Ange ou Demon Tendre

I love this! Total absolute love for this outstanding chypre!! For me it works in all weather but seems to shine even more in cooler, wet weather. This is pure luxury. I agree with others who have commented on the powder note. Beautiful!! On me it dries down to a wonderfully sophisticated angelic ethereal powder. Cmoca describes it as having a watermelony patchouli iris aspect which I identify with. However, the word cold also comes to mind when I wear Ange ou Demon Tendre, an amazingly cold and wet patchouli on rosewood. To be honest I bought this on a whim, going more by the fact that I loved Ange ou Demon Le Secret Elixir and quite enjoyed the Eau de Parfum. Now I think this may be my favourite of the 3 and it definitely lives up to it's name. This is such an interesting scent, there is a good dose of masculinity to it and an almost salty note, reminiscent of Lancome O de L'Orangerie. These 2 are not at all the same but I find I also get that salty note in O de L'Orangerie. I find this to be so unusual and wonderfully intriguing! I never get bored! As as side note I have found that it works well when I combine it with Stella esp if I would like a little more warmth, sweetness or dare I say... normality.

This is soft and enveloping, soothing, unique and absolutely gorgeous. Heliotrope gives a creamy and vanillic quality to the scent, and patchouli is light and very clean without being sharp or sterile. Even though it doesn't smell like laundry, I wish my bed sheets would smell like this because this is the perfect scent to fall asleep with. Angelic indeed. But there is still something dangerous about it, the demon is quietly waiting in the corner. It's addictive, narcotic. It smells almost too clean and soft at first. And then an hour later, I can't stop sniffing my hand. It's a crime to have discontinued this perfume. Update : Ghost Dream has a similar heliotrope-patchouli base. It's not as unique as Ange ou Démon Tendre as it doesn't have the same beautiful lily, but it has the same angelic and ethereal vibe, and most importantly, it isn't discontinued.

Ange ou Demon is my favorite perfume, so I picked up this version in my quest to own all the Ange ou Demon. I am amazed at how much this resembles the original. The notes are petty different, but they really smell almost identical. This version is just less intense, as advertised. Less longevity and silage than original, but very similar scent. I don't consider original a safe blind buy and same would go for this. I absolutely love it with it being so similar to my ultimate love of the original. Still prefer the original, but this would be easier to wear around others/strangers.

I love this perfume so much. It has been my signature scent eversince I fell in love with it when I got a sample of it when I was about 11 years old. I'm normally not really a fan of pure floral scents but I immediately liked this one without being conscious of the fact it was such a floral scent. Ange ou Démon Tendre is a very clean and classy perfume. It's soft, not too present and suitable for every season and every occasion. To be honest I can't immagine someone hating it. The bottle is beautiful too, one of the most beautiful bottles if not the most beautiful I have.

In spite of being a female perfume, I fell in love with it when I first met its wonderful smell. The sweet notes of this perfume are not agressive as the majorite of the women's fragrances that has floral tones and strong aldehydes. In here, everything is creamy, slightly floral and powdery. For me, all the steps of its evolution are wonderful and I dare say that lots of men would wear it with easy. Besides that, its bottle it's totally modern and beautiful. One more time, Givenchy shows its qualities!
