it's making me sick if i smell it too long.

I love the Angel body cream and the perfume. So beautiful and sensual.

To each his own, Angel is a very sensual and grown/sexy scent; just not on you. Please refer to yourself as a FOOL .Apparently you don't have a clue how perfume and body cheministy can play a role . Grow up and try ANGEL again someday.

Hi Cathy sorry its been a while since my last post but i did post another 2 messages earlier and for some reason they didnt go thru, maybe i was posting too many on the same site and thought i better slow down! anyway how are you, how is Ohio and your kids, hope you are all well, we have spring now and the flowers are beautiful but hayfever is starting and im not enjoying it one bit! how is you perfume hunting going have you tried any new ones? ive just tried the new M from Mariah and its really nice reminds me of No.19 which i love, and also ive bought Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille which im addicted to right now, it is a smoky vanilla and its yum, also the new L Lolita is also a really nice vanilla, the new Covet by Sarah Jessica is another nice one that smells like Hypnotic Poison with some greenery, too many nice new ones and i cant keep up! xmas is coming up are you doing anything special? i cant wait to go for a swim, we dont do it enough here in Canberra, anyway get back to me soon ive missed your posts, yiasou from your aussie buddy Helen.

What a beautiful name, wasted on this stench. Truly disgusting. All than junk just mixed up together, sold to fools who don't realize they smell like toxic waste. Whoever made it must have been super drugged up that day.

I love Angel perfume so much.When I first tried it I fell in love with it.It smells so good and it only takes a little to last all day.I would prefer Angel over any other perfume.

I love Angel perfume and body cream. It smells so beautiful on me. Everyone compliments me on it!

Angel body cream is luscious and beautiful. It is creamy soft and has the most beautiful sensual scent. I get compliments every single day. It is much softer than the EDP spray.

I've never had a perfume literally make queasy upon smelling it, but Angel did. I always thought people were being overly dramatic when they said a perfume "made them sick", but now I understand. Chocolate and patchouli should never be combined! Approach this with caution.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Angel. This is the sexiest perfume around! Men love it too!

I can normally smell the difference between synthetic and natural musk, sandalwood or other ingredients used in fragrances. This is because, I think, if high percentage of synthetic ingredients are used the chemical always sits on my skin with a horrid toxic smell and a super-tenacious staying power (whereas natual ingredients tend to fade away more nicely). In other words, Angel is a nightmare - above all I smell an extremely strong synthetic musk which is totally unbearable, it really smells like toxic waste rather than fragrance. It is highly unethical for the so-called perfumers to fool the consumers into spending money on such cheap chemical crap. If they desperately want to sell it, they should put it on the shelf of one-dollar shop. That is the price it deserves with regard to the cost of raw materials.

This fragrance is unique but way too strong and over the top. Not suitable for women who work in cubicles or rooms that are close to other colleagues'. Though I like the scent, I've always had complaints from others about how much perfume I've applied when I've only used ONE drop. Probably suits women who have strong body odor to mask ;)

I don't like to use disgusting words to describe a perfume - and I'm not trying to offend anyone - but this literally smells like vomit on my skin. Absolutely horrid. I asked several others to sniff my wrist and they thought it was disgusting, too. This scent must be totally dependent on body chemistry, because so many people love it, but it is definitely NOT for me.

I love the fragrance and I also love the way it stays with you all the time. It is the best kind I have ever wore and that is my number 1 favorite type of perfume I prefer to wear.

Hi Helen! Hope you had a lovely Easter with your family. I want to apologize for not returning a message to you sooner. I just returned from New York City. I took my children to see their father in NY. We had a good time and I'm glad they got to see their dad. I may not be married to this man anymore but I still love his family and thankfully, they seem to still love me. Did a little shopping in NYC at a Sephora and saw a few new fragrances but nothing that really stood out to me. I'll have to try the ones you suggested to me in your last post. I did come across a really DELICIOUS body lotion though. Victoria's Secret has a new line called "MOOD" and it comes in three different fragrances... I love the "Sweet Cravings" scent. I bought the body lotion but I think they have a perfume version of it too. A long time ago I put together a trio of oils at this little shop known for letting customers make their "own scent" with oils. I added my three oils to a neutral smelling lotion they had a created my "own" body lotion... and you know what? My version smelled almost exactly like the "Sweet Cravings" from VS. I was amazed! Anyway... next time you're at a VS, give it a whiff! I hope you and your family are well. The weather is getting warmer but we are still having some very cold and windy days. This weather is nuts! I look forward to hearing from you again soon. Bye for now!

Just wanted to comment on the Angel body products and how incredible they are. If you think the actual perfume is too strong, but still like the scent, try some of the body products. I have the shower gel, body cream, body oil spray and the lotion. They are all incredible. Out of these, the body cream and body oil spray are my favorites and smell the truest to the actual scent without being overpowering. Plus, you can layer them extremely well. In fact, they all smell so awesome and are so lasting on skin, that you probably wouldn't even need the perfume at all. Especially if you shower with the gel, then layer on some of the body cream and oil. You do have to spend a few minutes rubbing them into your skin, but once you do they are not greasy at all. The scent lasts all day too!

