K by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum Intense

Wow! Where do I start this is such an underrated gem please do not go by the reviews you see on YouTube or the rating that you see on this site because it does not justify how well crafted this fragrance is. I always encourage people to please go out and try it on your skin before you make a final decision especially if you're new to the fragrance game. Because you really don't know how your skin chemistry will work with certain notes if you're in advanced then you have a better idea on how notes work. Now back to K intense this fragrance is amazing with high quality ingredients nothing synthetic here. The opening is bright and citrusy and really well done I saw comment where someone said that they wished that they replace the opening with honey I have to disagree I think the opening is perfect and draws you in. But the dry down is where the magic really starts to unfold the Fig saffron combination works beautifully it dries down to soapy creamy sexiness! The leather in this fragrance is not animalic at all it's more on the sweet side which isn't a bad thing because it still maintains its masculine scent profile and does not come off playful. In conclusion would I recommend this fragrance absolutely it's a great everyday blue fragrance with a twist. I do think the marketing could have been handled better by Dolce Gabbana because although it's in the blue category there's nothing that comes off as a blue fragrance in my opinion other than the dry down being soapy but even still there's a lot more going on here than your generic run of the mill blue fragrance. I like this fragrance so much it is currently replaced my Dylan blue as my grab-and-go everyday type of scent is that good it's sexy and it will Garner attention and compliments.

Ok, this will be my final review for this and then I'll remove a bunch of them. This is extremely underrated which makes it cool and quirky. It's very smart considering the saffron note, Italian enough, and extremely sexual without being dirty. Think of it this way: this is what a woman would ideal want a man to smell like... let's say she wants to get very nasty with you, you don't need a fragrance that is dirtier or animal, something that feels delicious and absorbs the girl and is clean works better. The fig, leather and saffron feel really sexual to me and then the blood orange and the lemon make the opening more impressive and interesting, however I would prolly prefer it if it wasn't a circus fragrance and used something like honey instead. Things to note that are interesting is that the perfumer of this worked with Hamid Merati-Kashani who did Layton which seems to be the new Aventus in the niche market, when she was making scandal gold woman and they used saffron and leather there too. And being Persian he knows how to use saffron. So you see there's quite a bit of thought and experience behind this. This is an Eau de Parfum, Roja Dove made a good point once and said that eau de toilette is more intense because there's more alcohol and alcohol evaporates quicker, and that's absolutely true, so consider this, it won't be as sharp and intense as an eau de toilette. It's pretty strong for a Dolce and Gabbana, since it's Eau de Parfum actually I think spraying more makes it work better.

I agree with a lot of others here and this cologne deserves at least a 4. First of all Dolce and Gabbana should have given this a better bottle and not just the darker version of the eau de Parfum. This definitely does deserve the name King if the K is to mean that however this is too good to be in the K line compared to the rest. I disagree with a lot of others who say it's very similar to the eau de Parfum. It's a little similar. They seem to market this as a saffron, fig and leather combo however according to this website it has some citrus but I highly doubt it since Dolce and Gabbana also doesn't mention anything but leather saffron and fig either. The combo is pretty smart and it does feel like a king unlike the eau de Parfum. The low rating seems to be because of the price but then again I can buy it very cheap in Italy now so it does get cheap. I've been testing a lot and nothing is like this in the market. The Prada eau de Parfum intense has got saffron but let me tell you as a Persian, it doesn't make use of saffron the way this one does. I've been liking D and G a lot and pour Homme is my favourite but among this and The One I would actually choose this. This is pretty cool. Longevity is great. Very charismatic feeling.

Not familiar with this line but found this today, a 100 ml for about $55, complete steal! It is a classic blue fragrance but one that has a lot of bite and little bit darker than your average Blue. The notes are very accurate to my nose, juicy fig and bity leather that mingles well with the saffron. Anosmia king however! I turned anosmic literally 5 seconds after first spraying this, but then it returned shortly after, strong push initially but relatively subdued projection later on. Longevity is solid 7 hours something territory. To me it belongs to the same family of Blues like Dylan Blue etc. Imagine you take Dylan Blue, add a lot of leather and amp up the fig and saffron and make the fragrance even darker. (I'm not saying they're identical, just that they belong on the same shelf of dark blues). No clue why K is seemingly not doing so well. Maybe too late on the Blue fragrance trend? Not a single one of the K's are at 4+ on here, that's unheard of for any major designer blue fragrance line. It's almost like a targeted hate campaign lol. I think the line is just not standout enough in an ocean of Blues. Late drydown is the typical ambroxan wood.

Well, i was interested in this one just because i like the EDT but find it flat in the drydown, and the EDP, although more dense and sweeter, didn't convinced me too. This is really different in the opening. Saffron is present, giving its fresh, metallic and slightly bitter nuance. Which is great because the fruity DNA of the EDP is toned down with the help of saffron. The soft leather note gives this fragrance a sophistication that I didn't expect. Really nice one. Super smooth, rounded and refined. I'll probably get a bottle of this. Not a everyday scent. I think this will be great on night time events, in spring or fall, but in a summer night will do great too. The up scale version of EDP. Dolce & Gabbana is doing great since they left Shiseido and became independent. Their fragrances are more refined, high quality, and interesting. Even the bottle, the put a new sprayer that is much better than the previous one. Good job D&G
