Givenchy Ange ou Demon Le Secret Elixir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Bernard Ellena. Ange ou Demon Le Secret Elixir opens with Lemon, Neroli, and Tea, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Givenchy's Ange ou Demon Le Secret Elixir carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive elixir that swings from sparkling tea to a moody deep floral. Some get 'grape soda', others 'pure art'. It's bold yet intimate, making it a head-turner that sadly often fades too fast.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate sillage and often-reported short longevity, combined with its alluring and sometimes 'grape-y' sweetness, make it best suited for dates and special evenings. While too bold for an everyday office scent, it has enough elegance to work for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Ange ou Demon Le Secret Elixir opens with a surprising initial burst of zesty lemon and invigorating tea, quickly entwining with the creamy, exotic sweetness of frangipani and classic jasmine. The heart blossoms into a rich, white floral bouquet, infused with a hint of tropical warmth. As it settles, a soft, sensual base of vanilla-kissed patchouli and musky cedar emerges, grounding the earlier light notes with a sophisticated depth.
