This isn't for the faint of heart. Kingdom is a divisive, carnal masterpiece that many adore and some utterly detest. It's a bold, animalistic statement that screams confidence, not sweetness. Don't blind buy unless you're ready for unexpected spice and raw sensuality.

A budget reading of Alexander McQueen's cult provocateur Kingdom - the same bright, tart citrus opening tumbling into a warm, spicy floral. Empire captures the zesty-to-spicy arc but tames the original's infamous, divisive cumin-skin facet, reading cleaner and a touch flatter than the bold, sensual classic.
