What does The King of the Oceans smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though the number of votes is small, so the rating is best read with caution. It is unisex in character, and no clear lean towards a particular season or occasion shows.

As a whole, kelp and rosemary bring freshness, while Papua oud, cedarwood, vetiver and Mysore sandalwood give it a woody depth. Patchouli and elemi resin add an earthy, resinous tone, and civet, castoreum and white ambergris lend an animal, salty warmth. Green and earthy accords round out its mossy, raw feel.
