    The richest in the world; I adore it and need to get my hands on it again. If anyone knows where to buy it in Argentina, please let me know. Thanks!

  2. liloinblack

    The best I’ve ever tried, and I have less than half a bottle left. I saved it for special occasions, but it looks stunning at night, especially in winter. Perhaps it doesn’t project much, but it lasts incredibly long; even after a shower, it still releases its scent. It has great character: over time, you notice the vanilla and white flowers, whereas at first, it smells like grape sweets. I hope to find it again at a good price.

    The best I’ve tried; I owned it and now I’ve bought it again after searching everywhere because it was discontinued. It’s mysterious, elegant, and citrusy; I sense a grape note even though it’s not listed. It’s such a unique scent that no one else has, it’s one of a kind. I love it.

  4. karlaa21

    Purple: elegant and mysterious, interesting because it’s soft yet has character. It was a gift from my mum; I think it would be difficult to get on my own as it’s discontinued. She had it for a long time and hardly used it, thinking it would suit me. I detect patchouli, vanilla, and musk, but above all the grape accord, which doesn’t appear on the list and is curious. I don’t notice green tea or jasmine, which is a pity. I think it’s unisex, perfect for evening wear with a sexy look or for outings in autumn and winter. It doesn’t project much, but it lasts for ages. It adds an enigmatic touch to my collection.

    Incredible as it may seem, there are still some 50ml bottles left in a perfumery in my town. If anyone is interested, write to me and I’ll act as a courier 😊

    It was delicious! I tried it and bought it. This little perfume suits me all the time (I’ve bought several that sometimes work and other times don’t); I think it suits everyone’s pH. Once I entered a pharmacy chain that sells personal care, books, and sweets; when I paid, the cashier said: ‘It’s you! You smell delicious, you smell like sweets’. Yes! It smelled like grape sweets. On me, it lasted about six hours, and at the end, a very soft sweet floral remained. If it reappears, I’d buy it without hesitation. Similar fragrances are different and don’t stay the same.

    Beautiful perfume, memories of a great love in 2015. What a pity it’s discontinued.

  8. kaiserin

    I loved it; I’m so sorry they’ve discontinued it. I still keep a little bottle, and it has a bit of scent that reminds me of so many lovely moments. People have praised it endlessly, and I remember how happy it made me to wear it. It lasted a long time on skin, clothes, and hair; even people said it stuck to their noses. I loved it, I love it, and I’ll love it forever.

  9. euFloria

    Too beautiful a fragrance. At first, it seems strong, but it settles quickly and leaves a spectacular scent that projects and lasts for ages. As hours pass, it becomes softer but remains delicious. I can’t say which note I like most, but definitely, it’s delicious. My mum used it, and it was noticeable from metres away. It’s incredible how the scent changes on another skin and remains amazing. 10/10.

  10. Very good scent. Among the floral, citrus, and woody notes, I find a little tobacco note at the end, which gives it a sensual touch. Good longevity on skin and excellent projection; it’s one of the perfumes that have received the most praise. Highly recommended. 👌🏻

    Just tried it and it brought back memories of an Avon fragrance I adored, Sentiment. I never thought I’d feel that scent again, but I’m instantly smitten. As soon as I can, I’ll buy one because there are only a few left.

  12. Florrb03

    Beautiful fragrance, one of my most recent purchases. I’ve wanted it for ages and never had the chance. I was going to grab the 30ml, but seeing it was being discontinued, I took the 50ml without hesitation. It’s very long-lasting with an excellent trail and a unique aroma I haven’t found anywhere else (apart from a certain similarity to Ange ou Demon Le Secret). It’s ideal if you want people to recognise you by your scent; it’s unforgettable. It’s not for everyday wear, not because it’s heavy, but because it’s so special. Its longevity is on another level; it’s the longest-lasting of the three years I’ve been testing perfumes. I consider it perfect for weddings or elegant day and night events.

    I owned it for a long time and remember it with great fondness. I loved the trail it left.

