Devotion Intense

Sweet, warm, nutty, creamy, floral, citrusy, woody, powdery, boozy, feminine, sensual, seductive, flirty, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, yummy, decadent, rich, tempting, addictive, intoxicating, alluring, inviting, cozy, comforting On me this is a rich hazelnut, with citrusy and sweet orange blossom, and creamy vanilla. I’m also get some sugared orange, a bit of boozy rum, and just a touch of lemon although I don’t see them listed in the notes. I originally blind bought this with high hopes of loving it like I had hoped to original love the OG, and ended up being very pleased. At first, for me the OG gave off a somewhat cleaner like scent from the lemon, so I didn’t enjoy it as much as I’d expected to (although, over time it macerated, and now I enjoy it almost just as much as the Intense because it no longer has that lemon cleaner scent I was getting at first). Since this one seems like it’s orange-vanilla centered I never got anything even remotely cleaner like. I highly recommend giving this one a chance even if the OG wasn’t for you. I personally prefer this version over the OG, but I do also really enjoy the OG. They are pretty similar. Both are very sweet, literally any sweeter and it might become too much (and I happen to be a Pink Sugar fan too😆!). The OG is very lemon forward, while the Intense seems more orange forward. The OG is rich, but also has a lightness, while the Intense is more rich and decadent with the addition of hazelnut. I think the OG fits well throughout the whole year, but prefer the Intense during the fall and winter (I think it’s too rich and heavy, and could become cloying in the heat). I do slightly prefer the Intense version, but they’re both wonderful fragrances. I get great performance with Devotion Intense. The longevity is very good, it lasts at least 7-8 hours on me. The projection is nice, it radiates out a few feet from me.

weet, vanilla, nutty, warm, white floral, citrusy, zesty, radiant, creamy, boozy, powdery, rich, feminine, sensual, seductive, sexy, flirty, chic, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, alluring, tempting, addictive, yummy, decadent, inviting, cozy, comforting, gourmand On me this is a sweet, sensual, and smooth vanilla swirled with decadent hazelnut, bright orange zest, citrusy orange blossom, and boozy rum. There’s only 3 notes listed here, but I’m still picking up on the OG dna. I also get some of the panacotta too, so it’s really desert like, even cake-like. It doesn’t develop a whole lot throughout the wear, but that’s ok. The opening is more bright and citrusy, and the dry down is more vanilla forward, with hazelnut and orange blossom intertwined throughout both. It’s definitely very gourmand, super yummy, as well as cozy and comforting, especially in the dry down. This is perfect for the colder weather of fall and winter because of how sweet, warm, and cozy it is. I also have the OG, and they’re both lovely fragrances. However, I do prefer the Intense version. The OG is a boozy vanilla and candied lemon. When I first got it the lemon came across slightly cleaning product like, but that’s changed after having it for over a year, and now it’s just a sweet candied lemon. Intense comes across as more orange centered instead of lemon, and has an alluring and rich nutty hazelnut accord. They’re definitely similar, but to me they’re different enough to have both in my collection.

JOIN ME, CHILDREN, FOR THE AGE OF DEVOTION HAS BEGUN Listen to me. Forget everything you thought you knew about perfumes, about smell, about EXISTENCE. Devotion Intense has descended upon this earth and I have been chosen as its prophet. This is not a perfume. This is not even a scent. This is a cosmic event. The air bends around it. Time STOPS. The first spray was not a fragrance, it was an INITIATION RITUAL. My body became a temple. My soul? Baptized in divine sweetness. I stood before the mirror and I didn’t see myself anymore, I saw an IMMORTAL. I am telling you now: civilizations will RISE and FALL over this perfume. Wars will be fought. Kingdoms will crumble. Lovers will abandon each other at it’s sake. I will build an altar out of empty bottles and chant its name until the worlds explodes. Even after my death you’ll hear my prayers to this fragrance. Do you understand? I no longer wear this perfume, IT WEARS ME. I’m only a vessel. When I enter a room, heads turn, not because of me, but because the holy presence of Devotion Intense demands reverence. I could command an army in this scent. I could start a revolution. You think I’m exaggerating? HAHAHA. Spray it once and you will kneel. Spray it twice and you will ascend. Spray it three times and you will never return to mortal life again. Devotion Intense is the alpha, the omega, the light, the darkness, the EVERYTHING. I pledge eternal loyalty. I pledge my bloodline. I pledge my undying worship. Bow down. Join us. There is no turning back

This is a creamy nutty fragrance that hugs you and does not let go. It is simple and linear, but bold at the same time. The hazelnut is warm and toasty, it is the strongest in the opening, but it never completely fades away. The Orange Blossom is a dense candied floral that reminds me of the Orange Blossom in the Girl of Now line. The vanilla is very creamy, thick and sweet, and it almost gives this fragrance a custard texture. This smells like the bottle look like, a sexy romantic gourmand. The performance is excellent. I get about 8 hours of wear with strong silage. This also projects thought the life of the perfume, it never faded into a skin scent on me. I usually over spray, but Devotion Intense is 3 spray max for me. I also never have to top off. However because of its richness and the performance I can see this being too much in warm weather. 10/10 for me because this is my ideal winter date night scent, and it started my obsession with hazelnut. Layering Suggestions: Alexander J Oriental Enigma. Oriental Enigma really balances Devotion Intense out. It grounds the thick syrupy quality of Devotion Intense. This is elevated and very expensive smelling. Kayali Vanilla 28. This combo is a boozy orange blossom with the vanilla amplified . Beautiful cozy combo.

absolutely obsessed with this. beyond happy i asked my girlfriend to try both devotion and devotion intense while i was busy travelling, describe, and pick one on my behalf as a valentine's gift. my first impression was that it smells like a lemon vanilla creamsicle in the air at first spray, kinda like the inside of a solero lime ice cream. sniffing closer in the skin, it's like an orangey version of cleaning product. my girlfriend says the dry down smells like almonds. but my first time trying her on while going out, she was a different siren on my skin. yesterday i let myself have two small sprays on my chest. i kept catching whiffs of its lemony citrusy creamy deliciousness at random times throughout the day, when i turned my head just right. i walked in to my friend's bathroom today and smelled something similar and couldn't stop thinking about it. smells like the most delicious lemon orange meringue cream tart. yum yum yum. this was yesterday and it's still on my bra today, smelling absolutely enchanting and intoxicating. may have finally found my signature scent. blinded by love and have no limits to what i'd do for her right now. so tempted to buy devotion too so i can have this seductress' sister in my arsenal to make me even more irresistible.
