EarthyWhat does The King smell like?
It opens fresh and spicy with nutmeg, cardamom, lemon and bay leaf. Lavender and amber lead the heart, and in the base tonka bean and resins sweeten it into an oriental warmth. Fruity and earthy touches stay in the background.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It is worn for nights out and daily use, and reads masculine and modern. Otto Kern Signature Man (Eau de Toilette) and Laura Biagiotti Romamor Uomo have a close profile.
