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

I agree it smells like Juicy Hollywood Royal. Another VS/Juicy dupe except I like this much better than Hollywood Royal. I didn't like this scent at first because it was more fruity than I expected. After the fruitiness settles it is a nice warm almondy smell. I wish they hadn't discontinued it so fast right when I started to love it!

This is very similar to black opium. I've had both of them for a while. VS Dark Angel is slightly sweeter and almost like Black Opiums' slightly younger, more carefree sister. If you can get a bottle on a bargain then worth grabbing, but since its discontinued and has been for a long time, resell prices are silly. X

The soft and caramelized vibe of Black Opium. It's my favorite Victoria's Secret scent. Sure, like all VS fragrances, it doesn't stick around for long but for a brief moment it's perfect for smelling absolutely irresistible. That floral caramel note? Total bliss. Makes my eyes close in sheer delight every time.

This was my favorite bottle in High school, I loved the Angel line and they were beautiful bottles too display. The scent wasn’t anything too memorable or revolutionary, but it did smell delicious

very soft sweet floral fragrance but it stays on the skin

I don't have much to add as far as a review of Dark Angel goes - it smells warm, cozy, and soft. It's not really a dark scent like the name suggests, just as others have stated. And yes, longevity is not awesome, though it does cling to clothes pretty well. All that being said, my biggest critique of this perfume was the mango nectar note. I personally feel like this could have been a much more unique scent if the mango was taken out. I decided to try to mix Dark Angel with something else to boost longevity and also put a new spin on it and I mixed it with the Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte lotion from the Bath and Body Works fall collection from this year. Jackpot!! The MPL lotion is warm and sweet and slightly spicy from the ginger, and the caramel latte from Dark Angel blends in gorgeously. The tropical mango note is slightly toned down, but helps to bring a new dimension to the gourmand notes of the lotion. I adore these two together! I figured I would share in case anyone else would like to give this blend a try :)

I just got this today while on a trip to Las Vegas, and I mostly got this because I collect VS perfumes. The bottle is so pretty, but I agree with everyone else, the juice is weak. I really wish they'd stop making watered down perfumes. VS of old seemed to make some perfumes with decent longevity. It came with a free body lotion, so it wasn't such a bad deal. I sort of wish I'd bought the larger bottle now, due to how often I'll probably have to re-spray. They also seem to have just changed the bottle for the original Angel and Angel Gold. Not for the better, I might add. The newer bottles look cheaper. This Dark Angel bottle, however, is gorgeous.

Love it - sadly they just discontinued this a couple weeks ago!! I bought a bottle just in time and you can still find the perfume/rollerball/body lotions on eBay. Wish Victoria's Secret hadn't done that because this is one of their best by far. Dark Angel is perfectly named, in my opinion. It's angelic from the mango (which is the first note I smell when I spray on my skin, and lasts for 20-30 minutes), and dark from the caramel/latte notes, which envelop the mango and flowery almond blossom for the rest of the duration (I get about 4 hours on my skin). Warm and feminine and surprisingly complex for just a little 3-note scent from VS.

No surprises with this one, well, other than there's nothing "dark" about it. It's a simple, huggable fragrance. The notes you see are the notes you get. Caramel, almond and mango. It's pleasant and I really enjoy it. However, it does have the slight "cat pee" thing going on that some people get from mango. I only noticed briefly in the top and it's completely gone by the time the caramel nudges everything else out. If you love caramel, you should give this one a try.

Like it, but really??? They definitely need to make it much stronger!! I sprayed it, but can barely smell it. It's more like body spray strength.. Anyway, it smells like how I'd imagine mango flavored coffee to smell. I definitely get the mango, and a smooth coffee note. Perhaps layering with the lotion would make it stronger, but I just can't get over how weak this one is! I'd purchase it if it wasn't for that..

Hmm for some reason my review came up as "guest" but here is my original review "This perfume smells so good, like musky caramel with some added coffee BUT the lasting power is a joke! I can't even smell this after an hour and that's horrible for a regular perfume to disappear like that, let alone a "dark" scented perfume. Too bad :( If the lasting power was better then I would buy this in a heartbeat."

This perfume smells very nice, and I think the caramel scent is what you'll be left with for the longest after the dry down. This perfume is rather weak, so you will have to spray a lot to get much of an impact from it. It doesn't last terribly long, either, so it'll be best to have a rollerball in your purse for reapplication (which is probably a marketing scheme).

I just bought a half 50ml bottle for 32USD, And I liked every VS perfume that has "angel" in it's title, heavenly dreams angels, angel gold, pink angel, dream angels forever, and this caught my eyes. It's a bitter almond for me! But somehow also sweet, and right away I smell caramel, oh, okay I think I like it!

It smells good but just like all other VS perfumes it lasts an hour or two max. The caramel note is really a caramel latte (as per the box and VS website) which is very believable because it does have a coffee scent to it. If I weren't mistaken, I'd say this is a close dupe to YSL Black Opium.

Smells like sweet coffee, but not overly sweet . Soft, warm and cozy its linear and close to the skin. Weak longevity . Something about it reminds me of YSL Black Opium . I like it a lot and think it would make a nice gift for anyone as well. Especially for the gorgeous bottle !
