What wearers say
“Not that this smells bad, but it smells like a dessert and to me thats a bit confusing. Im a woman. Im not a pie. Why would I want to smell like a literal creme brule or whatever this smells like?Idk. The bottle is gaudy, its a nice scent otherwise, soft, feminine, but nothing special. It smells like a lemon custard or smthn similar. Tbh I find that lemony scents smell nice but rarely great or very attractive to me. Like you smell like lemon you know? What is there to say? Its a lemon.”
“Smelled once to compare the longevity with Victoria by Lataffa. The scents are 1-1, however, I find Devotion to last longer. Devotion has a deeper, more complex scent, while Victoria seems to have a simpler, more flat drydown. Lovely summer scent; would purchase a small bottle on sale, definetely not at full price.”
“summer night/winter day or evening fragrance. I didn't like what it smells like after the first spray (strong citrus and honey), but the dry down smells like what panettone tastes like. Perfect for the holiday season. Not everyones cup of tea as the citrus can be too much for some so give it a full wear test.”

Sillage
Rasasi's interpretation leans heavier on vanilla and amber in the base compared to Devotion's more balanced rum-forward finish. The citrus-to-creamy ratio is noticeably shifted toward sweetness, sacrificing some of the original's brightness and complexity.

The clone matches the note structure closely but typically exhibits slightly shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 6-7 hours on Devotion) and marginally softer sillage. The amber in the original reads more prominent and refined, while the clone's peony can occasionally feel slightly sharper in the heart.
