Our Verdict

Angel EDT and Gourmand Patchouli share a sweet, woody, and warm spicy core, but diverge in execution. Angel EDT, a softer take on the original, emphasizes its chocolate-patchouli heart with a fruity edge. Gourmand Patchouli leans into a creamy vanilla and cedar, with pink pepper adding a touch of spice. The key difference lies in Angel EDT's brighter, fruity top notes versus Gourmand Patchouli's deeper, warmer base. Angel EDT is discontinued, so Gourmand Patchouli is the easier to find alternative.

Our Verdict - Angel EDT
A divisive, discontinued gem that softens the original Angel's bold personality without losing its distinct character. People are absolutely gutted it's gone. If you want a more wearable version of a classic, this is it - if you can find it.
