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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

King's Road opens with a spicy kick of pepper and saffron, softened by a fleeting hint of raspberry, before quickly settling into a deep, earthy rose heart. Powdery iris notes add a vintage feel, while a robust blend of oud, amber, and moss in the base creates a rich, woody, and slightly dark dry-down that lingers for ages. It’s an intense, opulent journey from start to finish.
