Angel Eau de Toilette

I have had a love affair with the OG for decades. Angel didn't just show up in the perfume world, she invented Gourmand. She's iconic, she changed the game. She's the original diva, the blueprint, the Godzilla of Chocolate-Patchouli. She doesn't do "light", she doesn't do "maybe", she doesn't do "subtle". She does "I will cling to your coat for three winters and haunt your ex". She's not universally loved but is universally noticed and unapologetically yours. She's loyal to the point of being unhinged and she's reserved for those of us who are not afraid of perfumes that have a personality disorder. I'm absolutely convinced that she would survive an apocalypse. She's the perfume equivalent of a friend who would turn up with a shovel, help you bury a body and then ask if you want to go to brunch. She commits harder than any perfume in existence. She's the ultimate ride-or-die.

Angel EDT smells nothing like the original Angel EDP or Angel Muse EDP, which isn't necessarily a bad thing -- just trying to set your expectations. Maybe if you tried really hard to find similarities in their DNA, you could. But Angel EDT stands alone as a distinctly fruity perfume. I smell the apple, red berries, hint of praline, and patchouli. It's a strong perfume, some may find it cloying, and performance is solid. I like Angel EDT for certain occasions, not for everyday. I've had it for a few years, but I'm doing this review now because I find that spring is a good season for this fragrance -- it's just starting to warm up, so a fruity fragrance seems appropriate, but it's not too hot yet.

Omg! This is what I always wished Angel was.. part of me does love the original, but I just cannot for the life of me deal with that insane dirty patchouli opening (even though I LOVE the payoff once it dries down) and this toilette version is reminiscent of that but if it was already halfway into the dry down of the OG if that makes sense? Just a bit fruitier, lighter, fresher, and the patchouli isn't so nasty lol.. think of it as the angel for spring.. what I imagine the apple from the garden of Eden to smell like.. delicious and alluring, but also illicit.. and that apple note makes a worlds difference oh my god it’s the perfect mix of sweet/sour juicy goodness! I think I’m obsessed

Most long lasting edt ever (12 hours on me). Very woody and sexy in a versatile way. This is perfect for a signature scent or layer under something else. It leans more cold weather because it's so strong but it's great for anytime except maybe summer. It's best when worn alone or with a fruity fragrance layered on top in the evening. When you're out all day it will last on skin and clothes. I like this way better than the OG edp and I'm not a hater of the edp. I just like this one more the original because it had a super heavy musky sweetness I don't like. This one is better and lasts the same but not as overwhelmingly strong. Everyone compliments me and notices me when I wear this.

This is one of my absolute favorite perfumes. One of my best friends growing up always wore the original EDP, and she smelled amazing, but when I tried the EDP for myself, I didn't like it as much. It felt a little too strong and overwhelming. I came across the EDT version and fell in love. It is very similar to the EDP, but definitely toned down and it seems a little more fresh and light to me. This is one that could be worn year round. This perfume lasts a long time on my skin too! My husband loves it. The smell is so unique it's like sweet and warm, but fresh and fruity at the same time. Absolutely amazing and this is one I will keep stocked in my collection!
