Devils Food

Demeter’s Devil’s Food the most straight up realistic and indulgent chocolate gourmand I own. It’s closer to the scent of chocolate frosting than cake, or most accurately a chocolate cupcake with a copious amount of sugary buttercream chocolate frosting. A gentle vanilla note is present, but overall this is for the chocolate lovers. If you’re seeking to smell exactly like a sickly sweet, rich, velvety, warm, chocolatey cupcake— this is it. The fragrance is truly delicious, practically identical to a real mouthwatering, decadent dessert. You can nearly taste it! Great for winter or perhaps fall, especially after dusk. It may also work for some festivities like holidays and playful parties. I originally bought Devil's Food because of the reported similarities to my favorite fragrance, Tokyomilk's Bittersweet, but I wouldn't agree unless you were to layer with something more powdery and floral. Imagine it’s your birthday, and the mood is both lively and cozy. You cut into your layered double chocolate cake and its strong scent fills the air as more and more friends and family members cut their own piece. Yum!

I am reviewing the Demeter Oil Roll-On. Oh my I just want to roll this all over my tongue, I probably could but I don't think it would taste as good as it smells. This is Rich Chocolate Cake Heaven. Starts with a strong bitter chocolate note and is rounded out with wheat, sugar and vanilla. This really is as close to Devil's Food Cake as you can get, frosting and all. You can even smell how moist it is but that could just be the saliva dribbling from my mouth.....excuse me while I grab a napkin. Try the oil Roll-ons. They last much longer than the alcohol based versions, moisturise your skin and are great for layering with Body Sprays. Spray Bodycology Toasted Sugar or Body Fantasies Vanilla or Vanilla Cupcake over the top, they last for hours and you smell so good!

You will want to drink this stuff, it smells amazingly realistic. This would be something to put on before a romp in the hay.

I'm very much not a gourmand fan, but I've found that Devils Food is interesting to layer! On its own, it's a surprisingly photorealistic chocolate cake, complete with nutty and creamy notes. Once in awhile, you'll get a smell that's more like a chocolate lip balm, but it's pretty good. Longevity is under two hours. Layered, Devils Food offers interesting depth for floral, green, and spicy perfumes. Depending on what you layer with, you'll get an extra hour or two. I won't ever wear Devils Food solo, but I can see myself using it to deepen lighter florals.

Another delicious gourmand I can tolerate (allergic to artificial vanilla)! This is so creamy and sweet, just like freshly whipped up devil's foodcake batter. Can definitely get the cocoa powder and wheaty notes, somewhat similar to what's in Tokyo Milk Bittersweet's top notes (I'll definitely be layering the two, because Bittersweet, while pleasant, is too musky/amber-y for me by its lonesome). I know the vanilla is there, but on the drydown I get chocolate roll frosting, instead of ye generic vanilla smell. Like Charlie Sheen said, "winning!"
