Guerlain Angelique Noire: I find some of the notes in this scent hard to decipher, and perhaps that is because I am not very familiar with the angelica note. It opens with a kind of fresh note -- maybe due to the angelica and pear -- but dries down to a warm well-blended fragrance with a lot of vanilla. I like it, but I am not sure if I like it enough to get a full bottle. I will probably try it again since I still have a lot left in my sample.
