Angel Schlesser Oriental Edition II

I already reviewed oriental edotion II but now that I finally purchased it and used it a couple of times,I couldn't help myself write another review I see this as my little secret tressure and I'm really proud of myself for discovering it.I bought a 50mil bottle of it in a clearance for just 25$!!unbelivable price for such a quality.the funny point is that I'm sure if this was five times more pricey and had the name of a niche brand on it,would recieve plenty of raving reviews In my first review I said that I thought there's oud in it and I saw it as an arabic oriental scent,which by the way I usually dislike(lancome oud bouquet and estee lauder wood mystique are among my few exceptions) It still opens as an oudy-rosy arabic scent but a delicious one,it's opening has a lit in common with my beloved lancome oud bouquet, but after some minutes I can see there's no oud here and I can't see it as an arabic scent anymore.now I'm smelling a turkish delight! Rose,patchouli,praline,vanilla and saffron are easily noticable here and their combination creats a delightful oriental gourmand.as it dries down this spicy,chocolatey rose patchouli combo is grounded my amber,subtle woody notes and a hint of musk;so it looses a big part of it's gourmand character and turns to a softly powderded musky,ambery rose with enough smokey woody facets to give it a darkish,seductive and mysterious vibe and balance it's delightful sweetness Each stage of this scent,is so complex,gorgeous and well crafted that I think with myself that it can't be better than this,yet another phase arrives which is strangely even better than the previous one.I'm hooked! It's not a vampy,too much dark rose,patchouli combo.it's dark but not serious and angry.it's naughty,sexy,attractive.definitely oriental,definitely modern at the same time and I looove it Longevity is superb.+10 hours on skin,ages on clothes.sillage is huge at first.it's not a safe,inoffensive babe.no one can pass it without comment.each time I was asked my perfume's name by a stranger and I was happy to tell them it's a cheapie It's great for women as it's great for men in case you like a sweet,yummy oriental rose Highly recommended ❤❤❤❤❤ این عطر رو باتمام وجودم توصیه می کنم به خانم ها و آقایونی که یه عطر شیرین و خوشمزه شرقی رزی براشون جذابه هنوز ک هنوزه باورم نمیشه همچین شاهکاری رو انقدر ارزون خریدم.مطمئنم اگه فیمتش پنج برابر این بود و ایم یه خونه عطر نیش رو،روی خودش داشت کلی محبوب و معروف بود تو لحظه اسپری شدن کمی عود حس کردم و تلفیق رز و شکلات و عود منو یاد لانکوم عود بوکت انداخت که تنها عطر عودی محبوبم هست.اما تو ادامه متوجه شدم خبری از عود نیست رز،پچولی،پرالین،زعفران،وانیل نت هایی هستن ک براحتی قابل تشخیصن و عطری رو بوجود آوردن که ضمن شرقی بودن کاملا مدرنه.برعکس لحظه اول ک حس میکردم با یه عژر عربی طرفم الان حس میکنم این عطر ایرانیه.فقط یه ایرانی میتونه انقد تلفیق چیزای خوب باشه.با رسیدن به درای داون،,عطر بخش زیادی از شخصیت گورمند خودشو از دست میده،شیرینیش ملتیم میشه و پرالین و زعفران و وانیل نسبتا کمرنگتر..رز شیرین ک حالت پودری ملابمی پیدا کرده توسط کمی مسک و امبر احاطه میشه درحالیکه به میزان کافی نت های چوبی(ک کمی دودی هستن)وجود دارن ک شخصیتی مرموز و تیره به رز بدن تو هر مرحله از رایحه اورینتال ادیشن دو ،با خودم میگفتم ک ابن دیگه اوج زیبایی و جذابیت و پیچیدگی هست.امکان نداره از این بهتر بشه اما در اوج حیرت و شگفتی میدم ک مرحله بعد از قبلی هم زیباتره.من این عطر رو نگرفتم چون ارزونه یا چون پخش و موندگاری معرکه داره(هرچند ایناهم جزو خصوصیات مثبتش هستن)گرفتمش چون انقدر جذابه ک میتونه جادو کنه و درعین حال میتونه با کلی بازخورد مثبت همراه باشه اگه دنبال یه تلفیق رز،پچولی جدی و عصبی و اسپایسی هستید ،نباشید.اینجا یه تلفیق خوشمزه و باحال درعین حال جذاب و پبچیده از رز و پچولی رو داریم حتما امتحانش کنید

