Van Py Rhum
Arriving soon
Juicy fruit, sharp edges, rum and tobacco
Evil Angel is built on duality. A basket of juicy, sparkling fruit meets sharper, more incisive notes, and the two sides join in a sweet melody that is at times liquorous. Rum, whiskey, coconut and cinnamon sit in the heart, over a base of vanilla, tobacco, sandalwood and myrrh. The brand sums it up as one unexpected story in a bottle.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all...
The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The top is the busiest part. Tropical fruit, citrus, lime and mint give the sparkle, while Roman absinthe, Paraguay petitgrain, rain notes and cashmere wood supply the sharper, drier side. Musk and oak are listed here as well, so even the opening has some body.
In the heart the fruit gives way to spirit. Rhum and whiskey bring the liquorous sweetness, coconut rounds it off, cinnamon adds warmth and robinia a soft floral shade. This is where the two sides of the perfume meet and the contrast turns into one sweet line.
The base is dark and sweet. Vanilla and Bourbon vanilla sit with tobacco, sandalwood and myrrh, with Iso E Super and cedarwood underneath. After the sparkle of the top it settles into something slow and warm, and the tobacco keeps the vanilla from turning plain.
Wearing it
An evening perfume first of all: rum, tobacco and vanilla are at their best when the air is cool and the light is low. As an extrait it is dense, so one or two sprays are plenty. In warm weather apply lightly and let the mint and citrus keep it lively.
For people who like their sweetness with an edge: boozy, spiced and a little contradictory. It suits dinners, nights out and the colder months. If you want a clean, quiet or purely fresh scent, the rum and tobacco will be more than you are looking for.
Evil Angel is a perfume about contrast rather than one single idea, and the contrast is noticeable from top to base. It comes from Lorenzo Pazzaglia, whom the brand describes as a chef, a nose and a dreamer, and it sits in his Self Portrait collection.
Questions
Yes, but not a simple one. Vanilla, rum and coconut bring the sweetness, while absinthe, mint, tobacco and cinnamon cut across it.
Mostly in the evening and in cooler months, when the boozy vanilla-and-tobacco side suits the setting. The mint and citrus keep it from feeling heavy in milder weather.
It is the concentration the brand uses for everything it makes. Extraits are dense and built to last, so apply sparingly to the skin and give it a few minutes to open.
For someone who enjoys boozy, spiced and sweet scents, yes. It is a bold character, so it suits a person whose taste you know. The bottle holds 50 ml.
The house
Lorenzo Pazzaglia, also styled PAX by Lorenzo Pazzaglia, is an Italian artistic perfumery from the Marche region. Every perfume is an Extrait de Parfum, and the scents are vivid and playful: summer cocktails, sea air, rum and vanilla, cherry and chocolate.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
