Worth a try

The review

Worth a try. That is where Los Angeles lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Angel.

Noted Aromas sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Angel's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $33 per 100ml it costs 75% less than Angel — the 4th cheapest of 8 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Noted Aromas publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: cotton candy, bergamot and melon up top, honey, red berries and plum in the middle, patchouli, chocolate and caramel underneath — the shape of Mugler Angel.

Top

  • cotton candy
  • bergamot
  • melon

Heart

  • honey
  • red berries
  • plum

Base

  • patchouli
  • chocolate
  • caramel
Cotton candy crashed into raw patchouli and rewrote perfumery; still the most divisive icon on any shelf.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 10 twins of Mugler Angel we can price, Los Angeles is number 4 on price per 100ml.
