Ange ou Demon Tendre
by Givenchy
A refined, ethereal floral chypre with a crisp, fresh opening of lily-of-the-valley, orange blossom, and citrus, leading into a soft, powdery heart dominated by heliotrope and delicate white florals. The drydown reveals a quiet, woody-sandalwood base with a subtle, earthy patchouli and Brazilian rosewood, lending an intriguingly melancholic and intimate depth. While not as intense or bold as the original Ange ou Demon, Tendre maintains the signature elegance and mysterious aura, evolving into a captivatingly clean and sophisticated scent that feels both luminous and introspective. Its soft sillage and long-lasting trail make it comfortably wearable for day or night, particularly in cooler months. The fragrance leans more toward an elegant, slightly androgynous sensuality rather than overt sweetness, and its quiet power tends to surprise the wearer with longevity and complexity over time.
