Starts as a lovely french vanilla, but kinda does the candle thing about halfway to dry down, where it becomes a powdery vanilla that smells less like perfume and more like cheap candle fragrance oil ...Read more

I can see the comparison to Etro Heliotrope – they’re the most high sweet vanilla /almond / marzipan fragrances I’ve ever smelled, so for lovers of this fragrance family I recommend Lady Evangeline hi...Read more

I was sent a sample of this, and couldn't wait to receive it. Built it up in my mind, after reading some of the good reviews. It isn't bad & it isn't good. To me, nothing exciting. It isn't half as go...Read more

Lady Evangeline is a languorous and cozy doughy vanilla almond scent with much better staying power than its high-end counterparts. It's sweet and ethereal, much like its namesake. It's never overpowe...Read more

The opening is like Serge Lutens Rahat Loukoum; Very high sweet -- sugar -vanilla- cherry cough drop. Then it dries down to what I would call undetectable sweet, highly odiferous 'perfume' -- not wha...Read more

Ok, so I used to read about what perfume women used to wear to bed and I thought they were crazy. Body lotion, definitly. Even body spray but fragrance, nah. Until I discovered this. To me, this is ex...Read more

Oh, how pretty is Lady Evangeline? I love that it's a resurrected formula; I love that it's packaged in the most feminine, tasselled bottle; I love that it's sold by possibly the nicest woman with who...Read more

Doh! (Or should I say, "Dough!") I'm such a marzipan freak I went off and purchased a bottle of Etro Heliotrope before my order of this arrived. But honestly? Lady Evangeline is the best dupe of Etro ...Read more

GlamDiva said it well. This is marzipan, sweet sugared almonds and vanilla. I get the slightest hint of cherry; not nearly as much as I’d like. Long lasting and very well priced, but it’s not even ...Read more

Lady Evangeline is a full, soft, sweet vanilla and almond scent, more vanilla than almond on my skin. There is just the tiniest hint of cherry in the dry-down, but that's about it so this is a fairly...Read more

This is like dabbing dough behind your ears. It only gets vanilla after 8 hours (it lasted for 11 hours). I actually like the smell, but I wouldn't wear it as perfume.

This is a dead ringer for Etro Helitrope but Lady E last much longer, plus it is half the price. This is a very comforting scent which never fails to evoke many compliments.

This is from the Lagniappe Oaks Heirloom Collection, made up of "original perfume recipes from the late 1800s." I love the idea that I'm smelling an actual retro scent. (I've been reading a bunch of...Read more

It's in the lovely family of almondy scents such as SL Rahat Loukhoum, KM Loukhoum, Montale SOD, but this one lacks all sweetness, or cherry notes. It is flat and too dry. Becomes ultimately dry powde...Read more

While I usually love almond fragrances, the heavy powder note in this killed it for me. It does smell a bit like Rahat Loukoum, but not as complex. It lasts for hours, but sadly, it is the powder note...Read more

This is a pale imitation of SL Rahat Loukhoum, also Etro Heliotrope and Lea, in a way. But a pale imitation of these scents will still smell pretty damn good. The scent is mostly a doughy vanilla with...Read more
