The review

Desirable Addiction scores 6.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Devotion.

Maison Alhambra 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.

At $30 it costs 77% less than Devotion.

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 Maison Alhambra 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. Maison Alhambra 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.
