Choeur Des Anges

I love this - I really was not expecting much from this fragrance, since the reviews depict a unappealing or simply forgettable fragrance. I also generally dislike fruity fragrances, as I prefer molecular fragrances in the heat and spice in the cool weather. This caught me completely off guard but is intoxicating on my skin. It is a little bit of a chameleon, bringing to mind a refreshing lemon green tea, and the classic 90's powdered lemonade drinks. It also has a bit of a vintage feel, and is reminiscent of Chanel No. 5 L'eau while being a touch more fruity and playful. I think it manages to balance sophistication and whimsy well, being lovely and delicate while bringing you back to drinking cold Sunny D on hot days. User wordwithchester noted that it really shines during warm weather - I first sampled this during a ridiculously hot, humid day and was absolutely delighted with it. It's so ethereal, the citrus is zingy and juicy, and the powdery accord makes it more grown up. On my skin, the honey stays perfectly gourmand, and definitely stays far away from smelling like pee. It's sweet, but not too heavy to wear when it's hot. I believe it strikes the perfect balance and might be next on my summer wishlist. I will continue to test this during cooler weather (no use having a fragrance that only works during the hottest week of the year), but it is absolutely gorgeous and very much worth sampling.

This was a love at first sniff for me! I can clearly smell the blood orange, carrot seed, and honey. This honestly smells like an orange and carrot gummy bear to my nose. This used to be my signature scent when I worked as a summer camp teacher and I got compliments on it (from children and adults). The scent makes me happy and I feel like I smell "different" when I wear this. I recall sitting on the ground at a large park full of people. There was a gust of wind and my husband said "OMG! Something smells really nice." I had him sniff my inner elbow and he confirmed that's what he smelled. So, I would say that this radiates within arm length (confirmed by working in close proximity with others) and it last about 8-10 hours. Mind you, I'm on my 2nd bottle of this. The bottle is pretty but I don't care for the flecks of gold as I can't spray it on my clothes lol. All in all, this will be a repeat purchase for me as I now have scent memories attached to it.

Blood orange is dominating this scent, and then it is tamed by pear and honey, giving it a new facet, that is the sweet one on the way to the dry down. I really love the juice, though it's not necessary, the gold flake within the juice really is eye catching, and giving it a sense of wealth and expensiveness. The longevity and the silage is good, it lasts long, the scent bubble is on the arms length. All in all, this yellow, sour and sweet concoction is making me happy.

Im not a big fan of freshie type scents - but this is a twisted delight with effervescent feelzzzz. Blood orange is the dominant note for me - some light honey amber sweetness, osmanthus to make it creamy, carrot seeds to make it earthy - o, this is good. This is a daytime pool party - visor, bathing suit with sarong wrap - looking cute but not trying to get wet scent! Love Love

Wonderful scent 😍 It's been a long time since anything has made me so happy when it comes to scents. Joyful, juicy. I think it will work all year round because it's not obvious and each season will give it a slightly different character. I'm very glad I got to know it. I definitely want a bottle.

This is delicious. Freshly squeezed juice and honey and that hint of something I don't recognize that must be the carrot seed. That little carrot seed kick elevates this somehow. I agree with those reviews below, this is a very happy, cheerful scent. Gorgeous.

Sweet grapefruit and honeyed pear sprinkled with ambrette. Crazy staying power and projection for such fizzy happy fragrance. Best release out of three with white caps. Funny thing, it reminds me of original formulation Max Mara by Max Mara.

It is the carrot note that sets this fragrance apart. Orange softened and sweetened with honey, with the tiniest bit of that vegetal edge. Wonderful. This house can do no wrong. Their new Riviera line is fantastic, too.

Such an amazing fragrance. The scent brings me back to my childhood. It smells just like my favorite multivitamins that came in a tube paste. It is a very joyful fragrance.

I love this. This smells like what I imagined Blue Madeleine would smell like- like sipping tea and nibbling on an orange-scented madeleine. Sweet, light and beautiful.

Smells so so much better on the skin than it does trying to sniff it before spraying. I like this one very much. It is very complex.

So pretty! To me, this smells like fresh lemonds and green tea. Perfect summer/spring scent!

