Ange ou Demon Fragrance Oil, GIVENCHY: Unleash Enigmatic Elegance
Unlock the captivating allure of Ange ou Demon with this exquisite fragrance oil, directly inspired by the iconic GIVENCHY perfume. Crafted in France, this opalescent liquid is a testament to 100% European quality, offering a complex and alluring feminine aroma that will elevate your cosmetic creations. With its unique blend of floral and oriental notes, this fragrance oil is designed to infuse your products with an unforgettable, sophisticated essence.
Product Overview and Characteristics
The Ange ou Demon Fragrance Oil is a versatile, high-quality liquid designed for cosmetic applications. Its opalescent color is a visual indicator of its rich composition. This oil boasts excellent solubility in alcohols such as ethanol, propylene glycol, perfumer's alcohol, benzyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, isopropyl myristate, and diethyl phthalate, maintaining solution clarity. It also mixes perfectly with oils but is insoluble in water, making it ideal for oil-based formulations and products with an alcoholic base. Crucially, it has undergone dermatological analysis and is harmless, ensuring its safety for use in products that come into contact with the skin.
The fragrance profile is a masterful blend, starting with floral and oriental top notes, intertwining with the aromatic warmth of thyme, the zesty freshness of mandarin, and the exotic spice of saffron. The heart reveals a luxurious bouquet of ylang-ylang, orchid, and lily, leading to a rich and grounding base of vanilla, palisander, and rosewood. This intricate combination creates a truly enigmatic and distinctly feminine aroma that is both mysterious and captivating.

Preparation Instructions:
- Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment and containers.
- Phase A Preparation: In a heat-safe beaker, combine distilled water, vegetable glycerin, and xanthan gum (if using, whisk well to avoid lumps). Heat to 70-75°C (158-167°F).
- Phase B Preparation: In a separate heat-safe beaker, combine sweet almond oil, shea butter, emulsifying wax, and cetyl alcohol (if using). Heat to 70-75°C (158-167°F) until all solids are melted.
- Emulsification: Slowly pour Phase B into Phase A while continuously stirring with an immersion blender or high-shear mixer. Blend for 3-5 minutes until a thick, stable emulsion forms. Continue stirring occasionally as the mixture cools to about 35-40°C (95-104°F).
- Cool Down Phase: Once the lotion has cooled sufficiently, add Vitamin E oil, panthenol, and your chosen preservative. Mix thoroughly until evenly incorporated.
- Fragrance Addition: Finally, add the Ange ou Demon Fragrance Oil. Start with 0.5% and gradually add more up to 1.5% (or to your desired strength) and mix well.
- Packaging: Transfer the finished lotion into clean, sterilized jars or pump bottles.
Application Recommendations:
- Dermatological Analysis: This fragrance oil has undergone dermatological analysis and is considered harmless for cosmetic use. However, as with any new ingredient, it's always recommended to perform a small patch test on a discreet area of skin before widespread use, especially if you have sensitive skin.
- Usage Percentage: For most leave-on cosmetic products like lotions and creams, an input percentage of 0.5% to 1.5% is generally recommended. For wash-off products like soaps, you can go slightly higher, as indicated by the 0.5% for handmade soap guideline. For candles, up to 5% is suitable.
- Concentrate Creation: For fine perfumery, creating a 10% perfume concentrate first (e.g., 10g fragrance oil in 90g perfumer's alcohol) allows for easier and more precise dilution into your final perfume product. The overall percentage of this concentrate in the final cosmetic product should not exceed 8%.
- Solubility: Remember its insolubility in water. If formulating a water-based product without an oil phase or alcohol, ensure you have an appropriate solubilizer if direct addition is necessary.
- Storage: Store the Ange ou Demon Fragrance Oil in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve its quality and longevity.
- Safety: While deemed harmless, avoid direct contact with undiluted fragrance oil on the skin or eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children.
- Experimentation: This recipe serves as a guide. Feel free to adjust the oil and butter percentages based on your desired skin feel and richness. Always make small test batches when modifying formulations.
