What wearers say
“Wow I am in awe over this one! Angel is my all time favorite perfume and this is the best dupe I have smelled. This does not have great sillage and doesn’t last that long but for the price (I got it for less than $9) it is totally worth it. I like to layer this with Angel and feel like I can re-apply this to my hearts content since it is dirt cheap. Beautiful and sturdy bottle and overall a very solid dupe. If you love Angel, I promise you will love this!”
“It is a fresher, less balanced version of the OG Angel by Mugler. More "screechy" some would say, but to me this zest (reminescent of a fresh gooseberry) is quite enjoyable, especially for the warmer months. The drydown is less focused on patchouli compared to Angel. It doesn't take a wet, earthy turn, but stays true to gourmand. Tonka bean and vanilla get more prominent, overall giving off a cappuccino foam impression. All in all, for this price it is an enjoyable fragrance, it shares similarities with Angel but it is not a 100% dupe. Can recommend.”
“Despite the affordable price I decided to sample this before buying. And oh yeah...It is a dupe for Angel. Smells just like Angel and reminded me of how much I dislike Angel and also this one. But those who love Angel, why buy Angel when this one is spot on dupe? Unless youre made of money of course.”
