What does King's Road smell like?

It opens with rosewood and black pepper, dry and sharp. In the heart, saffron, iris and rose add a floral softness, with green and fruity touches alongside. The base of moss, sandalwood, patchouli, oud and amber settles into an earthy, woody and slightly animalic ground.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. Its dense character suits skin of any gender. Ajmal Khallab and By Terry Terryfic Oud Extrême have a close profile.
