Ange ou Demon Le Parfum & Accord Illicite

This is the first time since I was a teenager, with a limited budget and necessarily limited perfume wardrobe, that I've worn a fragrance for two days in a row. I am enjoying these two fragrances, mixed together and by themselves, so much that I can't stop reapplying them. On paper, neither should smell unique, but I honestly can't think of similar fragrances for either the Parfum or Accord, individually or layered. The fact that our fellow Fragranticans have only come up with one " Reminds me of..." says that I'm not the only one who thinks these are pretty special. I spent ages online trying to come up with a fragrance with identical or similar notes to the Accord, because quite frankly, I want it in 100ml, but I think I'll either have to repurchase this duo or try blending fragrances I already own which have white leather, patchouli, white musk and vanilla. As for the individual fragrances, the Parfum is uplifting and unmistakenly floral without being sweet. My bedroom smells incredible. Silage is medium but the longevity is at least 4 hours. I'm sorry I can't be more accurate but I keep reapplying it, not because it has faded but because I can't get enough of it. The Accord's white leather is what makes it special IMO. It starts with a slightly medicinal smell which I didn't like but the vanilla is lovely and not overly heavy. The Accord has a good silage - others definitely smell it across a room - but it fades pretty quickly. The vanilla isn't as strong as say, Dior Addict (well, nothing is, is it), but it's warm and delicious. Layered together I personally found the tangerine becoming more prominant and I'm not sure why that should be. It's a nice combo but nothing wonderful. I really enjoyed using the Parfum and Accord by themselves more. I did layer the accord over Coach The Fragrance last night because I always want a bit more leather in Coach than the suede gives it. That layering experiment was a winner for me. I hope I'm not talking up Ange ou Demon Le Parfum and Accord Illicit too much. It has't kicked anything off my top shelf, but the fact that I haven't stopped reapplying the Parfum, by itself or with the Accord for two days makes it a strong like for me. I hope that Givenchy brings out both as individuals. I would definitely buy them again.

I ́m in love with this tiny bottle, this Accord Illicite! It's gorgeous and glorious, divine and addictive.This little gem of an accord is warm, woody, sweet, dry, pure, attractive, addictive.... oh, I already said that. It smells like warm sweet imaginary wood -- or just... skin. Precious! I want at least 500 of these tiny bottles, so it would last a lifetime, and then I wouldn't need any other fragrance in my life. Seriously. As for the le Parfum - it's nice and all, but rather fleeting. It's also a little cold-dry-woody (all good in my book), and then a little cherry-sweet, and a lot of beautiful-cool-lovely jasmine. Carnal? I honestly don't know. I don ́t think so. What is carnal/sexy anyways? Ohh, there's also something very wonderful in there - something that smells as natural and enchanting as a lily for 15 minutes, and then morphs into an iris (not the blue powdery asian fragile beauty but the voluptuous colorful "garden iris" which is my favourite flower). There's a phase which smells voluptious n wonderfully floral - like a bouquet of lilies and irises, in a fresh morning breeze. I love it!!! I wear it to work, and feel comfortable and confident. Sexy? Hmmh, really? I'm struggling with the concept. Not pronunced sexy, not trying too hard, it's just easy going, natural and comfortable in ones skin. I'd rather say - I feel like myself wearing this, sexappeal possibly included, not emphasized. I miss the leather though. PS. Bought it at the airport, on a whim (I was on the hunt for the original Ange ou Demon tbh), 40ml for 35eur - no clue how that price happened. But I'm one lucky girl indeed! Edit: shoot, I should have bought a backup bottle of it as well!!! EDIT After a week of wearing the AoD Le Parfum - I'm just.... over the moon. I love the big bottle as well! Flowers, vanilla and amber - beautifully blended and well balanced. It's sweet yet polite, sexy yet subdued, happy yet restrained, warm, deep, confident, comforting, multifaceted, gentle and lady like. It's stunning!!!! It's like Norah Jones' voice.

