My Devotion
Dolce and Gabbana My Devotion Eau de Parfum Intense is a short composition and there is no sense pretending otherwise: three materials, one idea, carried out at high strength.
Hazelnut is the lead and it is handled like praline before the sugar has set, nutty and slightly oily with a toasted edge rather than a chocolate one. Orange blossom crosses the top as a cool white flash, clean and a little bitter, and it is the only brightness in the whole thing. Vanilla fills everything underneath, soft and powdery and thick, and it keeps going long after the nut has quietened down.
Intense means what it says. It is dense, it is sweet, and it stays on skin and fabric for a long time, so one spray at the throat and one at the wrist is a complete application. There is no development to follow and no second act, which is either the appeal or the objection depending on the wearer. What it does have is a very distinct smell, and in a market full of interchangeable sweet fragrances that counts for something. You will know within a minute of trying it whether it is for you, and that is worth more than a slow reveal nobody waits around for.
It belongs to cold weather and the evening, and it is aimed at women with a declared taste for vanilla and hazelnut sweetness. Dolce and Gabbana is an Italian fashion house founded in 1985 by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who remain its creative source. The beauty side is licensed rather than run in house: Shiseido has held exclusive worldwide rights to fragrance, makeup and skincare since October 2016, directing them from its EMEA headquarters in Paris, and only eyewear is treated the same way.
