K by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum
by Dolce&Gabbana
K by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum presents a refined, well-blended aromatic woody fragrance with a distinct green fig-centric identity. The opening features a bright, sparkling mix of blood orange, citrus, and pimento, layered with subtle spice from cardamom and juniper berries, creating a clean yet complex prelude. This evolves into a creamy, soft fig nectar heart, balanced by aromatic lavender and clary sage, lending an elegant, gentle warmth that persists through the drydown. The base notes of cedar, vetiver, patchouli, and cypriol add a sophisticated earthy depth, giving the scent structure and staying power without becoming overpowering, though a lingering soapy or shower-gel-like quality can be noted by some. Longevity is moderate to strong, with noticeable projection for several hours, and it performs well across day and spring/summer seasons. While some find it generic or synthetic, a substantial number of users praise its wearable versatility, surprising depth, and the subtle, appealing spiciness that elevates it beyond standard blue fragrances.
