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

Tried it after i recieved a sample. Bought 100 ml the next day. Its very smooth and does not feel itchy to your throat or nose which makes it safe to any occasion and not irritate your surrounding folks. the sandalwood lasts 6h+ for me. I am not a fan of fruity perfumes but this one is very pleasant. Pair it up with JPG le male parfum and its next level!

Licorice forward with a dark nutty-fruity drydown bittersweet and masculine smell, it took time to grow on me but I ended up enjoying it Not to be worn casually, bold presence and not a mass appealing fragrance stronger than average performance

Something about the K dna really resonates with me. I'll agree this isn't 100% like its predecessor, but I still believe it holds up on its own.

I am suprised ginger is not on the list of notes for this fragrance, personally i think it smells quite like sweet ginger. Really good perfume.

bence en iyi ikinci dolce parfümü bu 1 bence intenso ama kafa kafaya giderler imza koku yapılır kral bu 10 numara

Criminally underrated for the price ($45 for 50ml). This stuff is insanely good. What a surprise from D&G

イチジクの香りとウッディな香り。リコリッシュの香りは知らないんですがおそらくその匂いがするんだと思います。9/10

Got a free sample through Influenster, expected the worst because of my feelings towards the rest of the line (moderate dislike of all), and ended up pleasantly surprised. Lightly fig-sweetened caramel and sandalwood. The caramel itself is hard to pick up beyond just sweetness, and the licorice blends into the sandalwood so it's not super pronounced - therefore, I'd say it's still a relatively safe, designer scent profile that doesn't do anything particularly interesting with the listed notes. That is to be expected from such a mainstream line though, which this one is absolutely the best of as well as the only one I will probably wear myself this coming spring. I actually quite like it for what it is. Probably not full price full bottle worthy for me, but at a steep discount or as a gift I'd keep it on the shelf. That is saying a LOT for a K flanker - I really do not like any of the others and would trash them before giving them to anyone I consider a friend, lol.

A blind buy after enjoying the EDP Intense and the EDP. The immediate opening is particularly good, like a fuller take on the EDP Intense. For a little while after that I get some similarity with Cavalli Uomo (original formulation). That then dissipates and becomes a bit more woody and rounded. The core DNA is still there, but is surrounded by a more old school masculine vibe (the sort of vibe you get with Sauvage Elixir, but it certainly isn't an attempt to mimick it). I can't decide if I'll keep this one or not, but it's certainly interesting enough to use a few times and see how I feel about it. I think if more of the EDP Intense was to be found in here then it would be really good; it would benefit from that blue-ish vibrancy.

This one is deep and a sensual and captivating fragrance, reminiscent of the sweet scents of oriental spices, smells sweet but not too much, clean and sexy, self-confidence and masculinity, it’s a bit different from the K line DNA but on a good way even though the DNA is still there ,less fruity than the previous release, I think this fits in many occasions, it’s pleasant, mass appealing, compliment getter, Like a conversation starter in a room. I like this version of K line 🥰🔥🔥😍

This one does not smell much like the three previous releases, this one is sweet and woodsy with a licorice in the background, the licorice is not to overpowering, the scent it self is ok but i wasn' t blown away by any means, it smells nothing like dior elixir at all, and the longevity was ok not that great, but a nice release if you like sweet scents i guess.

This perfume reminds me kinda of Dylan Blue but it has a sweeter touch to it and last longer on my skin than Dylan Blue. It smells sweet but not too much, clean and can be worn all the time imo. It's projecting ok and I got a couple of compliments wearing this. Even after 6 hours I could smell it on me. Might be a bit overpriced

Koku olarak K Intense ile neredeyse birebir aynı fakat onun daha karanlık hali gibi. Kalıcılık ise orta üst seviyelerde. Kış ayında kullanılacak daha güzel parfümler var fakat ofis ortamında veya sonbahar aylarında tercih edilebilir. Risksiz bir parfüm.

Nice sweet caramelized scent. More woody, less fruity than the previous ones. It semms light though. Need to make a full wear to really test it. But it's Nice.

Beautiful scent. Not sure how long or how much it projects.
