Truly ethereal. Cozy and comforting. Perfect to wear to bed. Makes me feel like I’m surrounded by (comfy) clouds. This one makes me sleepy (in a good way!) On my skin I get white musk warmed by the sandalwood, it’s long-lasting with moderate projection on me (for reference, my skin tends to eat up perfume). Love it, it’s my favorite from Victoria’s Secret. This one is timeless.

I like this on my lady

I enjoy the previous Dream Angels Heavenly EDP MUCH BETTER than this one. It turned into the most powdery “soapy” fragrance on me 🙁
slavkaaa81 – :
Heavenly is comforting and unique, even if not complex. A nice blend of sweet & powdery/soapy. As a previous reviewer mentioned, it’s a “clean vanilla”. This is the kind of fragrance I can wear everyday no matter what season or occasion. Very similar to Dream Angels Heavenly which has been a favorite since high school

I own the body mist.
The initial blast is like a spot on rendition of buttered white bread with sugar on the top.
This gives it an amusing novelty quality as it is something me and my friends used to make and eat as kids.
The sugar is really prominent, I can almost feel the little crystals crunching between my teeth!
After a while though, it does mellow down to a fuzzy, slightly floral musk.
As fun as it is, it’s not exactly what I would want to smell like in public and it’s definitely not something for those that don’t like sweet perfumes. But I do enjoy wearing it at home and before going to bed, as it is quite comforting.
I also enjoy using it for layering 🙂

This is a lovely, lovely scent. It’s so simple and sweet, but still sophisticated. Rather than being in-your-face like so many super-sweet scents these days, this one trails delicately and beckons people closer.
I can smell all the notes- sandalwood, musk, vanilla and light peony- blended perfectly. It fades to a pretty musk after a few hours.
I debated buying this for months, and kept coming back to it whenever I was in the mall. I finally managed to trade a vintage purse for an almost-new bottle!
If you want an easy-going scent for days in a t-shirt and jeans, a pretty sundress, or a cozy sweater, this is the one.
Love it!

Not soapy on me. I may have liked that. Very powdery and vanilla. Not my type of scent.
strejchman – :
I was originally interested in Emporio Armani – Lei and saw that this smells similar so I went to go compare the two at the mall. This is more fresh, not as warm or vanilla-ish and it’s almost more aquatic/SOAPY lol. It starts off stronger than Lei in my opinion because I was able to smell it while I was shopping. I wasn’t sure if I really loved it though as it was turning a little weird. I was scared I was going to get sick from it but the dry down chilled out the scent. Lei is also more musky.
I still can’t choose between these two for the summer but after smelling my sweatshirt and comparing the two dry downs, Heavenly is more of the summer smell good scent that will linger but not become musky.
I guess I will buy Lei next F/W season to add to my NR For Her musky scent. However, if I try Heavenly again and it smells like how it does on my sweater then it will be my new summer fragrance.

This is the signature Heavenly fragrance from Victoria’s Secret. You can’t miss it. It’s in every one of their stores. Not my favorite but definitely a winner. The soft delicate angelic perfume reminds me of angel wings, scented angel wings. It’s totally a good match for the angel wings costume worn by the Victoria’s Secret models. I modeled with them in my early 20’s. I was gifted with a lot of their fragrances and became addicted. This is a mature scent, for sure, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful. It starts off with a soft note of peony, one of the easiest to wear florals. It’s such a delicate flower that one feels it’s like those little dandelions that you see growing everywhere on grassy areas, you hold them and they practically fall apart in your hands or you blow on them and they scatter away. The peony smells very nice and a bit powdery. The vanilla is not a big cream, just as powdery as the peony. The sandalwood and musk at the dry down provides this scent with longevity and warmth. It also begins to smell a tad on the spicy side. It’s a good musk, one of the finest in the VS lines. It’s a bit like the musk in Angels Heavenly but this is much less intense and more on the floral-vanilla powder side. Absolutely beautiful!

