Givenchy L’Ange Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Émilie Coppermann. L’Ange Noir opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Almond, settles into a heart of Sesame and Iris, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean. Givenchy's L’Ange Noir carries a Favourite verdict, an iris-led wear.

This one's a divisive stunner. A love-it-or-hate-it 'lipstick' scent, L'Ange Noir is either a sexy, sophisticated powdery dream or a waxy, 'rotten sesame' nightmare. Go light on the trigger and definitely try before you buy, unless you're feeling adventurous.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

While its powdery nature might feel cozy for casual wear, the strong, distinctive nature of L'Ange Noir makes it a more suitable choice for date nights or formal events. It's too assertive for an office setting and totally out of place for sport.

About

L'Ange Noir unfolds with a peculiar yet intriguing blend of deep iris and toasted almond, providing a distinct 'makeup bag' or 'lipstick' aroma. The unexpected sesame note adds a nutty, almost savory warmth, creating a waxy, creamy texture. As it settles, it reveals a powdery base of tonka bean, bringing a nuanced sweetness that is more mature and less overtly gourmand.
