Kingdom

by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud

Alexander McQueen Kingdom is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. The fragrance opens with Orange, Mandarin, Mint, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Rose, Celery Seeds, Jasmine, and Rhubarb, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Musk, and Amber.

Our verdict on Kingdom: Acquired

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.

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.

About

Kingdom opens with an unusual, almost jarring blast of zingy citrus notes- neroli, lemon, and orange- undercut by the unexpected green freshness of mint and rhubarb. This quickly gives way to a complex heart where herbaceous celery seeds, warm ginger, and spicy carnation mingle with a subtle rose and jasmine. The base is an earthy, musky warmth, dominated by oakmoss and amber, creating a deep, resonant finish that lingers for ages.
