Pact with the Devil...

So it's time for me to write a comment...
I've been circling around the scent for a long time.
It was nothing that I thought would fit my taste! I thought...
And now I can't live without it!
Not just me! My surroundings too!
My affair with the black devil started quite innocently...
A spritz on the wrist at Douglas... That’s when it grabbed me!
Like a drug! Nose constantly back to the wrist!
I waited to write this comment until I was sure of what I could say about it...

At home: Can you wear that chocolate scent today? It smells so pleasant!
At work: Someone here is wearing a damn good perfume today!
Surroundings: Who smells so good here? So aphrodisiac? So pleasant?
Compliments don’t come often.
People don’t dare to admit what they are thinking about the scent.....
How do I perceive it? As a wearer: chocolatey, vanillic, a bit sweet, with a slight citrusy, green freshness.
The scent gives me personally confidence, security but also provocative cheekiness..
It changes my perception of the world.
Makes me more self-assured, bolder, more daring!
The black devil doesn’t suit every woman!
If a woman embraces it, she will be rewarded!
But she also has to be able to handle the consequences: many looks...many sniffing noses...constant presence!
It’s not a wallflower scent...just: Here I am! Scent. Without compromises!
Expects the wearer to have a corresponding wardrobe!

Longevity is grand. My skin smells for 10+ hours! Clothes for days!

Sillage: I perceive it as close to the body, smelling only lightly, unobtrusively!
Completely different in the surroundings....about 1.5 meters (tested after 4 hours...):-)
Preference: cooler seasons.
I believe that with this devil, skin chemistry is extremely important! This is the prerequisite for a successful interaction! This also explains some negative perceptions and comments.
Black Orchid chooses its wearer!

As for me, I am addicted to the scent!
I’ve tried wearing other fragrances in between...unsuccessfully!
My beloved scents suddenly seemed so imperfect to me...

Help, I am lost!
I have signed a pact with the devil!
At least for the cool season!:-)

Thanks for your feedback! Corrections have been made!
It was meant to reflect a stream of thought!
I find it a shame that you focus on trivialities instead of the essentials!
Wishing you a great day!

It's really great! My sample has been empty for a while, partly because Mr. Sensi took it for himself, and it suited him better than me. ;) Maybe I'll get a smaller bottle for next winter since I won't use it often... or who knows... it's tempting! :D

Unfortunately, I couldn't get along with it, nor with the other Tom Ford fragrances. What a shame.

Well, this is the 2nd very good comment about this scent in 2 days. It feels like a dealer is lurking around me, trying to sell me a drug I actually wanted to resist. ;-)