my grandma gave me a small bottle of this perfume and i love it its so sophisticated its my perfume for going out
brizg – :
When the original Heavenly launched, I had just started college and was working part-time at VS Beauty for extra cash. I remember pushing that fragrance, and thinking that it was so elegant and sophisticated, and what I would wear as a professional.
I decided to revisit it when it relaunched recently, and purchased this version of Heavenly in the rollerball. On me, it smells soapy, a little sweet, and somewhat musky…kind of generic and almost cheap. As one of the previous reviewers said, it has an Avon Skin So Soft vibe. It’s not necessarily an unpleasant scent, but also not one that I would reach for or that I think goes with my current style.
arnaut – :
When I first tried this perfume I really wasn’t that impressed but after going about a week without any other scent I decided to try it again. Boy let me tell you what a difference it makes to not have your scent overwhelmed by any other perfume.
I have now fallen in love with this perfume for ut is every bit sophisticated and feminine as Bvlgari. In fact its so close to Blv notte pour femme that I no longer grieve its been discontinued.
I have worn this perfume and been complimented by men who do not like heavier or overpowering perfumes on their wives. I also wore it around a friend who swears she cannot stand perfume in general.
I don’t have previous versions to compare it with and I think thats a blessing since people who loved previous versions tend not to be able to separate them from the version it is now.
Personally I recommend this perfume as a day wear for spring, summer and possibly fall. I also recommend it for women who’s partners love to smell you but better.
derdat – :
I just purchased this perfume and I am very disappointed. It is so faint I can hardly smell it with like 4 sprays. Maybe it doesn’t work on my skin. The only scent I pick up slightly is sandalwood, which reminds me of Avon’s Skin So Soft…..Blah!
kimagurena – :
Pretty much musk and vanilla. Really bad wear time on me and no complexity. Disappointed.
Sanek1405 – :
Ah, high school memories! I bought this hoping it would work on me as an adult but sadly no. Instead of sandalwood and vanilla, I only got white musk and peony.
Very nice to give to a teenage cousin or niece, a very feminine musk/peony scent with truly impressive longevity – I could smell it on my wrist 8 (!!) hours after spraying. Sillage is nice too. Can’t knock the quality on this!
It’s pretty, but I have to agree with my husband’s opinion, “It’s nice but too young.” Time to return it…
vln988Negeltzex – :
I totally agree with you, Cherried Empress.
I love original Dream Angels Heavenly and I miss cardamom note in new Heavenly. Heavenly is all about vanilla and musk. So sad that Dream Angels Heavenly is gone along with Dream Angels Divine..
EDIT: I changed my mind as I was wearing Heavenly all last week and I have to say that I love it more and more..
EDIT II: I find new Heavenly more close to Dream Angels Heavenly in white-yellow ombre package with sparkly stars (which I loved so much!) than Dream Angels Heavenly in white package which is a lot muskier (I mean last version named Dream Angels). Very nice!
saivan – :
I have five different bottle types of Heavenly. I have every type of packaging, besides the limited edition round bottle.
The evolution of Heavenly reminds me of that telephone game that some of us played in grade school. One person whispers a sentence into the next person’s ear, which the next person has to repeat to the next. It goes round everyone in the circle. By the time the circle is finished and the last person has been whispered to, what the first person said is completely different from what the last person said.
*Version 1 (Original Formula): white box with a golden curve up the side; lowercase, italic lettering; bottle is hourglass-shaped with an opalescent white heart-shaped cap (my personal guess is that it was supposed to be in the shape of an angel’s wing).
*Version 2 (Original Formula): buttercup yellow and white box with a single star; text is vertical/sideways running up the box; bottle is the same, except the white heart cap has been replaced with a clear cap.
The original formula is very different than what is being sold today.
The first two versions of Heavenly have green top and heart notes, a bit of citrus and ivy are noticeable. They are MUCH more astringent, more soapy, and effervescent. They have so much less vanilla and sweetness. More cardamom.
The beauty of the original 2 bottles lies in the drydown. It’s very hard to describe in words. The drydown is very featherlike, extremely delicate, and beautiful. The original stickers on the bottom of the bottles used to read, “An ethereal gossamer of fragrance”, and that’s exactly what it is. It’s very obvious that this is a fine fragrance with complex, melodious notes crafted by a gifted perfumer. This great drydown unfortunately does not occur with any of the newer Heavenly versions.
*Version 3: yellow ombre/gradient box with the sparkly, iridescent filigree with stars and the uppercase HEAVENLY lettering; bottle now has uppercase lettering.
The third Dream Angels Heavenly in the flamboyant, sparkly box is a lovely hybrid of the original formula and the sweeter, muskier fourth version. It DOES retain the green ivy and mandarin notes. They are apparent, but they are scaled back. There is a satisfying amount of cardamom. I think everything is in very good proportion. #4 version was my favorite, but I think this one took over.
*Version 4: white box with gold trim and a pleated pattern; “heavenly” is lowercase again, but larger text; bottle has matching text.
The fourth version is much sweeter and a little heavier than the original, and has just the right amount of cardamom, vanilla, sandalwood, and musky freshness. The green and citrus notes are basically gone, but if you wear this awhile, you do smell them from time to time. It is the strongest and muskiest of all Heavenly formulations. It’s my favorite along with #3, although the drydown in the original is something of a masterpiece.
