Creamy, sweet lemon & lime for sunny days
Aw, this is such a cute lemon cake fragrance. I was very positively surprised that this isn't another nondescript vanillic white floral like so many newer designer white florals are.
The lemon note is strong in the opening! Very sparkling and invigorating, almost more like a lime than a lemon. The vanilla on the other hand is sweet and buttery. For the first hours I get a bit of a Lush store vibe from this, like their Vanillary perfume mixed with some fizzy citrus bath bombs, but in a cleaned-up, designery way... If that makes any sense to you. I really like it!
Over time the vanilla takes over the scent and the lemon gets a little less dominant. I can sense the orange blossom, too, it makes the drydown creamier and cleaner. This is not a particularly floral scent though, it's a fresh, citric gourmand in its core.

I have a bit of a soft spot for D&G fragrances, they're a very random designer house, but many of their scents just work for me. This is one of them.

I don't understand why so many people say this is similar to Xerjoff Lira. Sure, both are citrus vanilla scents, but that's it. They're like very distant cousins maybe. Lira lives in a snowy small town in the mountains that is famous for its Christmas market. Her hobbies are baking or reading books by the fireplace. Devotion lives in an area by the sea which has long summers and loves doing various sports and going out with friends. So, one has a cozy, wintery vibe, while the other one comes across as summery and lively. Having both would not be redundant in my opinion.

Devotion is one of those scents that would suit warm or mild weather, but has enough vanilla to cut through cool air, when you miss summer and need a pick-me-up.

I saw the hype on social media and ran to the store. I heard reviews saying this was going to smell like a gourmand lemon vanilla cake. The opening was a sharp lemon/orange blossom combo. I did not like the opening at all. Once it dried down it was more tolerable and the melon was softer. But still smelt like so many other fragrances that I would prefer over this one. This smelled similar to Sweet Tooth Caramel Dream Eau de Parfum and Fresh Cream Warm Cashmerebut with a hint of lemon. Nothing unique I feel like you can find this for much cheaper like the two I mentioned and I'm sure at other places too. Not worth the high price tag in my opinion.

A baked lemon bar
Baked lemon bar with powdered sugar is the best way to describe this. It’s hypnotically citrusy and sweet. The advertised notes don’t lie. You get hit with a strong candied lemon at first that might be a bit sweet for some but tickles me. Then it mellows to a lemony vanilla sugar that doesn’t come off as young as that description makes it sound. It’s highly addictive. Immediately one of my favorite perfumes from first spray. My only complaint is the longevity. It doesn’t last very long on my skin so I’m glad I got the travel size so I can carry it with me and reapply when I think I need a little more oomph. Another delightful fragrance from Olivier Cresp.

Lemon drop
This caught me off guard in the best way. I really, REALLY enjoy this fragrance. I don’t naturally gravitate towards citrus whatsoever, but when I was given a test strip in the store I was instantly intrigued. It opens with an intense bright & sweet lemon then settles into this creamy, warm, lemon-vanilla fusion that blends so nicely on my skin. Been wearing for a few hours now and I literally can’t stop catching whiffs of myself & smiling. Would recommend to fellow lovers of sophisticated/more refined gourmands; this is not at all nauseating or offensively sweet to me. I smell like a divine lemon cream cheese danish. I walked out of Macy’s with a bottle and zero regrets.

No offends meant but...
OMG, why?? Tell me why do they put such overdoses of Vanilla in today's frags? Is it because it is cheap or something?
I don't want to offend people who like this, but this is the most disgusting scent I've ever smelled! I was given a sample and this contains everything I dislike in many modern scents, especially gourmands.
I knew ( by smelling many modern fragrances of today, even from respected houses) that I don't like too much vanilla, but I thought: "Hey maybe I should be open minded and at least try it", but now I know I really don't like vanilla as a prominent note. Aside from the overly sweet, gourmand profile of this scent, the opening is really souer, this fades a little in the end when the orangeblossom tries to sneak in, but....no, no no! I can imagine people loving lemon cake, but I just don't understand how people would want to smell like it!
I also immediately remembered this was what I had smelled on someone in an elevator the other day and how it suffocated me and how my boyfriend (who seemed even more annoyed by it than me) made a remark about it (once the lady had left the elevator) which I won't repeat here...;-)
The sample also gave me a bit of a headache.

Tried yesterday with my girlfriend at Douglas, on the blotter. Smells nice, both of us thought it smelled like chocolate with orange zest.

As I'm not the biggest gourmand girlie, this took me by surprise as a yummy but not cloying vanilla gourmand, and a creamy, liqueur treat.

kind of Apple-y. Apple cider with some spices, but make it a designer perfume. Deeply sweet. Warm and unique. Would get a mini for sure.

If Akro Bake is lemon zest and brown sugar, this is lemon candy and white sugar. I think I prefer the former, but they would layer nicely!

so sour and tart on me at first, then finally the vanilla comes out - and completely takes over. Wouldn’t recommend blind buying this one.