  14. According to perfumería Prieto, Givenchy is discontinuing it. I had it at a promotional price and took a 100ml bottle for €42.76, a total bargain. Months passed and I saw it was still at that price, so I relaxed, but this week when I tried to buy another, it wasn’t on their website. I thought they’d made a mistake, as that price is usually for the 30ml, so I sent them a message. They replied very kindly that they were discontinuing it and preparing the stock to return to the brand, but that they still offered the option to buy a few bottles at the promotional price in a special batch. Now I’m waiting for two 100ml bottles. I’ll treasure them like gold, even if it’s just one. I wanted to share this in case you’re lovers of this perfume like me; I refuse to stop wearing it. I’m also considering that perhaps they’ll change the packaging and get rid of the old bottles (I don’t mind), but even so, at that price it’s a steal. Best regards!

  15. I love this perfume. Its aroma is attractive and powerful. I adore it!

  16. I’ve been chasing this fragrance for about five years, here and there, because normally it’s not suitable for every wallet. Finally, a deal appeared and my husband gifted it to me because he knew how much I was longing for it; otherwise, I wouldn’t have bought it (€90 stings, you know! ;P). I remember the first time I heard of it; it was a fresh, clean scent, reminding me of spring, and I fell in love. Now I wear it, and as I said before, I radiate a soft scent, like fruit and flowers; it’s not heavy or cloying at all, not excessively sweet; in fact, I wouldn’t describe it as sweet, certainly not synthetic. I love it; it’s become one of my favourites for everyday wear. I think you can wear it for any occasion and season. If it’s true that I notice it more intimately, that it makes an impression at short distances, well, when I first saw the bottle, I thought it would be heavier, but no, I was wrong; it’s perfect.

    Sisiii, I have it; I always wanted it and now it’s in my hands. I love it; it’s a rich, fresh, mysterious scent that enchants. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of it.

  18. I went to buy a perfume that felt good and left a trail; I had fixed ideas, but the very friendly saleswoman told me she felt this fragrance. I wasn’t entirely sure because I didn’t like the other Ange ou Demon, so she applied it and wow, I fell in love immediately. What an aroma, oh my god, a delight. The truth is, it lasts a long time on me; undoubtedly, each person’s skin plays a primordial role regarding scent and longevity, as some say it doesn’t last at all while others say more or less, and in my case, it lasts, lasts, and lasts. Even with the summer climate in my country, it smells exquisite and doesn’t bother others; on the contrary, they love it.

    Le Secret Elixir is sweet, sensual and feminine. Warning: it is very sweet. It clings to the skin and leaves a trail. I love how it evolves over time. With this one, Givenchy has truly won me over.

  20. I tried it yesterday. I had doubts about the classic Ange ou Démon, but I prefer this Elixir version. It’s similar but richer. Good trail and it lasted over eight hours. It starts citrusy, then cedar and vanilla take over. I’ll be buying it soon; ideal for spring and summer.

    A warm fragrance with good longevity. At first it smells of lime, then the flowers, musk and cedar add warmth. It’s not overpowering but comforting. It suits my skin well and I’ve received compliments on the trail, although I don’t notice it myself. Perhaps it helps that I wear it with my clothes.

    It didn’t last at all on my skin, despite using the full sample. It smells alright but doesn’t make up for such poor longevity.

    Same as the classic but it doesn’t last as long on the skin. I wouldn’t recommend it.

    In this perfume I feel: feminine, sexy and attractive. I feel this way because everyone asks me about the scent. I love it.

  25. I tried it and would never buy it again. I never liked it; it smells like you haven’t put anything on.

  26. Lilita

    I currently use it depending on my mood. When I’m feeling strong and positive, I wear it. It’s floral, citrusy and woody. It lasts well and throughout the day leaves a vanilla scent.

    I adore it; it’s one of my favourites. I wear it daily for work and feel comfortable and uplifted. At first it’s very citrusy, then woody with patchouli. It doesn’t leave a strong trail; it’s an intimate perfume that stays on the skin but is only noticeable if you’re very close. It’s elegant and exotic. I’d give it an 8.

    I bought it a few days ago and WOW, I was surprised that so many people told me how good it smelled. The neroli really stands out on me. It lasted all day, though it softened in the last few hours. I’m a guy and I loved it, just like everyone else.
