Prepare to make room on your vanity: Dolce & Gabbana’s newest fragrance is about to become a favorite. With notes of orange blossom, lemon, and vanilla, Devotion is subtle enough to wear every day while still feeling fun and fresh.

We caught up with Perry to get the scoop on her collaboration with D&G, plus everything you want to know about the perfume that smells good enough to eat.

Who What Wear: How would you describe the fragrance in your own words?
Katy Perry: It’s all my favorite things: vanilla, candied citrus—it’s just the yummiest fragrance! So good you can almost taste it.
WWW: Is Devotion a daytime or nighttime scent?
Perry: It’s definitely an all-day fragrance. The citrus notes are light and bright for day, but the vanilla notes make it sexy for night, too.
WWW: What made you want to collaborate with Dolce & Gabbana? And why is this partnership a good fit?
Perry: I remember wearing this leopard print Dolce & Gabbana dress on Warped Tour all the way back in 2008, and I’ve worn them everywhere from the Met Gala to Coachella, to America Idol to my music video for “When I’m Gone.” They feel like a part of my style DNA, and I’ve always loved working with Stefano and Domenico.
WWW: What was your experience working with the brand, and on this campaign?
Perry: I’ve had such a fun experience on this campaign. When you start the relationship with three days on Capri, you can’t go wrong! I got to be on a boat for some of the scenes, and then walked all around the island, getting in some pizza and pasta along the way. It’s also been wonderful being in NYC and seeing my fans who also love Dolce & Gabbana at Macy’s!
