Dream Angels Heavenly

Beautiful, romantic, feminine, sensual, alluring, warm, creamy, softly sweet, powdery, musky, floral, softly woody, slightly fresh, gentle, delicate, inviting, elegant, dreamy, cozy, comforting This one is such a classic! I still have my original bottle from around ‘08 and I’m very thankful for that! I have not personally tried the new “Heavenly” formula/version, but I’ve heard that it’s not as good as the original, so I’ll have to test for myself. So, this review is for the original formula one that’s in the bottle pictured on this page. I mainly pick up on the vanilla, musk, and sandalwood the most prominently. The next ones I notice well are orchid, peony, Iris, and violet which brings a mixture of soft and powdery florals. I also get some mandarin orange, freesia, and lotus that add just a slight freshness to the overall scent. I do get just a soft whisper of cardamom which gives it just a bare hint of fresh yet warm spiciness. I also feel like there’s some amber in this because I get that scent of golden warmth that amber always brings. Overall, on me it’s a softly sweet, warm, creamy, and powdery musky vanilla scent with soft and powdery florals, and a slight freshness. It’s so very beautiful, romantic, warm, elegant, cozy, and comforting. I think this can easily be worn by any age group, and for the majority of occasions. I feel that the scent really shines during the colder months of fall and winter, but could be worn year round. It’s a very easy reach, a compliment getter, and an inoffensive scent (probably even a good choice for health care workers). I get great performance with Dream Angels Heavenly. The longevity is really good, it lasts the majority of the day on me. The projection is nice too, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me. For reference, some of my other favorite vanillas &/or VS fragrances include Gold Sugar, Dream Angels Heavenly Stardust, Dream Angels Forever, VS Vanilla Lace, Kayali The Wedding Silk Santal, Kayali Vanilla 28, Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Phlur Vanilla Skin, SDJ Summer é Amor, SDJ 62, VS Pink, VS Tease Temptation, VS Seduction Dark Orchid, VS Glitter Hustle, B&BW Vanilla Romance

The original Dream Angels Heavenly (the white cap version) is my favorite out of all the Angel versions. It smells very unique with its distinct cardamom note along with the soft woodland musk with a hint of an almost mossy ivy and powdery vanilla. It's one of those rare concoctions that doesn't smell like anything else I know of which is quite an accomplishment for a white musk. Another impressive quality is that it doesn't smell like cotton candy, Vanilla Fields, soap, old lady, rubbing alcohol or bug spray like too many of the other white musks I've tried and been disappointed with so I always run back to my Heavenly. When I had it I wore it a lot at first for about a year or two when it first came out but over the years the last bottle I had lasted forever because it was so popular that I can easily smell it on other people. A coworker from 10 years ago wore what I think was Halo and was very heavy handed with it so it was weird smelling her wearing a flanker of my Heavenly. That's really when I stopped wearing it every day. A a few years ago I found a little travel Heavenly and fell in love all over again. When I ran out of that one I had to have another bottle because I weirdly have to have this in my collection now or else I'm not happy. My guess is I'll probably keep doing that until I can't find it anymore. I'm committed for the long haul, till death do us part! This beauty definitely deserved its Fifi.

I was lucky enough to score a 125ml bottle of the original formulation for an absolute STEAL compared to what is being asked on the resale market right now. It is the second version of the packaging, with the clear cap. I had previously gotten a used bottle off Ebay, missing its cap but I believe it was the oldest version (white heart cap) and it had definitely begun to turn, so I hadn't bothered to write a review. (The cardamom was a complete MONSTER, wreaking havoc for a good hour or two until it got tired and retreated back into the ocean from whence it came, and then i was left with a weak but pleasant drydown). Anyway, I had kind of given up on finding the original Heavenly that I loved to death in high school. But somehow I found a wonderful woman selling her bottle that she just never wore, and now I FINALLY have that beautiful scent that I remember!! It is slightly spicy, slightly green, slightly soapy in the opening. Then the florals come through and freshen everything up before the powdery vanilla base arrives. (Oh yeah guys, I can actually smell the vanilla in this one! Woohoo!) It is a unique and lovely scent, so reminiscent of my teenage years when I would keep a travel bottle of this in my purse. (Also does anyone use Soap & Glory products? The Mist You Madly scent totally reminds me of this, and I loved that back in the day as well) So happy to finally have this in my collection for real!

I could never describe this, but it's called heavenly for a reason, ladies(and gents!) this is my classic favorite, the one I've worn forever and will never ever retire! Smells sooo beautiful and unique, such an unusual and lovely smell! It's white musk, warm powdery sandalwood and cardamom w/undertones of dry vanillaa... Divine;). If you've never smelled this ,you must! you may have ideas in your head on how it may smelll, but once you actually try it, it will exceed your expectations and smell nothing like you imagined it to smell. . It's one of a kind-distinct, soft, feminine and an attention grabber always. There is a baby powder vibe to this, but There's so much more to it than that.. Really ladies, men love smelling this on us! i worked in a rehab before, and all the guys knew this one and loved it, they'd ask to spay it on their pillow lol. luckily, heavenly isnt nearly as popular as it used to be, but its a very loved and well known fragrance. The sillage and staying power aren't the greatest, so I never waste time with the body mist and go straight for the EDP. If you can find this in a fragrance oil, that's your best bet. I layer with the oil, lotion and EDP and it lingers all day. Again, the name says it all.. I think this should be a staple in everyone's wardrobe as it truly is the scent of a woman ..clean, soft, simply gorgeous. I love it!<3

This perfume made me feel like a woman for the first time. I was walking around the mall in high school and a sales lady was standing outside of Victoria's Secret and offered to spray me, so I stuck out my arm, and when I smelled it, I was instantly in love. That was the original version, way back in the early '00s, and it's gone through several reformulations. But I've never forgotten that smell. It was creamy and sweet, but with a slight sharpness, and just so, so, so feminine, sensual, beautiful. Really a perfect blend. The image I get is wearing a really soft, white angora/cashmere sweater on a winter night, the fabric brushing against your skin, and your hair is perfectly done in voluptuous waves and cascading down your neck, and you're wearing this perfume. So cozy and feminine. I bought one on ebay that was many years old and it smelled rancid, but I got luckier on the second try and only the top notes are a little off and then it settles into what I remember. Unfortunately the current formula smells like an absolute mockery in comparison (it is juvenile, simple, and loud). But that smell from long ago is burned into my memory forever. It was a masterpiece, and in my opinion is in a different league than some outrageously priced luxury perfumes I've recently smelled. What I wouldn't give to have a fresh bottle of the original formula. :')
