K by Dolce & Gabbana
K by Dolce & Gabbana by Dolce & Gabbana is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2019 in the designer price tier. It opens with blood orange, lemon and juniper berry, moves into pimento, geranium and lavender and dries down to cedarwood, vetiver and patchouli. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Blood Orange Orange with a red-fruit edge. Richer and slightly jammy.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Heart
- Pimento Allspice — clove, cinnamon and nutmeg at once. Hot and rounded.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
