13 Awful-Smelling Fragrances

Warning
Angel isn’t the kind of scent you smell on a girlfriend, fall in love with, and then put on your Christmas list. You must try this scent on and give it an adequate amount of dry down time before understanding what it will actually smell like on YOU. This perfume is more sensitive to the individual chemistry of its wearers than any I have encountered before- it seems to me that it will either sme...read morell as amazing on a person as it does in the bottle, or quickly sour on application to a scent resembling rancid fruit. Sadly, I cannot wear Angel. I’ve tried fresh bottles at department stores, and returning for another a try after a few years have passed, but no matter what I do, this perfume smells terrible on me. Which is unfortunate as Angel can be memorable and captivating scent. There is something about this fragrance that envelopes in a good way; the closest thing I can compare it to is the wafting of warm caramel off the stove- but at the same time, it really smells much more complex than something like a baking scented candle. My mother received a bottle of this when I was about 10, and I remember scouring the fragrance sections of the mall as a young teen a perfume could offer that same warm enveloping note without clashing with my chemistry. Finally, Hilary Duff’s With Love came out and while I wouldn’t say that it smells like Angel, I feel that it shares a similar note or two. With Love is also a less aggressive fragrance that I feel is more appropriate for the under 15 set than Angel (not that I don’t still enjoy WL). If you can wear Angel then I am a bit jealous of you! Not only do I imagine that you will receive compliments from men and women, but I also suspect the bottle will last you quite a while. Angel is a strong perfume, the kind where a dab seems to equal three or four sprays of the average stuff. It also seems to have incredible longevity; when my mother wore it, a single morning application would last on her until the household went to bed at night.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
