It's interesting to note what goes behind creating a fragrance - from inspiration to the feelings it evokes and its bottling. Fragrances are also personal; they are often a sweet reminder of memories of the past that we cherish. The most recent launch, Devotion, from Dolce & Gabbana, is the brainchild of Olivier Cresp, who narrates how a meal in Italy led him to create a citrusy delight that he defines the new fragrance as. "The chef of the establishment surprised us with a dessert that perfectly encapsulates Italy's spirit - the famous Panettone. Its warm aroma enveloped us, creating an olfactory symphony that resonated deep within my senses," he shares. Cresp lets us into the world of creating a fragrance, its notes, and why he thinks it transports the wearer to the world of joy and passion.
ELLE: What would you say is the essence of the fragrance, Devotion?
Olivier Cresp (OC): Devotion is a fragrance that encapsulates moments of pure joy and indulgence, celebrating the richness of life's pleasures. The delightful combination creates an olfactory experience that is not only opulent and comforting but also exuberantly joyful. A fragrance that speaks to both sophistication and the sheer delight of revelling in life's moments.
ELLE: If the fragrance could transport us to another place, where will Devotion take the wearer?
