Devotion by Dolce&Gabbana

Exquisite. The vanilla is delicious; I detect more orange skin than lemon, leaving an elegant impression. Medium longevity, super feminine and gourmand. I wouldn’t recommend buying blind as it evolves minute by minute on the skin. A great perfume.

I don’t like it.

It smells like Roscón de Reyes.

I already have it in my collection. I’m a gourmand lover but not of any kind. I like it for the lemon touch and the milky, creamy development. At first I feared it might be flat, just lemon with sugar, but not at all. Later I detect plenty of panna cotta and vanilla. The orange blossom is integrated, giving it a clean touch and making it a mature, light and elegant scent. It doesn’t have a great sillage, but since I’ve just bought it, I’m not sure. It doesn’t matter to me as I want to smell it myself and for those who embrace me to smell it without overwhelming anyone. I love it!

At first, it smells like orange blossom water from Christmas breads, then candied lemon—it’s not citrusy. Later the vanilla settles and makes it addictive. It evolves on the skin; it’s vanilla without florals, pleasant, warm and very sensual.

It’s my third expensive designer perfume, so my nose isn’t trained yet. But the moment I applied it to my wrist, I fell in love, especially with its evolution. I’d read it smelled like lemon tart with church incense, and yes, that’s exactly it. As a lover of both scents, it’s PERFECTION. And the bottle is simply gorgeous!

What can I say about one of my favourites from the land? To me, it’s a work of art. I’m a huge fan of sweet and gourmand scents. When people say it disappoints them, I don’t know what more to ask for. I have both versions and prefer this one over the Intense. The Intense does last longer, and I detect more hazelnut and orange at the start than lemon; being more intense, I find it less versatile. I LOVE BOTH, but if I had to choose one, it’s definitely this one without a doubt. It brings me so many compliments. It’s like a glazed lemon pudding so sweet it’s hardly citrusy; it smells incredible, edible yet elegant. One of my favourites, I feel so much love for it: it’s precious!

No doubt about it: no one like Olivier Cresp for citrus… he’s a legend! I don’t know what else to say that hasn’t been said. Even if it stays linear from start to finish, it’s such a delightful experience that I could wear it all the time, regardless of whether more notes develop. It smells like a tipsy lemon pie, and that tipsy pie has rum that Victoria doesn’t have, but otherwise they’re almost identical on my skin, with Victoria even winning because for about 20 minutes it shows fresh lemon then the sweetness… I adore this type of perfume, I need to know others with lemon and sugar!

This perfume is wonderful! It smells like burnt lemon pie with a hint of rum that gets you tipsy and makes you want to keep smelling it… Wherever I go, I receive compliments and people always ask for the name. If you’re a woman with character, bold, and unafraid to leave a trail… this is yours!

This fragrance is loved by many but hated by others; I love it, it’s one of my favourite designer scents. Created by the iconic Olivier Cresp (whom I had the honour of interviewing about his new Akro launch, and we also chatted about this gem). It has excellent longevity and smells like lemon tart, but the vanilla is more perceptible. Yes, it’s sweet but not as cloying as many say… on many apps they say it contains panna cotta and no, it doesn’t (little secret, even Olivier told me). I recommend it only for the cold season (autumn and winter), both day and night. People have complimented it a lot during those times. As an extra, the packaging is beautiful.

For gourmand lovers, this is the best I’ve tried. It smells exactly like lemon pie, as the reviews say. The longevity and sillage are top-notch; it’s noticeable for hours. It feels very youthful, so I gifted it to my teenage daughter and she adores it.

I didn’t like it. I gifted it and she loved it; she thought it smelled like a lemon cake with liqueur. On my skin, it smelled okay, but I couldn’t stand the rum note. I’ll try the nude pink bottle next…

It doesn’t stem from sensuality; it smells like a teenager receiving their first perfume. It’s pleasant, rich, and creamy, with a syrupy citrus touch. It reminds me of freshly baked cookies and Christmas parties. It’s nothing new or impressive, with an artificial note that doesn’t bother me. I own the Lattafa Victoria, which is the exact, finer imitation, so I mix them to boost the aroma and longevity. Lovely, innocent, and sweet. Yes, I would repurchase!

It smells like lemon pie; it’s exquisite. It has a citrusy lemon opening, then turns sweet like a lemon cake, and ends just like the lemon pie scent. Absolutely delicious, with good sillage. On my skin, it lasts less than 6 hours, but it has a lot of projection.

I was looking for something captivating and this is the trendiest option. Smelled odd at first in the shop, but once applied to my wrist, it was lovely! It doesn’t smell like cookies or lemon feet, but rather summer and suntan lotion. Sounds nice, but after a while it becomes annoying, dense, and even gives me nausea. I wouldn’t buy it as it tired me out, although the scent on my jumper the next day seemed pleasant. In the end, I wouldn’t purchase it.
