Dolce & Gabbana Devotion Intense was introduced in 2024 as a richer formula than the original. Created by Olivier Cresp, it has notes of hazelnut, orange blossom and vanilla. This is an EDP, eau de parfum intense. From the brand - "Devotion Eau de Parfum is a delectable fragrance that celebrates life's noblest values, an unprecedented essence sealed by the Sacred Heart." And from the perfumer, Oliver Cresp, "Dolce&Gabbana Devotion Eau de Parfum Intense is the latest Bright Gourmand fragrance joining the Devotion collection. The new olfactive creation revisits the original fragrance with its characteristic notes of Orange Blossom and Vanilla, featuring a new addition of distinctive Hazelnut."
Fragrantica - "Oh, she's a treat for the gourmand lovers. Quite sweet and at first, almost plasticky (in a good way!) - like pouring burnt caramel over your barbie dolls. To that I'll add - it's not a mature, deep vanilla; it's coquettish and youthful, like nymphets eating pudding with embellished spoons."
Fragrantica - "D&G Devotion Intense is delicious but not cloying. Not too syrupy to me. I love that it skips the sharp lemon zest the original Devotion had in the opening, to get straight to the smooth lemon-orange-vanilla dessert that the original arrives at when it the dries down. There is a brief minute moments of orange zest in the Intense's opening, but it isn't sharp to me and quickly goes into that candied lactonic sweetness that is maintained. The orange blossom is not honeyed, but perfectly sugared mixed with lots of vanilla."
Fragrantica - "Urgh, I could sniff this all day. Candied lemon, custardy with a nutty biscuity note in there. It’s like an amped up lira or what I hoped lira would be. Comforting and can’t wait to wear it in the autumn snuggled up in a cashmere jumper"
