Ange ou Demon (for women)

woogyjones50

I LOVE this perfume. It has a lovely floral scent with the lily running through it and the sweet note of the ylang ylang dancing alongside it. That said, it is not merely a floral because it has a sexy undercurrent that makes itself known immediately with the rosewood, vanilla and oakmoss. I like the concept of having an innocent scent mingling with a sexy, 'darker' one and I think this one pulls it off beautifully. Also, this one stays so long on the skin. I applied this perfume well over 12 hours ago and it still smells beautiful.

I should add that I do think that overapplying this perfume would be a mistake. It's strong and could easily be overbearing. But applied with a light hand, this is a perfume that is very sexy and would be great for a night out with that special person.

White light/smoke darkness, this bottle deserves a more evocative perfume. Ange ou Demon certainly isn't offensive - the top notes create a slightly grapefruit meets lily effect on my skin without being too sharp, and the heavier notes bring out the demon long before the angel materialises in a trail of faint talc. Clean, pleasant, inoffensive... it's a strangely ordinary perfume for a name promising such extremes. I can take or leave it.

LadyJedi

A very sexy and alluring scent - dark, unique and long-lasting. I really love the vanilla trail in this one.

The name definitely suits the product. Somehow it is a perfume that you love and hate at the same time, or like it for a while then get sick of it, then like it all again. It is both gentle, warm and gourmand, as well as too heavy, sickening and nasty. It does to a certain level remind of Angel, but it's not a copy of it.
I think I would definitely like it more if it held some freshness, citrus or floral, in it.

Silvery

Gorgeous bottle, attention-grabbing advertisement, famous house... and a hmm... not very good perfume. I tried it yesterday on my skin, at first it seemed to be pretty fine, but the more time passed, the more annoying it got. There's a displeasing note in it, which gives the impression of being unbalanced and cheapsmelling for me, ruining the whole scent. Personally I don't like this one, and it's definitely not for teenagers, maybe it would fit better more mature women. Well, I'll give a chance to the tendre edition.

ok, dual personality, but why does it smell soooo cheap, like it were for women in a poor chinese market? in my opinion, a huge disappointment from givenchy, just like another mistake of theirs, the "eau torride"

glitteralex

Given the bottle and the scent, I actually thought this was an Angel "fake". How shocked to see it was an actual fragrance, and by the people who brought us L'Interdit, Givenchy III, Amarige, Organza, etc.

A skinny version of Angel, with some more accessible notes.

How embarassing for Givenchy.

Fairy

this is one of my fav perfume.. it sweet smell when i first spray to my hand... and the rest i feel flowery...
i think this is good perfume to wear occasionally or in winter or at nite.....
love this... =))

charmian

Forgive me, amateurs of this perfume... For me, it is so disbalanced, so strange and sad.... If somebody use Ange ou Demon, I suddenly begin to think about the burials....
When it rains, Ange ou Demon smells like the rotted fruit, covered with sugar pouder. Terrible.....

I cannot decide myself if I like this or not. Well, I guess this is the idea of this perfume, and like the name suggests it, whenever I smell it there is a terrible fight in my head.
My Angel is saying; it is warm and sweet and vanilla white
Then the little Devil on my left shoulder goes: Hahaha! Gotcha! Let me send you some poisonous substance your way with these deep and dark flowers I have!
I guess it is brilliant coming up with a scent like this - neither good or evil. But I could not make myself buy it, as I cannot decide which side to take :)

tommy_girl

I love the bottle and I love the name.although I'm not it no oriental scents,I think this one is ok ,specially in cold or rainy days.

Oxygene

This perfume reminds me of my grandma. We are walking beside an old fence... the sun shines on the amber... half memory, half dream. Strange... Maybe the thyme, I dont know.

Hattie

This is a beautiful and oh so feminine creation. It's catlike in its dual nature, and it's haunting while it seduces the senses.
For sure, it's not for everyone. I see a strong, confident woman wearing this.

