What does King of the Game (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Cardamom, lemon and black pepper open it bright with a light touch of spice. In the heart, Granny Smith apple and coffee take over, turning the fruity freshness into a gourmand warmth. Cedar, vanilla and patchouli close it out on a sweet, woody note.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters spread across all four seasons almost evenly, with spring and summer slightly ahead, and mostly suggest it for leisure and daily wear, though evenings and nights out work too. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium and Mugler A*Men Ultra Zest have a close profile.