Don't care for the perfume per se but I like the body lotion. The fragrance just seems so overdone and nothing smells worse than someone doused in Angel. The lotion is much more subtle and soft making it more wearable. I agree with a previous poster who sprays it only on her lower back creating just a hint of the scent. The bottle really should have come with a warning to use very very very sparingly.

Hi again Cathy, hope you and kids are well, is it still snowing there? wish we had some snow and some rain, ive been trying to think of some frags you might like, dont know if you like orientals but the new one from Armani called Code is really nice, it has ginger and flowers its very similar to Classique, you could also try Sonia Rykiel in the yellow t-shirt apparently its similar to Angel, its not available here, also Popy Moreni is also similar (not the one thats just called Popy) have you tried euphoria, thats also in the Angel category I really like that one, anyway try them and let me know how you go and also let me know of any others you try, anyway KALO PASKA! if i dont hear from you earlier, bye for now Helen.

I usually wear light day scents like Aqua Di Gio by Armani, but I reacquainted myself w/ Angel more recently. It's very true that this fragrance wears differently on each and every person. On me, it doesn't smell very citrusy at all, but smells more of chocolate and patchouli. Both men and women seem to be extremely attracted to Angel, almost as if it contains a seductive pheromone. Luckily, no one has told me that they don't like it or that it sucks the oxygen out of the air. It is very strong, so a little goes a long way. It is a bit pricey, but considering it lasts so well, it's worth it. If you want to smell out of the shower fresh, wear Aqua Di Gio, but if you want to be sexy and sultry wear Angel and get phone numbers from both men and women!!

A couple of you ladies have mentioned that Hillary Clinton wears this stuff. I have a lot of respect for her. I may even vote for her. But, I can't wear this stuff anymore...now that I associate it with her. Now, I'm once again searching for a nice FEMININE scent. I might go back to True Star. Who knows...? But, when I smell this stuff now, it's a little too masculine for me. I keep thinkin' of Hillary Clinton. And her pant suits. And helmet hair. A very smart woman, but...meh... It's like, when I wear my Chanel No. 5, I think of Marilyn Monroe. Feminine, girly, funny, beautiful and underneath it all, very smart also. I'll go back to my Chanel for now. So, I'm not sayin' Angel makes me sick or anything. Just that it ain't for me. Ladies (and the few gents who added their comments), thanks for your honesty. And for mentioning that Hillary Clinton...ewww. Where's my Chanel?

The first time I wore this was also the first time I tried out Dove Cool Essentials deodorant. I kept smelling this underlying weird kinda rancid odor. Wore a different deodorant the next day and didn't smell that funk. A co-worker of mine wears this and I love how it smells on her. So I got a sample and my hubby and I love how it smells on me as well. It's not as sweet as scents I usually go for. It's got a musky vibe to it. The bit that stands out most for me it the vanilla...a little of the chocolate too. The negative reviews here are cracking me up! But, I guess it depends on one's body chemistry and taste. Personally, I like it.

Hello Helen! Nice hearing from you again! Hope all is well. The weather here in Ohio... very cold recently with lots of snow. The children had several days off from school for the extreme cold and snow... but it is starting to warm up and the days are getting longer so that is very good! I've been scoping out other fragrances on this web-site and have come to find out that you are a friend to many! That's GREAT! You've helped a lot of other fragrance junkies (like us) better understand what some of these frags are about.... thank you from me. I've found a fellow greek friend and I hope to stay in touch. So, I wanted to tell you that I did try the Juicy Couture... nice but not really my kind of scent... it's a little hard to explain though... patchouli is in it with a fruity top note. Nice, but not my "style". I've also tried Prada which is essentially patchouli and amber... nice but I got a little tired of it and gave it to my mom! My most recent purchase was "7 Notes" by Jivago... it's a real pretty oriental and dries down VERY nicely... alittle heavy so I know I wouldn't be wearing it when the weather gets warmer. It's got some cinnamon tones and reminds me a little of Opium which I used to wear many years ago! I'd love to find another alternative frag that I love as much as Angel... any new suggestions Helen? Other news... my ex-husband (my kids father) is moving away from our area and re-locating to New York City because of a new job... he's from there originally. Well, my kids are so sad he's leaving. I hope they will adjust and see him as often as possible. He just got them a web-cam for the computer so that will be good... they'll be able to actually see each other... amazing! Please take good care Helen and I hope to hear from you again very soon!

I am also a guy and I love Angel. I truly feel that both the mens and womens versions could be unisex. I can imagine the mens version on a woman, and the womens version on a man. I am glad to know that there are other guys out there that love this awesome scent also. BTW, I also love the mens version of Angel and sometimes, when it is really cold out, lightly layer the mens with the womens version. Truly incredible!!!

anyone who looks for a deal be careful, you are usualy buying old perfume, so if you think you can get fresh angel for 30 bucks or so, just bring it to a store like nieman marcus or any dept store that turns around there stock, and just compare yours to theres. i bet you will se a color difference, angel should be almost purple, not light blue and smell of achahol. and what ever you do dont buy on ebay!!!!!

This is the absolutley worst crap ever to be liquified. Wash it off quickley! Every man almost goes green and runs out to vomit, and then shouts in anger and grasping for air. It owes all to Muglers fashion status. And we all know what smells he gets off on...hm

Hi Luna, i have tried Amen, my son has it in a mini, i used to like it but now im getting sick of it cos he wears it all the time, it smells like incense to me with coffee mixed in, it might have been the one you tried, but i prefer Angel to Amen, it really is more mannish, see ya, Helen.

