King of Cool

Steve McQueen

Steve McQueen 2010

for this fragrance!
I am pleasantly surprised! Although I don't know DG The One, because I was disillusioned after several attempts with DG fragrances, King of Cool is ...cool!
My knowledge of men's fragrances is not outstanding, yet I find it refreshingly different. It doesn't chase any current trends; in the Dougi Top Ten, there is no other fragrance like it, and that is already a plus for me. The longevity is also above average, the sillage better than some other fragrances, and less overwhelming than, for example, One Million...
Now to the scent:
The top note is incredibly delicious-spicy and has that certain fresh sharpness, or is it sharp freshness, that I like in men's fragrances.
The heart note does lean towards woody, but it also retains the spicy fresh character with a little apple kick.
I like it!
The base is old school, unfortunately reminding me a bit of Photo by Lagerfeld, which deducts some points, so!
But the base can also be attributed an oriental note, and thus it stays in the race.
If I didn't know better, I would say the fragrance has revived the 80s, and Steve McQueen ....yes, he will never die!
I won't even start on Chuck Norris...