*Version 5: VS drops the “Dream Angels” prefix. All other Dream Angels have been discontinued, so the name is now Heavenly; bottle is showcased above.
It’s a reformulation again. It’s more of a flat, vanilla/sandalwood combo with a STRONG alcohol smell for about 15 seconds. That makes me think that it is less concentrated. A lot less white musk, which is sad. Very sweet. No green notes at all. No citrus. This is the most boring version of Heavenly. Just so flat. The sprayer doesn’t emit as much liquid so you have to spray about twice as much. Because it has less musk, it seems a little weaker. When I wear the older Heavenly types, I get whiffs of myself at the end of the day; this one seemed to evaporate on me within a couple of hours. It’s still a likeable scent, but I think they should have not tampered with their best-selling fragrance. A bad move. What comsumers are smelling now is not the fragrance that won a FiFi. It lacks complexity, depth, quality, and longevity of previous versions of Heavenly.
If you’re going on memory and trying it ten or fifteen years down the road, OR you are smelling it for the first time, you might love this new type. But… personally… it’s very disappointing and pretty much ruins the entire reputation of Dream Angels Heavenly.
VS is my favorite brand, and what they are doing regarding the quality of their products is abhorrent to me. It’s very obvious to me and others that they are on a steep downhill slope. I sold the newest version. It was just disappointing. I didn’t even want to wear it after a few times. The alcohol smell was just a reminder that Heavenly EDP is only a shell of its former self.
I guess everything changes at some point, but don’t think for one second that this is the same fragrance that won an award in 1999, because it is absolutely not.
vildiko – :
The newest variations of Heavenly smell almost identical to each other with a slight edge up on powdery vanilla in one and peony in the other. I think out of all of them this one is the sweetest.
If you are wanting to compare them to the original version then yes, they are different. The original has a distinct cardamom note along with ivy and other florals that sets it apart from the generic cashmere vanilla type fragrances giving it complexity that’s lacking in the newer formulations. That version won it the Fifa award. Unfortunately, it’s been reformulated.
Red.z – :
I got a sample of this months ago at VS and read the card, thinking “What the heck is ‘white musk’?” I sprayed some on my wrist and ended up really liking it!
I get less of the sandalwood on me. It’s there initially, but it fades into the background quickly. I end up with a nice white floral, vanilla fragrance. The vanilla reigns in the white peony and sandalwood somewhat and smooths out what could be harsh scent.
igor640722 – :
This is.so.perfect. Oh my god, this scent is just like it’s name. So HEAVENLY! I smelled this in store and the day after that I rushed to the store to spray this again. Hehe. It smells so classic, beautiful,elegant..I can say that this perfume is not for everyday use, but for special events, like parties, date, or something like that. Smells so warm and pretty, also smells expensive. (just like it’s price!) haha
yavsehporvu2010 – :
I tested this fragrance at Victorias Secret today & at first it was just ok. But then I waited like 10 seconds & I fell in love! This is better than PINK! It’s so clean smelling like shampoo. It smells like sandalwood & a mix of a lot of other clean smells. I love the bottle too, it’s classy looking & not ugly & tacky like a lot of VS bottles of their newest fragrances particularly Eau So Sexy. I’m planning on getting this for either spring or summer, idk which it would be better for. Overall this is a 10/10!! 🙂
Zekimilmgeami – :
I am completely in love with this new version 2014 Heavenly perfume & bath & body products!!!! I feel it is the very best VS fragrance 🙂 This lasts really well, it’s really beautiful. I love all of the products this scent offers, the eau de parfum, rollerball, lotion, mist, angel wash & gift sets!!! I cannot be without it, this smell is addicting & i love to use daytime & at bedtime because it is a very comforting scent. My husband rated it 10/10!! Thanks VS for choosing these perfect notes for the perfume, i can’t wait for the annual sale i will be stocking up on gift sets in this scent. I absolutely love it!!!
Pashok-naumov1993 – :
I have the old one and I just got the new one.
It’s just the same! The old lasts forever though but the new one lasts as well. The only thing that’s different is the packaging. Now it looks very expensive, well-thought and very classy!!!
However, the lotion is somewhat different. I get more vanilla in it. Not a bad one though! It’s still amazing!
Bottle is epic. 10/10.
Forever love the scent. Everyone like it in me!!! Classic! I would name this as Victoria’s Secret Forever Heavenly ultimately luxurious perfume! Haha.
Love it!!!

Heavenly this is a relaunch of there unforgettable perfume from 1999 in an all new classic sleek sophisticated bottle! This is a very light sexy fresh scent. My only problem with this perfume is that is doesn’t last very long I have to layer it with the angel body mist to get 5 hours wear which is weak for an eau de parfum but that okay cause it’s not all that pricy. When I first sprayed this perfume I got a very crisp clean vanilla scent but not soapy clean it’s more just like a fresh clean it’s wonderful and very pretty 🙂 and I love that karlie is the new face of the perfume 🙂 10/10
18021977 – :
same scent, new bottle.
this is a sample i got for free with an order.
it smells like a blend Sea Island Cotton and Cherry Blossom from Bath & Body Works …. so, not too sweet and not too fruity, a good, everyday sort of fragrance.
Morlakc – :
According to the Victoria’s Secret website, this is the same scent as Dream Angels Heavenly. They no longer have it in the Dream Angels line, it’s separate and offers more products in the scent. They seem to be changing the looks of all their long-time fragrances.
Usanteetoge – :
Is this the same scent as Dream Angels Heavenly? or is it a completely different scent?
