Angel Schlesser Essential Angel Schlesser for women

I love this perfume. Thank you Jillzilla for the sample! Smells very clean, fruity, woody and floral all at the same time! I could bathe in the stuff it is so good!!!!!

love it much,had finish 2 bottles of this and keep buying it last month..perfect for anytime. fresh,sweet,creamy and modern.. i always got many compliment when i wear this. lasting power is pretty good on me.

THis is more of a FRuity woodsy.It opens with the sweetness of fruit then changes very shortly in a nice floral.I swear I can smell ROSE OF SHARON or ALTHEIA bushes with the rose.I feel like a bee who wants to crawl down inside and lick up the nectar.The best part is the velvet woody drydown.It retains just enough fruit and floral to make for an intersting woody finale.I really love this in all kinds of weather.It is ESSENTIAL to own!

I tried it in colder weather and it was green, cold and slightly bitter on me, like carrot tops or mango skins. Now, in the 90F heat, it is warmer and I feel woodsy notes. But I don`t know if I like this transformation. I probably will reserve my lovely decant for winter,warmth make it simple.

I can't believe all the rave reviews of this perfume! I'd been toying with the idea of ordering a bottle of Essential "blind" over the internet and decided to take a chance and do it a few days ago. I had very high hopes that this perfume would be lovely and that I'd fall in love with it.

Sadly, that wasn't to be! I think that Essential is disappointingly bland, watery and it has no staying power whatsoever and virtually evaporated after a couple of hours, despite it being an EDP. It's also a very linear perfume which doesn't evolve at all so I would find it quite boring anyway.

I'm returning my bottle of Essential and getting a refund!

I found this one by chance while waching for sth else in my favorite store,tested it and bought it rightaway.Yes its easy to love,easy to wear and the price is so encouraging.Very light and fresh,smells so wellblended but dry down is surly musky and woodsy.Siuts evry day,any time.longlasting isnt very good but the bottle is easy to carry as well.you wont regret it at all.

I bought this perfume last saturday unsniffed it before. For me,it is a nice citrusy fragrance,I smell bergamot,more fresh than sweet,and couldn´t find rose or violet but find sandalwood and vetiver at last.

I bought this unsniffed a few months ago, in the dead of winter, because I was looking for a "fresh" fragrance. What I didn't realize was...what some people described as fresh, I actually experienced as crisp or citrusy.

In fact, the top notes were overly crisp for the cold weather, and they took the joy out of the fragrance for me. I experienced mostly bergamot, currant, peony and freesia. My nose couldn't find rose, or any of the base notes.

I have held onto the fragrance in the hopes that warmer weather would bring a favorable change to how I experienced the fragrance, and it has! This week has been sunny and in the 70's where I live, and the top notes now come across in a crisp, energizing way reminiscent of "grapefruit". This passes fairly quickly and I can sense all of the heart notes. The peony, freesia, and violet keep the fragrance a bit sharp on me, while the base notes add a very subtle undertone of creaminess to the fragrance, without being woody or sweet.

It's a very feminine, classy fragrance, and it seems to last forever. While I think it's a nice scent, my chemistry doesn't make the most of it. On me, the top and heart notes dominate, and I'd personally prefer a much woodier base to help balance those notes.

I recommend it for those who want something feminine, but understated. Seems to be a very good quality scent, too.

Bought Essential untested after reading the reviews here, on my eternal quest for the perfect floral woody musk. Have used it for a few days now and find it absolutely delightful. Not really longlasting but so very pleasant, more fresh than sweet. Very easy to wear and approved for office use by co-worker. Don't think my little bottle will last until summer but unlike many other floral woody musks, I'd like to try Essential also in warmer weather.

I've sampled this several days ago and kept on coming back and sniffing it from the sample.
My first impression of this perfume is, it's easy to like.
It starts with a kinda of femine and refereshing flowery scent, with a hint of sweetness(not the sugary type :-)). after about 10 minutes, I got a lot of sweet rose, something like the Lancome Poeme's powdery way of sweetness(but not like Poem, it's only a little bit heady? not bad).

However, the only vice is, after 10 minutes, til the dry down, there is a kind of creamy/milk-like note goes along with all the other floral notes.The milky notes...It's hard to describe, well, just imaging it's a summer morning, when everything's kinda cool and fresh,you get a 2L skim milk from the fridge, and poured it into a glass, inhale the cold and fresh milk at that moment.
It could be lovely, however, I guess I'm too picky, I just can't help but feel the milky note ruins the perfume as it appeares to me really really synthetic, and I got a minor headach from that.However, there's nothing like milk in the perfume. Maybe it's my chemistry.
PS: At some point, it does remaind me of Jean Paul Gaultier's Ma Dame, fresh in a similar way.(I'm not a fan of Ma Dame either)

Anyways, about Essential by Angel Schelesser, if you are picky,and prefer heavier/darker floral woody musk instead of fresher floral woody musk,try(hopefully more than twice) before you buy. :-)

Essential is such a clear, soft, fresh, feminine and light fragrance, in a few words, i just love it :) Many thanks to SandraS, without her i never had the chance to test it. I really need to buy a bottle of it this year. I also think it suits the best in spring or summer, but fall wouldnt be wrong too. Its really hard to decribe the scent well, for me its a bit fruity because of the red currant and mostly light flowery and woody. Definitively worth a try!!

This is about the MASCULINE version (which is missing on the website):
It's nice. Really similar to Ferrari Black, in my opinion, but Essential is sweeter...

nice nice nice nice nice perfume

I was given a sample of this lovely perfume. It is a warm and sensual scent. Fruity to start with, some soft rose and then this lovley warmth at the base.

I own three male fragrances by Angel Schlesser but they are missing in the site. They are all really nice and well done. Highly recommended.

This is a lovely scent. On my skin its stays very subdue and fresh. Perfect for spring and summer it has a special note that draws me to it and i cannot identify it. This mistery must be one of the reasons why I am so drawn to it. I would swear I detect some peper in it which is a great combination with the bergamot and peony. I get the sandalwood and vetiver but no musk.

I find it very original and a great find since its not too well known.

I just find it inibriating and fresh and sparkling green. My choice of scent for this summer thanks to a very generous fragrantica member!

This smells very rich and creamy on, kind of like it has depth to it. Kind of initimate, but could also pull it off in the office I think. I get a more floral scent throughout which combines nicely with the sandalwood and musk.

I wonder.. Is it a safe fragrance to buy without smelling? I like the composition, but have nowhere to try it. And I found a great deal which is tempting. Help please!

Perfect, Stylish, Intimate, very special. Lonf trail of scent... Enjoy IT!

OOO it Is WONDERFUL, goes for style, everyone ABSOULTELY loves it who smells it!!!
