Of course, if a significant other really *dislikes* something, many of us will wait until he/she isn't around to wear the offending fragrance. This is admittedly a generalization but, among the women who post on Basenotes, there seems to be much less of a concern with what other people think (or find sexy) we generally are more interested in whether *we* like a fragrance for ourselves. There may be an individual thread on this topic every now and then, but they tend to die a mercifully quick death. There is NO corresponding sticky thread in either forum in which women are asking which fragrances men like to smell on women. Something else I've noticed is that a number of the men who post in the Basenotes Men's Forum seem to be much more preoccupied with the question of whether *other* people like a particular fragrance or whether they've been received compliments for a particular fragrance (witness the 87-page sticky thread in the Men's Forum about which fragrances are "female" compliment-getters AND the 11-page sticky thread in the Women's Forum about which fragrances "chicks dig" on men).

But I vastly prefer Robert Piguet Visa and HdP 1804 (George Sand) (two other Angel imitators) to both Angel and Euphoria because Visa and 1804 don't smell (to me) nearly as synthetic as the other two.Īt the end of the day, one's reaction to fragrance is very personal and very subjective. I personally prefer Euphoria to Angel because I don't care at all for the chocolate note in Angel. I get that point of view, but, for me, I like what I like regardless of whether it's a "reference" fragrance or whether it was influenced by something else. Some women just really hate patchouli.Īnd then there are others who may not like it in part *because* it seeks to imitate Angel, because it's merely derivative instead of being original. ![]() You're absolutely right to connect Euphoria with Angel - it's one of the leagues of Angel imitators (and I like Euphoria it started my fragrance journey a few years ago).īut there are lots of women who simply don't care for the heavy combination of fruit and patchouli.
