The middle and the drydown is really similar to Angel indeed, but way more tame, soft and more musky (or powdery?). The patchouli is still prominent but more tolerable to wear in the summer. Luckily it’s quite long lasting on me between 4 hours isn’t that bad

I don’t care much for Angel, I like Silver Light actually way better. Somehow the patchouli doesn’t come through as strongly, which makes Silver Light sweeter and more feminine. Lasting power is poor, just like Silver Light Galatica (Yes, and it is not a spello, strangely it is not called Galactica but really Galatica – someone must have snoozed when they named it). Actually Galatica lasts slightly longer. After 2 hours Silver Light is almost completely gone. I like it, but because of its poor performance I will not repurchase. If I have to reapply a frag every two hours, it has to be superb. It is nice, but that shortcoming of longevity is not acceptable for a mediocre fragrance, as inexpensive as it may be.

Somehow people associate it with TM Angel, and I must admit that they are quite similar at the first sniff, but when Angel still remain “grande” and “powerful”…this one, getting milder and powdery. Well, comparing the price…it is decent.

This was another fragrance that was lying in a discount bin one Christmas, before my grand perfume obsession began. I sprayed it on the palm of my hand, and smelled something deep, rich, dark and in my opinion, somewhat masculine and unsettling. I didn’t think to buy it just then, but tested it in fascination every time I stopped by that particular grocery store. In time, foraying into the fragrance sections of department stores and making my first tentative purchases, I came to identify the scent of patchouli and made an important discovery: this was a dupe of Thierry Mugler Angel.
It is less complex, less overwhelming than Angel. It smells quite thin in comparison, in fact, with a less impressive projection. But as with other dupes of the grand blue monster, this failure (or smart marketing decision) to account for a few of the notes, and to lower the sillage and projection factors, actually makes for a more wearable version of Angel, a perfume that to me is an acquired taste, and for which one must be feeling a particular aggressiveness (sexual or otherwise) to spray on.
As with Silver Light Galactica, you can remove the weird metallic attachment fitted into the top of the bottle, leaving you with a rather plain crescent shape that is easier to spray. The testers for these two fragrances have been stripped in this manner, perhaps to save the perfume from being dropped by eager but butter-fingered customers.
Patchouli lovers, rest assured, this dupe has it in scads.
