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.

I blind bought it, well I had smelled it on paper, but lost the test strip so really only smelled the opening and I didn’t like it. Same with the OG. But I sampled Victoria, again disliked the opening, but adored the dry down. Anyways, I saw someone selling a brand new bottle for a steal so I went for it, hoping I would love it just like Victoria. And I do! I don’t get a lot of hazelnut and just like the other two it has lemon cleaner opening, but the dry down is delicious! It gives lemon Oreo or vanilla cupcake with lemon icing! I’m here to say that Victoria is just as good as this D&G and the OG and costs a third of the price. Quality, sillage and longevity are the same. I will buy the Victoria when I run out because it’s a better deal and has the exact dna. There are some pretentious people on here who tell you buy the original, this isn’t as good in many reviews. This smells cheap. That’s just simply not always true. I am thinking many Millennials, Gen Z and Alphas may have to learn the hard way. Champagne wishes on a beer budget!

i don’t know how to describe this perfume without sounding totally dramatic. on me, it opens like a lemon meringue pie. not sharp artificial citrus nor like a lemon cleanser, it’s creamy, sugary, fluffy lemon with that toasted sweetness and hints of that enveloping hazelnut and a breeze of sweet orange. it almost has that comfortingly warm bakery air to it, like walking into a patisserie. there’s also something slightly like when you walk by a lush store, it gives off the bathbomb section, even more specifically, super milk, which it definitely would layer well with. and as time goes on, it dries down dangerously. that lemon meringue pie softens and disappears into a rich, warm vanilla, not your typical vanilla frosting or cupcake vanilla, its like pure vanilla extract. deep, cozy, slightly syrupy, like it’s been sitting in a glass bottle in your baking cabinet. it clings to your skin in the most addictive way. i’ve been wearing this for 4 days straight and i’ve accumulated about 9 compliments. it feels indulgent, feminine, but in the most softest, warmest edible way, a true delicacy. i love it!

This is, hands down, one of my favourite fragrances ever. I first smelled it in a store about two years ago, and I immediately fell in love. It's sweet, it's warm, vanilla and hazelnut and orange blossom all blend together beautifully. I will say, it might not be everyone's cup of tea. If you're like me, and you love fragrances that are sweet and warm and vanilla, you will probably like this. Some find it cloying, but I don't share that sentiment at all. I do find it to be more of a autumn/winter fragrance, but it also works perfectly for summer evenings and the like in my opinion, so it's an exaggeration that you can ONLY use it in the colder months. Some people also say that the hazelnut is overpowering, but I can smell all three notes in a pretty balanced way. It doesn't last eternally like some perfumes do, but on my skin, it can last many many hours, and on my clothes sometimes I can even smell it after a couple of days! Even with the price point, I think it's worth buying. All in all, this is one of my favourite fragrances ever, and I recommend it wholeheartedly!

I really like this one. It's quite easily identified as a flanker of Devotion, but the hazelnut adds an interesting dimension to it. The opening for me is just okay, primarily because to my nose there is a synthetic quality to it and although I don't hate that, I would have passed on this one had it persisted. But for me that passes after about 15 minutes, and then I'm left with a lovely, warm, orange blossom fragrance with gourmand touches. However it's in the dry down where this one really draws me in, as the hazelnut reminds me of toasted coconut, which blends with the orange blossom and vanilla in a very beautiful way, reminiscent of a cake with toasted coconut sprinkled all over it. This lasts on my skin for a good 8+ hours, maintaining moderate sillage for at least six of those hours. After that it still hangs about, but as a skin scent. I find this fragrance to be warm and cozy, like a soft sweater on a cool evening. I've heard mixed reviews about it, but I think it's worth getting your nose on if you are a fan of the OG.

