Angel Eau De Parfum

Now I know what doors this fragrance has unlocked in the industry, and how revolutionary it was for perfumery as a whole, the fist TRUE gourmand that broke the rules of the game at the time. But I have unfortunately never gotten my hands on the old og formulation, but as of now, the way this fragrance smells as of 2026, is DEADLY. Literal mold covered with sugar, I’m not exaggerating, to my nose the patchouli is absolutely rancid, damp, wet, moldy, earthworm-y, mushroomy and then covered with tons of cotton candy. But instead of covering it up it completely clashes with it, butter and earthy with lots of sweetness, one side pulls and the other pulls harder, so you’re left wondering where this is going and it creates this toxic gas situation that fills rooms in an instant, and the coughing frenzy begins. It’s like the patchouli is 70% of the formula, I know it has no Oakmoss in the official ingredients but dry down reminds me of Nishane Hacivat. I have given this fragrance way too many chances but I officially give up, I give up on cotton candy mold but if you enjoy it or had the luck to try out the original formulation, I’m happy for you and good for you, but unfortunately this fragrance is my mortal enemy

Honestly, I wasn't sure I liked this because it has an almost "old sugar" smell that reminds me of a gigantic candy cane stick I found while snooping around my grandma's cupboards as children do. Being the fearless kid I was, I snuck off to try to eat that candy cane. You never forget the smell and tastes of sugar past its prime, or burnt. My perfume was very young when I got it and it's been macerating for over a year now. OMFG aging perfume is absolutely necessary. It makes ALL the difference between decent and phenomenal. It is day #3 and the 5 sprays I put on my hoodie is still slightly overwhelming. Be conservative with this one, it's a beast! It is sweet, woody/earthy, velvety soft, hint of nuttiness, candy notes, gol'dang! 9.5/10 Phenomenal performance and formula.

The nature of Angel is truly one of a kind—instantly recognizable. Its sweetness feels slightly heavy, almost suffused, not from excess but from the addition of a dense, praline-like, alluring note. I would say this element helped define its cult, provocative character years ago. For me, that is also part of its charm. The fragrance evolves only subtly: if it softens, it does so gently, remaining largely linear to its opening, with projection gradually fading. It endures as a skin scent for a long time and lingers on fabric just as persistently. Beautiful, feminine, and full of character. A fragrance that will forever hold a place in my heart, a beautiful example of perfumery at its highest and most refined level.
