Describe K by Dolce & Gabbana in more detail: K is a rebellious but intriguing masculine fragrance that has a bold signature. It makes a statement.

The flacon has not changed except for the colour and I like it very much. Despite many opinions, I don't find it kitschy and beautiful to look at. Especially the lid, which is a grain here, I like very much The durability has improved significantly compared to the original and you are rewarded with 4 sprayers with 8-9h. In the first two hours it projects properly, after that it flattens out a bit but still stays present. K by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum maintains the chiselled geometric shape of the original bottle with a deeper shade of royal blue, highlighting the intensity of a powerful and magnetic perfume for men. The lacquered glass offers an intimate glimpse at the scent it houses. The iconic crown which tops the signature silhouette is overlaid with a burnished silver patina, accentuating the noble blue of its lapis dome and the stone orbs that surround it. On the bottle, the crowned letter K evokes the symbol of royalty combined with a daring simplicity that is contemporary in character. Majestic and memorable, the bottle perfectly represents the fascinating world of a modern king. What do you think K by Dolce&Gabbana smells similar to? Hugo Boss BOSS Bottled Intense Eau de Parfum. In my opinion, the fragrance is more suitable for young dynamics (or those who think they are :-) ), is not suitable for hot summer days due to its subliminal sweetness, easy to wear in autumn and spring, blessed with a good portion of durability. The Sillage is quite strong in the beginning, but then it diminishes just as much, in my opinion more is possible. Flacon: Nicely made, especially the "lid" is something different, something new.You don’t have to be born into royalty anymore. Thanks to Dolce&Gabbana, you can now spray the charm and courage of a king straight onto your pulse points. K by Dolce&Gabbana is the sovereign spritz in question, a fragrance for men first released in 2019 as an Eau de Toilette. Now, in 2020 I’m reviewing the latest member of the range, K Eau de Parfum. Will it be another crowning moment for Italian fashion house, Dolce&Gabbana? Let’s find out… Built on the legacy of the original Eau de Toilette, K by Dolce&Gabbana Eau de Parfum unveils a sensual scent that embodies the spirit of a man who chooses his destiny with passion and confidence. Inspired by the earthy, rugged landscape of Tuscany, this is the intense, fascinating version that unfolds a peppery enchanting heart and a stronger woody base.

K Eau de Parfum continues the style of the original K Eau de Toilette bottle. It has a geometric design and is topped with the iconic crown cap, which is a burnished silver for this concentration. The main difference is the colour of the bottle; for the Eau de Parfum, the blue is deeper to reflect the intensity of the juice inside. What do you think K Eau de Parfum smells similar to? I’d say if you like Mont Blanc Explorer or DIOR Sauvage this would be a good fit. I’m a fan of Sauvage and think this is a fresher take for an iconic smell. You can’t help but be drawn to it. Lavender, Geranium, and clary sage are in the heart notes that support the fragrance and gives it that fresh aromatic scent, especially the lavender having a fresh, clean scent. I’m going to stray off and say that “lavender is under-appreciated by some folks”

The Notes:

From both sight and odour, the first impression of K chimes with the hallmarks of Paco Rabanne Invictus, Yves Saint Laurent Y, and Dior Sauvage, signposting a copycat fruity aquatic that offers little for the imagination. Give it 30 minutes, and something unexpected blooms that makes the journey through the boredom worthwhile, providing a satisfying signature that twists the generic narrative in a new direction.

K. Just K and done. Basically I'm a big fan when people are able to get to the point with what they want to tell you. But a simple, single letter for a fragrance takes getting used to. Describe K by Dolce&Gabbana in more detail: It’s quite a robust manly fragrance, but it has a soft edge to it too, ensuring the ease of wear. You’ll make an impact but won’t offend. K by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum is a sensual scent for men with a deep, woody base and endlessly spicy notes. Dolce & Gabbana reveals the intense and passionate facets of a modern king who chooses his destiny with passion and confidence. Itís inspired by the earthiness of the rugged landscape of Tuscany and builds on the legacy of K by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Toilette. However, the Eau de Parfum version has a deeper, more voluptuous and enchanting personality that embodies the life of an extraordinary man. K’s magic is revealed after the curtain call, as the overtly masculine references lose steam and a distinctly floral accord blooms over the citrus, communicating a rose-watered barber shop mask that irons out all of K’s creases into a mysterious luxury cream you’d find in a five-star hotel bathroom. The effect reminisces on Aventus but conjures the smell of wearing Aventus into a forest full of flowers. As the daydream trails out, its moving parts get slower and K withdraws into its hollow sugar nest. An invigorating fusion of zesty citruses with explosive blood orange and Sicilian lemon opens K by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum. Embellished by the freshness of juniper berry, this citrus blend is enhanced by sublime and spicy touches of cardamom, which kindles a spark of pimento essence to ignite the heart of the fragrance and magnify its passionate intensity. The combination of floral middle notes includes crunchy geranium, delicate clary sage and energising lavender. The sensuality of this woody perfume is intensified with the addition of a fig milk accord, which also lends to a smooth creamy touch. The fragrance then unfurls to a seductive base of cedarwood, smoky patchouli and earthy Nagarmotha wood. Deep, sensual and enticing, the scent perfectly reflects the passionate intensity of a king of today.

Where would you wear it? It’s quite a powerful, sophisticated scent so would likely wear it out to dinner/drinks of an evening If you’ve tried the original, this is a more intense version there’s no doubt about that. But Dolce&Gabbana haven’t ‘just’ dialled up the woodiness and sexiness – they’ve given the composition a rejig and added some new notes too. Whereas the Eau de Toilette opens citrus and floral, the Eau de Parfum’s first impression on the senses is warm and spicy. What both still have in common is that they present a great alternative to the fresh fragrances on the market. But at the end of the day, the content is what counts, so let's get down to business. Since it's an eau de parfum and not cologne, two sprayers should be enough for now. I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat it; I’m a firm believer that fragrance has no gender. But, if we’re talking about who the fragrance is targeted at, that’s men. But, if you like woody fragrance with a spicy-fresh twist – K is for you.
