I have been looking for a new fragrance. I have gotten rid of many of
mine as I am tired of them and have not found a recent signature scent.
I like floral or fruity scents in the summer and have worn the Escada
summer sprays almost every year.
But I am looking for a winter scent, one that has staying power. I
have Amazing Grace but find it does not last at all. I am tired of
buying expensive "white" scents only to find they do not last.
So....I was at Water Tower Place and smelled Angel. I sprayed it on a
paper tester and it smelled good to me. I did not spray it on as I
already had a fragrance on. I decided to google the fragrance before I
plunked down a bunch of money and to my surprise I find it is one of
the most hated fragrances in America!!!! It seems though as some might
love it. More about me: fragrance does not seem to stay much on me and
most perfumes unless they are quite potent seem to disapate in an hour
or so.
So I am looking for advice: What does everyone think of Angel? Good
or bad? I decided before buying I will go to Nordstrom's and spray
myself with it to try it first but I would like a few opinions. Some
perfumes I like:
Grace
Aqua di Geo

Lolita Lempicka

I love Angel and it was my signature scent for a long time, but when
everyone (well, mother–in–law and sister–in–law) around me started wearing
it I went off it... I tried Angel Innocent too and liked it, but it wasn't
Angel.
I'd say go for it, just hope you avoid the signature–thieves!!

Bumblebee, you mentioned Michael by Michael Kors as one you might want
to try. That's one of my cool weather favorites...the vanilla/spicy
halo around the gardenia and tuberose works well. In fact, if you're
worried about potency, you might prefer regular strength. I prefer the
Sheer version; I also sometimes just go with the Michael Barefoot Body
Cream, which isn't as expensive as some of the other body products, but
leaves a hint of scent.............Laurie B.

I tried Angel and had to find a ladies room FAST or be sick. Even
scrubbing my wrist that day didn't remove its scent entirely. I'd
sooner be trapped in an elevator with a Tabu or Giorgio lover than get
anywhere near Angel.

Definitely try it on your skin, because what comes out of the bottle
isn't what it will smell like in an hour, or six hours. (There's quite a
lot of patchouli in the base.) If you do buy it, please please please
wear it with discretion: it's very strong (even if scents don't last

a sample of it for when I'm in the mood to wear it. OTOH I can't stand
Angel on me or anyone else. I also think not only does LL's licorice
note take some of the sweet edge off of it, it's also less intensely
concentrated, but to me that's a good thing. IMO Angel is too much
unless it's applied with the lightest of hands. I also have a tough
time finding scents with staying power and am intrigued by some of the
notes in Angel but it's still wayyy too strong for me and too sweet.

The necklace is very novel. I will look into it. Oddly I have used a
whole bottle of Lolita Lempicka but have never noticed a licorice note
to it. I like licorice. It is a very unique scent.
With regard to Angel, I just will have to test it. I don't have
concerns about smelling it on everyone because I have not smelled it
much. And I don't know anyone else who is wearing it. I have heard
that it smelled differently on people. Hopefully it will smell good on
me. The new bottle, the tall one is over 100 dollars!!!! very pricey.

Personally, I have never been a fan of Angel. And there was a time when it
seemed like everybody was wearing way too much of it. This has now subsided,
as far as I can tell.
For my day–to–day cologne this winter I am wearing Baiser du Dragon by
Cartier. I was told by the SA that it's in the same fragrance family as
Angel, but to me it has a cleaner scent and is not so sickeningly sweet. I
don't think Dragon is going to make my top 10 list of all time favorites,
but it's fun for now.
Once you zero in on what you want, you may want to check eBay for better
prices.

mine as I am tired of them and have not found a recent signature scent.
I like floral or fruity scents in the summer and have worn the Escada
summer sprays almost every year.
But I am looking for a winter scent, one that has staying power. I
have Amazing Grace but find it does not last at all. I am tired of
buying expensive "white" scents only to find they do not last.
So....I was at Water Tower Place and smelled Angel. I sprayed it on a
paper tester and it smelled good to me. I did not spray it on as I
already had a fragrance on. I decided to google the fragrance before I
plunked down a bunch of money and to my surprise I find it is one of
the most hated fragrances in America!!!! It seems though as some might
love it. More about me: fragrance does not seem to stay much on me and
most perfumes unless they are quite potent seem to disapate in an hour
or so.
So I am looking for advice: What does everyone think of Angel? Good
or bad? I decided before buying I will go to Nordstrom's and spray
myself with it to try it first but I would like a few opinions. Some
perfumes I like:

angel is my least favorite smelling perfume. something about it is too
sickeningly sweet.

I had never tried this, or I think I smelled it in the bottle originally and
hated it, but after reading this thread I had to give it a try. I sprayed it
on myself at Bloomie's last night, and at first it smelled like candied prunes.
However, I was very sparing and it was VERY cold and windy out, and about a
half an hour later it started smelling good to me. I then received two
unsolicited compliments on it later that night from very picky people. Now I'm
thinking about trying to pick up a mini or a bottle from TJ Maxx, though it
seems this would work only in the coldest weather.

Yes, I think you've summed it up very well – a great cold–weather/winter
fragrance, but I wouldn't wear this in summer.
