About Angel perfume?

[Ejzuudjej]

Surely there are others who agree this is what hell will smell like.

I am a perfume-lover and can usually tolerate all the strong ones - Guerlain, Calvin Klein etc. but there is something about this perfume that makes me feel ill. I can smell it a mile-off.

A woman in my office wears it. She is lovely, but I can't stand to be near her, or be in a room she has been in.
I know I am being unreasonable really, but do people really think this smells nice?

I love Angel but its way too heavy for day time, I only wear a light spray of it in evenings. Perfume is so very personal, I quite like Red Door too!

It's mils favourite. [grin[

I like the smell but it doesn´t suit me. Ditto the classic Chloé perfume.

I tend to use the original Daisy by Marc Jacobs or a non-branded light lemon scent that we bought in Capri (think we´re going to have to go back just to buy more of it!)

I love it! However, it is very strong and sweet and I favour more gentle ones these days.

Lol at Toffee apples & wet dogs ????
Red door Is up there with it, as both are vile perfumes

I love it.

I detest it. It makes me feel sick and migrainey.
I would not be able to work closely with someone wearing this perfume. It's hideous.

"I actually passed out once at work when a colleague wore it. It smells like burnt toffee apples with an undercurrent of wet dog. Nauseating."

To me, it's a cloying, throat-tightening mix of potent car deodoriser vanilla, fly spray and sulphur.

If you work with someone who wears a perfume you don't like, just ask very nicely if they could not wear it to work. Like my colleague did with the Poison. I wasn't offended in the slightest, and didn't use it for work any longer, and she was happy. Simple!

Branching off topic slightly, does anyone else have a Mr. Hyde style rage if people spray perfume in a lift?

I have lost count of the times I´ve entered a lift only to get a noseful of perfume...I think it´s so anti-social. The smell will be enclosed in the lift with nowhere to escape and in many buildings there is a bathroom (appropriate perfume-applying location) located next to the lift anyway. I would genuinely rather smell the fart that they were presumably trying to cover up.

I used to like it, tiny dab on wrist is enough, then someone i worked with started wearing it. She would cover herself in it. If you got in lift after she'd been in it you would want to throw up.

Happy36 I work in a building with lifts and can thankfully say I have never had anyone spray perfume in one. I agree that it would be completely anti-social, particularly if it was Angel. I would have to take the stairs.

I used to wear it and never quite knew why...

It's undertones of antiseptic are pretty unpleasant.

But at the time I must have loved it.

I've been through them all - LouLou, Opium, Venezia, Poison, Issy Miyake, DKNY apples, some other bloody Apple, Sarah Jessica Parkers Lovely (on the inside)...

Now I can't even bare to sniff em. Oh and Pomegranate Noir.....

Now it's one brief spritz of Si! All I can stand.

It has the same affect as traffic fumes on me. It makes me headachey, nauseous and cross if I smell it for more than a short moment. There's something noxious in there, almost diesel but not quite. Something to do with engines.

Other perfumes I don't like I can tolerate, but Angel (and Alien actually) are unbearable to me.

its awful. truly awful.

Yanbu. Angel is a horrible perfume.

I love it.

But I would not wear it to work. It's too strong so it's antisocial to force it on others.

My Dh loves it so I uaually only wear it for nights out, or in, together.
So it also has good associations.

I also love La vie est belle, but think this is too strong for work too. One women at work wears this and the smell takes over the office. Although I like it it does feel this smell they've chosen is being forced on you constantly daily, so if you hate it it must be awful.

Lord it's grim. We only have one smoker in our office and she's very self conscious about the smell so after each fag she washes her hands and then sprays that shit all over herself.

Hate urbane dp's ex wore it which is a good enough reason to steer clear. I wear Chanel 5 or Bvlgari original.

Love it and have had loads of compliments when i do. Others include Cinnabar, Youth Dew, Opium and Flower Bomb all of which are 'heavy' but they seem to be the ones that get compliments.

I like 'strong' perfumes but hate Angel. It's sickly and sweet and cloying and always smells like the wearer has had a bath in it, and then squirted it some more, just to make sure that everyone within a 20 mile radius can smell it too. It's vile.

It's nice but REALLY easy to overdo.

Smells like my ex mil!!! Disgusting in every way

It's revolting, made me physically gag when I was pregnant. My best friend loved it and got so used to the smell she couldn't smell it on herself so sprayed the stuff everywhere. Yuck.
