Angelique Extrait de Vanilla

I love this perfume! To me, it is very witchy and mysterious and I am all about it. I have the Fragrance World Elysia Sugar Patchouli and this is so much prettier in my opinion. Angelique is smoother and the Patchouli is less in your face and more elegant. I think this is what I was hoping Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper would smell like, it's less rosy too(rose gives me mega scent migraines). I love the orchid and plum together in this fragrance as well. This is definitely going to be in regular rotation as it gets cooler in the fall. I got it for $18 on Amazon and loved it right from the first spray, so excellent blind buy for me. It's definitely on the gothic and dark side so take that into consideration if that's not your thing

The notes are wrong here. On the Riffs website the notes are; TOP: VANILLA ORCHID AND JASMINE; HEART: BROWN SUGAR AND TONKA BEAN; BASE: PALO SANTO, TONKA BEAN, GUAIAC WOOD, AMBRETTOLIDE, PERU BALSAM, PATCHOULI AND HAITIAN VETIVER. I've have not smelled the original however I really enjoy wearing Angelique a lot in the cooler weather cause its toasty and warming. I think you have to like the note of Palo Santo to enjoy this fragrance as it is quite prominent here as it does give a strong woody/incensey quality. At the top and mid there is a strong creamy sweet Vanilla almost custard like in texture but as it dries down you lose some of that creamy texture and get a more woodsy balsamic powdery sweet Vanilla scent.

Listen when I tell YOU!! For £23 this just might be my blind buy of the year 😍😍 amazing dupe of Vanilla Royal Sugar Patchouli - I adore that scent, but now I can spray this Riiffs version with wild abandon all day, every day. Sillage and longevity- monster on me- lasts all day and projects all round my room -love to use this as a layering base for so many other perfumes. Gets a ton of compliments, I have one back up bottle already but am tempted to pick up another, that’s how good this is

I love Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli, so I was hoping to get a good inspired by and Riffs did not play, however the initial spray is a bit alcoholic for me the first few minutes and then the dry down is there and aaaahhh the sugar, vanilla and rose come thru ever so lightly. I do say I get more of maple and amber as the base.This is not my favorite, but for the price I paid, it's not bad.

its amazing. smells expensive. one of the best from Riiffs.
