Candied Lemons and Limoncello
There are two versions of this perfume (the original and the intense) Both scents have significant differences:

The notes in this original Devotion are Candied Lemon, Panacotta, Orange Blossom and Vanilla. This makes it refreshing, sweet, creamy, light, fluffy and fun. This to me is a sweet, almost boozy Limoncello fragrance. I absolutely love this one and it’s one of my top 10 favourite scents! It’s an easy spring time grab for me. I adore it! It makes me happy.

The intense version isn't just a stronger version, it has a different vibe altogether with notes of Hazelnut, Orange Blossom and Vanilla. This gives the intense a much denser, dryer, dirty/dusty/oud type base that I find extremely suffocating. There’s no lemon in the intense version at all and I absolutely hate it.

I’d highly recommend you test both versions to see which you personally prefer. I would have written off this perfume if I hadn’t smelt the original.

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.

Lemon Cake
I’m so glad I found a 50ml bottle of this at TJ Maxx. This smells like a creamy slice of lemon cheesecake with orange icing drizzled on top. The candied lemon in the opening is a little sharp, but just trust the process and wait for the drydown. The panacatta note is so smooth and buttery and it blends with the vanilla & lemon notes beautifully. I threw on a few sprays before work and I was complimented from across the room and asked to write down what I was wearing. This is perfect for someone that wants a fresh citrusy perfume but also enjoys vanilla centered gourmands. I do find it to be cloying if I overspray, the gourmand aspect becomes too much of a good thing and I get a little nauseous, so if your bottle is macerated I would keep that in mind. Overall, it’s a beautiful sweet fragrance that will layer beautifully with white florals or other gourmands. I highly recommend it for cold weather.

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.

Vanilla steamer with lemon zest sprinkles
I really enjoyed this and understand the hype surrounding it.

At first spray, it's candied lemons, sweet and citrusy, with a bit of orange blossom. The orange blossom is white floral and slightly musky, softening the acidity of the lemon a bit. It stays this way for the first few hours of the wear.

About three hours in, the lemon starts to back down, the orange blossom gains some strength, and the vanilla begins to emerge, softly and sweetly. The orange blossom fades about seven hours in and, after this, it's just straight-up warm vanilla. This lasted about 10 hours on me before it was all but faded.

Overall, this is a great perfume for gourmand lovers and citrus enjoyers. It's sweet enough to do well in the cooler months but fresh enough to please in the warmer months as well. A wonderfully frilly, no-frills perfume.

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.

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

I was confused because I expected gourmand but could only detect florals for the first several hours! Dries down to a lovely light vanilla.