Choeur Des Anges is a bizarre perfume. The opening is a cross between Tang—the 1970s powdered orange drink that supposedly the astronauts drank—coupled with children’s orange flavored aspirin mixed with the scent of fresh bread baking in the oven. It’s clearly one of the oddest gourmand scents I’ve ever sprayed; a big citrus weirdo. And I like it. Minus the ridiculous, brand signature gold flakes (but that’s about presentation, this review is about the scent). And I’m reminded of another polarizing citrus perfume: Oyedo by Diptyque. They are different, but Oyedo is fizzy and medicinal like Choeur Des Anges. And they both perform well for citrus dominant scents. As Choeur Des Anges dries down, I like it a little less. It’s still dry and powdery but it’s less sweet. I’m reminded of candied orange peel; sticky, food-like goo and a tad sour. I gotta give the hat tip though. Kudos to this Atelier Des Ors for creating a perfume that is the definition of niche.

A simplified review here as I wrote some quite detailed notes on this but, having worn it a couple of times, it doesn't warrant a great deal of discussion. The top notes, the fruity accord whatever you want to call it, is unique (certainly to my nose) and while I could parrot the notes from here, I'd just say it smells like some sort of 'fruity amalgam'. The fact blood orange is mentioned is interesting and somewhat perceivable, as different to other broadly 'Orange' materials like orange oil, tangerine, mandarin, etc.... all of which are different but blood orange is really different. Then pear & blackcurrant? Sure. Why not? This accord is present throughout, a very long lasting fruity freshness, the glaze atop what is a mildly honied and caramelised amber accord, with what I'd say is a slightly femme lean. I think it's good, I like it. I don't love it though.

Citrus with a dusty tang, possibly from the combination of osmanthus and carrot seed. I find it extremely similar to a few Atelier Cologne offerings, particularly Pomelo Paradis, except it has a gently honeyed base that distinguishes it from most sweet citruses. Soft and silky honeyed oranges on the skin, I can easily smell why the Atelier des Ors might feel justified in charging their ridiculously steep price for this fragrance. The honey in the base is delicious but not cloying. Still, anyone who would rather save themselves some money might want to sample Atelier Cologne Pomelo Paradis or Floral Street Sunflower Pop. If you've got money to burn, then this one does win with a slightly higher score. Up to you if it's worth it.

Bought it as a gift for my mum & I'd say it was a risky buy with a good outcome. I bought it as a blind buy, particularly because the honey & blood orange notes caught my attention, however, when I first smelled it off the bottle I immediately grew scared since the citrus smell greatly overpowered all the other smells. However, once I put it on my skin the honey note left a sweet smell behind that I adored. Lucky for me, it left the same sweet smell on my mum as well. However, I do understand other reviews that did not take a liking into this perfume because when my cousin tried it on it negatively reacted against her skin & left behind a nauseating smell. Not something I would blind buy. I do love this perfume though.

I finally gave in and ordered a full bottle of this. I kept telling myself that it wasn't sophisticated enough or unusual enough to warrant the price, but the plain truth is that this fragrance just makes me happy. It lifts my spirits. Sure, it's so fruity and cheerful that it feels too young for middle-aged me, but again--happy! Maybe some more facets of the fragrance will reveal themselves when I'm able to wear this sprayed on instead of dabbed, but even if they don't, I can see myself wearing Choeur des Anges whenever I need a burst of juicy blood orange and honey to boost my spirits or just celebrate being happy. This is like wearing sunshine.

So, yes, this can smell like Emergen-C or Flintstone vitamins. The first time I tried my sample I thought it was a boring hard pass. BUT, when I wore it during a hot and stuffy car ride, it became something transcendent and transformative. The angelic choir started kicking in and in a moment of madness led me to buy the full bottle when I got home. It really only coalesces in the heat and falls flat otherwise, so it'll take me quite awhile to get through it. Pretty good longevity if sprayed inside elbows, on abdomen, etc. Definitely try under different conditions if you're on the fence.

First minute - a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice with a sprinkling of Tang and half teaspoon or honey. Good lord if it keeps smelling like this people may think I fell into a vat of Fun Dip. Thirty minutes later - more balanced blood orange, pear, osmanthus, something I can’t put my finger on so must be the carrot seeds, honey and amber. No cedar and just a hint of Tang. This is getting nicer. Hour+ later - much more sophisticated. True orange notes & a fine perfume, but am not sure it is something I want to smell like on a daily basis. Will keep testing.

Very pleased with this one, it is quite good. The longevity and silage aren't there for me, but I have a decant and it's still moderate. This scent impresses me as one of those fragrances where all of the notes are discernable but still harmonious. It also seems very flexible. I think the dark sweetness of it will sit on my skin nicely, even on a winter night, and the sweet-juicy balances it out and it hasn't been overwhelming on warm days. I don't know that I'll be entering the rotation permanently, but I do like it.
