Instant migraine for me. I love idea of a chocolate/burnt sugar scent, but it just doesn't work with my chemistry. On me it smells like an ice cream sundae melting in the hot sun infused with the sweat of a thousand frat boys.
I have it and have to say...it's a very stong fragrance. I suggest trying it at the mall and walk around for a while to see if you like it before you buy. I love the smell but I feel that I have to put it on very lightly. It has given me a headache in the past.
I also have Angel Violet and Angel Lilly. I did not purchase these, they were a gift. Nice but again, they are so strong.
it is very strong, long lasting, too. i like it but perfumes do smell different on other people and different people have different taste in scents, etc.
Angel is awesome, but not for everyone. It also has insane lasting power.
I like it in creme or lotion form, or very sparing dabbed on, not sprayed.
If you love Angel, then you're in luck because it is so powerful you need just a little. And Angel comes in refillable packaging - save on $$ and waste.
I really luv Angel, it's smell vanilla & a bit chocolatey, it's elegance and everybody will know that you wear an expensive perfume, perfect for night wear
Don't like it. I don't like the bottlem and I don't like the scent. I'm not sure why, I think it gives me too many associations to the 90's for some reason.
Angel is a perfume that you should dribble - not spray on. It's a beautiful BUT very strong scent that if over worn will make people hate it forever.
I have a tiny 10ml star and I put a couple of drops on each wrist. That's enough to give me whiffs of it all day, but to not leave an "Angel cloud" for everyone else.
Angel is so weird to me, because several times now I have smelled a fragrance on someone and said "What are you wearing? I love it!" and it's been Angel, and yet every time I try it I don't like it. So weird.
i've been using this perfume for 10 years, and i'm only 22. it's my absolute favourite!
it is VERY strong, and i only need a drop on my wrists and a skoosh on my neck and it lasts all day.
i also collect angel stuff - i've got dozens of different bottles, pure perfumes, soaps, candles, jewellery etc. my favourite is the 'Part Des Anges' swarovski pure perfume i got for my 21st from my parents

It's skin chemistry.
Every time I wear something, it gets really sweet smelling. My grandma on the other hand, wears perfume and swears everything smells like piss and vinegar.
i love this scent. i wore it from whenever it was first released, until a couple of years ago. right now i'm not using it, but i'll probably refill my bottle once i'm working again!
i also like the idea that the bottles are refillable, i.e. less waste.

I have never heard ANYONE say it was 'just okay'...its either "wow!" or "ugh!!"
Its distinctive for sure.
There is NO middle ground when it comes to ANGEL. You either love love love it or you hate hate hate it.
