Devotion by Dolce & Gabbana: Beyond Katy Perry, a Captivating Scent
Devotion by Dolce & Gabbana is a floral-forward fragrance gaining popularity through Katy Perry’s commercial campaign. But Devotion is more than just Katy Perry’s steamy commercials. It’s a powerful scent that’s captivating and modern and a great gift.
Today, we’ll talk its maker, packaging, scent profile, and where you can sample it. (hint, that’s here).
Dolce & Gabbana Devotion Review: About The Maker, Packaging
Dolce & Gabbana is an Italian luxury fashion house created by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Known for iconic scents like Light Blue and The One, they often infuse a touch of Mediterranean elegance into their perfumes.
Devotion continues that tradition with an ornate yet modern bottle, featuring eye-catching gold details that make it a statement piece on any vanity. To me, there’s something almost ancient Egyptian to the dazzling ornamental design on the box. Its almost gaudy in comparison compared to say, The One, which has a darker, minimalist design. There’s something incredibly expressive about Devotion that fits right along with its ad campaigns.

What Does Devotion by Dolce & Gabbana Smell Like
Devotion opens with bright, slightly sweet floral notes that create a lighthearted first impression. The middle notes are often described as a blend of white blooms alongside subtle fruit nuances. Warm base notes like musk or soft wood emerge as it dries down, adding depth and sophistication. Reviewers praise its balanced mix of lively top notes and a comforting finish.
YouTuber The Santa Maria says we should pay attention to the slight woody or amber undertones as an influence over whether it may feel powdery, sweet, or even clean (which can sometimes feel antiseptic, it’s a tightrope to balance on for any perfume maker). She also says that Devotion is noticeable for several hours and its not an overpowering experience.
Devotion’s scent profile plays well to day, evening, or special events. It really is an anytime scent.
Media, Commercials
Its growing popularity can be attributed partly to a commercial featuring Katy Perry. Dolce & Gabbana’s campaign using Perry has accelerated this fragrance’s brand awareness by leaps and bounds. There are no other celebrity endorsements, only Perry’s massive celebrity fuel as placed this collaboration on the radar of fragrance enthusiasts who appreciate contemporary creations. The commercial features Perry touring through Italy as locals gravitate to her. She’s smiling, energetic, and authentic as a sexy man seems to always notice her vibrance. Its an energetic play, lending Devotion to a myriad of use cases as it wraps up with her finding herself with a sexy man, alone. In other words, Devotion, through Perry, wants you see this fragrance as one that last through a day at the ocean, a walk through a village, but can end in romance.
