K by Dolce & Gabbana Parfum

Wow. This one is great. Just goes to show, the score doesn't ALWAYS reflect accurately, as some that dislike this line will come here just to vote it down. You need to like the K line, or at least be familiar with that DNA, to appreciate this one. If you don't like the base DNA, you will probably talk shit on this one too. I like the K line, but LOVE the intense. That flanker is excellent. This one blows the intense out of the water. This stuff is incredible. Full bottle worthy for sure. Notes look heavy, but the fragrance wears lighter than you'd think. But it has really good longevity, and sillage that is noticeable but not overpowering. The fig is glaringly evident, almost a superdose of it. Combined with the caramel, it just works. I dislike vanilla in fragrances, and nowadays so many things are dialed up to 100 with vanilla, this is a nice change of pace. Sweet, but in a completely different way. Go ahead and dismiss this straight away if you want, but I'd recommend trying it first, then make up your mind. You still may not like it, but I personally am going full bottle on this offering. I really like this one. Maybe when it hits discounters, though. RRP is too high on most everything these days.

To me this does smell like its predecessors. Predominately the EDP intense. But it’s definitely the best from the bunch. This is the K dna perfected and if you love the EDP or EDP intense you will love this one. It’s deeper and richer, more seductive. And surprisingly pretty versatile. Now the performance doesn’t seem to be anything crazy and slightly a letdown. As a Parfum you’d expect it to sit closer to the skin which this does. Its projection is quite low. The longevity is fine I’ll smell it after a whole day of work. If the projection was amped up this would be one of my favorites. Also I may just go nose blind to this dna quickly, i had the same problem with the other ones.

I haven’t really familiarised myself with the previous flankers. Of course Iv smelled them but I forgot how they smell. So my judgement is not influenced and I’m not comparing. This is very nice. Well rounded, quality, deep. Off the top it smells like generic sweet blueish fragrance but after 10 minutes it starts developing and the fig really starts really shining through. It becomes a bit salty, caramely, sweet, I also get a bit of leather. Super mass appealing Dries down to a smooth sophisticated, sweet, woody fragrance with a touch off fruitiness from the fig. You can wear this all year round for sure solid 9/10 in it’s category

I like it.. Very pleasant fig, woods and spice. Can't tell if I like this one or the EDP Intense more, but both are great in my book. I think it reminds me of Mancera's Silver Blue.... or maybe Pasha de Cartier Parfum... Will test this out and update... Update 6/17/25 All three of the fragrances I mentioned above have a little overlap in that, to me, they come of as woody, warm and spicy. I think K Parfum is the sweetest (not overly so) of the three and would definitely be the most mass appealing, although they're all good in my book.

Man this stuff is good, I’ve never bought a licorice nor Carmel fragrance before so I was a little nervous but, this stuff is damn good. Licorice and Carmel notes aren’t what you’d expect the mix with sandalwood is amazing, who knew that would be a good blend.also someone said it smells picklely after a few hours, that’s just not true at all. What you smell After like 15-20 minutes is what you get for the next 4-5 hours