Devotion Intense is like a luscious hazelnut vanilla praline wrapped in a bottle. It’s warm, nutty, and sinfully indulgent like stepping into a cozy patisserie filled with the aroma of freshly baked delights. This fragrance is the sweeter, denser elder sister of the original Devotion, and it knows how to make an entrance. The hazelnut here is creamy and roasted, adding a velvety, nutty richness that feels like a warm hug. The vanilla is lush and comforting, wrapping you up like a soft, cashmere blanket. And that gorgeous orange blossom? It adds a touch of floral sophistication, balancing the sweetness with a hint of fresh elegance. Every spray is like being enveloped in a dreamy, dessert-like cloud .., cozy, delicious, and completely addictive. It’s the kind of scent that makes you want to snuggle up and indulge in a moment of pure bliss. The packaging is just as stunning as the fragrance itself, making it even more impossible to resist. Honestly, I’m in love with this scent, its better than the original. – Bhavna Darira Chesan

This is a polished gourmand with just enough edge to avoid dessert territory. Hazelnut leads with a rich, toasted warmth, balanced by orange blossom that keeps things luminous rather than sticky. Madagascar vanilla anchors it with depth, not syrup. Longevity is moderate -like a guest who leaves before wearing out their welcome. It's elegant without trying too hard, and sweet without being obvious. Think luxury praline, not bakery aisle. Compared to the original Devotion, Intense is more sultry and grounded - trading the airy brightness for a deeper, toasted warmth. Where the original sparkles, Intense smolders. I will agree with the reviewer below: Lattafa’s Victoria, however, is not just a dupe - it’s a standout in its own right. It blends the radiance of the original with the richness of Intense, striking a balance that arguably takes the best of both. With impressive performance and a polished composition, Victoria proves that affordability doesn’t mean compromise. I am, however, happy to keep Intense in my collection.

My Dad brought back this perfume from his work trip to Italy. I’ve just put this on before bed to test out lol 🥹🩷 I instantly could tell from the smell who wears this exact fragrance!!! I was like “oh...my...god... that makes so much sense! I’ve cracked the code!” My Mum’s rich Italian Aunty wears this exact perfume. She’s a loud Italian woman who commands the attention of any room she walks into. She’s mean and strict but only because “she knows best” 😵💫😵💫😵💫 She has everything designer and is a bit of a snob. You have to earn her respect. And she definitely thinks everyone is out to get her ... This fragrance definitely takes me back to big Italian venue celebrations. It smells like Italian deserts; especially cannoli, as it has hints of ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and citrus zest. On me, however, I’m smelling the faintest hint of bug spray and cheese ball dust 💀. Maybe I’ll have to get a second opinion to see if I’m going cray cray xx

This is one of my only department store 'designer' fragrances. I just started my collection and I am not upper class or of the landed gentry so I typically purchase decently affordable fragrances. I have a few gourmands in this scent profile. I spent quite a lot of time trying to decide which splurge spring 2025 fragrance I was going to buy. I smelled JPG Divine and Divine Le Parfum and Devotion and Devotion Intense and a bunch of Gucci Blooms and was determined to pick one and only one to get. After multiple tests I decided on this one! Devotion Intense stays on my skin quite long and makes me happy! It seems like it could be worn all year long. I can smell the notes listed and the orange or slight citrus lasts longer than in other perfumes. While it is similar to some of the less expensive gourmands I have recently acquired it does seem much more 'well blended' and doesn't have any strange or harsh moments. I do love it.

Dolce & Gabbana Devotion Intense has earned a permanent spot in my top 5 perfumes, and I genuinely don’t see it leaving anytime soon. This is gourmand perfumery at its finest. Picture this: a freshly baked Italian lemon cake, the kind with that creamy panna cotta center and a glossy citrus glaze on top. That’s Devotion Intense in a bottle, but here’s the magic: it never tips into “too sweet” territory. The bright lemon and citrus notes slice right through the creamy gourmand base, creating this perfect tension between zesty and indulgent. It’s balanced in a way most gourmands aren’t. The vanilla-gourmand wave has been EVERYWHERE these past few years, and most of them blend together. Devotion Intense is one of the few that actually carved out its own identity. If you’re tired of generic dessert perfumes but still love the gourmand category, this is your fragrance.

