The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Oriental Edition II is a woody-oriental floral for women from Angel Schlesser, released in 2009. The fragrance centers on a spicy, woody foundation with a powdery rose heart: top notes of rose, jasmine, violet, bergamot and lily-of-the-valley lead into saffron, carnation and a soft praline accord, and it dries down to patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla, amber, Virginia cedar, musk and vetiver. Main accords show woody, warm spicy and rose facets with clear sweet and powdery lifts. Rated 4.06/5 from 610 votes, it is well liked by many wearers for its strong projection and winter warmth, though some find the development linear or medicinal.
Our take
I reach for this when I want a bold, night-ready rose that reads spicy and woodsy. I appreciate how saffron and carnation sit over creamy sandalwood and a gentle praline sweetness; that contrast keeps it interesting. The opening can be soapy or medicinal on me, and the blend does feel fairly linear after the first hour, which reduces some of the drama. Performance is a strength, longevity and sillage are reliable, so on cool evenings this works very well despite the occasional harsh start.
Dominant Accords
The Bottle
Angel Schlesser Oriental Edition II comes in a tall, rectangular bottle with softened-looking edges and a very dark, subtly greenish appearance. A horizontal seam divides its upper and lower sections, while low-set gold lettering keeps the front sparse. It is restrained and conventional, with too little visual character to feel memorable.
Original or Clone
Buying the original is defensible chiefly because this fragrance has become a reference point: one house has tried to reproduce its woody, warm-spicy, rose character. That gives the release some standing without telling us how close the attempt is. The original remains the version issued by its own house, while the interpretation is a moving target if vendors or batches change. We have no comparative wear data, so readers choosing the interpretation are making a reasonable decision; readers seeking the reference itself have a clearer case for this release.
