The opening has a bitter medicinal smell, like orange cough syrup, but then it settles into the above. It opens with a searing cacophony of notes which at first made me worry that it might bring on a headache, but it immediately seems to calm down into what manages to be both a warm and cold fragrance at the same time. The most exciting part for me is that the orchid is far more prominent than I expected--another one of my favorite notes! Ange ou Demon is unlike any other fragrance I've smelled, and I'd say I've smelled quite a lot of them.

Quite a unique scent, I don't necessarily think it would be a crowd pleaser, so this is definitely for somebody who wears perfume for themselves. It’s sweet and powdery, but it has this airy quality to it that makes it easy to wear during the day too. Like an angler fish at a distance there is a sweet little soft glow, a little citrus, mostly lilly, but up close the woods and vanillia jump up for a big sultry smokey bite. That makes it a very pleasant and delicious scent, very sweet, but with absolutely nothing of this one.

A lot of people say it smells better in winter, but to me it shines the best in summer and warm days. This perfume for me was the best creation of the Givanchy house, it is seductive and elegant, it really has something light and dark, it for me translates very well the name that has Angel or devil, good and evil, pure seduction or sexy seduction. The initial blast is powdery vanilla with a hit of saffron and a slight herbal note which is the thyme, but I almost expected to see almond in the notes as it has that vibe. After all, under the half-light and behind a mask, we can all show a side that nobody knows or, who knows, our real personality.

This is because of the saffron and the thyme, which give dry and leathery nuances, much used in men's fragrances. If I spray this on in the morning, I’ll wake up the next day, shower, and this will still stay with me.

This fragrance is mystical , ethereal , feminine yet dark , screams femme fatale but still has a touch of softness and light to it. Super sexy and mysterious,very prominent note of orchid, saffron and vanilla, the opening smells like verbena. It is just so darn unique and beautiful, you really truly need to smell it to have an idea about just how beautiful it really is. The church smells is also amazing, reminds you of Victorian dolls without the creepiness while staying modern and sexy. It's perfect for sexy women who know the difference between elegance and vulgarity, but who also know the exact time to choose which one to use.

Almost similar to a patchouli note, but not as musky sour or eternal as patchouli, more herbal like a garden or spice rack.The opening is original and very nice with that dry liquorish maraschino cherry vibe, then it mellows down into a syrupy vanilla with that little maraschino edge. the clubbing nights all the bad choices and the good ones all the nights of magic happened wearing this gem. I am telling you I was on the same boat and bought it anyway and now I am sitting here, extremely dissapointed and without money I could've spend much more smarter.
