Givenchy Ange ou Demon Le Secret ~ new fragrance

Givenchy Ange ou Demon Le Secret perfume

Givenchy will launch Ange ou Démon Le Secret, a new fragrance for women fronted by actress Uma Thurman, in August. Le Secret is a flanker to 2006’s Ange ou Démon.

Ange ou Démon Le Secret is a delicate floral developed by perfumer Bernard Ellena. The fragrance notes include cranberry, green tea, citrus, sambac jasmine, white peony, water flower (water lily?), blond woods, white musk and patchouli.

Uma Thurman for Givenchy Ange ou Demon Le Secret

Givenchy Ange ou Démon Le Secret will be available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum. (via marieclaire.fr, osmoz, with many thanks to Mathieu for the information!)

Update: Ange ou Démon Le Secret is intended to represent the “angelic facet”, and is “olfactorily very different” from the original Ange ou Démon. (via cosmeticnews)

          Her proportions looks straaaaaannggee

          I think I remember her doing ads for Louis Vuitton and those were a lot better

            Speaking of that…. When is Bernard and Marc going to finally give us that LUXURY Louis Vuitton Fragrance Set (Womens and Mens) that i have been hoping and waiting for???? Somebody needs to get on the ball there!

            Imagine Louis Vuitton for women in a Custom Carrying Case of the Monogram or Damier Check Canvas and the Bottles in Frosted Lalique Crystal with the Louis Logos all over them… what would it smell like….

            Watermelon, Cucumber, Osmanthus, Neroli, Water Hyacinth, Passionflower, Gingerlily, Coriander, Nutmeg, Leather, Heliotrope, Vetiver Haitian, Narcissus…. I imagine these kind of things… :-D

    I think Uma looks great in that ad! Normally I think she’s kind of ugly….not that I’m a beauty contestant or anything..(.but between Uma and Cameron Diaz, I’m looking better and better!)

    Oh, btw…my daughter, who is a huge Angels and Demons fan is horribly offended by the idea of a fragrance with this name being light and floral….and I quote, “THAT’S JUST WRONG!”
    she’s still kibbitzing about it in the next room….

      I don’t know that AoD sold well (just guessing)…seems curious that they’re bringing out the star power for the flanker & not the original.

        still, the notes are all wrong.

          The original is very Angels and Demons.

            Forgot to add this is the second flanker…the first was Ange ou Demon Tendre…didn’t care for it.

    Uma looks fab – my husband and I completely disagree on her looks; he thinks she is “oogly” (lol), I think she’s amazing looking.

    Re. the flanker – sheesh! I wear AoD in parfum form once in a great while, and it’s okay, but this sounds terrrrrrrrible.

    My stepmom got me a giant bottle of AoD a few years ago and I am slowly working my way though it. It’s not bad, and is wearable, but doesn’t have much to really recommend it. Not sure if I need to even try the flanker.

    I think Uma is gorgeous, too. Although that pic seems a bit High Glam for her.

      I didn’t much like it, but to be honest can’t remember it very well.

    I guess this is the “angels” over the “demons” scent. sounds like something I’d be interested in trying out, but so far haven’t found a Givenchy fragrance I like.

    • Robin
      Posted on 2 July 2009

      I guess, although the original did not strike me as demonic in the least.

    Why are woods always “blond” these days? ; – )

    Uma’s head looks positively massive, as is her left boob. And that dress hemline is riding dangerously skyward…

    • Robin
      Posted on 8 July 2009

      Really? Her head looks normal to me. You’re sure right about the hemline, or lack thereof.

      I haven’t smelled the flanker so couldn’t say…
