The review
Vortex scores 6.3 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Devotion.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Devotion's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $64 per 100ml it costs 51% less than Devotion — the 3rd cheapest of 5 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Dolce&Gabbana Devotion is candied lemon and bergamot at first, orange blossom and cake accord at its heart and vanilla, Tonka Bean and musk at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- candied lemon
- bergamot
Heart
- orange blossom
- cake accord
Base
- vanilla
- Tonka Bean
- musk
Candied lemon folded into vanilla sponge, the sweetest thing in the D&G catalogue.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