Hi Cathy, i apologise for not getting back sooner, we had a big thunderstorm here and my modem got fried (thanks to the kids for not turning it off) so ive been offline for a few weeks, anyway how are you, and thanks for asking about my son, hes doing fine but wingeing a lot(boys!) so you are a nurse, i always wanted to be a nurse but got married and never got round to it, it must be hard being a single mum its hard enough looking after kids being married! so whats Juicy Couture like? my son has a mini of Amen i used to like it but now dont, it smells like incense to me, with coffee mixed in, also i forgot to tell you i was holidaying at the same time as Nicole Kidman, she has a house near my parents beach house, i didnt run into her, but my friend saw her at the supermarket, shes even more beautiful than on films she told me, and a lovely person, what the weather like there, is it still cold, here its been very hot, (ACT) so i cant wear my Angel, cant handle it in the strong heat, well thats all for now, hope to hear from you soon, Helen.

My new fave. I know some people don't care for it as it is a heavier scent and that's okay. Everyone's entitled to their opinion and mine is that I love it!

I adore it, just received some as a gift and it transports me to another world. Can't wait to buy other lines in this fragrance.

Mysterious and innocent... provocative and alluring. Totally woman!

I really regret that I cannot wear Angel because of the heavy patchouli note it contains - still it is one of the most capricious, seducing, crispy fragrances I have ever known and I envy all women who can get along with this one!

Hello Helen! So nice to hear from you again. It sounds like you had a good time on holiday. We don't take enough "holidays" here in the states. I always amaze that when it's SO COLD here, it's so warm in Australia. Thank you for telling me a little about yourself. Before I forget, I hope your son is doing OK after his minor surgery... having children is an exercise in worry. It's also wonderful but I feel like I'm always worrying about their safety. I am a single mother of two children... my daughter is 15 years old and my son is 10 years old. I am a registered nurse but I returned to school to get a license in therapeutic massage. I wanted to care for people in a more wholistic, non-invasive way. My parents and family live in Michigan and I'm in Ohio. I have family in New York and California and was just in Chicago this last summer. I love Chicago! I would LOVE to experience Australia. I do have cousins there and I would love to go. I haven't been to Greece yet and I'm so looking forward to going one day... that is the one thing I really want to do before I get too old! As I'm writing this, I can smell the chocolate tone of my Angel perfume. How could anyone not love this stuff? Different body chemistries I think... I just tried a new one today called "Juicy Coutoure"... Someone posted a message about a fragrance named "Amen"... is this one by Thierry Mugler too? Anyway Helen... I hope to hear from you again soon. Every time I go on to this website and type in ANGEL, I always look for a message from you. Yiasou Eleni!! Take care and hope to hear from you again very soon!

When I tried this out at the department store I remember falling in love with the chocolate notes but I notice that I don't get the same thing from the bottle that I bought, instead I get more of a dirty patchouli. Could the SA have accidently sprayed AMEN on me? Just wondering cause I just got over reading the reviews for AMEN and notice how some rave about the chocolate note and some woman love to wear this as well. Did anyone here prefer Amen over Angel? Thanks!

Sorry i forgot to mention that i also have cousins there in Chicago which i havnt met yet but hoping to in the future! see ya, Helen

Hi Cathy and happy New Year, sorry for taking so long to answer as i just got back from holidays, i was having such a good time, i didnt wanna come back, you know what our greek holidays are like lots of laughter dancing and wine, and lots of food! how were you holidays, hope you had a great time, you wanted to know more about me well, i am also second generation greek, my parents were born in Greece, me and my brothers and sisters were born here, i have three sons, the oldest is 18, (and a handful) he lives and breathes cars at the moment, as for my taste in perfume, it seems a lot like yours, Kenzo Elephant i have and love, (also a little similar to Angel) my son bought me hypnotic poison for Xmas and i finished my mini, also just purchased the new one from D&G called The One which is very nice, and so is the new one from Hillary Duff (smells like coconut) and have you tried Lolita Lempicka, smells a lot like ouzo when its first sprayed, I love it, hypnotic poison is really nice as well, at the moment its very hot here, and ive been wearing O De Lancome which is really refreshing, anyway im off to take my son for minor surgery now (thanks to soccer) yiasou for now and hope to hear from you very soon, Helen.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use it sparingly. Someone around you maybe holding her breath, saying nothing just to be polite. I really, positively hate this smell. I usually love sweet, heady scent, but this one is just so...overpowering.

Let me preface this by saying that I like heavier gormound type scents. I just don't think that I can warm up to Angel, for two reasons. 1. The first twenty or so minutes after spraying this on where horrifying. Like I said, I like heavier and sweeter scents, but Angel was way too much. It was sweet to the point of being cavity inducing (not to mention headache inducing). The sweetness started to back off slightly, but only because the patchouli seemed to be fighting it for dominance. I'm not one who absolutely hates patchouli, but I do think that a little goes a long way in some perfumes, and unfortunately for Angel, it was also just way too much. After a few hours this did morph into something wearable. Not great, but definately not as terible as it had been. Which brings me to the second reason I just don't see my self ever wanting to wear this. It started to smell very familiar. The more I sniffed, the more I was sure that I had smelled this before. Then it hit me. This is my mother in laws perfume. Well, that was the final nail in the coffin. I certainly don't like the dried down version enough to put up with the awfulness at the begining, or wear something worn by a woman I'm not altogether fond of. Oh well, more for her.

