Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2007, Ange ou Demon Tendre by Givenchy is a chypre floral fragrance created by perfumer Olivier Cresp. The composition opens with the freshness of mandarin orange and lily-of-the-valley, creating an immediate sense of crispness and brightness. This gives way to a heart of orange blossom and heliotrope, which adds warmth and sweetness without becoming overpowering. The base notes of patchouli and Brazilian rosewood provide depth and a subtle earthiness that grounds the fragrance.
Apply lightly to pulse points — the citrus and fresh florals are bright but dissipate quickly. The patchouli base develops slowly over time, so one or two sprays is enough for a lasting effect that grows on you throughout the day.
