Dark Angel

I must be one of the lucky ones because this perfume lasts long on me!!!! I instantly fell in love with this one last year when I went to VS and tested it out but didn't get a bottle. By the time I planned on getting it it was always sold out at the 2 stores I go to in my area lol so since I heard it was being discontinued I got online & hunted down a big bottle for a excellent price. I smell all the notes the 1st being the caramel then mango & the almond blossom..all 3 make a beautiful blend<3 I literally can't get enough of it!!!! Anytime I've worn this I get complimented & asked what perfume am I wearing....I definitely wouldn't call this a so called "dark" scent but IMO its a very sexy even mysterious scent. The longevity is easily 6 or more hours on me!!!! The silliage I find to be moderate.....This is a wonderful scent for the fall/winter months BUT I think this would work nice in the spring & even summer as long as you don't overload when applying & keep it light. **VS Rapture has always been my signature scent since highschool back in the 90's but as of now its being retired and Dark Angel has taken over & is my new signature scent!!!!!** The bottle is super cute with the wings on it! I snagged me another 3.4oz bottle of this along with 2 bottles of the matching body lotion since its being discontinued but I hope VS brings this back in the future<3

This perfume is probably my absolute favorite scent. I also associate this scent with my early 20’s and just have the best(some bad) memories that I wouldn’t trade for anything. This has such a nice warm sweet spicy scent to it that just screams seductively sexy tease. I actually love this scent way more than VS tease noir or Juicy Couture Noir, but since they discontinued it years ago I had to settle for those two and hope to find something similar but so far I haven’t found it(if anybody does, please let me know). This has a beautiful blend of caramel that doesn’t have an overly sugary almost sticky smell to it, a instead a soft spicy yet elegant caramel smell with pretty beautiful blend of almond blossom that just screams feminine and girly while still being mature. That’s another thing about this scent which is that really does have a bigger range on being suited for different ages. I say ages between 18-40 if not older would really enjoy this scent if they really enjoy spicy sweet smells that aren’t over powering.

I just bought this beauty on Thursday. A nice gourmand, not as dark as I had expected but certainly not a little girl's perfume. The notes listed on the VS website are a bit more in-depth: Notes: Almond flower, mango nectar and caramel latte. I loved that I could truly smell caramel latte in the fragrance. There is definitely a coffee note and it makes this perfume interesting. Edit: I have to say, this reminds me a bit of YSL Black Opium. Edit 2.0: I do not have trouble with VS perfume's lasting. You can't expect to have longevity if you spray a perfume a couple of times, unless it is TM Angel or one of the other sillage bombs. If you are spraying a bunch and still not smelling it...EVERYONE else is..

I adore this. It holds so many memories. This was the first VS perfume I smelled the first time I went to a VS store while on a trip to the Dominican Republic. I remember this smelled like absolute heaven, so creamy, sexy and warm. To this day, I still regret not getting it, even after all these years (it was so expensive for me back then 😢😢😢). The mix of mango and caramel give this perfume such a unique smell, I've yet to find a dupe or something that smells a bit like it. PLEASE if anyone knows of a dupe message me! The price of this on Ebay is INSANE. I do agree that Black Opium probably is in the same line but lacks that gourmand that DA has. Scandalous does resemble DA but...discontinued.

I wasn’t surprised that this is compared to black opium, although I don’t think they’re very similar but they are in the same family and it seems like all of my favorite perfumes are from this family I guess lol This is just super sexy, and I love how the juicy mango note balances out the dark sweetness of this scent I just bought this today and I just know I’m gonna use it all the time
