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.
This one's a proper British conundrum. Some find it a fresh, grown-up vanilla with a unique spicy kick, like a refined confection. Others say it's more medicinal fennel than delicious, with a surprisingly weak performance typical of Jo Malone. A divisive scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
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.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its soft spicy and powdery accords, combined with general community consensus of light sillage and moderate longevity, make it ideal for casual wear and the office. It's a bit too subdued for formal events and not invigorating enough for sport, but could work for an intimate date.
