No, simply no. It is definitely not a blind buy safe fragrance. On the skin, it smells like sour milk or cream for the first few hours. After a few hours, it does settle down and smells creamy, like whipped cream with sugar, but by then it's too late. For a body spray, it has surprisingly good longevity, which is the only thing I have to appreciate, but unfortunately, that's a redundant feature for me since I don't like the scent.

I just love how this smells, fight me! Does it smell like apple shampoo? Maybe, but that doesn't mean it smells bad. It's simply a fresh, juicy green apple washed with soap. To me, it's a unique, clean fruity scent that stays close to the skin. Perfect for days when you just want to smell nice, clean, and not suffocate everyone around you.

The base of this scent still heavily carries the original DNA of the classic Devotion. You get the white florals, you catch a bit of that lemony touch, but compared to the original Devotion, it feels more cohesive to me. I used to compare that one a lot to Akro - Bake, so it didn't make as much of an impression on me. The hazelnut on top definitely adds depth, but unfortunately, you barely smell it after a few minutes. Still, since this version doesn't push the lemon so hard, it just feels better balanced. For a fragrance from a mainstream brand, it's definitely a well-executed vanilla gourmand.

The scent simply smells like straight-up caramel topping, nothing more and nothing less. Before the fragrance dries down right after the first spray, it's honestly sickening, like caramel topping on speed. Once it dries down, it's not quite as extreme, but still... And this is coming from a gourmand lover, but there's nothing sophisticated about this, it's quite literally an "April Fool's joke" brought to life. Unfortunately, that’s how most of the new Kayali fragrances feel to me right now, just a mass-production assembly line with no deeper thought behind it.

I love this scent and truly do not understand why it is not part of the permanent collection. Compared to most of the brand's other floral scents, which in my opinion feel quite synthetic and repetitive, this one is a beautiful summer gourmand. It smells like coconut mixed with white chocolate, and the dry down reminds me of a creamy white coffee from Nescafé, but with coconut instead of coffee beans.
For a body spray, the longevity is excellent. This is not the typical "sunscreen and florals" type of coconut. It feels like a unique, delicious, and creamy treat.
