BURBERRY GODDESS VS DOLCE & GABBANA'S DEVOTION: Which one is best?

[@natesmom2244]

Goddess is a nice warm vanilla that works well for fall & winter, i like it but it's not my favorite Burberry scent. When i first smelled Devotion i literally died and went to Heaven, omg it smells so amazing. No lemon to me, but a candied orange and vanilla and sort of a beachy scent in the dry down. The bottle is so beautiful too, I can't get enough of it!

[@CanadaKim1978]

I love both but Devotion is great for going out and the Goddess for staying in…for me anyway. I really don’t understand where other reviewers are getting the lemon scent from…other than what Fragrantica says…but oh well…I’m glad it doesn’t as lemon does not work on my body chemistry 😊. Thank you so much for watching 😊❤️~Kim

[@decadentnight]

Is either one powdery? I can't do powdery scents but I'm curious about both of these

[@CanadaKim1978]

@decadentnight I don’t get a powdery note from either. I think the best question to ask yourself (if your going to get just one of these) is: would I rather have a bakery note with my vanilla (lemon) or would you like a relaxing lavender that isn’t herbal. Hope this helps and that you for watching ❤️😊~Kim

[@decadentnight]

@@CanadaKim1978 ok thanks! Id probably enjoy both then haha

[@Sakuyamon]

I love devotion, I get lemon in the first minute, it very quickly goes into lemon muffins! Its perfect for winter and so sweet and cozy!

[@gramcracker3able]

I absolutely do not get any lemon in Devotion either, so I’m glad I’m not alone!!! I have both of these but Devotion is going to be my go to every day, I’m constantly smelling my wrist all day and when it fades I spray again! 😊

[@sferg4593]

Great review and confirmed some of what I experienced. I too was interested in both of these fragrances so in September I tested both several times . I thought both were gorgeous at first, but Goddess dried down to a French soapy scent on me - all lavender - and sadly gave me a headache. Whereas Devotion initially on the dry down had a lemon meringue scent that turned to a gentle baked lemon cookie due to the vanilla. It was addictive and surprisingly subtle. I splurged on a large bottle of Devotion (using points at Shoppers Drug Mart!!) and one month later I still love it. It is not long lasting on me, but I really love it for the fall. Yummy.

[@CanadaKim1978]

Devotion only last about 4 hours on me but my body chemistry just gobbles up fragrance. I like both but I think Goddess will be a bedtime scent for me (I don’t get a headache from it but I can see what you’re saying about the lavender soap scent). I will say…if designers or houses are releasing VANILLA fragrances for the next 4 months…I’m in trouble 😳. I love vanilla forward scents. Thank you so much for watching ❤️😊~Kim

[@Maxi.Dounut]

I sprayed burberry goddess on my wrist two days ago AND I STILL smell it. It’s warm, calming and sophisticated. Never wearing another perfume for quite a while.

[@CanadaKim1978]

It’s a gorgeous fragrance. Enjoy ❤️😊~Kim

[@LexyBebe]

I’m a Perfume Critic & I’m Must Say I’m Sooo Disappointed with Dolce & Gabbana Devotion 😢Unfortunately it smells horrible When I tell you I Literally have Every D&G Bottle ! I was Expecting So Much More!!!! Now Burberry goddess 1 st literally last all day & leaves a beautiful vanilla note! So my vote is Burberry✅ 💯

[@CanadaKim1978]

I 💯 agree with you. My only hope is that 2024 is the year of vanillas! I want all the rich, intoxicating vanillas teehee ❤️😊~Kim

[@whatsupw9017]

Well I love devotion ❤

[@CanadaKim1978]

@whatsupw9017 that’s awesome! I think the reason I do t enjoy it is the lemon. For some reason lemon turns sour on me ❤️😊~Kim

[@shayzelali5635]

Devotion is a candied lemon reminds me a lot of D&G light blue! goddess is a very beautiful girly clean vanilla

[@CanadaKim1978]

My favourite of the two is Goddess ❤️😊~Kim

[@missmarilynn4905]

I received a sample of Goddess and really like it! It reminds me of Libre, but then with a bit more vanilla.

[@CanadaKim1978]

I have the Libre Intense so that one is VERY vanilla heavy. Devotion is really nice for Vanilla lovers ❤️😊~Kim

[@marilyndavis649]

Don't get the lemon in the Devotion either, thankfully!! I absolutely love it!! Goddess was not a love for me! The vanilla drydown in Devotion is heavenly!! Watching from Ontario 😊!!

[@CanadaKim1978]

Represent Ontario girl!!! I totally agree with you on the dry down of Devotion…and no lemon! Woohoo!❤️🇨🇦~Kim

[@notimportant123]

The comparison I've been looking for! I already had Goddess (paid $70 in a Sephora set) and Devotion is on sale at Jomasshop for $45. Both 1 oz.

[@CanadaKim1978]

Thank you so much for watching ❤️😊~Kim

[@VIsidore]

I love Devotion. I don't smell lemon. I haven't worn it out yet. I like how sweet it is. I got it at the 20% off Sephora sale as a blind buy. I'm very pleased with it.

