Alexander McQueen Kingdom is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Kingdom opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rhubarb, Celery Seeds, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Oakmoss. Alexander McQueen's Kingdom carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

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.

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.
