If not, I'll keep trying in other weather and seasons and may have to let it sit for a year in my perfume closet to let the molecules adjust before I try it again in the future. I've seen others saying that Wish is drowning in patchouli, and I wish this was the case - but am also glad it's not?

It does have a similar vibe to it but Angel is a bit more dirty (in a good way though) and slightly more creamy. Very nice, but it's the type that blends with many similar ones and fades in comparison to those with stronger personalities, the ones that tell their own story.There is some sensual cloud of a type of musk osthmanthus patchouli insense vanilla or tonkabean mixed together with white floral slightly sweetened perhaps with honey I think its getting sweeter now It's not as sweet as the voting notes imply if you are expecting candy sweet like Arianna grande or pink sugar and the cupcake sweet note in fantasy by Britney so far it isn't I've had it on for about 20minutes. But I wish that Wish would reveal more of the notes, namely all the flowers, incense, tonka, rosewood. Top notes are Coconut, Strawberry, Gooseberry, Black locust, Pear, Black Currant, Brazilian Rosewood, Honeysuckle, Yuzu and Orange Blossom; middle notes are Honey, Milk, Orchid, Heliotrope, Violet, Osmanthus, Magnolia, Jasmine and Lily-of-the-Valley; base notes are Caramel, Vanilla, Patchouli, Toffee, Incense, Sandalwood, Amber and Tonka Bean. The only reason why they bothered me is because I was testing other frags as well, and I couldn't - because Wish didn't let me smell anything else!

However, once initial spray wears off and middle notes come in, thats when it redeems itself, and transforms into Angel Lite minus the chocolate. She would have totally wore this back then, just like a lot of young women in the 90's would I would guess. This has much different notes, just like Angel, similar colour and style of bottle, but for me it ends there. This is a fruity, floral, powdery, and slightly tropical fragrance due to the likes of the coconut and such.

That harsh musk , then it turns sooooo similar to Calvin Klein euphoria, but with more powder , then finally it ends up smelling like old school cover girl foundation, the dry down is similar to the kenzo jungle elephant with a powder element . However, the similarity lies in the sense that you can tell that there is an abundant amount of notes in the opening, as well as the dry down, and in the base. I do like angel but sometimes when you just want to smell that bit classier and sophisticated this knocks angel out of the water.

Overall a gourmand with prominent patch, and a berry-kissed rose at the heart, with a multitude of other notes dancing about. EDIT 3: I just got a whole big 75 ml thing of this as I have almost used up the 5 ml mini the review was based on. I got the strawberry and praline sweetness and do smell the patchouli which is a note I don’t care for but it isn’t overpowering as it is in angel.

It's such a shame because the bottle is beautiful and so many other people smell sweetness which I just do not pick up at all. I finally got to experience the legend that is Chopard Wish today, i havent smelled Angel edp so im impartial to that comparison, i do know that its not really anything like the angel EDT though as i have tried that. Immediately on spraying -- I only did one spritz to not overdo it -- I got a very sharp chemical slap in the face.

I'm not currently wearing it but I still have two bottles of it, one that's half full and a back up. It was never supposed to be a dupe for Angel, for all the people complaining that it's not, it was it's own perfume. Wish Eau de Parfum blends coconut, gooseberry, honeysuckle and strawberry to create a delicate creamy sweet opening with exotic undertones. It started as a strong as hell patchouli and caramel bomb and didnt really differ much from that for about 45 minutes.

It's a gorgeous heady, going out clubbing perfume but I wear it anywhere coz that's just the type of person I am. The base notes are Gourmand and Oriental, a never ending display of Caramel, Vanilla, Patchouli, Toffee, Incense, Sandalwood, Amber and Tonka Bean.
