Product Overview and Characteristics
Ange ou Demon, GIVENCHY Fragrance Oil is a testament to 100% European quality. Its opalescent liquid form offers ease of integration into various formulations. The scent profile is a complex and alluring blend: a dominant floral oriental character interwoven with intriguing notes of thyme, mandarin, saffron, ylang-ylang, orchid, lily, vanilla, palisander, and rosewood. This rich tapestry of aromas creates a distinctly feminine fragrance that is both mysterious and elegant.
One of the standout features of this fragrance oil is its excellent solubility. It dissolves easily in alcohols such as ethanol, propylene glycol, perfumery alcohol, benzyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, isopropyl myristate, and diethyl phthalate, maintaining solution transparency. It also mixes perfectly with oils, making it a highly adaptable ingredient. Notably, it is insoluble in water, a crucial characteristic for specific product formulations. The recommended usage rate varies from 0.1% to 5%, depending on the application, with a convenient suggestion to create a 10% perfume concentrate that shouldn't exceed 8% in the final cosmetic product.

Instructions for Preparation:
- Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment, containers, and work surfaces.
- Phase A: In a heat-resistant beaker, combine distilled water, glycerin, and hydrolat (if using). Heat gently to 70-75°C (158-167°F).
- Phase B: In a separate heat-resistant beaker, combine shea butter, sweet almond oil, emulsifying wax, and cetyl alcohol. Heat gently to 70-75°C (158-167°F) until all solids are melted.
- Emulsification: Slowly pour Phase B into Phase A while continuously mixing with an immersion blender or stick blender. Blend until a stable emulsion forms (it will look creamy). Continue blending intermittently as the lotion cools to room temperature (around 30-35°C or 86-95°F).
- Phase C: Once the lotion has cooled sufficiently, add Vitamin E oil, Panthenol, and the preservative. Mix thoroughly until evenly incorporated.
- Fragrance Addition: Finally, add the Ange ou Demon, GIVENCHY Fragrance Oil at your desired concentration (start with 0.5% and add more in small increments if a stronger scent is desired, up to 1.5%). Mix well to ensure even distribution.
- Packaging: Transfer the finished lotion into clean, sterilized pump bottles or jars.
Application Recommendations:
- Dosage: The recommended usage rate for Ange ou Demon, GIVENCHY Fragrance Oil in cosmetic products generally ranges from 0.1% to 5%.
