Top notch leather
Leather note, in my opinion, should smell like *someone wearing a leather jacket*, not the jacket itself, and in fact this is why I don't like most of the leather-forward perfumes. But this one is perfectly done -toned down leather, added greenery, and non-hippie-patchouli. There's of course some artificiality to the leather note itself but I get that in almost every leather-forward fragrances out there, so there's nothing out of the ordinary.

Hard to describe
....first of all, I like it better than its predecessor. The scent, a chypre candidate, is currently indulging in a capricious emotional rollercoaster... It starts off slightly boozy, almost like Khamrah, but instead of date and cinnamon, it’s a berry-like cognac... up to that point, it’s still fine, and suddenly it’s All Saints’ Day, I’m standing in pouring rain at the cemetery... now comes the creepy part... I actually smell damp earth, moss, and penetrating patchouli... take three... suddenly I have Angel on my skin again. The damp earthy note still lingers in the background... maybe my nose is playing tricks on me.... Angel falls into a honey pot in the DD... so the scent is interesting.

Fireplace and Snuggle Blanket..
A wonderful, soft scent, it smells of wood and a hint of leather... the lily adds something delicate...
I don't perceive the rest at all.
I can already see myself in a cabin in the woods in front of the fireplace with a hot cocoa and a snuggle blanket... it's snowing outside and the world is just right..
Definitely a candidate for my Christmas wish list.

Darker and more leathery than the original. Unisex. A bit rough, has a character. Still testing to know if I like it enough.

For me, another one that smells like this "FruitWoodLeather" synthetic. Hardly a note to discern. It feels like every 3rd new fragrance smells like this today.

Better than the regular one. Still edgy and sharp, but a bit smoother. I'm considering getting it. Longevity is okay.

Definitely better than the classic, but still not a recommendation for under 40s - the scent reminds me of my mom.

I smell brandy - very bitter and deep
Almost fermented berries - not unpleasant yet, but close
Cool, leathery, with vintage notes

Hard to grasp. Flowers planted in patchouli.
Next to them are buried leather clothes.

I only smell Angel Eau de Parfum - patchouli and nothing else. Is it the same for others?

Very strong, unisex. Leather is prominent, unfortunately also cigarette and something fermented. Unbearable (for me). Maybe better on a man?

Wow, this is how my dream woman smells! An incredible combination of narcotic flowers, leather, and berries. A hint lingers in the air for hours.