[@CanadaKim1978]

Getting it on a sale is awesome! 😊❤️~Kim

[@VIsidore]

@@CanadaKim1978 I should have purchased a bigger bottle. Who knew?

[@Cloverdosee]

So strange u don’t get lemon.. it was the first and most distinctive scent to me as a lemon lover!

[@CanadaKim1978]

Lemon is tricky on me. I don’t usually get lemon scents…and many times it goes almost sour on me. Thank you for watching 😊❤️~Kim

[@Niccis_Narrative]

Ever since a girl’s pepper spray went off in high school back in 1998, whenever I smell something spicy, it takes me back to that day. Got the mini of the goddess, thinking the front would have metal and not just whatever it’s made out of. I hate it w a passion. And I love vanilla, also hate the Kayali vanilla one. But the devotion, smells like lemon cake batter to me, and I am all about lemon cake smells. So it’s my fave.

[@CanadaKim1978]

That’s cool. It’s a good thing their are tens of thousands of fragrances available for all of us. Everyone’s likes/dislikes are different 😊❤️~Kim

[@Abirawmi]

Wait how is goddess even unisex lol. It's extremely feminine

[@CanadaKim1978]

I could see men enjoying this lavender/vanilla combination. Scent is very subjective. Thank you for watching ❤️😊~Kim

[@RalucaBlajut]

I don’t get lemon in Devotion either! Maybe a bit of candied fruits, but not lemons. It’s beautiful! I still prefer Goddess, though, it’s more wearable for me, but I love and will keep both of them ❤❤❤

[@CanadaKim1978]

I completely agree with you. I love both but that comfort factor that the lavender gives Goddesses, make that one stand out a bit more to me as well. Thank you so much for watching 😊❤️~Kim

[@scentsofmoon]

Wow today i had to choose one out the two.i got Burberry one.

[@CanadaKim1978]

It’s my favourite of the 2 as well. Enjoy ❤️😊~Kim

[@marileneboschofsky88]

I prefer Devotion for sure

[@HeatherAbbott-bd3cm]

I couldn’t relate to your review at all. Burberry goddess is so not masculine. My mouth fell open to hear you say that. I think Devotion outclasses Goddess especially in longevity. I often love to spray Devotion after a shower before going to bed and even after tossing and turning in sleep I can still smell it in the morning. Devotion is a stunning fragrance and I love it and nicer than Goddess on my opinion which I find harsh in comparison.

[@CanadaKim1978]

Everyone is entitled to their own option and everyone has different body chemistry. Thank you for watching 😊~Kim

[@madammadonna]

I didn't get the very first sniff from Devotion (like first 5 min) cause I sprayed it in the store, maybe I would have picked up the lemon note there. But the drydown was GORGEOUS! Sweet, creamy vanilla. No citrus, no real flowers either (but I tend to like orange blossom anyway). My mom loved the drydown, too. I want this perfume, cause I love vanilla, just as you. But I didn't even spray the Goddess, cause I stronly dislike lavender scent and I didn't like what I smelled from the bottle.

[@CanadaKim1978]

I love orange blossom as well. Unfortunately for me…I didn’t get the longevity 🤷🏼‍♀️. But that’s ok. Thank you for watching ❤️😊~Kim

[@tarantulady8565]

Ha! I still have some Glace by Bite also…love it & will use it up regardless of the date. If it doesn’t stink & isn’t changing in any way I can detect, I’m using it.😬😬😂👍

[@CanadaKim1978]

It’s such a great colour. Wish Bite didn’t go under …sigh. Thank you for watching ❤️😊~Kim

[@NatashaSamuels]

My nose doesn’t pick up the lavender in Goddess. It’s a soft, beautiful vanilla

[@CanadaKim1978]

Compared to Devotion, I do smell a light lavender but really love how the vanilla warms up on my skin during dry-down. Thank you so much for watching Natasha 😊❤️~Kim

[@Muchacandela]

Devotion reminds of Lemon Pledge when I smelled it

[@CanadaKim1978]

Fair. On myself, I don’t get the lemon but more of a bakery note and thick, sweet vanilla. Funny because when I filmed this video Fragrantica only showed 3 notes…when I did a video about a week later, all the sudden Fragrantica added 2 more notes…and that I agree with as a cake (non lemon) note was added. I like Devition but it wouldn’t be my signature scent. Thank you so much for watching ❤️😊~Kim

[@VeronicaLopez-c9e]

Goddess smells like a mixture of Burberry Brit and CH Good Girl the first one the . Navy blue One

[@CanadaKim1978]

Oh cool! I had the BB at one time…now I need to go smell both BB and CH (original). Great comparisons ❤️😊~Kim

[@crystalborealisstudio]

I have put Goddess on before going to bed 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@CanadaKim1978]

Isn’t it really nice for bedtime?!? Thank you for watching ❤️😊~Kim

[@poodlepip123]

Goddess is a sexy winter/fall scent for me and devotion is summery!

