Comparing: OG Dream Angels Heavenly vs. 2022 Heavenly
Comparing this OG formula (same bottle design pictured but with the white heart cap), against the newest release (available now in VS stores as of 2022):
OG:
- cardamom takes center stage throughout, and mimics somewhat of a subtle saffron or curry edge; makes it feel like something to wear on a chilly fall night
- the other notes are blended so perfectly that it's hard to tell what else is in the background other than something soapy, musky, powdery, "cashmeran", and cozy
- all notes remain present during wear
CURRENT:
- no cardamom is present, which is the biggest difference; this takes off the "spicy" edge and leaves the fragrance feeling only clean, soapy, fresh with a subtle, sweet musk in the background
- smells like a "sexy soapy" fragrance
- suitable for wear anywhere, any time of year, any time of day or night
- if you love "lactonic baby wipe" fragrances, you'll love this
FINAL VERDICT:
- while I do love the OG formula, I actually prefer the current over the OG
- OG's spice feels too intimate to me for something casual, and also seems like it wouldn't work as well for spring/summer as it feels very cozy
- OG's spice does give it a special, unique, and alluring feel, that would be perfect for special occasions
