Wish (for women)

Malibu

I really tried to love WISH; it contains so many of my favourite scent notes. Plus, I love how it applies bitter, and then dries down to a sweet, creamy vanilla/caramel scent. I do love the contract between the top & base notes.


However, I had to give in; WISH is just too strong for me to wear. The notes of patchouli are especially overwhelming; it hits you straight in the face & hides the other notes for a good hour or so.
Being so strong you have to take into consideration your co-workers. It is a scent that causes migraines & sneezing so they might not thank you for wearing it!!


The bottle is stunning & the staying power is excellent. There are just so many sense-friendly alternatives available nowadays, there’s simply no need for me to make myself ill over a perfume.


* WISH is very similar to Angel. You've been warned.

I was aware that Wish had some similarities to Angel by Thierry Mugler prior to testing, yet I wasn't quite prepared for how similar they actually are.

When I first applied Wish to my wrist it seriously messed with my head. I had to keep reminding myself that it was Wish that I was smelling and not Angel.

Once you get past the initial ten minutes, Wish starts to show some signs of individuality. The heart of this scent is much softer and sweeter than Angel, and dare I say, more enjoyable. It has a slight powdery softness with hints of fruit, (possibly the strawberry note). Very feminine and sweet.

Just when I started admiring this scent, the vanilla, patchouli and caramel notes emerged reminding me of another fragrance, Miss Dior Cherie, only a lighter version of that scent.

The lack of originality started to turn me off this fragrance very quickly. It's almost like Chopard has tried to create a scent that feeds off the success of both Angel and Miss Dior Cherie.

I'd say for lovers of both of those scents I mentioned above, purchase Wish because that way you'll get two fragrances in one. However, for fragrance lovers looking for something that little bit different, try looking somewhere else.

I buy this one mainly because of the beautiful bottle,and the real one is nicer than the picture.

when I test this perfume I feel the sweet scent similar to M by Mariah Carey. but wish is stronger and sweeter. it will stay with you for long hours.

not expensive at all.this is good to be a gift for your lover

sweet and sweet!but not like the sweetness of angel,it's a very girlish sweetness and f course more takeable.
it starts with sweet notes of caramel.I can recognize some sweet fruits like black currant or coconut.it's a real oriental vanilla.but to be honest,personally I prefer perfumes with some hints of citrus,but this one has the character and in it's character citrus or orange don't exist.
the heart of perfume is still floral and sweet.my nose is looking for some fruity notes,but there isn't any.it's like a honey milk mixed with coconut and caramel.very delicious and strong cocktail for a cold winter day.
it reminds me paradox by jaccamo too.but paradoz is more into honey scent,while this one is more into caramel.
unfortunately the long lasting power is not that strong that you would expect from such a sweet perfume.

such a lovely fragrance!! brings me good mood and i feel sexy wearing it. i don t think this scent it s just sweet and warm,it s much more than this,it s a very complex fragrance with depth and character.i agree that it starts a bit agressive ,could be compared to gourmand scents,but the dry down it s a dream,really nice sexy and sweet as i like.has a very good staying power and of course the bottle is lovely,looks just like in the pics,i keep it together with my cosmetics so i won t drop it on the floor to spoil such a beauty.being a strong scent i ll use it for nights when i go out.i don t see any resemblance with baby wipes. on the other hand i could compare it with angel but only in the first 30 seconds,then it completely changes in something much more different and nicer.personally i prefer wish instead of angel coz it s not so agressive and people usually like it....and of course the price for wish is affordable.

Sweet vanilla scent. Though i like it, it seems like it's missing something catchy that whould make it stand out. (Not that each fragrance has to stand out, it just has so many wow-like reviews, that i was expecting something really remarkable about it)

It was compared to Lolita in some reviews here - i don't see it. And even if i'd have to compare them, Lolita's got a lot of character in it, Wish is just pleasantly sweet and warm.

As for Wish vs Angel - i have now both of them on my wrists, and wow - the difference is huge! I will put it this way - if you take Angel, mix it with water in proportion 25% fragrance-75% water - now it will probably resemble Wish a bit.

To sum up - in my opinion Wish is not a signature fragrance (like Angel or Lolita). Pleasant, sweet, easy to wear scent.

Elumina

One of my all-time favorite fragrance. The bottle is lovely, this little inconspicuous diamond with the innocent baby-blue water. And the parfume itself smells gorgeous. "Wish" is very sweet (but not sugary-sweet, the different sweet components makes a good balance) milky, elegant and warm. I dont smell any specific notes out there, only maybe the coconut, vanilla and caramel, but its really unique.
I like to wear it on special occasions or in winter, because it gives much protection and confidence. For me its near to be a good Gourmand but its still a perfect Oriental-Vanilla. A must try for everyone who likes sweet and sensual fragrances.

Not a fan of the opening notes, kinda harsh for me, but after a while it smells wonderful, very powdery and sweet on me, there's is something fairylike about it. Anyway it doesn't smell that good on my mum, so it definitely needs the right chemistry. And the bottle, I love it! If you remember the movie "Death Becomes Her" the bottle reminds me of the elixir they used in the movie, but shorter.

