Angel with a Sparkling Citrus Twist
Angel Aqua Chic is a really fresh take on the original Angel, however it's lacking the gourmand qualities that I enjoy. It's a somewhat light and musty patchouli scent, freshened up with sour, sparkling citrus.
Although the original is fairly controversial and difficult to wear, it has character. Unfortunately the same can't be said of Angel Aqua Chic. Its inoffensive sillage and approachable scent makes it great for Summer, but also very bland and unexciting.
I have no idea what cornflour is supposed to smell like, so I can't really detect it in this composition. Like I mentioned before, the patchouli is quite a dominant fixture in Angel Aqua Chic. However, it does vary in strength. During the opening it seems less noticeable, but by the drydown it becomes much more apparent.
Like the original Angel EDP, this Summer flanker also has a touch of mystery. It's not a bad scent, however I would probably choose the original over and above Angel Aqua Chic, (and any other similar Summer-inspired flankers for that matter), if I ever had Angel cravings.
I don't know about anyone else, but I would love to see an Angel intense flanker. Now that would be fun. But then again, I suppose Angel Liquer de Parfum has already achieved that.
On a more positive note, the longevity is to be applauded. It's a good concept and a pleasing result. However if I were the perfumer, I would either make it more aquatic and crisp, or skip making it altogether.
