Angel Schlesser Oriental Edition II Angel Schlesser for women

Apologies in advance to lovers of this fragrance!!
I bought the 100 ml bottle, a blind buy.I was positive I would really like it,,, I hate to be the bad guy but it was really not for me ( and that is being polite ), I wanted to scrub it straight away but was determined to see it through the stages.
But there were no stages,eight hours on, I found it utterly linear, which another reviewer stated.
Obviously this is just my taste and my nose, but here is why,,,I am not a fan of Sandalwood, it has to be very well blended,disguised almost, or it just smells to me ,,well, of Curry to be blunt if it is done badly !!.Rose is another note than can go either way with me, it can be beautiful and mesmerizing when fused with wonderful notes, but the wrong Rose can get that old lady effect quicker than any other, especially with the musk that this contains.Obviously if these notes are your favorites you may be interested in this
But, for me it was a horrific collision-Sandalwood,Rose and Musk.
That is all I get.Praline?! I wish..anything, I wished,,,but no, just these three.
It does not smell niche to me, it smells the opposite,
any basic Rose Sandalwood and musk oils dropped in together at home would find this result. Apologies to all the fans, but i want to be honest.

Well, it's my first review here, so, i'm a little bit nervous... ;>
OK, i decided to start with Oriental Edition II, because lately i have some problem with fragrances - there's almost none which can make me impressed. Oriental Edition did it, i'm really happy and thankful ;>
What i adore in this fragrance is perfect balance between deep, dark rose, sweet, almost gourmand notes and bold patchouli. Besides i can smell saffron note, it's really prominent on my skin.
Second thing - i'm confused, because there's no aoud note in this fragrance, but i'm definitely sure i can smell it, especially in the beginning. I don't like aoud note too much, that's why the beginning is a little bit hard to stand for me, but the evolution of OE II is worthy of little pain ;>
So, strong aoud note, light rose and jasmine - that's the beginning.
Next phase - prominent rose note. I really love it. It's dark, deep, elegant, maybe i should write - serious? Besides, there's a lot of saffron in this phase, and i can still smell aoud, but just a little bit, it's almost pleasant ;>
The base is magical. Sweet praline note is perfectly blended with noble cedar's shade, mystical patchouli and little bit of brisk vetiver. I can't believe that the balance between sweet and patchouli-woody notes can be so perfect.
That's why Oriental Edition II is one of my favorite perfumes ;>

This is one of the most complicated perfume i've ever smelled. It opens very medicinal and smells like waiting room at the dentist. After this phase is gone something watery with green rose starts, this part is even worst for me than the first one. Here i started to cave for this gorgeous praline but still nothing. Then rose goes in the background and a bit masculine vanilla-cedar combination comes. And then...finally praline and sweet accords i've been waiting for. This took almost 3 hours for the sweetness to come and rose to disappear. At this point i get only slightly present candied rose. At the dry down it reminds me pralines with rose filling. I was very sceptic about this one couple of hours ago but now i've change my mind i really like it.
Thanks to generous fragrantica friend i had a chance to try this strange chameleon scent.

This one is quite complicated.
It's like a Chameleon on me...
In the opening I get mostly patchouli & dark chocolate garnished with a velvety red rose... after a few minutes it blossoms into just a deep red rose scent... after another few minutes the patchouli kicks back in again. It goes like this for about an hour or so after which it seems to settle down like a bouquet of deep red velvety roses floating on a river of melted pralines...
I love it!

If you like La Perla - J'aime la Nuit, you will most likely also like this one!

Oh, just... FANTASTIC!
I like it very much! It's a very dark, mysterious and complex scent, it is unisex but smells very charming and sofisticated on a woman!
The initial blast is very 'dark' and quite masculine, but very quickly a dusty, velvety, thick and powdery red rose comes on the surface. Lasting power is very good.
It's not a 'sweet' scent and I m not able to smell clearly any sweet notes but I smell woody notes and saffron for sure.
This is how I imagine an unusual, expensive niche perfume to be.

just like loveperfumes said it smell like a expensive unisex niche, i never even look at womens perfume my friend owen a fragnance shop and he told me hey smell this i started sniffing and snifing he knows that i dont buy womens perfume after i payed him he told me by the way its a womens perfume but it smells unisex lol, but hey im inlove with it, and the longevity on my skin is 14 to 24 hrs this amazing because most colognes on my skin are maximum 8 hrs, i recommend guys to try this because it is very unisex and very mature, i havnt got any compliment on it yet but im sure i will in the future

I expected much more after having read all the positive reviews on the net but, unfortunately, Oriental Edition II missed my expectations. Dark sweet rose is all I can smell on my skin. Most reviews say it could be regarded as a unisex frag but I cannot imagine a man wearing this. I wish my nose could detect the saffron but alas, woody, earthy rose is all I get. Perhaps it would smell nice in cold weather but for me it's too linear plus the staying power is just average. I'm a big fan of oriental-floral perfumes but this one is definitely not a keeper.

It is dangerously intoxicating ! Feels like you cannot get enough of it but your whole self is pleading for more! Unexpected treasure..

Wow! This is a dark and mysterious fragrance. This is almost unisex and the praline note, thankfully isn't too much or too sweet. I can smell the carnation slightly humming in the background and that very dark base, which has strong similarities to a Caron fragrance. Yes, take vintage Magie Noire and mix in a smidge of Bellodgia and you would get this. Quite a surprising concept for a modern frag! I think this will be on heavy rotation this winter. Love it.

Wow! Such a pleasant discovery under the brand I never expected to find anything like that. A dark, mysterious, passionate and sensual a bit sweet oriental. Really pleasantly balanced. To let you imagine what it smells like I would say that there is some light echo of Secret Obsession (which I don't like) - but with a very right twist, and, much more than that, it is a reflection of modern patchouli tendencies (which I do like), one could trace in lots of niche like Tom Ford's.
Now I can understand the review on the scent, I've read on another site: a very worthy scent at quite an affordable price. I confirm: it does smell like an expensive niche on the unisex side, being really pleasant: I've got a few positive responses today while wearing it.
Four stars out of five.
