Scent Profile

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

The balance of citrus and aromatic top notes makes it lively for spring and summer, but the spicy, woody, and fig heart/base give it warmth and depth that excel in fall and work in moderate winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its energetic yet refined blend suits dates and casual settings, while moderate projection makes it safe for formal events but a bit bold for most offices and not fresh enough for sports.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

K by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum opens with vibrant blood orange and zesty lemon, spiked with cardamom and a juniper kick. The heart reveals a smooth, creamy fig nectar wrapped in aromatic lavender and herbal sage, leading to a drydown rich in cedar, patchouli, and earthy vetiver. Warm, spicy, and woody facets blend with subtle fruitiness, creating a scent that is fresh yet substantial, modern yet grounded, radiating Mediterranean style and confidence.
