This reformulated Angel Eau de Parfum Rechargeable Edition from 2015 delivers the iconic gourmand essence of the original classic, with a smoother, more refined character. While the core profile of patchouli, vanilla, and sweet fruit notes remains intact, some users report subtle shifts—less aggressive patchouli and a less pronounced syrupy sweetness—leading to debate over whether the formula is truly unchanged. The scent opens with an intense dark patchouli and resinous amber, quick to settle into a warm, honeyed, and slightly musky dry-down that lingers delicately. The perfume is highly sillage-heavy, with strong projection that can be striking in close spaces, yet many find it surprisingly subtle on themselves once the initial blast fades. It's best worn at night, where its sensuous depth aligns perfectly with its opulent character, and excels in colder seasons. The refillable design and sculptural bottle add tangible luxury and artistic presentation, making it ideal for devoted fans of the brand who appreciate both form and function.
