The vanilla perfume that made me rethink🤍
I am usually very skeptical about gourmand and vanilla perfumes because they so often become too synthetic, heavy, or cloyingly sweet and give me headaches. But Devotion Intense changes everything! Already when holding the heavy, massive glass bottle with the fantastic golden heart (Sacred Heart), you can feel how incredibly luxurious it is. It’s like a little piece of art and looks like a dream on the perfume shelf! Top note: Nutty, warm hazelnut that gives an incredibly luxurious and enveloping feeling right upon spraying. Heart note: Radiant orange blossom that adds a soft freshness; it’s what makes the scent feel so alive and never too heavy. Base note: Warm, creamy, and deep Madagascar vanilla that feels genuine and absolutely magical on the skin. This is a so-called Floral Gourmand. The balance between the creamy vanilla and the wonderfully fresh orange blossom makes the scent luxurious, warm, sensual, and extremely addictive, while maintaining an incredibly sophisticated freshness. A very versatile scent! Works just as well as a luxurious everyday scent at work/school as for more festive occasions when you want to spread a soft and sensual aura around you. Rating 5/5. (Actually a strong 4.5 because I wished for a bit longer longevity on my skin, but the scent and the luxurious overall feeling are so fantastic that it still deserves full marks!) My best tips to maximize longevity and make the scent last all day/evening: 1. Moisturize your skin with an unscented body lotion or a bit of Vaseline on pulse points before spraying. 2. Spray a light cloud over your clothes or on your hairbrush before brushing your hair; both textiles and hair bind the scent notes significantly longer! My conclusion: An absolutely fantastic scent for those who want something luxurious, soft, warm, and sensual with hints of floral freshness. I’ve already received lots of compliments from both acquaintances and strangers, which is always the best proof that a scent really suits you! You simply feel incredibly beautiful and elegant wearing it. This perfume has completely changed my opinion about vanilla and gourmand scents! A new must-have scent for my collection that I will definitely buy again when the bottle is empty. 🤍 #lykotestpilot #dolcegabbana
