Devotion Intense

“Very citrusy and sweet with nutty undertones in the opening. The strong citrus in the opening reminds me a bit of lemon scented cleaners or car air fresheners and its very strong, thats probably my only gripe with it. Overall the scent profile is good, lasts a while and is not too strong/cloying.It smells like a lemon cream cake (with a bit too much added lemon flavoring in the opening) plus a bit of Nutella drizzled on top. Leans a bit feminine but I wear it as a guy.I feel so-so about the opening 10 mins, but really like the scent for the rest of its stay on my skin.”

“If the original Devotion smells like eating a fresh lemon cream pie on a warm summer day outside with a breeze then Devotion intense smells like pulling a fresh baked loaf of orange pound cake from the oven at night. It’s warm and comforting but heavy. Like when you were little and grandma let your eat all the sweets your heart desired.”

“For me Devotion Intense is a step up from the original in terms of both scent profille and quality. I love vanilla combined with orange blossom (not as tart as vanilla with lemon like in the original). But nuts in fragrances are a challenge for me. Hazelnut in particular smells like a fart...initially lol. While I love the drydown, I would not buy for that reason!”
