According to famous perfumers, "Ange ou Demon" is the most successful achievement of the house "Givenchy". Since the arrival of this fragrance on store shelves in 2006, the demand for it has not fallen to this day. What makes this song so popular? Stylish bottle in the form of a frozen tear? Star names of the authors or just the title? One cannot but agree that the name chosen for the spirits is very successful: in each person heavenly, angelic qualities are combined with demonic ones. In someone they fight, in someone they coexist peacefully.
Because of this duality of human nature, "Ange ou Demon" perfume is suitable for everyone without exception. The authors of the perfume are J. P. Betuar and O. Cresp - and this time fully justified their reputation as stars. No wonder they worked in the houses of Moschino, Kenzo and Versace - Givenchy, they also did not disappoint. The designer Serge Manso, who inventedoriginal bottle shape. But the main share of the public's attention was provided by the eldest daughter of Dominique de Velpin, a high-ranking French official. However, the house of Givenchy did not immediately understand what kind of luck sailed into their hands in the face of a modest 20-year-old girl named Marie Steiss.
Having outlined the presentation of a new fragrance for 2006, the trading house began to look for a face for "Ange ou Demon". At the casting, the mentioned Marie was selected, and only after she starred for posters in the form of an angel and a demon, employers found out her real name. This little intrigue only added to the perfume's popularity. In the wake of Givenchy's success, they released variations on the theme of "Angel and Demon": "Le Secret" (2006), "Tendre" (2007) and "Diamantissime" (2009). In fact, the main theme of the composition is preserved in all variants, except that "Tendre" is a lighter version.
Marketing secrets and skillful promotion mean a lot, but even they would not have made "Ange ou Demon" the No. 1 fragrance for many years if it were not for the amazing smell of perfume. The composition with all confidence can be attributed to the class of floral, somewhat sweet aromas. But lovers of cold or woody notes should not immediately reject perfume unconditionally. In winter, they open up in a special way. It is appropriate to apply them before going to a party or a romantic date. The base of the composition is vanilla, oak and rosewood. Against this background, ylang-ylang, lily and tenderorchid. And the “spices” complete the composition: saffron and white thyme, softened by the aroma of Calabrian mandarin.
In 2010 Givenchy presented a gift to lovers of chypre fragrances and released "Ange au Demon d'Hiver Santal". One can guess from the name of this "tuning" of "Angel and Demon" that the predominant note here is sandalwood. Immediately after application, the viscous smell of incense with a cherry flavor is clearly heard on the skin. Connoisseurs of light and dynamic scents, don't be discouraged, wait 10 minutes. The fragrance will become more fresh, "green" and at the same time remain as mysterious, bewitching, sweet, like a devilish temptation. The trail smells like a lily - a symbol of angelic innocence, by the way.
Now "Angel Demon", in addition to different variations of the main fragrance, is available in various perfume products: perfume itself, eau de toilette, eau de parfum and even shower gel, body lotion and deodorant spray. Actress Cameron Diaz and singer Madonna remain faithful to this fragrance, and their image does not at all suggest that these divas use "heavy" and cloying perfumes. On the contrary, "Angel and Demon" is characterized by elegant, purely French chic and aristocracy, and at the same time a certain unpredictability and playfulness.
