Dolce & Gabbana My Devotion Intense: A Gourmand Masterpiece

An analytical exploration of Olivier Cresp’s 2024 olfactory evolution.

By Dr. Laurent Beaumont, Fragrance Analyst & Historian · · Updated

Laurent holds a PhD in olfactory chemistry from UniversitΓ© de Versailles. He writes about composition, materials sourcing, and the lineage of perfumery houses.

The release of Dolce & Gabbana My Devotion Intense in 2024 marks a significant chapter in the house’s storied exploration of Italian sensuality. As a progression of the Devotion line, this iteration seeks to deepen the narrative, moving beyond the initial brightness into a more resonant, textured territory that prioritizes depth and longevity. Under the precise hand of Olivier Cresp, the fragrance serves as a bridge between traditional Mediterranean heritage and the modern demand for high-impact gourmand profiles. It is an exercise in restraint within indulgence, balancing the inherent sweetness of its composition with the structural integrity of noble raw materials.
