Ange ou Demon Eau de Parfum vs Gold Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
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.
Saffron and cardamom over a rose-jasmine heart and a vanilla-amber base. The most opulent thing Saint Hilaire makes, and the one member of the range that reads properly unisex.

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
Saffron, amber, vanilla and sandalwood are heavy, heat-amplified materials, and the rose-jasmine heart becomes overpowering in high summer. Cold weather is where the sweetness reads as comforting rather than suffocating.
Occasions
A rich saffron-rose-amber with real projection is built for evenings, dinners and occasions, and it is far too loud for a shared office. Sport is not a consideration here.
