Alexander McQueen McQueen is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. McQueen opens with Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Clove, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Vetiver. Alexander McQueen's McQueen carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This McQueen tuberose bomb is sophisticated and intriguing, even if its strong resemblance to Madonna's Truth or Dare polarises opinion. It's a modern floral with a vintage soul, offering elegance that's not for the faint of heart, or for those expecting an avant-garde scent.

About

McQueen opens with a punch of pink pepper and clove, quickly giving way to a creamy, opulent heart of indolic tuberose and jasmine, supported by the lush sweetness of ylang-ylang. The white florals dominate, rich and buttery, with a subtle spicy current. A whisper of earthy vetiver grounds the composition, preventing it from becoming overly sweet and adding a touch of woody depth to the soft, lingering floral embrace.
