Where people agree
“La Rive River of Love smells almost identical to the original Angel edp, I'm really, REALLY impressed, and it's very long-lasting. Since my Angel is from 2009 I wanted to find a dupe”
reddit post ↗“River of Love (jomashop, $11) is the dupe you want, according to Reddit comments. It smells like the old formula with a pleasant dry-down, and it has good projection and lasting power. But most importantly it smells sweeter than the “new” A”
reddit post ↗“It's called River of Love by La Rive”
reddit ↗“River of Love is an Angel by Mugler dupe. Angel is one of my favorite fragrances and this smells more like the original pre-reformulated Angel vs the Angel that's been butchered through reformulation.”

Where people disagree
“Update: I tried it last year and it doesn’t have that strong berries & chocolate that the OG Angel had. It’s a tad stronger on that pine and fruit though. Meh.”
reddit ↗“I kept reading how it’s a dupe for the 90’s version of Thierry Muglier’s Angel which I’ve been so annoyingly searching for.”

- Chopard Wish is widely considered a very affordable alternative with an amber vanilla scent profile similar to Mugler Angel.
- Users describe Wish as a less aggressive and 'less dirty' version of Angel, making it easier to wear in office settings.
- One reviewer notes that the older grey-blue formulation is preferable to the newer aqua-green version.
“The only fragrance I’ve found that is similar to Angel is Wish by Chopard. You want to get the older version though, it’s a grey blue shade, no the newer version that is an aqua-green color. It’s not expensive at all and it’s super delish.”
reddit ↗“Wish from Chopard 💎. It‘s an amber vanilla with quite a similar scent profil to angel mugler, so it‘s more like the original angel but very affordable”
reddit ↗“I would definitely check out Wish by Chopard”
reddit ↗“Chopard's Wish is also supposed to be like a less-dirty Angel.”
