Givenchy Ange ou Demon Le Secret - 2014 Edition Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray

Givenchy Ange ou Démon Le Secret Eau de Parfum 100ml — 2014 Edition is the reformulated version of the brand's 2009 women's signature, recomposed by perfumer Bernard Ellena. Built around a sparkling green-tea opening, a luminous white-floral heart and a soft, woody-amber drydown, the composition is a fresh, contemporary alternative to the heavier original Ange ou Démon (2006). Italian winter lemon, cranberry and tea leaves open the fragrance; Crystal Sambac jasmine, white peony and water lily form the heart; and a base of light tree wood and patchouli leaves a quiet, polished trail.

The story behind Le Secret

Ange ou Démon Le Secret was conceived as the lighter, more transparent counterpart to the original Ange ou Démon — the "secret" of an angel-or-demon woman, expressed through a luminous floral rather than the original's denser oriental signature. The 2014 reformulation refined the composition further, leaning more on tea-and-jasmine clarity and reducing the sweetness of the earlier version. The bottle keeps the recognisable bowed-shape silhouette in clear glass with delicate metal accents.

Who it's for

Le Secret 2014 suits women drawn to clean, contemporary white florals with a sophisticated tea-and-citrus character — wearers of fragrances like Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline, Elie Saab Le Parfum, or Calvin Klein Beauty, who appreciate something a little more polished and Parisian-leaning. Best in spring and summer, but versatile enough for cooler-weather wear; ideal for office, dinner and casual evening contexts.

How to wear it

1. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, base of the throat, behind the ears — from around 15cm.
2. Two to three sprays for daytime; build up gently for longer evening wear.
3. Apply over an unscented body lotion to extend longevity, particularly on dry skin.