I do not like the original Devotion. Having said that, I tried Devotion intense at the airport, and I LOVED it. I sprayed it once on my wrist, and I could smell it all the way through my 11 hour flight. I did not buy it then, but I kept thinking about it. Almost six months later, I finally purchased it! Imagine walking down a cobblestone street at sunset in Tuscany. Now encapsulate the vibe in a bottle - that's Devotion intense.🌅 It smells like a freshly baked, warm orange cake with white vanilla icing, but not in a childish or artificial way - it is exquisite! It's a very sweet perfume, yet complex and sophisticated. The orange and the vanilla are very well-blended; however, I can't perceive the hazelnut. Still, I love wearing this whenever I feel like adding a little extra to my daily routine. Bonus: the bottle is quite nice, feels heavy and high quality.

If you could bottle Amalfi coast on a fall night, it would smell exactly like this. It is cozy yet elegant, the opening welcomes you with a gourmand sillage -I am assuming from the hazelnut accord- and somehow I can still detect a sweet citrusy smell just like the normal Devotion, but what separates them is the creaminess of the intense version. While the original falls more on the floral freshness, the intense captures the alluring and captivating side of the orange blossom and the sweetness of the vanilla. The dry down seems to leave more room for the vanilla, a beautiful combination of florals and vanilla. And the best part, it is LONG lasting. It stayed on my skin for 2 days straight -even though I took a shower! It is a good middle ground between white floral and gourmand I would say. Simple but sometimes less is more!

I expected Lemon Pledge. Instead, I recall a house I used to live in that had two orange trees in the yard. When they flowered, I loved the smell and would open the windows on balmy nights. I’m sitting in that house, eating the lemon pound cake from my grandmother’s hand written recipe, sniffing the beautiful orange blossoms. I do not think this is a safe blind buy. It’s not a typical gourmand. It is also quite strong and lasts about eight hours on my moisturized skin. I will wear perfume as an act of aggression, but you may want to stick with one or two sprays. I don’t like saying a perfume is for a particular season. Just wear less if it’s hot outside. I also don’t gender perfume. This is sweet, yet not in a nauseating way. It’s definitely worth a sample. I will purchase a full bottle when mine runs out.

Its not listed but i swear there is bergamot in this! In the opening to middle of this scent there is a note that gives off this lime froot loop cereal note (same smell i get wen i drink earl grey tea -has bergamot-) and a smell reminiscent to green pepper. Weirdly the pepper smell reminds me of tempura peppers with soy sauce i had at a sushi spot 😅 only bergamot has ever given me that scent profile , so im so confused why its not on the notes. Anyways, i do like the fragrance it settles down into a warm toasty vanilla and i already like bergamot so the opening is nice to me, oddly interesting but i like it . Due to the opening this scent isnt for everyone, must like/love bergamot i think that might be the "lemon cleaner" vibe alot of people are getting and they did overdose this with it 😬😂

I’m not usually into super gourmand fragrances, but this one is honestly one of the most delicious vanillas I have ever smelled. It smells edible and the orange blossom / citrus notes really help cut through the sweetness without being sour or bitter. Wonderful in the colder months, but honestly quite nice for summer weather too as the citrus keeps it light. Not usually that taken in by many designer fragrances but this one definitely has my heart. Both the original and intense has a very similar dry down and I prefer this over the original, but only slightly. Wears pretty much all day and can be found on lots of discount sites online so you can usually get it for a great price.

Meant to get the original and got this on accident, but I honestly like it so much more. It smells even more like a baked good but it’s not too sweet for me to wear day to day. Longevity is fair, projection is weaker than ideal for me but for my mom it projects almost too strongly. The scent is divine. I hate hazelnut and have never had a perfume/desert with hazelnut as a note/ingredient that I liked but this was beautiful. Warm and nutty, what I image “chestnuts roasting on an open fire” must smell like. The lemon panacotta in the original is still present, just with more depth, the notes listed don’t give it justice. So happy with it.
