Dark Angelica

Argh, Dark Angelica is sooooooo good. I don't have the OG and couldn't afford it at the L'Art et la Matière prices, but if it's as good as this impression it's not overpriced (merely out of my budget). I wish Dua would bring this back. I didn't even know I loved angelica, but here we are. There is something so addictively vernal about this one--in a weird way, it reminds me of Carnal Flower in its fresh greenness, but it doesn't have the bossy tuberose up front, and it doesn't smell at all camphorous. I wish I had a full bottle of this baby; I'm going to use up my 2-ml vial in no time. Dark Angelica is going straight to the top of my Dua wish list. Dua creators, if you are reading this, please, for the love of all that is holy, RESTOCK THIS FRAGRANCE. Just managed to buy a used bottle of this from a trusted source! So relieved. I keep thinking it wouldn't get restocked. Can't wait to have a full bottle so I can use up the rest of my 2-ml vial without too many regrets.

i haven't smelled the original, so i can't compare. i absolutely love this. i didn't know what to expect from a "green vanilla", nor have i smelled angelica, i was just intrigued by the notes. honestly, this fragrance reminds me of a slightly underripe (aka still green) banana, and i love that smell. this is totally different than any of my other fragrances, definitely any of my other vanilla-forward fragrances. it's not overly sweet, just super intoxicating. i'll have to get a decant of the original sometime, but this is absolutely something i need to keep in my collection.

Very close to Angelique Noire, but a little stronger (it's an extrait) I was comparing them and I really could spot any difference. Very worth it if you can't afford like 3-400 for Angelique. I've actually never smelled a dupe that was this similar before. And this is my first DUA fragrance, so now I'm really excited to try more. The real wood cap is pretty awesome too!

I don't have a sample of Angelique Noire anymore but I do have a sample of the dupe by Julianna's Perfumes to compare this to and I really prefer the Dua because it lasts longer and projects farther but both scents are very similar to me

Ok, this smells amazing, and I literally just opened the package. Will update on my channel soon 😉 Rose Ayala Perfume Addict on YouTube ❤️ Update: This is the most beautiful intoxicating green vanilla, sexy and classy at the same time!
