1. K by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Toilette
Review
K Eau de Toilette by Dolce & Gabbana is a vibrantly zesty and earthy ensemble, perfect for when you want something fresh but with a bit of depth.
The opening is a wake-up call of spicy chilli pepper and citrus, bold and lively, setting a vibrant tone. The French lavender in the heart notes adds a bright, floral contrast as it settles.
The journey ends on a grounded note with Haitian vetiver, earthy and robust, providing a lingering confidence.

Its longevity of 6+ hours ensures that you carry an aura of distinction throughout the day.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | Vibrant chilli pepper top notes makes a strong, energetic first impression |
| Cons | Overpowering for those preferring subtler, less intense scents. |
2. K by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum
Review
Going a notch deeper, K Eau de Parfum is more woody and fruity, making it a more pronounced signature scent, in my opinion.
This rendition opens with the zest of Sicilian lemon, clean and refreshing, then deepens with the mouthwatering sweetness of fig in the heart.
I found the close quite assertive after 20 minutes, with Virginian cedarwood anchoring the fragrance with a woody, enduring base.
Top Notes:
Sicilian Lemon
Mid Notes:
Fig
Base Notes:
Virginian Cedarwood
Seasons & Longevity
I’m placing this one in the any-season category. K Eau de Parfum shines during outdoor events, and it projects well, too.
Lasting 7+ hours, I found it offers admirable staying power, making sure you leave a memorable impression wherever you roam.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | The fig provides a sweet, intriguing aroma that sets it apart from typical citrus-based scents. |
| Cons | The sweetness of fig may not be for those who favour more traditional colognes. |
3. K by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum Intense
Review
For those who want to command the room, K Eau de Parfum Intense is the ultimate choice, offering an evocative depth that’s hard to ignore.
It starts boldly with fig, a sweet yet sophisticated top note. As the narrative unfolds, saffron adds an exotic spicy warmth to the heart, drawing in those around with its captivating spice.
The finale is all about the richness of leather, a base note that exudes masculine class and enduring appeal.
Top Notes:
Fig
Mid Notes:
Saffron
Base Notes:
Leather

This intense version is suited for the colder months of autumn and winter. Think of evening events, fancy bars, or romantic nights out.
Lasting 7+ hours, I cannot complain about its longevity, cloaking you in mystery and allure well into the night.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | Intense leather base notes offer a lasting, masculine fragrance. |
| Cons | The strong leather aroma could be too intense for the office. |
