Review of Givenchy Ange Ou Demon Eau de Parfum Spray

Seduced me the second time round!

Advantages: Long - lasting, more complex than its eau de parfum version
Disadvantages: Single-themed, predictable, a spinoff of Ange ou Demon

...Launched: 2008 Classification: Chypre floral Introduction Ange ou Demon Tendre (Tender) or Ange ou Demon Eau de Toilette is the lighter, eau de toilette version of its sister fragrance Ange ou Demon (or Ange ou Etrange as it's called as in certain countries. I received Ange ou Demon Eau de Parfum as a present 2 years ago and after a couple of uses I left it untouched. I saw Ange ou Demon Tendre appear in February this year marketed as the tender, lighter Ange ou Demon and have finally got round to sample it. The packaging The sculpted beauty of the bottle is made after its predecessor and is a chiselled raindrop shaped bottle which at the bottom starts out as a semi-transparent dark blue and finishes as crystalline clear at the emaciated top including the lid.

Review of Ange Ou Demon Tendre Eau De Toilette Spray

More angel than demon

Advantages: Unique bottle
Disadvantages: Bit samey

...I bought this perfume about two years ago now after having been given some House of Fraser gift vouchers for a birthday and when I went in there it had just been launched and there were sales girls all over the place offering a spray to try it out so eventually I gave in and tried it. I liked it so I impulsively bought it though now I do try and test scents out on at least two separate occasion to be sure I like it enough to use if for a long time after. The packaging for this is great. It is a pentahedron shaped glass bottle which is clear glass at the bottom but as you move up the bottle and on towards the lid it turns black so it plays on the name of the perfume - ange ou demon - (angel or demon from the French) with its refernces to light and dark. Nice symbolism I thought. I also rather like the shape of the bottle, it's rather...

Review of Givenchy Ange Ou Demon Eau de Parfum Spray

Addicted to the OU!!

Advantages: uuummm, everything!!
Disadvantages: the apparent difference in tutors marking

...for something, whereas other people may be praised for doing exactly what i was told off for! I suffer from M.E, and the Disabled Student team have been so helpful. I've had no exams as yet, but they have said they will supply transport if i need it, and if I want, someone will come to my house where I can do the exam in my own surroundings, which I think is fantastic. For anyone thinking about doing a course with the OU, I say go for it!! I was sceptical, but now I've started, I can't stop....

Review of Lust, Caution - Eileen Chang

A masterpiece of Lee Ang

Advantages: Beautiful martial art display
Disadvantages: none so far

...Lee Ang, one of my favourite directors, has combined martial art with classical story theme for his new movie, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. The story is actually based on a novel by Wang Du Lu. The main leading male actor, Chow Yun Fat, who acts as King Mongkut in Anna and the King, portrays Li Mu Bai, a legendary martial art expert. He has a Green Destiny sword which he asked Yu Shu Lien (portrayed by Michelle Yeoh) to pass on to a friend, and this sword was stolen by Jen (portrayed by Zhang Ziyi). Following that, a lot of misunderstandings and fightings arose. The rest is up to you to watch. Yuen Wooping, the action choreographer for the movie, presents the action flicks using bamboo trees, using different camera angles and showing the flexibility of the young Zhang Ziyi and Michelle Yeoh. The actors and actresses have to...

Review of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (DVD)

Life, love and the OU

Advantages: you can study in your own time, at home
Disadvantages: Fell isolated ( only at first)

...to wait. D-Day: a package came through the door- my life as I knew it was over!!! I gingerly opened the package and leafed through my first book - and it was so easy to follow. the books are laid out in a very easy format and have icons to guide you to what to do next. Also in the pack was some other paper work. Some forms, a timetable, CD-roms and a contents list. - A bit of advice here sit everything out and check you have everything on the list, I have learnt through experience that this saves a last minute panic when you have no form to send you assignments in with!!!. They also include details of your tutor for the year, this normally also ends up being your guidance tutor for the duration of your studies. You also get details for registering for First class, this is a great source of support and information. I found the first...

Murder in T'ang China

Advantages: A fine detective novel
Disadvantages: May find it slow and strange

...been aware of them. They were written by a Dutch Diplomat and authority on Chinese culture Robert Van Gulik(1910-1967). The hardcover originals are now somewhat of a collectors item, though a specialist item. He was dismayed by the western detective novels that were available at that time and took his inspiration from 17th century Chinese detective fiction. The main character Judge Dee is a real person who lived from 630AD to 700AD.Some of his history is included as historical notes in these books. Weather the Judge actually solved all the cases attributed to him is something that we are unable to judge from this perspective of time. Let me try to give you some sort of background information. I have gone into some detail as most people will not be familiar with this period of history. This is the period of the T'ang...
