My Devotion Eau de Parfum Intense.

Dolce&Gabbana sought to refresh its beloved Devotion line for 2025, tasking Olivier Cresp with re‑imagining the scent for a new generation. While the original celebrated orange blossom and vanilla, Cresp introduced a crisp fruit twist, pear blossom and blackcurrant, to capture the freshness of an Italian orchard at dawn. The heart stays true to the house’s love of white florals with peony, and the base preserves the comforting bourbon vanilla that defines the Devotion DNA. Launched in 2025, the fragrance bridges the brand’s heritage of bold Mediterranean glamour with a contemporary, sweet‑fruit elegance.

The choice of pear blossom adds a luminous, slightly green facet that brightens the opening, while blackcurrant supplies a juicy depth rarely paired with such delicate florals. This contrast mirrors Dolce&Gabbana’s signature play of bright citrus against warm woods, giving the perfume an immediate spark that doesn’t fade. Peony’s soft powdery aura tempers the fruit, creating a seamless transition to the gourmand vanilla, which brings a creamy, nutty finish that feels both indulgent and restrained.

The first ten minutes are dominated by the sharp, juicy duet of pear blossom and blackcurrant, a scent that feels like biting into a ripe fruit salad under a Mediterranean sun. As the top notes mellow, the peony heart emerges, softening the composition with a velvety, powdery bloom that adds a feminine elegance and bridges the bright opening to the deeper base. Around the half‑hour mark, the bourbon vanilla begins to unfurl, its warm, creamy sweetness wrapping the skin in a subtle gourmand veil. This drydown persists for the remaining six to eight hours, lingering as a soft, lingering sweetness that never becomes cloying. The overall arc moves from vibrant fruit to delicate floral, finally settling into a comforting vanilla that stays close to the body, making the fragrance feel like a day‑long companion that evolves with you.

Since its 2025 debut, My Devotion Intense has become a reference point for modern gourmand florals, often mentioned alongside Miss Loyalty Intense and the original Devotion line. Wearers note its appeal for daytime elegance, positioning it as a sweet‑but‑sophisticated alternative to heavier vanilla‑centric scents, and it frequently appears in spring‑summer fragrance round‑ups.
