K Dolce & Gabbana 2019 Eau de Toilette
3
K by Dolce Gabbana old School?
Well, yesterday I smelled this eau de toilette for the first time at my buddy's place. He had told me days before,
"Hey, I bought a new perfume, the scent would be something for you."
Uhuhuh, I thought, well, I have to say he knows my entire collection and actually knows my fragrance preferences, which I, let's say, mostly favor.
My last acquisition was Dylan Blue by Versace, as I had also written to my friend almost simultaneously, "Here’s my new purchase, this one would be something for you."
Anyway, back to the Gabbana scent.
Yesterday, before we headed to the metro, I rang his doorbell, and as he opened it, he was already holding the bottle and showed me a sample of it, which I could keep.
I was really curious about what was coming my way. In the back of my mind was his earlier statement, "This one would be something for you."
So, I have gotten into the habit of always spraying a scent on my arm/sweater when I test it because I personally find that I can accurately test the development from the opening to the main line.
At first, I thought for the first minute, yeah, somehow fresh. A bit like shower gel.
But then, really right at the beginning, it suddenly shifted, and a spicy note came in that reminded me a bit of herbal soap with a fresh accent.
My friend asked, "And? Cool, right?"
"He said right away that the scent reminded him of an older fragrance, but he just couldn't put his finger on it."
I immediately said, "Yeah, it really has something extravagant, fresh-spicy, and I also had to admit that it reminded me of some fragrance from the past."
Now we headed to the metro, and the whole time I was aware of this spiciness on my left forearm. And you know how it is when you're thinking and thinking about where you know this scent from. And you just can't figure it out. A dreadful thing.
Well, I found and still find it super. It's certainly a matter of opinion; I find it different from other spicy scents, it stands out with a recognizability. And believe me, my arm long-sleeve shirt smelled of this fresh spiciness and herbs all night. Really great.
But I couldn't figure out which scents it reminded me of.
The only thing I immediately thought was that it somehow has an old-school vibe.
I would say it's wearable for a man from around 30 and up, somewhat sporty, casual, in a life stage.
And folks, you won't believe it, but this morning it actually came to me.
It is well known that scents from youth/childhood can be stored in the brain, especially if you had special experiences or simply spent your youth with them. This is scientifically proven.
And now I will tell you which two scents are in K by Dolce Gabbana:
Ettore Bugatti Homme eau de toilette and
Adidas Classic eau de toilette (with the blue cap and beige liquid)
Absolutely identical, I would say the spiciness is more from the Adidas, the freshness and very slight sweetness from Bugatti.
Unfortunately, both have been discontinued for a long time. I loved them back in the day.
But now you have some sort of indirect replacement, classy.
So, I could add my secret favorite to my collection.
And what I find nice is that you can wear the scent anytime, summer and winter.
For sports or going out to eat.
And I must say the longevity on clothing is easily 12 hours. And on skin, 8 hours. I find the longevity sufficient.
So, I have now written the second review and hope it’s okay for you. I just write what I think. There are certainly others here who can "compose" better.
Best wishes until soon. Stay healthy.