Hecate

The perfums start sweet en powdery and later one it has a warm, woody feeling.
It reminds me also of my insolence except for the raspberry note.
If you like powdery perfums from Kenzo, you might enjoy this one too.

proly

It's very creamy and powdery to start off, and slowly but surely drys to a nice breezy, floral, scented woodsy base note... good enough for me to request a 2nd bottle.The bottle design has to be one of the best female ones around, very dark and almost sinister, which ironically fits the oxymoron name given to it. The scent is very "angelic" and one may get fooled by its bottle design to be something sharp and overly herbal.

liat

Very good but too heavy and overpowering. The tender version should be better for this season.

nezzabel

too overpowering!
at the end of the bottle it just make me head ache and sick.

Mitsouko

Too heavy, too stuffy, too sweet, too a low-class for me.

lolo

its too heavy scent ...just for winter

KeLLStar

A beautiful rich and mysterious scent. The name fits it perfectly. Ange ou Demon definitely has two different personalities. Its sweet & innocent, yet there is something different... intoxicating and sinful.

The citrus, floral & vanilla scents smell amazing. It's a comforting scent, yet energizing.

Angel or Demon? Both definitely, and that's how I like it!

Ninulia

I'm Thinking on buying this or Alien for Winter and just can't decide... =(

guest_Hana

This very powdery and sweet it remids me of a mysterious person wearing it

Nazireh

I think it's is a refined, sophisticated yet deeply sensual. I like the duality in this one, there's a pleasantly tangy first part that melts seemsly into a dark sensual rich base. I love the design of the bottle too, and it's definitely a romantic nocturnal scent.

Giv1952

the lily note and ylang - ylang is so noble, soothed by vanilla. a long lasting fragrance. It's atract people secretly

Candra

Divine. A very rich fragrance. I have the body cream too.

indigo.smile

Well..for me it's nothing special. But i have no regret have bought it though..It's nothing special but it has sweet classical tone in it. I wear it occasionally

Nuppu

Afraafra, I think it is. It seems to be more appropriate name in some countries, example in Arab Emirates where was no "demons", only "entrange" in hot, new Givenchy fragranse.

afraafra

is Givenchy Ange ou Etrange the same perfume as this...anyone knows?

Marianne

That's funny - in the beginning, it reminded me of soap, too. But I quite like it now and especially on cold, rainy days, it makes me feel comfortable.

Aeternitas

It's indeed a sexy perfume, mystic and sensual. However, I didn't find it all that unique, it smells similar to Boucheron Trouble, without the citrus, which reminds me also of Hypnose (like lilybee mentioned), but not as powdery. At the moment I have it on my skin, and I can smell both sides: dark and light, angelic and evil. It's nice, I understand the concept. It's a perfect idea, how the incredible contrast of two things can work together so perfectly.

When I first put it on my skin, I smelled nothing but soap. I hated it. The more I wore it, the more I love it! The soapiness went away. The dry down reminds me of Armani Code, but not as dark. (Armani Code is my all-time favorite). I smell a lot of florals, not sure which ones, but very beautiful ones. It must be the lily. I now want this!

rebella

I´ve tried yhis one today. And now I know for sure that I have to buy it... as soon as possible. My husband liked it to. We both found it personal, sensual, exotic and exclusive.

My biggest problem is that when I buy a new perfume, I have discovered at least a coupple of new perfumes that I must have. But it is a nice problem. ;)

lillybee

I've samples of this scent. It's powerful lily notes give it an almost black allure, gothic, very dark, yet sweet, sensual. There's also some nice vanilla lingering there which softens it a bit. When I get a waft of this undertone, it reminds me of 'Hypnose' from Lancome which is more popular than ever. I smell people wearing it (or something similar to that) on the streets of London almost every day. I'm not really into this scent but I can imagine it on dark haired women with pale skin tone wearing it for a passionate night in / out. It can wear the nose out though. Would be interesting to know what men think of it when their lady's wearing it.