This to me is the best perfume a woman could wear, end of. I know some women find it too strong but men will go crazy if you're wearing this genius of a sweet creative juice. I don't know why most women choose to go with the same old fruity/floral aromas, if you want to stand apart from the trendy crowd, Angel is for you. This definitely comes off as a classy scent among the more popular and typical girly fragrances. Wear this for that romantic dinner or for when you're just cuddling with him, believe me you'll bring the man down to his knees. ;) I'm glad not everyone likes this one, otherwise it would have been overplayed like L'eau D'Issey and the likes. I just don't want to let my girl go when she's wearing this magical scent. I can never thank Thierry Mugler enough for creating this perfume.

I have been wearing this fragrance exclusivelyfor about 2 years and have had more compliments than any other fragrance I've ever worn before. I've tried fragrances that I've loved on someone else and on me they smell awful, so it must be true that it al depends on your body chemistry.

Hey Laura... I read your posting and I'm so sorry you didn't like Angel. I know that people either really love it or hate it. When I first tried it a long time ago, I really liked it. I bought it and then to my disappointment... I didn't like it so much. I gave me a headache and I had to actually pick days to wear it when it smelled better to me. I had just given birth to my daughter so I thought maybe my hormones were still alittle off (I had a problem with some other fragrances when I was pregnant). So, a few years later I got a sample and tried it again... this time I loved it and I still love it... I've received compliments from many people... men and women alike... and these people are kind, courteous and many of them are professionals and not tacky people at all. Men seem to like it most. I think the secret to this fragrance is to NOT overdo the application. The bottle needs to be held about 12 to 16 inches away from your body and only one or two sprays. Also... your body chemistry may not react well with the intricate/stronger notes in Angel (especially the patchouli)... that's probably why you don't like it. What other fragrances do you like? Hope you had a good holiday Laura. Bye for now!

Ive smelled this on some co workers and boy is it way to strong. I thought maybe Ill smell it and see how it smells on me, but to my surprise just by smelling it on paper gave me a headache right away. This is one of those very extremely strong smelling perfumes. Not for me.

Like may people, I really wanted to like this fragrance when I purchased it. After hearing so many rave reviews and hype about Angel I decided to try it and it has to be (in my opinion) the worst, most offensive smelling fragrance ever! I don't know how I let myself get sucked into the hype of Angel. I don't like to generalize (especially since I'm guilty of having once tried it), but this scent seems to attract very tacky individuals. Any woman who becomes a fan of this obviously has questionable taste. I hate to be rude about those who do enjoy it, but seriously, it is too offensive to other people to wear this scent in public.

Hello again Helen and Diana! It is Christmas day and I wanted to finish up my message to you from last night... Again, now that I have my internet connection back, I'll be checking on messages from the two of you. I hope today is a magical and blessed day for you both and your families. What other frags do I like you asked? Over the years, I've tried so many but I'm having trouble keeping up with all the new fragrances. My favorites have been very similar to yours... I have tried the Patchouli frag from Moulinard and I like that very much. I did get the one that smells like Angel and you're right... a little fruitier and I like Angel better. I got Prada which is Patchouli and Amber... I tired of it and gave it to my Mom though. Guess Gold is nice. I like the Garden of Angel stars too. My favorite is La Rose... so pretty and a little more floral than original Angel but with still the same notes! Let's see, I got Kenzo L'Elephant once. Very different and unique... I was told I smelled good enough to eat! I think the Angel smells that good. Recently, I've tested Juicy Coutoure... I'm still undecided on that one. I've worn Alien by T. Mugler and Angel Innocent. I didn't really like the Innocent. I lean toward any scent that has richer and creamier notes and I love the patchouli... Angel is so amazing because it has the chocolate and caramel/vanilla notes and it's so delicious... better than the best Spanikopita and greek pastries even!!! Anyway my fellow (Greek Goddesses "GG's") I eagerly await your responses... Tell what else you think I should try and tell more about yourselves, OK? Once again, Yiasou and Kala Christoyena!!!

Hello Helen and Diana... my fellow Greek Goddesses! I'm sorry I've been away for so long. My computer crashed and I just regained my "on-line" capabilities... BTW Merry Christmas or should I say "Kala Kristoyena!!!" I'm in Ohio Helen and I am second generation American Greek... Both sets of Yayas and Papous are from Greece. I have cousins in Australia! I hope you get this soon. I will post again when I have more time... time to go to church! I'll post again a little later! Take care Helen and Diana!

This is one of Hillary's favorite perfumes. That is understandable since Hillary has no taste in clothes, hair, etc. I would want nothing that reminded me of her.

I love this stuff and I am always being asked what I'm wearing! Highly recomend! And by the way, none of the children in my family have had a bad reaction to it.

