The review
Angel scores 6.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Angel.
The Essence Vault 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 $32 per 100ml it costs 76% less than Angel — the 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 The Essence Vault 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
Mugler Angel is cotton candy, bergamot and melon at first, honey, red berries and plum at its heart and patchouli, chocolate and caramel at the end. The Essence Vault set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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.
