Sweet (My version from around 2015)
Apparently Angelique means angelic rather than the plant angelica the plant being that which comes to my mind first when reading the name of this fragrance.
So setting aside my confusion that this doesn't smell like angelica I wonder what exactly it does smell like to me as I don't get any of the note pyramid springing to my mind.
To me this has a super sweet but not in any way gourmand, cupcake, or vanillic floral. More like a honey floral but not like honey from a jar. It's a cold sweet, sweet, honey like floral top, bright, almost like lifted with lemon but not lemon smelling. The musky smell on me is a little bit "I've been digging in the garden".
As it dries I find it ethereally woody, musky, bit smokey but not in anyway veering into bonfire just a vague wispy smoke, a bit mossy. I've no idea what is in the perfume but I get the feeling of vague woody that I get from Angéliques Sous La Pluie
But overall, it's mostly this lemon but not lemon lifted sweet, cold, honey floral. On me it smells light but feels heavy.
After a brief, brief bright opening this wears very linear on me so not my cup of tea. I can imagine this would be nice on my auntie as she has the type of chemistry that makes 5th Avenue, Chanel No. 5, Chanel No. 19 absolutely sing.
