K by Dolce & Gabbana

K by Dolce & Gabbana, created in 2019 by Nathalie Lorson and Daphné Bugey, is a fresh citrus-woody scent with an aromatic heart. Woods and citrus lead equally, and a minority of people mention spice, greenery, flowers and herbs.

The opening is bright and juicy, with blood orange, Sicilian lemon and other citrus giving a sunny zest, and juniper berries a crisp, gin-like freshness. The heart turns aromatic with pimento, lavender, clary sage and geranium, a gently spiced and herbal combination that feels clean and masculine. The base is cedar, patchouli and vetiver, a dry, earthy and slightly smoky woody finish.

Most wearers report moderate longevity, with a fair number finding it long lasting, and a moderate trail. It is voted for summer and spring and mostly for daytime. That suits office days, weekends and warm-weather plans, for men who want a versatile, fresh scent with a woody backbone.
