Which Should You Buy?
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
With its strong, unique aroma and intense sillage, Kingdom is best reserved for intimate dates or confident evening wear. It's far too bold for a typical office environment and its depth isn't suited for casual daytime activities or sport.
Seasons
The spicy floral heart and warm base bloom in autumn and winter, with the citrus lending spring lift.
Occasions
Bold and sensual, it leans to evenings, dates and formal occasions over sport or daytime.
