By the editors · 2 min readThe 2012 Angel Gold opens with a trio of fruit and citrus: pear contributes a soft sweetness, orange adds brightness, bergamot grounds both with light aromatic lift. The floral heart layers gardenia's creamy richness over jasmine's depth and peony's lighter, watery quality — a composed white-floral arrangement that reads polished without becoming heavy. Sandalwood and cedar anchor the base with warm woody structure while vanilla and amber add a gourmand warmth that stops short of excessive sweetness. This is the fuller, more complex predecessor to the simpler 2015 Angel Gold. The result is a complete, accessible feminine oriental — aspirational without pretension, strong enough to project through a work day.
