Ange Ou Demon Le Secret

I am biased; I have been wearing this since consistently since 2014, but received several samples of it at Sephora since 2012. There is nothing that smells like this, in my opinion. I really don't understand people on here saying it's generic or nothing special. To me, it's my absolute FAVORITE perfume in the world. It is not juvenile; I honestly believe a woman of any age could wear this. However, it is fruity enough that I think certain teenagers would still wear this. Just more "elegant" or sophisticated than let's say, a Victoria's Secret, Aeropostale, or Aerie fragrance. It doesn't scream sex appeal. It's just a very beautiful, fresh, yet citrus fragrance. Very very special to me. They reformulated this in 2014 for whatever reason. I do have several bottles of that version too, because I was unaware you could buy the original 2009 version on eBay. Now, I buy it whenever I can afford it on eBay or poshmark. There is a patchouli note in this one that was removed in the reformulation. And that is what I believe makes this version stand out to me over the new one. I just love it. If you ever have a chance to sample it or are debating buying this, if you are interested in the notes, I don't think you'll regret it. I highly doubt it would be offensive to anyone; it is not one of those overbearing perfumes you want to scrub off. More of a close to the skin scent. There's really nothing like this. Highly underrated in my opinion. If anyone on here ever sees my review and has a bottle they want to sell, please reach out to me. I plan on buying bottles of this version for as long as I can find them. Can see myself wearing this forever. I always come back to it, and I have easily over 50 fragrances. I usually choose this one and only have about 10-15 other fragrances I will rotate it with once in a blue moon for something different. It's a beautiful scent and I can't rave about it enough. If you like fresh perfumes and tea notes, give this a shot. I 100% see this as a safe blind buy. I will cry if they ever discontinue this line. I know I may sound dramatic but that's how much I adore this fragrance. One of a kind.

This fragrance is one of my favourite spring fragrances. It opens as a bright and fruity tea. Both the lemon and cranberry gove it a strong tartness, but there is a pleasant sweetness as well. I find the sweetness grows as it dries down. A lot of the sweetness seems to come from the patchouli, which is a a clean and green patchouli that pairs quite nicely with the tea note. There is only a hint of the original Ange ou Demon EDP in this flanker. I notice it, but I have to look for it. All of the darkness and depth from the original was left out of this one. This one could have been simply called Ange, there is nno demon in this bottle. I have had excellent performance with Ange Ou Demon Le Secret. It lasts all day, 10+ hours omn skin and even longer on clothes. It has solid projection, a little beyond arms length for much of the wear time. For the last few hours it stays pretty close to the skin. This is a warm weather fragrance for me. I love the tart, juiciness in the opening on a warm day, or when I want to imagine a warm day. I own both this formula (as pictured) and the more recent one. This review is for the older formulation. I do find there is minimal difference between them though. This one has a slightly deeper and more rounded sweetness, while the new formula is lighter and more tart. I smell little difference in the dry down with the older formula being a little more patchouli heavy. The performance is pretty similar with this one being a little better, but both are pretty long lasting. I don't find them different enough to hunt down one bottle over the other, but if they are both available for the same price, I would choose the older one. I kinda hate the caps on all the Ange ou Demon bottles. They fit poorly. They are also a little awkward to recap, they have to sit just right but the difference between the front and back of the cap is pretty subtle.

I've had this perfume since last Christmas, and I am delighted to say that I still love it every time I sniff it. I never get tired of it. It's a mouthwatering fragrance that works well in both the winter and summertime, and is perfect for about every occasion. The tea note makes this perfume slightly unique, and I love that it makes this fragrance (imo) iridescent rather than effervescent. It reminds me of the sensation that I get when I eat my favorite food - watermelon! However, it isn't exactly cold; a warmth comes through from the herbality of it and perhaps from the jasmine and peony combo (and maybe through the blond woods?). Sometimes I like to wear "ugly" perfumes, like Alien or maybe Loverdose, because they're interesting, and I can see that some may see ange ou demon le secret as boring because it isn't ugly at all. However I disagree that it is boring because of the tea note. Sure fruity florals are the most popular type of perfume, but just because it's "pretty" doesn't mean that it's bland or doesn't have depth. It's warm, it's cooling; it's cozy, it's formal; it's different and unique, it's inoffensive; it's sophisticated, it's young and fun. It's my signature fragrance. Only drawback: it's kinda weak. It doesn't last all that long - 4 or maybe 6 hours at the very most. But, if you love a scent, you freaking love a scent! Seize the day!

I wish i could find it cheaper somewhere. I absolutely adore this perfume but haven't seen it anywhere since my dad gifted it to me back in 2011 or so. Now i just rediscovered it but it's pricey.It may not be the best of perfumes but it has a lot of nostalgia attached to it. It smells beautiful and sophisticated. I guess i loved the green tea and cranberry combo which gave it a sweetness but it wasn't sickenly sweet. I dont really know how to differentiate flowers yet lol but there was definitely florals in this that just wrapped up this exquisite package beautifully. I can't remember how good the sillage was though... Update: I was wondering, would it make more sense to just get the le secret elixir for longevity or not? Do they smell very much alike? EDIT: I just got my hands on this beauty and it smells just as I remember. The lemon is way toned down here in comparison to the 2014 reformulation and I’M IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN!!! I’ve started worrying what I’ll do when it’s finished but instead I think I’ll just take it slow and enjoy the ride till then. I’ll cross that bridge when I get there lol The longevity is impressive for what it is; it lasted almost the entire day on my skin. Don’t know about sillage tho. Honestly with a scent this great, as long as I can smell it, i’m good

Absolutely beautiful! This is a light, fresh citrusy floral. The opening is tart and there's a pink pepperish note which is probably the cranberry. The Lemon blends wonderfully with the tartness of the tea and creates a fresh, crisp aroma that's superb for hot days and warm months. After about 20 minutes the jasmine and peony begin to be noticed and they create a soft, ultra-feminine fragrance. It conjures up memories of romantic walks down secluded lanes in Sydney's Lane Cove area on warm summer days between hedgerows of jasmine as the sun begins to set. It's a sublime scent! The waterlily gives AoD a lovely aquatic and sweet fragrance. There's a peach note that begins at about 40 minutes in and this seems to be the blending of the florals with the cranberry and lemon. It moves to a skin scent after an hour and doesn't last long. Also, while the bottles are beautiful the tops tend to be difficult to place correctly and can be problematic. The price of Ange ou Demon le secret is a bit exorbitant if you're on a budget. I loved the fragrance so much I bought 2 bottles so I wouldn't run out. It's become one of my signature scents and my go-to fragrance when I want to feel uplifted. It is both comforting and calming while being uplifting and energising at the same time.