Tanya80

That´s weird. I love this perfume, its like a collection of all notes that I love in a perfume, but couldn´t bring myself to buy this one...It´s so yammmy you want to eat it:)And it´s not expensive at all. Or is it too sweet? I don´t know. Maybe someone can help me with my doubts?

Chaosnmotion

It's so funny I went through and read all the reviews and I love vanilla, sweet gouramand scents so I decided to add Wish to my collection. I got it yesterday and sprayed it own and I wanted to love this but I just can't... I smell the vanilla,the caramel.. the sweet I get... once it started the drydown I picked up the patchouli... and then it changed into what I can only describe as a babywipe's smell... and I see where it was mentioned in another review and I have to agree. It totally does not work with my chemistry though I love the smell of the fragrance. Very disappointed that I can't wear this as it is very different from most of my other fragrances and the bottle is gorgeous.

likaanitia

the first spray is annoying, make me nausea and headache, but after 5 seconds go, it's really nice and sweet, the real gourmand should have this ono XOXO

Anji78

A sweet, rich, evening scent. Very nice for the winter. It reminds me of TM Angel.

midnight

i remeber this fragrance from time i was a teenager.I had miniature then.I liked it very much.Today i got 30ml ofthis sweet diamond:)Im very glad i have it.It's very sweet, sensual, evening time and elegant fragrance.

Lorilavira

This fragrance is one of the best.I think im addicted to this smell.The bottle is very cute, clear and fine.I cant understand why the most people say it smells like angel?!
Maybe the bottles are similar but the smells are different.
Wish is sweet,warm you very smell the gourmand notes and the woody notes.
For me its like a big purple cloud full of warmth and sweetness...i always feel secure when i wear it :)

sjanira

This perfume smells so wonderful it just hypnotizes me everytime I wear it. I do smell the similarity with Angel but this one is 100 times better. I personally don't like Angel because it's just to harsh and strong. This ones easier to wear and more mellow. It's not so sharp and in your face like Angel is.

pumpkinqueen

I feel this is a more subtle.. less tacky version on Angel.

This is warm and sweet but doesnt annoy. It is not the same pungent smell as Angle though.. its very unique. I wore it every day from the age of 13-16 and now i may purchase it for old times sake.

Bottle is so lovely too!!

tessture

Perfumey and bright, drying down to super sweet vanilla with a the smallest touch of patchouli. Actually quite lovely, if unspectacular. I find this nothing at all like Mugler's Angel, which is loud, brash and overpowering, with body odor notes. Wish is much sweeter, more floral and less intrusive.

Tarida

Sweet, sugary and delicious. If you like Angel and Lolita Lempicka you will love this fragrance.

Malegria

I have to reapply it quite often to enjoy the lovely beginning of Wish again and again.Later it starts to have a slightly plastic, unnatural smell.It would have been totally fine with me, say - 10 years ago, but now I want something not so "plasticized".

Leukothea

Wish a sugary, warm fragrance, i believe it could be inspired by Angel, however not copied. Angel lovers will notice the pretty obvious long lasting sharpness of Angel and the mere sweetness of Wish. Those 2 perfumes are 2 different stories. Wish is on my wish list ;)

BlackAmberMoon

Enjoy the opening notes, but this dries down much too powdery for my tastes. As far as the Angel comparison, there are some similarities, but Wish is much easier to wear. Angel makes me nauseous. Sicily's review is spot-on!

mihaelasusan

I DID NOT LIKE ANGEL ,IT IS TOO HARSH ON ME BUT WISH IS EXCELLENT,SPECIALY IN WINTER!!!VERY RAFINED FRAGRANCE!!!

indigo.smile

I don't like vanilla..But there's room for exception. This perfume makes me curious. I think i'm gonna test it bit

scenthound

I actually prefer this to Angel since the drydown is softer on me. It's more delicate than Angel, which can come off as too masculine.

LuckysGirl

In the beginning it smelled remarkably like Angel. However, later it has it's own sweeter smell to it. I don't smell baby wipes. Of course, I don't hang around with too many babies.

Marianne

I don't like anything that's similar to Angel and this one definitely is - it smells like perfumed plastic.

Sicily

I don't find it (that much) similar to Angel. They are both very sweet, and they both have that smoky effect, but Wish is much easier to wear, it is lighter and has less patchouli. At the dry-down, Wish is fruity-sweet, Angel is musky, dark and more remarkable. Wish is sweet, rich, woody scent in fantastic bottle, and I also think that Wish is much more Lolita-like than Angel.

Aeternitas

This is a beautiful. elegant fragrance, and very much like Thierry Mugler's fragrance Angel, as mentioned by elgab89. It's a warm, sensual night time or special occasion fragrance. A bit sweet, too. I love it!

elgab89

If you are a fan of Angel, this is the lower cost version ... Very Angel like fragrance, very nice and warm ( Vanilla says it all).
