Angel Gold

The Victoria's Secret Angel Gold Review

When a fragrance achieves the kind of ubiquity that Angel Gold has, cynicism is the easy response. The harder — and more honest — question is: why? What is it about this EDP from Victoria's Secret that has made it a fixture in so many wardrobes across continents? Released in 2015, Angel Gold built its following on Fruity, Citrus, Floral, White Floral, Sweet, and years on, it has not lost a step.

A bright, sparkling fruity-floral that captures runway glamour on a budget.

Angel Gold Notes Breakdown

Angel Gold opens with Bergamot, Pomelo, Orange, Mandarin Orange, Pear and Red Berries — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Gardenia, Tulip, Peony, Water Lily and Jasmine. The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is Musk, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Cedar and Amber.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Fruity, Citrus, Floral, White Floral, Sweet — easy to place and easy to wear.
