I tried this fragrance a long time ago and detested it and switched to Angel Innocent. When I saw all the hype about this on the board, I decided to go back and try it again. After it settles down for about an hour, it smells sweet, yet not too cloying. Definitely a good winter fragrance. I have yet to test it on the men, but hopefully I'll get good reactions. :) Also love Angel Innocent.

I am completely obsessed with trying new perfumes, but I usually get bored with it and move on. Angel perfume is just amazing, I'm on my third bottle. A little goes a long way, and I never fail to get tons of compliments. I can't wait to start wearing it again now that fall is coming.

OK, I held off long enough and when I fell in love with L'Occitane's Candied Fruits candle, I had to make myself smell just like that. Amazingly, Angel smells almost exactly like the candle and that's what I had to get.

This is amazingly expensive for a dept. store fragrance. Is it only an EDP concentration? Or maybe the packaging is what claims a lot of the costs, but really, there's nothing mind boggling about the star bottle that has to lay on its side on top of your dresser/counter/cabinet. Or, it could be the ingredients - I don't know, I'm no fragrance connoiusseur so I wouldn't have the foggiest about the cost of patchouli, caramel, chocolate, or vanilla extracts - I know I can get these for cheap in the grocery store. At any rate, I love this fragrance because it packs such a whalop of spicy-ness and woodsy-ness that I am now just beginning to enjoy in fragrances. This is no wimpy Perry Ellis 360° light and fresh fragrance, this is a walk-through-a-smokey-souk-spice-market-Turkish-coffee-with-cardamom-and-a-thick-layer-of-coffee-grinds-at-the-bottom-of-the-cup-laying-around-in-a-harem strong, and I completely love that in this fragrance. Nevermind wearing lightly - phooey to that! No scrimping here, I love to douse myself and inhale the smoky, ambery, sweet muskiness of this spice-market scent. If you can't stand this scent, you better distance yourself from me!

I've owned and adored Angel since it first came out. Don't wear it too often these days, but always keep a bottle on hand for whenevr the mood strikes! Lovely packaging and definitely a unique scent, so aptly described by the other reviewers, that revolutionized the fragrance market back in the early '90s.

Uh oh, this is a MAJOR boy-magnet perfume! What's in this that makes all the guys like it? I sprayed it on my wrist and my guy friend was like "I can't get enough of that smell! must get it for my girlfriend!" LOL!

I have loved this fragrance devoutly and worn it almost exclusively for two years. I went the thrify route and bought the big sample bottle on the Internet. Otherwise, I would have ended up spending $200+ for a generous size. I spray this in my hair and on my clothes as well as my skin. I don't use the lotions or other layering products, because I find that this EDP lasts and makes an impact on its own. I love this fragrance the most after about an hour. At first it has this bite to it, and it lacks the soft sweetness that eventually develops. I like vanillas and edibles very much. So the chocolate and vanilla in here with the intense kick of patchouli is right up my alley. It is classified as a romantic fragrance. I have broken all the rules over the past two years and worn it everywhere. It's true that people stop you and ask what you are wearing when you have this on. It has happened to me more with this fragrance than any other. I guess I'm just ready for something new. Although, I think I will always have a bottle of this around. I won't buy the flat star bottle, though. I don't like the packaging. I like the big stand-up spray I have (the tester), as it's easy, plentiful and economical. But I am not a person who cares too much about the beauty of bottles. Angel is the most complex and intense fragrance I've ever owned. EDIT 2005: Guess what? I outgrew this. I can't wear it anymore. A lady I work with comes blowing down the hallway at least once a week with this streaming behind her, and I get a bit sick. Maybe I can go back to it someday!

I have gotten more compliments from men from this perfume than any other!It has so tremendous sex appeal, no wonder the compliments never ever stop!You should spray this on your clothes if you don't like the way it mixes with your skin, and wait for the men to start flocking around!

OK, I was curious. I wanted to see what all the hype was about, so I tried Angel. The saleswoman raved about it. She spritzed me with a little and I was just about knocked unconscious by this in your face scent. To put it simply Angel smells like really pungent BO mixed with patchouli. I'd NEVER buy this stuff.

I think Angel is freaky stuff. I really don't know what to think of the way it smells. It smelled like wet leaves the very first time I wore it. Soooo I thought, oh well....I just won't buy it any more of this perfume. THEN I wore it when I went out with a few friends and you wouldn't believe the male attention I got! So I love Angel now! I think it changes it's scent throughout the day. I even kinda of like the "wet leaves" smell that the patcholi gives off. I would definately buy this again.:)

ACK!!! I got a sample of this and absolutely hated it! It was one of the stinkiest perfumes I've ever tried! I know others love it, but I hated it.

yuck. This fragrance gives me a headache and makes me want to wash it off when I wear it. The scent is extremely distinct, I"ll give it that, but a little too distinct. The packaging is very pretty though, but the price is ridiculous for this one.

This is a very sexy and sultry fragrance. It has to work w/ your body chemisty though. I like this and Angel Innocent! Good Job TM!

Well if you haven't smelled angel, you've probably been living under a rock somewhere; but after some scathing fragrance reviews on my part, I felt the need to say something positive. This is the most fabulous fragrance ever and I have been wearing it since the mid 90's. My body chemistry loves this stuff. It is the only perfume that I have ever worn that has made strangers stop me in the street to ask about it. Unfortunately, Angel has become overexposed. I will still ALWAYS have this and wear it, but I am searching for my NEXT Angel. Angel will always be my first love, but I have the seven year itch :). The search continues.

This has become my all-time favorite scent. I stop by the counter and spray it on every time I pass by even though I have a stockpile at home. You have to be a little crafty to get them to hand you a sample though.

I've never received as many compliments as when I wear this fragrance. I've had people stop me and write down the name of the perfume and the store where I bought it and usually no one comments on my perfumes. However, I can't stand the initial spraying. That part is way too strong for me. It's the long, long beautiful drydown I love. So when I'm going out I make sure to spray it on at least a full hour or two before leaving the house. That gives it plenty of time to mellow the way I like it. Also, I've find that in this case, I like a lot of the imitations of this fragrance, while normally I hate imitations. Maybe because it seems they go easier on the patchouli on the fake versions.

I really was curious about this... have to say I didn't like it. I truely believe it's one of those rare fragrances one either loves or hates. I've never smelled another fragrance like it... it's very strong, and even after 3 hours I couldn't seem to wash it off. Not my style. Now... Angel Innocent is another thing...
