Dolce & Gabbana My Devotion Review – A 2025 Floral Vanilla Dream

Olivier Cresp’s luminous ode to spring: pear blossom, peony, and Madagascar vanilla in a bottle.

By Sofia Chen-Martinez, Fragrance Trend Analyst · · Updated

Sofia tracks the cultural pulse of perfume — what TikTok wears, what Hollywood smells like, what auction houses bid on. Based between Paris and LA.

Dolce & Gabbana's Devotion represents a pivotal shift in the house's olfactory narrative, moving away from the bracing aquatic and floral profiles of the Light Blue lineage toward an unapologetically indulgent gourmand territory. It is a fragrance that seeks to capture the essence of 'Made in Italy' through the lens of traditional patisserie, specifically the candied citrus notes of Sicilian cannoli. In my analysis, Devotion is not merely a sweet fragrance; it is a structural exercise in balancing high-intensity saccharine top notes with a sophisticated, woody-vanilla architecture. As we dissect its composition, we uncover a deliberate attempt by Olivier Cresp to modernize the gourmand genre while maintaining the structural elegance expected of a luxury Italian house.
