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.

I saw a bottle of this in the Duty Free shop in Indonesia, and out of curiosity I tried this on. I fell in love at the first try! Not too strong, not too sweet; very nice to wear in a very sunny day. If I get to catch a scent of this, I picture myself being in the middle of a meadow in a nice, breezy sunny day. Being a fan of tea and fruity/citrus scents, this is definitely going to be my signature scent once I get my hands on a bottle of this. I even tried it back at home along with a few scents (Guess for Women, Burberry Body, CH by Carolina Herrera and Couture Couture by Juicy Couture), had my boyfriend smell samples of the scents, and this was his favorite! He says that this goes well with my skin too. Sadly, the price here for the small bottle is the same price of the big bottle in the Duty Free shop, so maybe I'll just wait until I get a chance to get back to the Duty Free shop again. Only con I see here is that the staying power is not too long. Doesn't last for more than an hour on me considering its price. UPDATE: Good things come to those who wait! Good thing I waited until I got to the Duty free shop again, and I got a pouch and a perfumed body veil (lotion) for free! Lucky! :D

I have this fragrance & i love it. It is a beautiful blend of ice tea, lemon, flowers & fresh linen, it is fresh feminine, natural & powdery. It isn't a strong fragrance that leaves trails, it is weak soft and sits close to the skin but it is supposed to... this is the ange! i have the demon also which is opposite in contrast. This one is soft sweet and innocent, i would say it is a morning autumn fragrance perfect for going for a tea or coffee or a light lunch it is a cosy warm and inviting perfume that is natural and sweet and endearing to all who comes into contact with it. It is impossible to hate this fragrance it is so unoffensive and it is simply feminine without being over the top. It is for the classy quiet and reserved young woman who only shows her playful mischievous side once in a while to certain special people. Like demon this fragrance draws you in, however, this one draws you in through subtlety and innocence and naivety, whereas demon is more dark bold and daring in contrast.

I finally found the delicate yet long-lasting scent that I was looking for! An airy scent – more an evocation of emotions than a perfume, really. It doesn’t overwhelm or leave a trail of fragrance, but it’s there the entire day, giving the impression that my body is emitting it, like a halo of light. I disagree with a previous comment that there is no mystery to this fragrance and that it is but a pleasant yet one-dimensional scent. The more I smell this perfume, the more nuances and contradictions I pick up. It leads me on an almost Hegel-like spiral of consciousness: first I smell youth and happiness, then maturity and loss, then an angel-like purity, then a more sultry femininity, then back to youth, etc. etc. The best comparison I can come up with is Barbara Bonney’s voice. Although light and radiant, it sounds equally in place voicing an angel in heaven in Mozart’s “Exsultate, jubilate” or the haunting winter wind in Previn’s “Vocalise”. Ange ou Demon - Le Secret smells just the same way.

I have the initial version of this gem. So sad it was reformulated!!! I still have some of it left. I had a 100ml bottle of it, but lost a box. So I decanted it into atomizer, and put it away from the elements, use it only on special occasions. Ridiculous as it sounds, I still keep the bottle, do not ask me why. It is long lasting, around 10 hours on me. Starts with cranberry, lemon and tea. It's almost mouthwatering. I can fill the sourness, bitterness and the sharpness of the cranberries, the real forest berries. Have you ever tried one??? It is so well blended into patch-jasminy goodness, that I can name them (patch and jasmine) THE base notes. I can vouch for the staying power of this juice. Then again, people are different. For example, Shalimar does not stay on me more than 30 min, and the only note I get is Leather from the Perfume version , and Bergamot from everything else in the line. Maybe I'm a Jasmine person.

I got my bottle of ange ou demon le secret winter 2011 and it has brought me nothing but constant enjoyment. The fragrance is fresh, sparkling, subtle, and multi-faceted. The strongest component to ADLE is the strong green tea note. 2nd is command is lemon and cranberry, which create a sweet/tart combination that reminds me of something almost starbucks. The floral heart is soft, watery, and just a little bit powdery. It tickles my nose in a way, it's brighter than you would expect. The dry down of patchouli and wood make ADLE extra special, I'm not sure I would have liked this fragrance as much if it had an incredibly light base. The fragrance so far has been so effervescent, like twinkling lights. The base adds this kick, although the fragrance remains delicate as a whole. I've worn ADLE on new years eve, special occasions, and dates. To me it is a great fragrance to wear for a day you're feeling optimistic.

Basically if you like the general idea of Flowerbomb Victor&Rolf, but hate the surypy sweetness it has, you can try Le secret flanker and you will not be disappointed, in my opinion. Green? Are you kidding me? Nothing green here, or I must be testing a wrong perfume, sorry. Fresh and citrusy, yes. Overall, this is a very good blend of fruit and floral. Very balanced feminine scent. The right amount of sweet, not a sugar bomb, but just enough. Drydown: imagine that you're drinking a fruity tea with some sugar-lemon candy thingies that we throw somethimes in the tea instead of sugar or lemon. Dries soft and balmy. Now this is not anything groundbreaking, but worthy of a sniff... similar perfumes that come to my mind are Eau Tendre Chanel and Eros Pour Femme Versace, which of course is far more sugary. Sweet done right. A yes from me

This is a great fragrance. So clean and refreshing. The floral and citrus are mixed just right. I was sitting next to my mom and asked her what perfume she was wearing because I kept getting whiffs of it and it smelled so good. She said she didn't have perfume on and I remembered I had sprayed a little in the crook of my elbow to test it. That great smell was me!!! That to me was assurance that I'd picked a winner. I'll probably save it for spring as it is winter now and it seems to be one of those really uplifting perfumes when you're in a really happy, peppy mood and just want to be cute and sexy and confident. Not a mature fragrance but also not a super young teen toothache perfume. It's a carefree lovely scent that just makes me say "ahhhh.... I smell great today!"

