It's slightly sweeter than any of those, especially in the opening, but that juniper berry in "K" is definitely the star of the show.

meant to be worn by somebody in their mid 20's to early 30's and requires a refined nose to really appreciate it for what it is.This is a nice fragrance though, it flew under my radar and I kinda just wrote it off like it was going to be really bad and it didn't get much love in the fragrance community but it deserves more love than it gets especially since for a fresh fragrance it's unique and has character it's not so generic. tuscany : because according to you everyone who doesn't share your opinion on this fragrance is a twat I take it.

It's fresh, clean, elegant, and I don't see it as an odd fragrance, and although it is not an ultra masculine scent, a man can rock this just fine.Also for me this beast mode performance, I don’t how some are not getting good longevity and projection here someone has to be lying. Not that I seek compliments but they come unsolicited when I wear this and it's not a overpowering scent at all. After a few minutes, a slightly aquatic base can be perceived with just a little sweetness, without any further changes in its development. sauvage was quite unique actually and the clones still smell way different like coach platinum (vanilla) and prada luna rossa carbon (soapy).

Respecting a crisp opening the scent carries a sharp accord of citrus, blood orange, lemon and juniper berries. Perfumes are often designed with top, middle and base notes, and designed to smell different based on the time after application. This fragrance is so odd, it opens up with a strong juniper, it smells a little mature but very intriguing. I tested both the EDT and EDP and, to my nose, they both smell almost exactly the same other than the EDP may be slightly richer and woodier (just as a true EDP should be), but the differences are negligible.The iconic crown which tops the signature silhouette is now overlaid with a burnished silver patina, accentuating the noble blue of its lapis dome and the stone-like orbs that encircle it. Even though K is not expensive, I think that its RRP is too high, because similar scents can be bought from Zara for a few quid. I think it’s the Juniper Berry and Clary Sage that are mainly playing on my olfactory sense in combination with the citruses and woody notes, and those are more mature smells as we know. It has some elements of fresh spiciness, some dry spices and some aromatic but isn’t good enough to land any of them. Then the heat of summer came and I took out Eros, Missoni, and this and found that K performed the best and worked really well in hot weather.

The drydown doesn't change much other than the fig tones down a little and the spicy, woody lavender-sage-patchouli base stays prominent.

Everything about K is gentle: the freshness, the sweetness, the spices, the saltiness - yes there's a savoury side to it, in my opinion .
