Cindy/WI Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 The BEST dupe of Angel anyone know of one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I haven't actually used the FO, just products made with it, but I think Sweetcakes has the best dupe I've smelled. But, it is uber expensive. I have tried ones from Berts, CS, NG and one other place I can't remember off the top of my head. Of those, I though Berts was the closest but it's a very light scent in product. Does pretty good as just a warmer oil. In another thread someone mentioned that Aroma Haven's Interlude is a pretty close if not an exact dupe. Haven't tried that one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthfriendly Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 BCS has an angel that is very good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen M Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Yep BCN/BCS are right on dupes, I made this in candles for a customer who actually wore the perfume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I though Berts was the closest but it's a very light scent in product. Does pretty good as just a warmer oil. To me, in paraffin wax Bert's isn't even close. It's a nice scent and I will happily use up the bottle I have, but it is nowhere near as deep and rich as 'Angel'. Like ProudMarineMom said, it is much softer and I don't get the same individual notes from it. It would be fine renamed to something else, though.

Maggie Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I used to buy Angel from Sweetcakes. They came out with a reduced cost version when the "real" one started going way up in price. I see now they only have one on their site and it is $66.00 for a lb. I won't swear to it...but I think that IS the reduced one because when I ordered the last time....several years ago...the "real" one was up to like $90./lb. and the reduced was $50./lb. A friend of mine fell in love with Angel and I told her that the prices had gone so high that my candles in this scent would be VERY expensive. She did buy a few until I found another supplier's that she tested for me and said she couldn't tell the difference. It's from AH/RE and it is called Interlude. I just went to their site and it says that once their current supply is exhausted...new oil will raise in price by about 50% since it has patchouli in it.

Candybee Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I use and like CS Angel. My customers love it. I tried a few and like the one from CS the best.Never smelled the perfume as perfumes give me instant headaches so I can't say if it smells like the real thing.

Cindy/WI Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 I did have a 1oz sample from CS and use it with cyclo. Not sure if it's a close dupe b/c I smelled it for the first time the other day. I was checking a lady out and had to ask her what she was wearing she smelled so good. So that's why I was asking here for a dupe of it. I like the one so far from CS but like I said I don't know if it was is a close dupe or not. Can't wait till my order comes from BCN so I have more to make some mp soap & lotion with it!! Thanks all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezin Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I use NG's Angelica instead of NG's Angel. I have the real stuff in perfume form. I think the Angelica smells more like it and it is a bit stronger. Every nose is different. Even with the real stuff. I bought it based on smelling someone that had it on. I think it smells better on her then me. But, I still love it - my daughter hates it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to tell Amy the patch shortage is over, and it's clove that's in shortage now. Yes, a good Patch is expensive, but her price shouldn't double now that it's readily available. She's trying to continue riding a horse that's been put up for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definately doesn't work with everyone's body chemestry. It's awesome with mine, but some people get sour notes when they wear it. I have a theory that it wears best on BO prone people, but I haven't exactly tested it. I just happen to fall in that category and have noticed a few others that it smells awesome on are the same. Of course the fact that my skin loves vanilla probobly doesn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