[@CanadaKim1978]

That makes good sense for sure. The lemon in Devotion it bright and very summery ❤️😊~Kim

[@kimgallant5294]

Great video! I like them both….goddess is definitely more of a warm, cozy scent! I was at SDM yesterday and tried both. It’s hard to decide between them. I am going back tomorrow for 20x event. I may end up with a small bottle of both 🤣🤣

[@CanadaKim1978]

Yes to both lol! 😆🙊🤣

[@pozziellen]

I love both, but I think Goddess is more versatile.

[@CanadaKim1978]

I totally agree!❤️😊~Kim

[@amy6174]

Omg, just because it has lavander is not an unisex fragrance. Nice video, but please stop with the idea that burberry goddess is an unisex. I do not want to smell this fragrance on a masculin man 😵... Please no, no no... Is a feminine fragrance

[@amy6174]

Is your husband open to use with you the burberry goddess? Probably not :)

[@CanadaKim1978]

He wears what he wants…mostly diesel as he works on submarines. 😊

[@CanadaKim1978]

Most male fragrances have lavender in them, this was STRESSED during my video. I wear a lot of male leaning/unisex fragrances and love them. Thank you for your opinion ❤️

[@tarantulady8565]

Agreed. It’s not in any way masculine, imo. It’s sweet, tart & floral to my nose. I’d legit look sideways 👀 at any masculine man who wore Goddess.

[@miiana22]

Why a vs. I layer them together! It's my signature scent 😂

[@CanadaKim1978]

When you layer them together, what one note stands out on you the most? The vanilla, lavender or lemon? 😊❤️~Kim

[@julieg_quebec-julesselivre8641]

The bottle are so similar! Goddess doesn’t work for me so I won’t blind buy the other… 😅 Going to Shoppers this weekend! 😉

[@CanadaKim1978]

Definitely check out Devotion. It’s a sweater vanilla without a lot of floral. And it’s 20x the points at SDM this weekend (I believe) yay! Have a great weekend Julie ❤️😊🇨🇦~Kim

[@julieg_quebec-julesselivre8641]

@@CanadaKim1978 yes to 20x!! 🥳🥳

[@YvonneOnline]

It was an instant love for Devotion, I went and tested both yesterday, I had highest hopes for BB Goddess, it lacked character for me.

[@CanadaKim1978]

I enjoy both but for different occasions. The lavender in Goddess really relaxes me and I enjoy my cozy night in and as a bedtime fragrance where Devotion is a great easy grab for me to head out the door and have some fun. Thank you so much for watching 😊❤️~Kim

[@aorAor-b9z]

Devotion is definitely my favorite it's elegant fresh and delicious, I don't like the lavender on perfumes it remind me a sunscreen smell.

[@CanadaKim1978]

Unfortunately I just can’t do lemon. Either Devotion smelling like lemon and vanilla crème…I’m sad it didn’t work for me. I was able to sell it at a good price to someone who can enjoy it more than myself. ❤️😊~Kim

@moonriverandme I’ll have try layering the both of them together 😊

[@derred723]

I'm a man i love this. No wonder. You saying it leans unisex. Thing is most men, again i'm one, I think tend to have a phobia of being associated with anything feminine and so to sell stuff to men it seems EVERY designer markets their scents as overtly male or overtly female. Personally i think it's to facilitates sales.

[@CanadaKim1978]

I 100% agree with you, thank you for voicing your opinion.

[@carolinatabaipinese7752]

I just smelled the Devotion today for the first time and I HAD to own it ❤ I will try the Goddess but im addicted to the Devotion ❤

[@CanadaKim1978]

It’s lovely and quite popular. I’m really happy that designers are brining out more gourmand fragrance…my favourite category ❤️😊~Kim

[@LoveandMisses]

There are a lot of people who love the candied citrus vanilla profile. Of course some people can't stand it. I love Devotion. Despite the hype. I can get it for $103.00 at Jonas Shop. Steal! It is all a matter of personal preference..plain and simple.

[@LoveandMisses]

$ 103 for 3.4 ml

[@CanadaKim1978]

Totally agree. Scent preferences are subjective. I enjoy Goddess a bit more than Devotion. What I do enjoy the most…that designers are doing vanilla forward scents. Vanilla is such a great scent note. Thank you for watching 😊❤️~Kim

[@lisakiara10]

why would you spray a perfume to go to bed? what a waste😮

[@CanadaKim1978]

Not a waste it a scent you love calms you before bed. Many companies also promote lotions to wear before bed (eg LUSH sleepy lotion). Thank you for watch ❤️😊~Kim

[@lisakiara10]

@CanadaKim1978 yes, I can see this with pillow mists or even body lotions, shower gels or baths. but a perfume is more expensive, I wouldn't use it this way 🙃 to each his own🙈

@lisakiara10 some of my favourite bedtime fragrances are very reasonably priced. Drugstore is amazing for that. ❤️😊~Kim

If you own goddess, have you tried layering it with a stronger vanilla? I can see why you get men’s shower gel…lavender is hit/miss. I need my lavender to be sweet and not herbal. Thank you for watching ❤️😊~Kim
