A Bit Overhyped
Kings & Queens was introduced to us as something very special, but only the body care products stood on the shelf like they were set in concrete and have since left us at significantly reduced prices. We weren't really sad about it. The line was neither fish nor fowl. Too niche for drugstore customers, too unknown for Biotherm/Lancome/Börlind customers, and too colorful and loud for luxury customers.
I was not familiar with the scent Ophir Gold, so I was particularly curious when I received the sample. The perfume turned out to be a well-behaved oriental; neither the supposedly fruity opening nor the green notes in the development can be truly perceived, and even the jasmine hides behind the base. The base itself defines the personality of Ophir Gold, but with vanilla, amber, and woody notes, it is also not particularly spectacular. However, it does show respectable longevity. The scent also reminds me of cozy hours at home, especially given the current weather conditions.
It's pleasant, but to be honest, it was quite good that the fragrances didn't belong to our assortment, because without any advertising bells and whistles, they wouldn't have had an easy time. Orchid Gold neither truly appeals with its scent nor does the line impress with a presentation that does justice to the royal background it has as a theme. Now I'm curious whether the other perfumes from K&Q suffer from the same flaw.
