Similar to Victoria's Secret Heavenly + Montblanc Signature
This is a VERY close dupe for Heavenly (2013) Eau de Parfum (not Dream Angels Heavenly i.e. the OG Heavenly formula), for *part* of the fragrance - but there are some differences.
- opening feels identical to VS Heavenly (it's uncanny how they are so close to each other - I don't know how they mimicked it so perfectly)
- middle seems to have a slight hint of "soft marshmallow" (imagine the DNA of Heavenly, but take away a little of the musk and add a dash of soft marshmallow instead - like the marshmallow feel in Signature Eau de Parfum )
- dry-down has a subtle but distinctive green/earthy note, and smells a bit like fresh grass (Heavenly doesn't have any greenery)
Overall this was very pleasant for me for most of the fragrance, but the greenery in dry down killed it for me. If you love Heavenly but it was too musky for you, or you prefer a bit of added greenery, you might enjoy this.
P.S. See my review for VS Heavenly for a breakdown of notes (to see what this one mimics, in addition to the differences).
