I had a mix up and I realized that this isn't the one I hate...it's the one I love! The original Black orchid is what I don't like.

So, I fell in love with Black Orchid... however, this Black Orchid Voile de Fleur was horrid! I was expecting from it as much of a surprising impact as the original Black Orchid had on me, but as soon as I spritzed it, blech! It was gross. The black truffle note really set me off. It's a very heavy fragrance, kinda weighed my nose down. Could just be me, but it was similar to Aquolina's Chocolovers, only stronger. Chocolate tastes good, but not suitable for wearing when it comes to my taste!

What seems to be the case in most reviews is the same... people loved Black Orchid, but weren't too turned on by this one.

My first impression after spraying is that Black Orchid Voile smells like Alupent cough syrup. My husband was on the other side of the room when I sampled this and he said it smelled like (and I quote), "Essence eau Carnivale Midway". While I don't share in my hubbies complete hate for Black Orchid, I certainly don't love it either. Surprisingly, there's hardly any detectable florals here. It has an antiseptic cinnamon scented note which is the most dominiant note on my skin. Even after a hour it hasn't changed, it's very linear and boring. Not my cup of tea. The bottle design is cute tho. I would definiately try before buying.