Every one has a unique body chemistry, so it follows that not every person enjoys Angel. However, with my body's chemistry, it's sensually exquisite! I wear it morning, noon, night...in every season. Men drool to the scent and women think it's lovely. The divine Angel is heavenly : )

I tried Angel again after many years and I had my daughter with me. Drydown was good and we kept sniffing. But my 8 year old told me she had a "migraine" when we left...she's only 8! When I got home my son told me, "not to offend you, Mom, but it smells like sour milk." So, even if I liked this, I would not wear it because it literally repulses some people.

This perfume is a favorite of mine but I have found that anyone who smells it either loves it and wants it or hates it and wants to vomit. No one ever thinks it is 'so so'.

I have this perfume and it is way to strong, it lingers for hours, I mean days, it is overpowering. To the point of almost sickening. I would never purchase this perfume it was a gift

I heard many people say how great this perfume is however when I tried this stuff on I had a headace for an hour...from one spray!

I have been blessed to experience some of the finest aromatics on the planet while I appreciate many Angel is my all time favorite. I never tire of its scent. I wear it as often as possible. I would purchase it by the gallon and scent all my personal domain, oops; Queendom! six stars.

What a great scent! I've received many, many complements. Love it, love it, LOVE IT!

I BOUGHT THIS PERFUME AFTER READING ALL THE GREAT COMMENTS AND ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT ITS SOME NASTY STUFF.. REMINDS ME OF COCO CHANEL IN A WAY. THIS FRAGRANCE WOULD GET NEGATIVE STARS IF THAT WAS POSSIBLE.

this stuff smells like a bucket of week old vomit. I spritzed it on in the store and ended up scrubbing it off frantically with a wet nap on the escalator. Five hours later I can still smell it, but the drydown isn't as bad as the initial blast...

I really don't like this fragrance. It has a note that lingers that I don't like. I can't put my finger on it.

My neice got me started using this several years ago. My favorite perfume and people are always complimenting me on the fragerance and wanting to know what is is

Yiasou Diana, wow, another greek! but we do have good taste dont we! ill have to get the body creme, since you vouch for it, also have you tried the shimmer lotion? sounds nice, here in Australia they have a complete range of products including shampoo and conditioner to bath products, im really starting to get crazy over Angel, every day and a different note, what other frags do you like? hope to hear from you soon, see ya, Helen.

I don't know what it is with Angel perfume... it seems people either love it or hate it. When I first smelled it out of the bottle I thought it smelled like mothballs. Then I tried it on, and I thought it smelled like mold and chocolate. That was about 5 days ago, and today I put on the sweater I was wearing that day, and Angel is still on it, and it smells SO GOOD! So when I got home tonight, I spritzed a tiny spritz on my wrist and it smells great. No mold or mothballs. Right now it smells leathery and woodsy, with a hint of fruit and honey. So I guess for me the trick is to just use a little bit. I can handle that... it'll make the super expensive bottle last that much longer.

Just recently got into fragrances so I'm trying out alot right now. Heard about Angel so gave it a try. Apparently, this is a fragrance people either love or hate, and I am in the latter category. Angel fragrance smells like mold or mildew or mothballs, and chocolate. It is just horrid! My stomach got queasy after having this stuff on for a couple hours. It's a shame though. I really like the star bottle.

Hi Cathy and Helen! I'm a Greek gal too who adores Angel!!! I bought this for the first time in 1997 and haven't stopped getting compliments since! It appears that the three of us have similar tastes -must be the Greek Goddess in all of us! tee hee. BTW the Angel body cream is divine and lasts a long time. Hope to read more from you soon. Take care. di

Hi again Cathy, sorry i forgot to ask if you have tried the Angel body line, i was thinking of getting a complete set but i wanna know if its worth it since its so expensive, also have you tried Nirmala by Molinard, its very similar to Angel but more fruitier, i prefer Angel, and also Byblos Cielo smells a lot like Angel as well, but i only tried that one on a card, not sure whats its like on the skin, waiting for you reply soon, Helen.

Yiasou Kathy! glad to see theres another greek on this site, are you from Greece or are you American Greek? i am an Aussie Greek, i also love love love Angel, and i also put perfume on my armpits (thought i was the only one to do that!) Angel is in my top ten but i have a lot of frags which i love from chypres to orientals and vanilla based ones, i also find Angel smells different on me each time i wear it, thats why i love it so much, its interesting how its gonna smell each time. What other frags do you like? i currently have so many i cant name all of them but my favs are, Angel, Addict, Lolita, Hypnotic Poison, Paloma Picassso, Samsara, Coco Mlle, All about Eve, La Perla, Kingdom D&G Light Blue, Dolce Vita, Indecence and lots more, hope to hear from you very soon, bye for now, Helen.

This by far has to be the most foul perfume i have ever smelt in my life, it smells so bad it actually made me vomit and i had to give the bottle away, congrats to anybody who can actually stomach wearing it!

Hey fellow "Greekgirl"... I've read your comments on several postings from other fragrances and it seems we like the same perfumes... must be our greek genes! Anyway... I've been wearing Angel for a very long time and I learn to appreciate it all over again each day that I use it... which is every day. I cannot imagine wearing anything else (even though I've tried others, I always come back to my Angel!)... it's seems like it smells a little different every day too. One day, I pick up more patchouli, the next day I pick up a little more caramel and chocolate. However it unfolds on me day to day, I am thoroughly and completely IN LOVE with Angel! I even spray a little under my armpits every day!!! I know that sounds strange and maybe a bit weird but it works and my perspiration smells like Angel... c'mon... we all sweat sometimes and what could be better then sweating "Angel"? Don't forget to get on the "Angel Network"! Bye for now!

