Don't get me wrong; I love Angel for all those reasons and have come to appreciate how a teensy-tiny bit of application from afar (or, better yet, using the gorgeous body products) can enhance my neuron pleasure responses. But Innocent is just easier to wear every day, easier to wear during the warmer weather, and, still with a light hand application, easier to feel less conspicuous wearing it.
The scent itself is a succulent mix of Jordan almonds, egg-whites meringues and praline, floating around an intensely sweet & tart note of blackcurrant, like blackcurrant jam but without the stickiness. Instead the feeling is one of copious amounts of musk underpinning the composition into a cloud-like, duvet feel of goose feathers falling softly on nude skin.
It's a sensual perfume, no doubt because its original skeleton is one that puts lots of flesh over the handsome bones, but it's a benevolent sensual and with the eerie melancholy of a beautiful anime boy with blue eyes and dark hair...
Oh my gosh I want this one so much-- you have no idea! And it was you writing about it that did it!!!

Hi Jean! It's especially nice and very wearable, more wearable than regular Angel (from Mugler do try if you haven't the Alien Essence Absolue, another smashing success from the brand, incredible perfume).
DeleteI love Innocent and so bemoan its discontinuation. The "cloud-like, duvet feel of goose feathers falling softly on nude skin" is spot-on!
