    One of two LMDV scents that I was considering (the other being Madagascar--bought Antilles first). A very dear friend of mine (and a MUA member) hates this with a blind passion. This, in itself,...

    I like this fragrance, but I'd have to be in the right mood for it. I don't really smell anything but vanilla and patchouli and mostly patchouli. It's not dirty hippy patchouli though, it's nice...

    At first whiff from the tester, it smelled very much like Angel so I wasn't really looking forward to trying it. I tried to like Angel based on the chocolate/cotton candy/caramel description but it...

    My favorite LMDLV. I love Angel and this is another "smells like Angel" fragrance. When I first apply this I smell a lot of fruit in the top notes, which I really enjoy. The drydown is like all...

    My favorite LMDV scent! Indeed, I'm one of those who love Angel, Prada, Wish, and so forth so no wonder I love Antilles! I get a warm vanilla/chocolate note in the drydown, dare I say I like...

    Probably the most distinct of the line but also my least favorite as I really dislike patchouli. But if you like Prada, Angel et al this one is for you! The cloying patchouli is tempered by the...

    All I smell is patchouli, which I hate. No vanilla at all, just patchouli. I wouldn't purchase this.

    La Maison describes Antilles as "Oriental, flowery, and very slightly spicy, subtle and refined like a fragile pearl, a hint of mystery, a longed-for moment..." I originally received this as a...

    Totally agree with Shadow Witch (hi, Grace!). Don't know why this fragrance is so underrated when there are so many Angel fanatics out there. As everyone says, this is a more wearable Angel at a...

    My husband said this smells like custard--not vanilla and patchouli, but egg custard. And he would know, because he's both a baker and a dedicated patchouli wearer. So of course, wearing it just...

    Wow, this really does smell like Angel, not exactly, but pretty close, and I actually like this fragrance (Angel just did not work out for me). This scent is missing the bite of Angel. Also it's...

    This is Angel without the bite, which for days when you just want to smell good without holding a press conference ("What are you wearing", "What is that?" etc.)- it's a great alternative. It's...

    My MIL asked if I was wearing Angel when I over-applied on my way to dinner at her house. I agree that it smells quite a bit like Angel, but I prefer this.<br> Less bite to the patchouli, more...

    Antilles smells wonderful. I will agree with most MUAers who stated that this smells a lot like Thierry Mugler's Angel. Only Angel is much more dramatic, not quite as sweet, and a helluva lot more...

    I was disappointed with most of the sampler pack because everything dried down to a one dimesional musty patchouli on me. I smelled a bit more floral in the one but it vanished soon after drydown....

    I immediately noticed a similarity to Angel when I tried this, but I actually think it smells better. Antilles is not quite as strong as Angel, but it is a little stronger than many of the other...
