Which Should You Buy?
Givenchy's 'Ange ou Demon' is a truly divisive scent- one sniff and you'll either be captivated by its enigmatic embrace or you'll recoil from its peculiar charm. This is for the bold, not the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it kind of potion.
No. 284 leans on Givenchy Ange ou Demon's spicy-floral-vanilla frame but plays it flatter and louder: the saffron-thyme opening arrives brighter and thinner, the vanilla-tonka base is sweeter and less resinous, and both projection and longevity trail the original within a few hours.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and unique, polarising character make it unsuitable for office wear, but its alluring depth is perfect for dates and evening events. While some find it versatile for daily wear, its strength and rich accords lean away from casual or sport settings, shining instead in cooler environments.