First of all I'd like to say it (the pink perfume in the transparent bottle) has nothing in common with the regular "Ange ou Demon" for me, it's a unique and very sophisticated perfume. It's a very beautiful, white, dewy, innocent flower bouquet with a hint of fresh orange and some pure amber drops on the petals, sent for a noble, young lady for her 18th birthday. The stems of the flowers are bound together with a wide cream color satin ribbon which has some drops of a natural, good quality musk on it (I suppose this could be the black, tiny bottle) and this adds some sensuality, something new, surprising for that young lady, something tempting and scaring in the same time, something to discover. The perfume and the little, black bottle are quite opposite things, like that intelligent, pure, still innocent, aristocratic girl in her empire style silk and lace dress with precious embroideries and a bit rude, very manly, but honest and loving man who has stolen her heart. The black bottle perfume smells for me like a very, very concentrated regular "Ange ou Demon", a mixture of animalic, amber and musk notes which makes the pink perfume stronger, makes it last longer and adds that nuance of sensuality and warmth. The pink perfume is a sparkling, light flower ballroom waltz, the pink perfume with a touch of the black bottle perfume is a rumba - close, sensual, only between two people without any witnesses.

WOW! This is a sex in the bottle, actually in two bottles. It was my blind buy at a cheap price. I still can not understand why I bought it, its clearly not my cup of tea based on the notes. Its hard to explain what exactly it smells. Its not sweet, nor gourmand, not bitter, not fruity, not flowery. It starts with a liqueur notes and then settles in leather. Someone below mentioned cherry, yes, I am feeling cherries too. I don't like heavy composition, but this one is something special. It's not cloying and very comfortable. I am talking about big bottle. Also, the liquid is of whiskey colour, looks very classy and expensive. Small bottle reminded me new Chopard Vanilla Madagascar. Its funny again, as I do not like vanilla in perfumes. Actually I do not like vanilin, but I like natural vanilla beans. So small one smells expensive vanilla beans. I can not believe this perfume is not a hit like Midnight Poison. I am so happy that I bought two boxes by mistake. I would wear it in the nights any season. Its a bit too sexy for day time. I can not see why it can not be unisex. EDIT: I was wearing it on my wrist. Longevity is great, still there 12 hours later. Though projection is not huge. I would also say it is not for the blind buy, as my today's impression from this fragrance is different from yesterday. I can not say it is worse, but this fragrance is more complex than I thought initially.

I'm a huge fan of two perfumes, Alchimie by Rochas and Sensi by Giorgio Armani. Both were discontinued some time ago and I have kind of struggled for the past 5+ years to find something that I really love and could call my signature. I did some research and stumbled across "Ange ou Demon Le Parfum & Accord Illicit" and the notes intrigued me. I could only find one store who had this in stock and they didn't have a tester! So $150 later on a blind buy, I had everything crossed that it would capture my heart. I started by dabbing the little Ange ou Demon Accord Illicit in some keys areas, like wrists, neck etc and then sprayed a decent spray of the bigger bottle on each wrist and neck. I liked the initial smell of the perfume and immediately fell in love with its complexity! After 15-20 minutes, this warm, sensual and extremely sophisticated scent appears. It is so extremely complex and so sexy, yet subtle and feminine all at the same time. It has shot to the top of my perfume list and is my new signature fragrance. So much so that I have purchased another two bottles this morning! 10/10 for me...

Ange ou Demon le parfum is a mysterious, seductive scent. The edp is the perfect fall scent to me, thanks to the juicy tangerine and the patchouli, which provides an earthy scent of fallen leaves. The opening is a mouth-watering, not too tart, tangerine mixed with ethereal jasmine sambac. As the fragrance unfolds, these floral and citrusy notes give ground to patchouli and a hint of leather. The drydown is warm, ambery and opulent, accompanied with a fraction of sweetness from the vanilla. The Accord Illicite indeed gives more depth with an bigger, enjoyable dose of boozy patchouli and vanilla. Longevity is satisfactory and projection is rather moderate. There isn't a particular note overpowering everything. I don't get strong jasmine or too much sweetness or sharp patchouli. It's really well blended and balanced. What really impressed me is the uniqueness and the character of the fragrance. If Ange ou Demon was a woman, she would be sexy, mysterious and at the same time assertive, picture lace underneath a leather jacket. Definitely signature material.

The opening of Ange ou Demon Le Parfum reminds me of Ange ou Demon Le Secret. It is sweet and, although it isn't listed, I suspect there is a lily in there, somewhere. After the initial bubble gum-y scent, comes vanilla-chouli, a bit heavy, but it melts into the skin beautifully. The musk gives the composition a sensual appeal, that is hard not to notice. The sweetness of the vanilla is there for 10 straight hours, then all that remains is cozy patchouli and woodiness. As for it's accord illicite, it's all vanilla-chouli, warm and comforting. One drop is all you need and it stays with you for a few hours. If you apply a drop to where you sprayed Le Parfum (I mean if you layer the two), you only get more vanilla and patchouli. I like to use the mini as a separate fragrance, for night time or, better yet - for bed time. All in all, Ange ou Demon Le Parfum is a boom boom boom kind of fragrance, not for the faint of heart and not for stiletto blonde princesses.

