Which Should You Buy?
A daringly fresh take on the Born in Roma DNA, this fragrance melds vibrant bergamot and smoky coffee with a crisp, green backbone that feels both invigorating and urbane. A standout choice for the confident modern man.
A budget take on Dolce & Gabbana's Devotion Pour Homme - the same daring lemon-and-coffee combination over a dense patchouli base. Devoted Essence captures that unusual, old-school citrus-coffee character but reads flatter than the original, the coffee thinner and the patchouli rougher.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The vibrant bergamot and green facets make it ideal for spring, while the coffee and woody vetiver base give it enough depth for fall. It works in summer if applied lightly, but its warmth is less suited to deep winter.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh yet intriguing profile make it perfect for dates and casual outings. The coffee and vetiver lend enough sophistication for the office, but it is less suited for formal black-tie or intense sport settings.
Seasons
The coffee and earthy patchouli suit autumn and winter, with the bright lemon giving enough lift for cool spring.
Occasions
Bold and characterful, it works casually, at the office, day to day and on dates more than formal events.
