Devoted For Women

Devoted opens on a sparkling rush of raspberry, pomegranate and soft peach, the same vibrant fruit cocktail that defines Dior's Addict To Life. The dupe leans the fruit a little sweeter and juicier, keeping the cheerful, daytime mood intact. The heart settles into a fresh, clean rose lifted by lily of the valley and a whisper of jasmine, pretty and uncomplicated rather than deep. The drydown is a light, clean close of musk and Virginia cedar that stays close to the skin, mirroring the original's restrained, slightly short-lived base. This is innocent and easy rather than seductive, a transparent fruity floral that wears best in daylight. Longevity is moderate and projection is gentle, so it suits casual days, the office and easygoing dates in spring and summer.
