the King perfume with personality

This perfume in the first spray caught my attention, powerful powerful, a punch of spices with a lot of character such as cardamom, saffron and cloves soaked in a very exquisite rum. Very strong output that softens with the output of other floral notes and sweetened by the
Vanilla and tonka but at the same time with a dark background full of personality with notes such as
Patchouli, tobacco, leather among other things
Excellent aroma , mature , elegant , mysterious and a very high yield . It
I highly recommend

The King

“Going out to eat today, I’m wearing my Orchid Leather. Splash! Tandoori drips” - Not quite a haiku,
although the mention of a winter perfume is indeed a K i g o, however - due to the possessive pronoun, the syllable count doesn’t add up.

OK… Moving on:
“Where has the incense note gone today? Instead, I suddenly remember something. An exquisite dish - from my vanished childhood…”
No idea, maybe my first currywurst. I ordered the sample because I found this cinnamon-cardamom-clove combo mega in our favorite restaurant, where they drink tea or smell like tea, and since then I’ve been trying to find the perfect perfume with this combo...
It’s unnecessary to point out: The King missed the mark again. But, OK, finding everything you seek is anyway not good in life, and maybe there are aromas and combos of aromas that are better suited in the cup than in the bottle.

The distant resemblance to Orchid Leather might just be in my head, The King comes off more umami due to the currywurst twist. And somehow spicier - But, none of that bothers me. On the contrary: It’s a beautiful, long-lasting scent that I fell head over heels for on my fifth try. (I probably had to get over the disappointment that this scent also doesn’t smell like cinnamon/cardamom-clove tea.)
Very unique - with mega sillage, and indeed free of MSG.

Update: Fell in Love. My winter signature. V o l l good. Masculine, not sweet, the King, indeed. And unfortunately no longer available in stores :O !

Plum and Spices - And The Most Beautiful Cozy Drydown

The King, the third fragrance I tested from the Ahood collection, is also the one with the most interesting top note. Here, the clove takes the lead and creates two poles in combination with cinnamon, saffron, and plum. On one side, there's the spicy, almost angular clove, with its underlying sharpness. Added to this is a non-sweet plum with cinnamon. This combination, at first whiff, seems more suited for the Christmas season and has tendencies of Silesian gingerbread aroma.

Relatively quickly, I get an impression of a sharp, spiced Plum Japonais. I’ll just ignore the occasional skewed licorice impressions my brain throws in. These are also history after about 15 minutes, and the fragrance becomes increasingly harmonious. Perhaps I am already getting used to it.

For the spicy plum-clove theme now continues, with the clove's presence diminishing, over the next two hours and increasingly allows room for floral accords. A few deep red rose sprinkles now weave through the spice. So it is by no means aldehydic. We remain oriental. And the transition will now last a good three more hours.

Underneath, a truly beautiful tobacco-resin note mixes in, which fits wonderfully with the plum (in red bloom). In the background, a bit of chocolate melts. From the second hour, with the dimming of the clove, begins the absolutely unique and special drydown that characterizes this fragrance.

With a wear time of 11+ hours, we are now treated to an indescribably beautiful, non-sweet oriental with fruit, which also comforts over the angular top note clove.

Should one not have liked that. :)

PS: As I just realized, The King shares the complete pyramid with Tiangou from the same house - only that The King lists plum and immortelle additionally. So there was indeed a "model" in the form of a little dog for 1000€ ;)

Dried plum rose - beautifully spiced with the listed spices, a very subtle curry note, tobacco. I like it.

This king loves juicy-sweet fruit (plum), glorious saffron-cinnamon, cloves, proud flowers, resins & woods. Rather subtle, but refined.

Which monarch would wear something like this? Fruity on my skin! Sweet, juicy plum with cardamom and cinnamon. Could be for dessert (...)

A lot of cinnamon, a lot of clove, a lot of plum, a lot of rose. Not as nice as expected.

For me, it leans about 15% too much towards fruity-rosy. The animalistic notes are there, but not enough. Friendly, bright, too sweet? I don't like it.
