Angel Stories Lights Off

Ummm, whoa! This is not the usual VS type of fragrance. I sprayed it on my wrist and had instant scent memory flash back to mid 20's when I wore Neonatura Cocoon Yves Rocher. This is the memory of Cocoon. It's not quite as heavy and cocoaish, but it's enough so I had instant recognition. I smell a dry, bitter, dark chocolate patchouli, warm amber, vanilla and a clean musk shyly hanging out in the background. I'm honestly shocked this was made produced by VS. I don't know who the nose is but I'm willing to wager they were a Cocoon fan. This scent is unisex, maybe even slightly masculine, and the bottle and packing is pretty, even elegant! I had a 20% off coupon and got a $20 reward card with purchase so I bought it. Now, I'm sitting here sniffing and having memories of my life over a decade ago. It doesn't smell exactly like Cocoon, but it absolutely is the memory of it with an added clean musk in the drydown. Bravo to VS for going so far out of their usually paint by numbers sweet, fruity fare. This layers very well with vanilla based scents and I'm sure it would with many fragrances especially chocolate and vanilla ones. I tried it with Vanille West Indies Ligne St. Barth and I smell incredibly good right now!

Intoxicating, alluring! This is such a flirty-sexy lightbulb that is totally different from VS market. Top notes are vanilla and patchouli which I catch its also blending with soapy scent. Tested on the skin is not like on the paper, very sweet , gourmandy , unstoppable sniffing myself. I receive a lot of compliments when wearing this patchouli perfume . The lasting power is FANTASTIC! Don't over spray it guys because it is so strong sillage. It may become offense to anyone who does not wear the perfume. It maybe is overpowering in Summer , but in Fall and Winter , go on and Ambery-Woody lovers will addict this chicky girl!

I bought this based on rave reviews here. And while the fragrance is quite unique and I dare say unisex, the longevity is atrocious. The scent is sandalwood off the bat, a little incense and musk, with equal parts of florals. An hour later, nothing. Just the faintest of skin scent barely left. It a unique nice scent, not game changing but the chagrin of its short life is the reason you should not blind buy.

Lights off is a very different VS scent...like others have stated. It was an instant "really like" for me. It reminds me of H&M Santalum....Estee Lauder Sensuous type vibes scent...and I will even go way out on a limb and add Lebo Santal 33 ..but cut down by 3/4... Light projection/sillage on me...but...still a very happy to own scent. A surprise.
