Sacred and infernal in the performance of "ZHivanshi": perfume "Ange ou Demon"

According to famous perfumers, "Ange ou Demon" is the most successful achievement of the house "Givenchy". With the receipt of this fragrance on the shelves of stores in 2006, the demand for it does not fall to this day. What makes this composition so popular? Stylish bottle in the form of frozen tears? Star names of authors or just a name? One can not but agree that the name of the spirits is chosen very successfully: in each person, heavenly, angelic qualities are combined with demonic ones. In someone they struggle, in someone - they peacefully coexist.

Because of this duality of human nature, the spirits "Ange ou Demon" fit all without exception. Authors of perfume - Zh.P. Betuar and O. Cresp - and this time fully justified their reputation as a star. No wonder they worked in the homes of Moschino, Kenzo and Versace - ZHivanshi they also did not disappoint. His contribution to the popularity of perfume introduced and designer Serge Manso, who invented the original form of the bottle. But the main share of the public's attention was provided by the songs of the eldest daughter of Dominique de Velpin, a high-ranking official of France. However, the house ZHivanshi did not immediately understand what luck came to them in the face of a modest 20-year-old girl named Marie Steyss.

Having planned a presentation of a new fragrance for 2006, the trading house began to look for a face for "Ange ou Demon". At the casting, the mentioned Marie was selected, and only after she shot for posters in the form of an angel and a demon, employers found out her real name. This little intrigue only gave the spirits additional popularity. On the wave of success, Givenchy released variations on the theme of "Angel and Demon": "Le Secret" (2006), "Tendre" (2007) and "Diamantissime" (2009). In fact, in all versions, the main theme of the composition is preserved, except that "Tendre" is a light version.

The secrets of marketing and skillful promotion mean a lot, but they would not have made "Ange ou Demon" fragrance number 1 for many years, if not for the amazing smell of perfume. The composition with all certainty can be attributed to a class of floral, somewhat sweetish flavors. But fans of cold or woody notes should not immediately immediately reject the spirits unconditionally. In winter they are revealed in a special way. They are appropriate to apply before going to a party or a romantic date. The basis of the composition are vanilla, oak and rosewood. Against this backdrop, the heart sound of the ylang-ylang, the lily and the delicate orchid sound deeply. And finish the composition of "spices": saffron and white thyme, softened by the aroma of the Calabrian mandarin.

In 2010, the house "ZHivanshi" presented a gift to lovers of chypre fragrances, and released "Ange au Demon d'Hiver Santal". According to one name of this "tuning" of "Angel and Demon", one can guess that the dominant note here is a sandalwood tree. Immediately after application on the skin, a strong odor of incense with a cherry flavor is clearly heard. Lovers of light and dynamic smells, do not worry, wait 10 minutes. The fragrance will become more fresh, "green" and at the same time remain as mysterious, bewitching, sweet as diabolical temptation. In the train one can smell the lily - the symbol of angelic innocence, among other things.

Now "Angel Demon", in addition to different variations of the basic flavor, is produced in various perfume products: perfume itself, toilet water, perfumed water and even shower gel, body lotion and deodorant spray. This fragrance is kept unchanged by the faithfulness of actress Cameron Diaz and singer Madonna, and their image does not suggest that these divas use "heavy" and sugary perfume. On the contrary, "Angel and Demon" is characterized by elegant, purely French chic and aristocratic, and at the same time, some unpredictability and playfulness.