I LOVE this scent...rich chocolatey vanilla in a completely edible womanly way...I am not responsible for the way my hips move or the way my mouth pouts while wearing this delectable sexy fragrance

i cant quite make out what it smells like. Its a good scent but i wouldnt give any compliments to someone wearing it. its a unique scent like sweet and its not!! fruity.

One thing I noticed about angel since I've been wearing it the past few weeks is that it really smells best when ou put it on right after your bath or shower...if you put it on later in the day or heaven forbid you go out dancing or anywhere where you may be perspiring a little, it does seem to get a little b.o. smelling...I don't know if anyone else has found this or maybe it's just me!! hope not!

I'm not at all impressed with this fragrance. I asked for a frangrance with pachouli and the gal at Nordstom's frangrance told me about Angel and how it was her favorite....maybe she was just selling me.For the price....Yuk. Cheap smell

This is a very beautiful scent. So distinct and unique. The first time I smelt it I was a little taken back and unsure but now it is my #1 favorite. A perfect scent for the Fall and Winter time. You will learn to love it!!

this is a popular albeit unique scent...it smells a bit weird but in a curious way...similar to the way shalimar develops on your skin...my girlfriend wore this to her wedding and I liked it on her...she hugged me and the scent stayed on MY clothes the rest of the day!

the angel imposter (stitchs) smells even better than the original, but you have to spray on quite a bit to get an effect, and even then does not last very long, pity its smells gorgeous.

Very interested to read all the comments about how "intoxicating" men find it. There's a woman I know (whom I can't stand because she's had a fling with my husband) who drenches herself in it. It reminds me of unclean restrooms: bodily fluids with a hint of toilet block and I've loved your "hate" comments - it sums her up so perfectly: unwashed "dirty" woman. I have a gag response every time I smell it on a woman walking by in the street and my husband seriously thinks I can't tell when he's seen her? He comes home smelling like latrines.

I did doubt that perfume, I have to admit, before even smelling it. Maybe the name, maybe the color of it? Made me think of it as of another girly, light, refreshing "angel" perfume. Then I went to the store with my friend and smelled it... Oh how wrong I was!!! This was a gorgeous, woody perfume! I couldn't believe - something I used to doubt so much smelled like my all the time favorite Lolita Lempicka! Fabulous, and gorgeous!

Both perfumes are wonderful, I have them both and they are my favorites. While both perfumes have a similar sweetness, and have that exotic punch I do think they are definately different. Euphoria has a more masculine scent as it wears off, which I think is awesome. Angel is still Angel, and every bit as beautiful. Both are worth every penny, men love them!

I love angel fragrance its one of the best fragrances that i have tried so far. very exotic and unique I love fruitty scents and this one is a winner. I just purchased Euphoria from Calvin klein and its devine almost the clone of angel. Does anyone agree w me!!!!!

A friend of mine wears this and I cannot stand to be near her when she has it on. It smells like wet dirt. That's the only way I can think to describe it. Yuck!

If you like Angel you might want to try Jungle L'Elephant by Kenzo. I just bought Angel, love it, and realized it's a lot like Elephant. Since nothing else I have is like Angel or Elephant, I thought an Angel fan might want to know about Elephant.

I just received a sample of this last week, and I have to say it’s a keeper. I tried it a few years ago and ruled it out as too strong - maybe a little on the sweet side. It no longer smells like that to me, perhaps that because all the tooty, juicy fruity scents that came since have made me smell what over the top sweet is. This is a very flirty, make you feel young perfume that needs to be worn RESPONSIBLY - Not heavy handed.

angel smells like heaven to me!! those who r not perfume lovers will feel nauseus or giddy, but i wont!! this was the perfume introduced by my ex bf, because of this perfume i fell in love with him.. isnt it sweet..

but, I love it. I always compliment the woman wearing it. If Hilary Clinton wears it, you know that it's not a meak little scent that hides behind a man. As for driving the men crazy, any scent would achieve that if the wearer allowed. The scent that comes close to smelling the way this does is, Vanille Givee des Antilles. It's a vanilla inspired line that is just breathtaking, (also very affordable). So wear in good health!!!

I been wearing Angel a long time and I love it. I rotate my perfumes and I do not wear the same perfume every day. I will never get sick of Angel.

I have learned that mixing Angel with a little bit a natural body secretions drives a man wild......even other women!!!!

This is the most disgusting perfume ever. I remember when this came out back in 92 and I was in SAKS dept. store in Chicago and they spritzed this on me and I ran literally from counter to counter looking for something to obliterate this from my person. It smells like a woman who hasn't bathed in weeks. Ewwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

I really wanted to like(love even) Angel as I am a huge fan of chocolate and vanilla and anything sugary sweet, but this perfume was waaaay over the top for me. I kind of reminds me of cream soda which had 100 cups of sugar and molasses added to it....really makes me feels sick to my stomach.

