Devotion Dolce & Gabbana 2023

The last time I bought something at Dolce & Gabbana, I received a small sample. I liked the bottle pictured on it, so I bought the fragrance a few days later at the airport. Once again, I didn't test the fragrance beforehand. I'm not sure why I do this, but so far it's worked every time.

When I tested the sample at home, I was totally surprised and a little taken aback. I immediately took the large bottle and sprayed the perfume on. Again, I was totally surprised because the scent seemed familiar. I closed my eyes briefly and thought about it: Grandma's lemon cake with sugar icing! There really is a 1:1 match here. I don't normally like the scent of lemon because it often reminds me of toilet cleaner. But it's completely different here. When you spray the fragrance on, you immediately smell lemon. But not sour or as you would imagine, but really sugary sweet. This scent doesn't last long, however, but is overshadowed by the vanilla. I really like it, because the citrusy scent is still very slightly perceptible in the background. The longevity and the sillage are great. The fragrance doesn't overwhelm you, but is very perceptible throughout the day. For me, Devotion is a very warm fragrance. I don't have a preference for the seasons in a perfume. I wear it when I feel like it. But for many people, Devotion would be more suited to winter, because it is a very elegant, very warm fragrance.

I am now hoping that I will be nibbled on with the help of Devotion, because some people like lemon cake. So I will definitely be wearing it in spring and summer. I just have to hope that the bees and wasps don't eat me..
