Hopelessly Devoted
Artfully crafted by master perfumer Olivier Cresp, Dolce&Gabbana’s evocative new perfume enthralls with every note
The mark of genuine attention is unmistakable in specific creations. It manifests itself in the details, the intricate execution and the unyielding dedication to achieve nothing less than perfection. Italian luxury house Dolce&Gabbana knows and demonstrates this well, taking great pride in its unique and creative work. The sentiment holds to its exquisite new fragrance, which bears a name as evocative as its composition.
The Devotion collection, an ode to Dolce&Gabbana’s unconditional dedication to style, excellence and Italian heritage, presents a luminous and sensual scent by renowned master perfumer Olivier Cresp. “The essence of Devotion lies in a concise yet powerful blend of exceptionally highquality ingredients that complement and contrast each other harmoniously,” he relays. “[The word itself ] encapsulates a profound dedication, a passionate commitment beyond mere interest or engagement. It represents loyalty, affection and a wholehearted dedication towards something or someone.”
Unravelling an olfactory experience that’s just as reassuring and seductive, the Devotion eau de parfum conceptualises the essence of panettone, a traditional Italian delicacy. It bears a candied citrus accord in the top note, conveying a vibrant quality reminiscent of the south of Italy where it was sourced. This is accentuated by the orange blossom absolute, which adds a sophisticated, feminine touch to the composition. Finally, at the base are sweet, abundant vanilla notes from Madagascar. This perfectly interlocks with the bright tonalities of the citrus, creating a decadent synergy from top to base.
“The fragrance encapsulates an aura of joy and indulgence, inviting one to revel in the sheer pleasure of the present moment. The vanilla note adds to this indulgent feeling with its comforting and well-being sensation,” muses Cresp. “The harmonious marriage of the universally beloved vanilla with evocative Italian elements ensures that Devotion remains both globally enticing and authentically Italian, speaking to a diverse audience while proudly showcasing its heritage.”
The finishing touch to the perfume bottle is an intricately crafted sacre coeur (sacred heart), an iconic symbol for the Italian fashion house. Speaking volumes about the incredible artistry and passion behind its longcelebrated work, Dolce&Gabbana establishes a connection with anyone who appreciates the evocative art of devotion.
