Dolce&Gabbana Devotion For Men Parfum

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Bold and refined, Devotion delivers a crisp lemon-coffee opening that evolves into rich woods and amber. Projection is strong in the first few hours, and I got solid longevity well past six hours on skin. The scent profile walks the line between daring and wearable. definitely one to enjoy when you want to be noticed for all the right reasons

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Very nice and soothing scent. The package is compact and great value. Have used it a few times on social occasions and many who had experienced the aroma agreed that it was warm and smooth.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I haven't smelled any of the other Devotions before (or if I have, I don't remember them), just as an FYI… Opens with a burst of lavender (hate!) that is screechy and synthetic. I don't enjoy lavender (far too ubiquitous in men's fragrances and I also simply don't like it), and doubly-so here. Off to a bad start. Plus some citrus? But that might honestly just be the soapy presentation of an aromatic, which so often renders them akin to cleaning products. But then the coffee steps in, and it's the vapors of a fresh pot— not the beans or grinds, but a softly steaming batch you've just poured for yourself. It warms it up and gracefully sidesteps the lavender that kept my jaw clenched and my nose itchy…but nevertheless, the lavender persisted. Why? I almost saw the light :( There's a vaguely-golden, amber hue to the scent by the end of it, but it's nothing transformative. In fact, the amber's marriage to the coffee darkens it to the point where it's almost chocolate, but the kind of chocolate that reminds me of that old Axe spray, "Dark Temptation." Alas, not for me. But it performs pretty well and lasts a good bit.
