Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Angel EDP

Angel is a groundbreaking scent that defined the gourmand genre, exploding with sweet, edible notes over a dark, patchouli-rich base. Daring and unmistakable, it commands attention and leaves a magnetic, unforgettable trail.

Our Verdict - Black XS EDP

This perfume is a divisive one. While some find it to be a unique, sexy, and addictive blend of dark fruits and cacao, others are let down by its perceived weakness and lack of longevity compared to its predecessor. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, often depending on skin chemistry and expectations.

Season and Occasion Fit

Angel

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Angel's dense, ultra-sweet, and spicy gourmand profile with chocolate, caramel, and patchouli makes it ideal for cold weather and fall-winter wear, where its richness shines without becoming cloying. It can be overwhelming in heat, but some enjoy its warmth in early spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Angel is bold and commanding, best suited for evening, dates, or formal occasions where making a statement is desired. Its projection and intensity can overwhelm in close or informal settings, so it's less fitting for office or sporty wear.

Black XS

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its intimate sillage and seductive, dark profile mean it's ideal for dates and evening events where you want to make a statement without overpowering. However, its perceived weakness by some users makes it less suitable for formal settings requiring strong projection, and it's certainly not a sport fragrance.