Try this fragrance without thinking about it's price tag.let it's magic hypnotize you.let it's very well done ingredients dance with each other.then you'd see that again angel schlesser has a great surprise.a reasonably priced perfume with a niche quality First time that I tried oriental ll first things that reached my mind were rose,chocolate,oud..it's definitely an oriental and orientals with rose,saffron and oud had been done a million times before but there's something very unique here,oriental notes are blended with delicate powdery florals and also some gourmand notes so this an oriental with a modern,feminine,gourmand twist When I saw notes list and I saw there's no oud and no chocolate here I was shocked.praline is playing as chocolate and smokey patchouli is playing as oud.just like rose which sometimes has fruity-raspberry like-naunces..oriental 2 is a combination of sweet rose,nutty chocolate(praline)smokey patchouli,and soft powdery florals in a silky base of vanilla and creamy woods.what you have is a sweet,delicious scent with a dark,mysterious and sexy vibe.it's very smooth and velvety,complex and sophisticated,mature and rich,it's very worthy buying Although it's a sexy feminine scent,I agree that it can also pass as unisex and it's easily wearable by a man It's a cold weather scent and a night scent..longevity is superb.sillage is more than moderate and it leaves a gorgeous dark trail behind you Am I going to buy a bottle for myself? Yeap,definitely

Initial blast is a strong soapy but very lux rosey scent along with dark chocolate (i can t smell a sweet praline here), creamy woods and amber, nice trails of powdery violet and saffron flower, an edgy hint of carnation and a minimal just right amounth of mossy smoky patchouli. this scent has a very powdery and quite linear dark mysterious character. Very sexy i guess, but also classy elegant. Great job! From top to bottom. Love it! Smells expensiv and the bottle is a sturdy black very minimal chic jewel as the scent itself is: bold minimal chic. Amazed. Sillage and longivity average. will not offend anyone. Nb. After 1-2 hours it remembers me strongly to rose by pierre cardin which i used to wear back in the 80s as my signature scent, but with a modern refined twist. After 3 hours the rose is gone and the drydown remains with a beautiful soft powdery bitter chocolaty amber trail and creamy sandalwood staying very close to the skin, but it still seems projecting to the crowd around, guess because on clothes it stays forever.

This is a very nice cozy sweet and feminine scent. It's the mixture of a juicy extracted Iranian rose water and TM's Angel! _keep in mind that Thierry Mugler's patchoulies do have a very particular heavenly smell, so imagine typical patchouli instead of that; while we're at it, also put a hint of smokiness and chocolaty wetness there as well! -. It's the kind of fragrance that puts me instantly at ease, and I feel I can go to bed in this happy, safe cloud. The trail that it leaves behind smells mostly of the rose note+ some complex aspects; but the closer you get, the more complicated it gets, and you can get the patchouli and sweet chocolate and amber and sandalwood. ... Oh, and vetiver! Vetiver is the lost link in a lot of sweet gourmand fragrances, and I can not get enough of it... The sillage is more than moderate on my skin and longevity is about 6 hours with the first 3 hours being very strong. It's certainly too good of a fragrance for the price. This is certainly a "love" for me. I personally rate this 7.5/10.

Ouuu , I like this perfume a lot . On first spray I got a sharp masculine scent...as it settles down it turns into a jammy rose without it being overly sweet. It is now going onto 4 hours and I can still smell it on my clothes. I ran errands and as I was walking I smelled it through my jacket and said "mmmm" this smells so good lol. A.S Oriental is almost identical to middle eastern perfumes. I can overspray this and it won't give me a headache. The notes blends very well with one another which is a plus for me !

Rose-praline and patch perfection. This Schlesser's offering really stands out proudly as something special among so many rose&patch combo. I can get some vibes from Calligraphy Rose due to saffron and amber, but Oriental Edition II is all about rose, praline and patchouli still. It has mature, adult, complex sweetness, great projection and sillage, Middle-Eastern expensive shopping malls aroma. I love the candied aspect and brightness of the rose here, and really pleased with how memorable it is. Recommend.

Oh, just... FANTASTIC! I like it very much! It's a very dark, mysterious and complex scent, it is unisex but smells very charming and sofisticated on a woman! The initial blast is very 'dark' and quite masculine, but very quickly a dusty, velvety, thick and powdery red rose comes on the surface. Lasting power is very good. It's not a 'sweet' scent and I m not able to smell clearly any sweet notes but I smell woody notes and saffron for sure. This is how I imagine an unusual, expensive niche perfume to be.

At first the rose and patchouli is very strong and kinda like competing and complementing each other at the same time. I know that sounds wierd. Then I smell praline that not so sweet and not too bitter, very well balance here. This driesdown to vanilla scent on my skin, the rose is taking the very back seat and I can't smell patchouli anymore. Performance is great.