I bought Angel from the reviews. I wasnt sure about it, but purchased it anyway. I sprayed it on my wrist, and at first it was strong, but after awhile it softened to a most beautiful smell. Similar to Angel Innocent and Lolita Lempicka. The secret is not to put too much on. Great drydown. Love it.

It's just too powdery. It's horrible. I don't think it smells nice on anyone. I know instantly when someone's wearing it - I always get this urge hold my nose. It's in the leagues of Poison as one of the worst scents ever.

I think this fragrance is strong but nice, I like many different fragrances strong, sweet, you name it, it really smells different on everyone, some smell really nice and others dont, it really just is if it works for you (chemistry). I love it and I have already refilled my bottle. I think its great, for me. But like I said on everyone its different. I think everyone should try it and then judge. Some of you will love it others will hate it. I'm glad that I love it! Peace.

Someone below mentioned that men prefer floral or fresh scents...I don't think so. How many studies have to be done before women realize that is not true? I'm sure that there are men (and women) that love those perfumes(I do too), but the majority of "love" inducing perfumes are intoxicating. Either deep florals, woodsy, dark, or musky scents attract the most men. Florals are often too simple for men to enjoy. I'm sure this has it's place in there, along with the well known classics like opium or shalimar. The problem is that most women are too scared to try something new and daring with their perfume. I wonder if angel had never come along....would they still be wearing basic "safe" perfume?

Ok, this has been around since the early 1990's and it's not going to go away. It's the signature or "HG" scent for alot of women. It's unusual, or was for that matter, at the time of creation. Now everyone wears it and I agree for some it is overwhelming and strange. I felt it was strange at first smell, but now wear it from time to time. I don't want to wear it out by making it a constant scent to choose. Also I wish those who harshly judge it would learn how to spell. For the most part, all I get from it is patchouli, so I rarely use the true perfume. Instead I use an almost identical knockoff that's much softer, and the notes I love stand out more in my choice. I do think that women should look around for another alternative to their precious angel, and mix it up a bit!

Wow! Over 500 posts about this scent! Love it or hate it, it is a well known scent. I love it but like Coco Mlle I had to hang it up for a while until I stop smelling everywhere I go! I think that is why I love the older classics that not everyone is wearing. Too many women bathe themselves in this and it ruins it for everyone. I actually wish the topnotes of Angel would last a bit longer though. That opening is my favorite part of this fragrance. All in all this is one of the most unusual (or used to be) fragrances today and I'll love it for a long time.

My sister & I have been wearing this for YEARS. I get more compliments on this perfume (from men & women) than any other I've ever tried. Just a spritz will do...my sister douses herself in it. My one brother-in-law said her perfume made him sick, but said mine was wonderful... same Angel, just less of it.

Having read these boards, I noted that on the Euphoria board, people compared it to Angel. Now I think I tried Angel once in a department store and thought it was very odd. More recently, I bought Euphoria as I thought it was lovely. I now think that perhaps it's a stepping stone to Angel, because I have since tried it again and fallen in love with it. It was just too different from "normal" perfumes to begin with, but Euphoria warmed me up for it. I like very much to be different in my fashions and style, and Angel seems to go hand in hand with this. It seems more powdery and heady that Euphoria, like the big girls version of it. There are those that don't seem to like these gourmet perfumes, preferring the more flowery scents. Each to his own, but I think this is the way that perfumes are going and I am happy to embrace this. You don't have to move forward, but just as you tend to move on with fashion, hair and makeup, so too I think it's good to move on with perfumery. Good for Thiery Muggler.

I sprayed Angel for the first time about 3 hours ago and I'm in Heaven! The smell is so soft and unique. Mostly, I smell the honey and sandalwood. It's warm and just right for autumn or winter. I love it!

I originally bought this because it was "different", meaning not like the other flowery & fruity trendy smells out there now. I got a huge amount of compliments, but not sure now if I would wear it again, too expensive, kind of sweet. Like the patchouli in this, not crazy about smelling like chocolate. Love the bottle. Overall, glad I experienced it, but I think I'm over it!

This is the best smell I have encountered. I wear this myself. I dont overapply since its a strong perfume that might be too intense if you apply too much. A little of it makes my day, everyday...

My lover insists I wear it for him. As a matter of fact, he buys it for me. He says he loves it! He himself wears Angel Amen.

This has to be the worst scent i have ever smelt, i had a bottle about 7 years ago and at the time had a really bad cold so thought it was lovely, cold cleared up and i then got the trus smell, VULGAR, actually made me vomit, gave bottle away, boyfriend has aftershave and he has never worn it because the smell makes me sick! Avoid at all costs if you know whats good for you

i hate it. too strong, too heady, too pathouli, too much! men who like women that wear this, just have bad taste! a woman shouldn't smell like rotten fruit, or like a cheap prostitute. this is what this smell inspires to me. i give it -5 stars.

