Angel Eau de Toilette (2019) offers a lighter, more accessible interpretation of the original Angel fragrance, designed to appeal to a broader audience. It opens with a crisp, tart blend of mandarin orange and peony, quickly giving way to a juicy, sweet core featuring green apple, red berries, and a soft praline note. The patchouli is present but subdued and cleaner than in the original, contributing subtle earthy texture without the overwhelming intensity. The dry down reveals warm, creamy tones from the praline and white woods, creating a gourmand-scented veil that feels both modern and familiar. It performs exceptionally well—projecting strongly and lasting far beyond typical EDTs, with moderate sillage and noteworthy longevity, especially on cooler days. While celebrated for its wearable sweetness and fresh floral-fruitiness, some users find it lacking in depth or originality compared to the iconic EDP, describing it as a more commercial, softer version that leans into mainstream gourmand appeal, particularly resonating during autumn and winter. The standing star bottle stands upright, offering a distinctive aesthetic.
