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.
Perfume Parlour's budget version of Givenchy Ange ou Demon, that saffron-and-lily oriental floral. It captures the spectacular saffron opening and powdery vanilla-tonka drydown, just rendered flatter and with the original's 8-hour reach trimmed back.

Performance
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
The saffron, lily and powdery vanilla-woods base lean warm and rich, blooming best in autumn and winter while staying wearable on cooler spring days.
Occasions
Sensual and a little mysterious, it suits dates and formal evenings most, with enough softness for an everyday wear in cold weather.
