What does Kingside smell like?

The opening pairs the brightness of grapefruit zest with cardamom spice and pistachio cream. In the heart, rum, pink peony and hazelnut flower bring out its floral and fruity side. The base of tonka bean absolute, almond milk, Peru balsam and Bourbon vanilla settles creamy, powdery and clearly sweet.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall, then spring, and very few choose summer. Evenings and nights out are the favoured occasions. On character, feminine and modern are tied, with masculine a little behind.