This is very beautiful.I was thinking that mix of vanilla and Jasmine is used in a lot of perfumes and it's enough but I was wrong.this mix will be great always.this is one of the best perfumes of givenchy.it's warm soft deep charming feminine and for a classy woman.I love perfumes that are soft or sexy or classy and this is all of them.I can smell vanilla and Jasmine but there are other things too that make this very lovely and rich.there's some musk and amber.it has very good longevity and sillage.I think it's one of best new perfumes and I wish to have it 10/10 این عطر ترکیب خیلی قشنگی از یاس و وانیل هست که هیچ‌وقت تکراری نمیشه.این عطر زیبا هم سافت و لطیف هست هم خیلی سکسی و تو دل برو هم خیلی شیک و اشرافی.یک عطر زنانه همه چیز تمومه و کوچکترین کم و کاستی نداره.بجز یاس و وانیل کمی هم مشک و کهربا و ترکیبات دیگر هست که انرا زیباتر می کنه.ماندگاری و پخش خیلی خوبی داره و عطر خانم های متشخص هست نه بچه ها.من که میگم از بهترین عطرهای جدید هست ۱۰/۱۰

I emailed Givenchy to ask if they ever intended to produce the Accord Illicite separately. The answer was a firm Non! I then asked if they currently sold a similar fragrance. Non! What a lost opportunity. I can’t fathom why Givenchy would withdraw such a beauty. Whilst Ange ou Demon Le Parfum is delightful, the Accord Illicite is Magic. Fragrancenet recently sold the two separately, and for a very reasonable price, but I missed my chance to snap up any of the tiny bottles of the Accord Illicite. If you see it - grab it. If you enjoy vanilla in fragrances, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

I get loads of jasmine followed by vanilla, amber and leather. I could swear there is thyme in here but its not listed. Thyme is what makes ange au demon stand apart from the usual heavy sweet commercial parfums. Thankfully it's not overly sweet. I dont get much patch at all. A beautiful, decadent, rich and long lasting fragrance. I guess many would consider it a special evening scent but I like to wear whenever Im in the mood. A&D parfum always gets compliments. Moderate silage and longevity.

This is unexpectedly good A bit like givenchy Le secret, Le secret elixir, the oil expands the notes and makes them solder but stronger, then the oil added side is lasting longer with more silage. It goes a bit aromatic in the same way gucci rush does, or la vie set belle maybe... Overall I get a caramelly hit with notes from the above flankers, using it with the oil makes it lean towards a warmer caramelly version of Le secret elixir. Nice job, this is well done

I just rediscovered this underrated gem! Wow! It’s so yummy, seductive, alluring, mysterious that would make anybody turn their heads to attention! Sweet tangerine with the sultry Jasmin and the mixture of patchouli, white leather and musk create a balsamic bomb meant to seduce and kill. I am saving the illicit accord for special occasions... in bed! :))

Really special the new creation by Givenchy. A warm and delicious jasmine in the Parfum and a sensual patchouli for tha Accord Illicite. They have in common the feline leather accord. Love it!! Both very long lasting, more the Accord Illicite. If someone want to it easy, ask me, I do sending. I'm in italy.

What a stunning perfume! Love at first sniff! The selection and the mixture of the notes are incredible. Usually I am not keen on these ingrediends, but I am totally smitten by this fragrance. The sillage is moderate, but for me this is another advantage.

Love this one..rich, strong & luxurious scent. Lasting power is amazing. I think this perfume is special & classy..thumbs up!

does anyone test the Accord Illicite ? does it chance the smell of the perfume ?

If anyone wants to unload their Accord Illicite, I'll gladly take it! :)

