Ange ou Demon Le Secret Poesie d’un Parfum d’Hiver

This is Ange Ou Démon Le Secret disguised behind a layer of cinnamon, clove and candied orange. For those who know Yogi Tea, and those who like to go to organic grocery stores on holidays, when the scent of spicy Christmas tea lingers in the air, this is what Poésie d'un Parfum d'Hiver smells like. Sweet, delicious and cozy like Christmas tea. Oddly, the spices only stay a few hours, and after they leave, the fragrance dries down like regular Le Secret's cranberry tea accord. It's everything you can expect from a Christmas fragrance. The golden bottle and starry night themed box look like a beautiful Christmas gift. A very hard to find and expensive fragrance, but if you can get your hands on a bottle for a reasonable price, and you like the idea of Le Secret with extra clove and cinnamon, go for it !

This is very sweet and addicting. The jasmine comes through well. The sweets also come through very well for the candied orange, praline, and gingerbread. I'm so glad that this perfume doesn't have patchouli in it, since so many dessert notes like those seem to get put with patchouli and ruined/overpowered for me. I want to smell the dessert, and I really can in this scent! The musk is very minimal in this, which I think is perfect. I do wish the sillage was better though. Spray 6-8 times and I only have a light scent. I really love the perfume and very much enjoy wearing it.

I get a syrupy and nutty scent combined with warm, almost ambery orange and tea (earl grey, perhaps). I don't feel the ginger, but I would have guessed there was honey in it. The herbal tea note gives this sweet gourmand a touch of sobriety. They were right to call it a "winter" flanker. I very much get that (admittedly cliché) image of being in a Swiss chalet, drinking tea, watching the snow fall from out the window, my ski boots drying by the fire place.

I plan to give this perfume a full review once I've fully understood it, but the weird thing is my bottle looks exactly like the one in the picture but it says "ange ou etrange" NOT ange ou demon. Same with the box. It says "ange ou etrange- le secret" and underneath "Poesie d'un Parfum d'Hiver". What's weird is the pic of the bottle on this webpage says ange ou demon. Anyone own this perfume that can help me? You can pm me if you'd like. The perfume smells just like the notes listed here too... EDIT: Problem solved! I was told that the word "demon" is sort of forbidden, if you will, in certain countries, so my bottle must be from one of those countries (but weird since I got it from a US website. Oh well!) As far as the actual perfume, it's definitely a sort of orange peel or burnt orange, sweet praline, ginger fragrance. I definitely pick up on the tea note. In fact, I find the tea very prominent. So far I like it a lot. It's quite unique. I need to give it a few hours though. Yes, it's probably traditionally more of a "winter" scent, but the spicyness is quite fresh so I think it would be appropriate for Fall or even a cool summer night. This isn't at all heavy or cloying. In fact, it's kind of soft. I mean it's a fresh spicy scent, but it's not in your face. The sillage is airy rather than thick and heavy. UPDATE: After an hour or so, I am still liking the perfume a lot. As it progresses, the scent becomes warm and sweet. The spices are quite unusual and I can't say I've smelled anything like it before. Very unique. I still smell the tea, btw. :)

Mmmmmm so beutiful gingery citrusy sweat and spicy. Its like a warm hug at christmes times. when all the senses are open.. You close your eyes . and just breath in joy happines. feal the hug off a long lost friend.
