What's driving me nuts is that it reminds me of something, but I don't know what. For some reason I'm having flashbacks to my late-80's college years... what IS that, that OVdF is reminding me of?? I don't actually expect an answer, but if anybody has an idea, please let me know. I'm off to check some other sites to see if I can get some insight on this phenomenon. (I should just forget it... I don't NEED this. And to be honest, the Tom Ford ads featuring nude models in sunglasses are creeping me out, so much so that I doubt I'll be buying Tom Ford anything.)

(Finally!) I actually think the "massive creamy sweetness" label applies more to this than the original Black Orchid - it was so heady and sweet that it gave me a headache! Black Orchid on the other hand wore much more softly than expected. Tried this on my skin today. (Finally!)

But you'd think those people would not be interested in trying something that said "Black Orchid" on it? And that most people who loved Black Orchid wouldn't find VdF that tempting. I don't really understand the flanker thing, in the end.

I wouldn't buy a bottle, but it's rather pretty and I wouldn't mind smelling it on someone else. Certainly doesn't provoke the kind of reaction Black Orchid does! It's one of my all time favorites.

I was initially disappointed, but I got over it. On my skin Voile de Fleur kind of smelled aggressively feminine and sensual, which I enjoyed, but made for a less versatile scent than the original. Neither of these are fragrances that should be bought without trying them out first. I asked for Voile de Fleur for Christmas, but got the original Black Orchid instead.