Leather, seriously ? I wonder where is it hiding .... probably behind the wall of Jasmine and vanilla, wrapped in an ambery blanket, covered in flower pollen and musky sweetness. No seriously, the leather is minimal. I can guess it is there, somewhere lost in this composition described as a floriental, but it's not the focus of the perfume. Now, I am writing this after one wearing. I saw the gorgeous bottle and, under the nostalgia of my Ange ou demon Le secret , I got it. I am not sure I want to keep it. The tiny black bottle I haven't tried yet, it's so little I am even afraid to open the lid. How is it supposed to last through a big 75 ml bottle ? Maybe it isn't meant to be worn together all the time. Back to the perfume, the bottle is gorgeous. That's what sold me. I had a sample from swap with a lolvey member here, but I had forgotten the scent....the bottle however isn't full to the lid like the pictures on fragrantica shows , and I bought mine sealed from Hudson Bay , and the juice colour is also darker than the photo here. the smell reminds indeed of Ange ou Demon Le Secret, the original first edition in a peachy pink color . It is stronger. There is some citrus in the opening which quickly disipates , letting the Jasmine shine. The Jasmine is mixed up with vanilla, amber, musk, and some patchouli but not a lot. A little suede type of leather , non animalic, joins in and adds richness . This is expensive. But it is worth mentioning that both the big bottle and the little bottle come in Parfum concentration , they are not edt, edp or edc. The the money isn't thrown on fresh fragrant water , like many other fragrances recently. As all Parfum concentrations, the lasting power is very good and the silage medium , not soft but not loud either . It's isn't delicate and angelic like Le secret, even though they have the same backbone. This is stronger, richer, much more sensual, almost aggressive . Edit : I think I love it ! I also tried the Illicite accord, just one drop. It's more vanillic than I though, very nice. I wish it had a sprayer, I am not the one to dab from miniatures . Needless to say I won't touch is again .

This is my first time trying this perfume. I’ve been wanting to for a long time, especially because it comes with the tiny Accord Illicit, which I find absolutely adorable. Based on reviews and the listed notes, I always imagined this to be a very unusual fragrance—and I wasn’t wrong. The first spray felt powerful, even a little sharp. I think it’s because of the orange, but it’s not a juicy or sweet orange. Instead, it’s like the bitter peel, almost candied but with a resinous, zesty edge. The jasmine sambac comes in right away, and it’s strong—not in the way of Terracotta or Alien, but in a darker, denser way. And this is where things get interesting: the jasmine doesn’t stand alone. It’s pushed forward by amber and leather, creating an oily, almost medicinal feeling, like some kind of aromatic balm. At first, I struggled with it. It felt intense, a bit challenging, and I wasn’t sure if I would like it. But after about fifteen minutes, everything started shifting. The musk and orange blossom softened the fragrance, balancing out that deep, opulent, and almost dirty quality. It’s as if the scent sits in between clean and dirty—something rich and intense, but with a fresh undertone that makes it more wearable. That fresh touch stays throughout the fragrance, giving it a sense of continuity. As it dries down, the darker elements fade, and a sweet, juicy floral takes over. The orange becomes smoother, while the vanilla steps forward, making the fragrance feel warmer and more enveloping. But there’s something else—maybe it’s the mix of amber and musk, but I almost pick up a powdery violet-like note. There’s no violet listed, but it gives me a slight “Yapa candy” effect (for those unfamiliar, Yapa is an Argentine violet-flavored candy). Not as intense as Insolence, but there’s a faint resemblance. This fragrance is far from linear. It starts bold, almost daring, and gradually transforms into something creamier, sweeter, and more approachable. It’s unique, intriguing. I still need to try it with the Accord Illicit—I feel like that could add an interesting twist.

The Accord Illicite is different than the Ange ou Demon Le Parfum. Both are very pretty and I think can be worn separately. Accord Illicite reminded me of iris the brief moment I had it solo before I sprayed the big one atop of it. My second wrist is the big bottle on itself plus I have Ange ou Demon Le Parfum globally as well. The first 15 minutes after application and I feel my Accord Illicite is completely drowned in the scent of the Ange ou Demon Le Parfum. I made a mistake, it was to be worn atop of the already applied big bottle spray. But I can feel it projecting the base notes of musk, leather and vanilla. The difference is the projection. These notes are still absent from my wrist with Le Parfum only, but I can feel them as if far away. When worn together with Ange ou Demon Le Parfum the little gem emanates the base notes like radiance. Top of the Le Parfum greets us with mandarine and jasmin peeks from underneath. And I think the leather base can be perceived right after application. It is a parfum version of Ange ou Demon Le Secret (edp and edt since they are similar) and I wish they stated so on the bottle, because it has nothing to do with the black and crystal bottle holding the scent of Ange ou Demon classic. If you love Ange ou Demon Le Secret eau de parfum and the limited version Ange ou Démon Le Secret Edition Croisiere then you can safely blind buy this gem. It does have a presence and shine fit for the parfum concentration. It smells expensive and refined, mysterious. A feminine version of the too masculine Alien. The jasmin here civilized and gorgeous but not alone to shine and not overdone. I remember this version irritated me on release because I was hoping it to be the parfum version of the classic, but now I am happy with it. It should be worn summery night, let the jasmin bloom.