Come on guys, get over yourself and drop some cash on this beauty. I wore this for Valentine's Day (Who can beat Roses and Chocolatey Praline) and it was smash hit! A bit feminine but definitely unisex enough to be pulled off by a confident man. If you want to masculine it up a bit layer it with a nice rose/oud combo like Rasasi's Dhanal Oudh Ruwah. Fantastic Frag!

I love this. It's a great blind buy and amazing for the price. It goes on strong rose on top. It is sweet and rich. It reminds me of Calligraphy Rose with a little more staying power. As it dries down the spice and woods come out but the rose stays very present.

My fragrance preferences have evolved to oriental because of the performance of orientals on my skin. This works for me. The projection is very good and the longevity is great. It's a lovely bouquet of dark rose.

Totally rose Oudh genre, though I don't see Oudh listed in the ingredients. Very much in the same vein as ROSES GREEDY and ROSE Oudh by MANCERA. Will get back with more later, since I just bought it.

Drydown on this is amazing. 24 hours later (and just about to shower it off) my arm smells of a light, milky, sugar free rose chocolate cream. Very impressive for the price. Truly a hidden gem.

Wow, this is a silky delicious velvety mix of roses, praline, oud, and musk on me. I am so lucky this is working. Cannot get over the silkiness of this scent. My best blind buy of the year.

It is dangerously intoxicating ! Feels like you cannot get enough of it but your whole self is pleading for more! Unexpected treasure..

Oud rose and little saffron That’s it nothing more But that’s enough I believe It’s an awesome scent for what you pay Lasts a long time

This is a purely masculine fragrance I see, is not fit for women ..

@garethjamesluk - you're definitely right.

This is my "it's complicated", the one I love but also can't be around it at times, an addictive toxic relationship of a fragrance. Like a lover who drives you crazy and you know it will never really work, but you can't help going back for more every now and then, Oriental Edition II has some power over me and makes me go back to its intoxicating aura again and again, and I enjoy it every time in spite of never really feeling fully comfortable wearing it and even getting occasional headaches from it. I see this scent on a confident woman who's both a business shark and a modern day femme fatale. Oh yeah, baby, you don't wanna mess with her. Oriental Edition doesn't smell too refined, it also has that abrasive, rough quality to it which makes it come off as "predatory" and lets you know that the woman who chose it knows a thing or two about real life and could probably care less what you think about her. Personally, I've noticed I tend to feel self-conscious wearing it as I'm not sure I have enough of a presence to pull it off most of the time. It's funny how I thought it smelled really high-end in the first few months after buying it, but now, about a year later, I inevitably get a strong nail polish remover note that lasts a good couple of hours (hence the headaches, I guess), so I can definitely see why people describe it as synthetic and a tad cheap smelling. For me, applying it with a cotton pad rather than spraying directly on my skin seems to take some of that artificial edge off. Leaves a very smooth and pleasant woody vanilla aftertaste on your skin the next day. Fairly powerful and long-lasting. My partner has described it as both "lovely" and "strong and medicine-like" on different occasions, not the faintest idea it was the same fragrance, so I guess this one is a bit of a wild card in terms of how those around you perceive it, there's no way of predicting how this charming venomous snake will decide to behave whenever you choose to wear it. Seems to be somewhat of an aphrodisiac, too, even if it's not perfectly likeable. Like I said, it's complicated. P.S. Wearing it today, hubby just gave me a hug and walked off to another room and started singing Arabian Nights. When asked what inspired him, he said no idea. This stuff is subliminal :D

Oriental Edition II is finally mine!!! yay. About my journey: I was intrigued as this frag was compared to Armani's Rose d' Arabie which I own. I'm quite heavy handed with the latter and as much as I love it to pieces still struggling to justify its price point. Due to the price point, I have been on the lookout for a cheaper alternative to Rose d' Arabie and given my experience with roses and perfumes in general, found it hard to believe that a more reasonably priced alternative was non-existent. Searched and looked for months and ended up eyeing Oriental II. I must add that it is not easy to test this one in the UK but given it's widely available online I risked a blind-buy based on the reviews and relative low cost in case of failure. So are they alternatives? While I love Oriental II and not regretted buying it I must point out that to me Oriental II isn't really an alternative to Rose d' Arabie but a different aspect within the rose genre and here's why. Oriental II appears to be a more gourmand take on roses, nearly edible and showcases primarily the praline/patchouli which is sprinkled with roses. Very gourmand, cosy, smells like an expensive exquisite desert. In the meantime in Rose d' Arabie the star is the Rose itself with capital R and the rest of the notes ensure that this Diva has an edge. As you may conclude from my rambling, I'll be enjoying both and probably reaching out more for Oriental II in colder days.
