Here comes another Demeter fragrance, and fortunately not one that smells bad or strange! :D
No, today it's about Devils Food, which initially made me wonder what that even means. I mean, what is the name supposed to mean? Food from the devil???
Nooooo! Devils Food is actually a type of cake, more specifically a chocolate cake (oh yes, now everyone is paying attention, right?)! It’s a cake where the chocolate content is higher than that of regular chocolate cakes and usually even two chocolate frostings are used (oh, stop drooling already! :D). This makes the chocolate cake particularly chocolatey and also darker than what you might be used to.
By the way, there is also a cake called Angel Food Cake (no, it’s not by Thierry Mugler…!) which is the exact opposite of this cake here. Angel Food is therefore light, airy, very fluffy, but is of course also supposed to be very delicious.
I’m not sure how Devil Food Cake smells (or why it was named that), but I assume it will smell wonderful, so let’s get to the scent:
The Scent:
Great, as expected, with the first spray you immediately get a craving! It actually smells IMMEDIATELY like delicious delicious YUMMY cake :D
You can smell the moist cake, from which you can somehow taste everything… uh, I mean smell everything: The chocolate frosting on top, the actual chocolate cake body, which smells just like the freshly baked cake batter, and of course a whole bunch of sweet, chocolatey notes like milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and cocoa. There’s also a hint of powdery vanilla. I just don’t really perceive the mentioned sugar.
The scent is, like almost all chocolate fragrances, a true delight for the palate… uh,… or here rather “delight for the nose” and smells heavenly… hmm…. or in this case more devilishly, making it worth the sin :D
Oh,… you might have already guessed it: The very late base smells, once again, almost only of vanilla :D
The Sillage and Longevity:
The projection is normal. Initially strong, the projection then settles into a normal range, so you can be noticed without overwhelming the entire surroundings.
The longevity is above average, which is somehow short for a fragrance with vanilla in it. Because after six or seven hours, the scent becomes noticeably weaker and gradually fades away.
The Bottle:
Well… you know my opinion about Demeter bottles. Simple, rectangular, practical with an overloaded label, on which the fragrance name is printed on a strip that is, of course, chocolate brown this time. It would have been much nicer if the labels had a small motif on them, like a picture of a piece of cake or something.
Hmm, the scent smells… well, who can guess it already? Of course: Delicious. I mean it smells like chocolate and cake,… chocolate cake then. Who could possibly resist that?! I must admit, though, that I also quite like fruitcake, mu ha ha ha :D
Anyway, you can use the scent well if you want to get a craving or something :D
But maybe it also fits in autumn and winter as an outing fragrance, since it smells sweet and indeed delicious. It could be worth a try, although the sillage does lose strength over time.
Yes, yes, Devils Food is thus a cake, a type of chocolate cake! One might think that in hell, they would only eat cake, of course chocolate cakes or tortes… which might just turn you ladies into “Bad Girls” so you can go to hell just to eat all the chocolate cakes. But I can reassure you, you don’t need to become bad girls, because just the way you treat me here (“DonJuan, test this! DonJuan, test that! DonJuan, you’re a nerd! DonJuan, you’re a freak! etc. etc. …), you’ll all end up in hell anyway, mu ha ha ha ha!!!!!