i happen to go through a whole lot of posts on angel yesterday as frankly the sheer number of people who have sent in their reviews never fail to amaze me...... !! its always fun to read when people are commenting on something as personal as perfume coz what turns u on is a revelation to what kind of personalities exist.sometimes most aggressive seeming women go for the softer kind of frgrances and then some sweet gentle seeming girlish woman would go for real sexy stuff !!! its the choice of perfume which reveals to u what the person is likely to be when she reveals her private inner self which usually either a mate or parent or very close friends are the only ones who know. as regards to angel...... i read soooooo many posts calling it headache inducing and all kinds of bad stuff that i decided to experiment for myself before sending this post. i like angel a lot but so far had only used it in the evenings on occassions. yesterday i sprayed some first thing after my morning bath and went through the entire day with it.the verdict is.......not only was it very bearable (no headache !!) but it stayed so close to me that i actually regretted my bath later which would take away the lovely and very special fragrance it had become in the course of the day !! and by the way i happen to live in india where the summers are killing (very hot !!)! JUST 1 SPRAY OF THIS WONDERFUL PERFUME BETWEEN THE BREASTS OR WHERE EVER COMFORTABLE IS ALL YOU NEED !! sprayed with restraint i find this 1 of the most beautiful and complex perfumes ever in the recent times.i received this as a gift about 3 years ago and used it now and then in the evenings as an occassion perfume.But thanks to my experiment........ i am tempted to make it my signature fragrance !

I just luv luv luv this! one of the most sexiest perfumes out there trust me! MEN LOVE THIS! go easy on it though as it can be strong.

wow !!!!! thats quite a number of reviews up ahead of me !!! anyways...... common or not but i do like angel as one of my preferred fragrances. i like to use it on certain evenings...... this is not a fragrance you can handle at any given time.in the summer heat it can probably kill me first and then the others around me!!!! but..... on certain cooler evenings or a quiet date where you want to linger on a person's mind......this one used with a light hand can do the trick !!!!!!

Hello~I smelled this on a friend, and had to ask what she was wearing because it smelled so nice. Right away I knew this would be my favorite perfume, and it is! There isn't a time that I don't get a compliment when I wear this perfume. Like every perfume out there, it may not be for everyone, and I do believe that our body chemistry has much to do with the way certain perfumes may smell on us.

I've tried this perfume several times hoping to like it, but I just can't stand it. There's a horrible medicinal-chemical-acrid sort of smell to this. It completely overpowers the chocolate and other nicer notes. It's the first scent to actually leave a bad taste in my mouth, somehow. Too bad! Maybe I'd like Angel Innocent better, I don't know.

Well, after reading all of the comments concerning "Angel" - all I can say is perfumes interact with a person's body chemistry. If you don't like a certain scent - then don't wear it! But don't dog the ones who do love it (I do) because we may just not like the scent YOU are currently wearing!

I probably am in the minority on this, but I detest Alien, On me, it smells of some thing so chemically floral, kind of like a public restroom air freshner unit. I hate to be so blunt, but it's awful! And I have over 100 fragrances, so it's not like I don't like a wide variety of scents! I just don't like this creation. Perhaps it is just too alien for my liking. Very cloying - gave me a royal headache and a half! Yuck.

The new Angel garden line (I forget the exact name) with topnotes of lily, violet or peony will make Angel lovers swoon -- and may even make converts out of some of you sitting on the fence. (Me? I absolutely loved the original Angel back when it was new, but one bottle was enough. . .Although I still like catching the scent on other women.) I love the peony version especially. It's SO nice!!!Imagine all the things you love about Angel -- the sweetness, the chocolate caramel edibility, the earthy, sexy patchouli-ness -- and then subtract the things that are starting to tire you -- the heaviness, the overtness, the been-there-done-that identifiableness. Add a whoosh of fresh, flirty peony, lighten the whole thing up a notch but keep it sweet, and bingo: there's the answer you may have been waiting for! Lots of luck, everyone; I love all the controversy on this board (although, frankly, reading some of the posters personally attacking others for their perfectly legitimate opinions I DO find very, very sad, disturbing and entirely unconscionable. xxoo

Dearest Chick, I'm one of those fanatic, although admittedly dilettante-ish, perfume nuts who actually makes herself little charts about what ingredients are in which of my fragrances. It's a private compulsion of mine, but now it's got a purpose!!!! I just skimmed down the patchouli column, glanced at the floral columns, and lo and behold, according to my calculations, you might just go INSANE for l'Occitane's D'Iparie!! It's got zip in the way of flowers except for a low-key note of rose, it's got moss and vanilla, red pepper and myrrh, labdanum (a kind of vanilla-spicy resin), "incense" notes, not a whiff of bergamot, and best of all, heaps of patchouli. Right down your alley, wouldn't you say? The girls at the l'Occitane store here in Vancouver all love it, and I think you might, too. (Gosh, I've even got some myself!) Other rich scents -- although they don't have patchouli -- that aren't floral-forward would include Trouble, Omnia, l'Instant, Cinema. . .all quite different from each other, but all leaning in the same, Chickey26-like direction. . .Do let me know how you make out!!!

Angel Is One Of Those Scents That Has A Different Smell On Each Individual Who Wears It...For Me It's Amazing...It's Been My Signature For About 5 Years Now...On Some People It Is Just Not Right, It Has To Do With The Individuals Chemistry. So You Can Say It Repulsed You When You Tried It On In The Store, But To Be Fair, It Obviosuly Just Did Not Mix With Your Chemistry. I myself Am In love With This Perfume And Will Continue To Wear It, I Have Never Had A Complaint, Only Compliments, I Guess I Got Lucky...Always Test First...
