What does King's Road (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, with winter further behind. It suits daily, leisure and business wear, and is chosen less often for nights out.

It opens bright with bergamot, grapefruit, blackcurrant and lavender. In the heart, nutmeg, cinnamon and black pepper add spice while aquatic notes keep it airy. The base settles on Singapore patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood, softened by white musk.