Wow! This perfume has such a beautiful, pleasant scent that I wish I could wear it every hour of the day. The perfume has a very fresh and sparkling smell, which then becomes floral and very green. There is a tad bit of sweetness (from the cranberry note) that really transforms the scent and makes it feminine and flirty. I'd say that this scent would be a bit more of a sophisticated floral because of how the ingredients are layered and creates that pleasant aura when it lasts =) The only negative for me would be that the scent lasts for a short period. However, I received many compliments from friends (males and females) and family. I would definitely recommend this scent for a person whom prefers a fresh, light but also feminine, flirty and playful scent.

EDIT: Apparently other people around me could smell this. They acknowledge that i'm wearing perfume and they said i smell very nice. Hahaha really don't know what is wrong with my nose Too soft, i barely could smell this :( Got this as a vial, i really need to dab it quite a lot if i want to smell it. Otherwise i almost smell nothing. This such an unfortunate because Ange ou Demon Le Secret actually a beautiful scent. Is it because of the name Le Secret that we can hardly smell anything? In a very short time which i could smell the scent, i got the white flowers, jasmine and green tea leaves. Very well blended. And i also got the lemon a bit before all gone.. Really really sad because this could be a very beautiful scent if only we could smell it

This was my 1st Ange Ou Demon and wow... one of the best perfumes i have had! So so elegant, intriguing, mysterious, flirty and oh so feminine. Delicate like a flower and precious like puppy love. =) This is definitely the Ange (angel) and not the demon of the collection. It's a tad sweet but powdery and fresh at the same time. I would consider it a unique scent... if u haven't had a go at the rest of the Ange Ou Demon collection. A definite must have! P.S. Pls don't let the negative reviews scare u off... everyone has the right to have an opinion but to hate on this with a passion is beyond me... LOL...i find that the perfumes that evoke such passionate hate from ppl are usually the best! Enjoy =p U can follow me on YouTube @ BeautyOnSale

This is one of my new faves. I love this one, at first sniff I thought it was unremarkable but my husband convinced me to give it another sniff but I wanted Givenchy Play. Then one weekend I was walking by in the Bay department store and a sales associate handed me the card with the perfume on it.... I fell in love, I had to have it!! So I went and bought, even before trying on my skin!! When I put it on, I feel like most on here, it is very energizing. I smell the cranberry predominantly and a hint of tea. I feel like I'm on fire wearing this and I think it energizes me to the extent I am actually more productive! The only drawback is the longevity is a little on the short side... but an excuse to layer it on and it smells wonderful|!

This is my favorite perfume of all time since 2014, and I used to work at the Macy's fragrance counter so I've smelled a lot of perfumes, but none even come close to this beauty. It's such a complex floral, containing all 3 of my favorite floral notes, and my favorite base note, patchouli. It's my personality rolled into one bottle; ultra-feminine (the delicate florals), artistic (woodiness of the patchouli and woods), and a bit edgy (tartness of the lemon and cranberry), hence the secret I guess. It doesn't last long and it's expensive, and I hope they continue to manufacture it forever. It only lasts a couple of hours and doesn't have good sillage but I'm so in love with it that I don't mind.

I stumbled upon Ange ou Demon Le Secret by chance, and it was love at first sniff. I have never been a fan of the original Ange ou Demon and thankfully the two are polar opposites. Le secret is simple, clean, fresh and sexy. This is one of my most complimented perfumes. The blend of tea, citrus and floral is beautiful and is always my go to perfume when I don't know what to wear or when I'm feeling a little stressed out. I just find it to be really calming. It is best worn in spring and summer, but I tend to wear it year round because I enjoy it that much. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh and sexy perfume that is appropriate for any setting.

This is definitely a fresh fragrance; that is an absolutely perfect way to describe it. Oh and beautiful. I have always loved scents with green tea in them and there are so few that are actually of good quality. I'm so glad I finally found this! I was recommended so many different frags with a tea note in them but they either didn't last, didn't smell of tea, or didn't smell good at all. Finally, a wonderful sales woman (well she was actually more of a fragrance expert) in a little boutique in Key West recommended this to me and I've been in love ever since. It is the best and most high quality rendition of a fresh green tea/citrus scent in my opinion.

Es el mejor perfume que tengo, para mi es totalmente perfecto, su olor es único, sofisticado (fino) y misterioso pero también es suave y fresco pero con una gran presencia y estela, no pasas desapercibido con el, es un olor que se siente por todos lados más no es agobiante ni tan pesado, este perfume va totalmente con su nombre delicado pero a la vez misterioso y seductor sin abrumar haciéndote casi adicto a el. Me gustan los perfumes dulces y abrumadores pero con este me enamore, no se para que edades esta recomendada esta fragancia pero yo tengo 19 años y me encanta, por cierto lo descubrí a los 12 años y lo uso desde entonces. Súper recomendado
