Victoria’s Secret Dream Angels Heavenly Gift Box With Angel Mist and Body Lotion

Who doesn’t like Victoria’s Secret? Who doesn’t like receiving gifts from Victoria’s Secret? Especially when they come packaged in a gorgeous, glittery golden box! That is what I received in November but somehow it just got stashed away in the depths of my wardrobe only to emerge recently when I was searching for something else. So, here is the Victoria’s Secret Dream Angels Heavenly Gift Box….

Did you see how beautiful the hexagonal box is? With alternating panels of shimmering gold and “Give Me Victoria’s Secret” written in gold on top, who would want to throw away the box?

The Gift Box contains a 75ml bottle of Angel Mist, or Brume Des Anges in French and a 100ml tube of Angel Touch Lotion or Lotion Baiser D’Ange in French which literally means an Angel’s Kiss! Doesn’t the same product sound so much more beautiful when the name is in Francais?

Here’s the description of the Dream Angels Heavenly fragrance from the Victoria’s Secret website:

Live the dream, love the romance: Be forever glowing in Dream Angels Heavenly. Luminous and warm, this eau de parfum is a sensual blend of white musk, sandalwood, vanilla and white peony. Spray on for mesmerizing scent that lasts.

•  Fragrance type: Warm
•  Notes: White musk, sandalwood, vanilla and white peony

The description of this fragrance states that it is “Luminous and Warm” and it is a blend of white musk, sandalwood and vanilla so I had thought it would be a woody, musky, sensuous fragrance. Surprisingly, the fragrance actually smells more like a powdery floral. Unfortunately, my nose can’t detect even the slightest hint of musk nor vanilla. Personally, I love musky fragrances with fruity or aquatic blends like this VS Very Sexy reviewed here. Dream Angels Heavenly isn’t really my kind of fragrance but I can wear it as a day fragrance.

Also, since it is a fragrance mist, it doesn’t have much sillage but it’s lasting power on my skin is commendable, 5-6 hours when worn on its own and almost the whole day when layered over the body lotion.

The body mist comes in a transparent, curvy bottle with a transparent cap and silver lettering. The EDP bottle of this fragrance is of glass but the body mist bottle is made of plastic. It doesn’t look like plastic though, and you realise that it isn’t glass only when you hold it in your hands.
The body lotion comes in a white tube with a fliptop cap, again with silver lettering.

Fragrance is a very personal choice so there will surely be loads of people who loved this fragrance. I am not among those unfortunately and while I loved the packaging, I wish the fragrance would have been the kind that appealed to my nose more :p
