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 fresh-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.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.
