Dolce & Gabbana K by Dolce & Gabbana Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Daphné Bugey. K by Dolce & Gabbana Intense opens with Lemon and Blood Orange, settles into a heart of Saffron and Fig, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Leather. Dolce & Gabbana's K by Dolce & Gabbana Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

K by Dolce & Gabbana Intense is a polarising but much-needed flanker for the brand. Its unique blend of juicy fruit, robust leather, and warm spice sets it apart, defying easy categorisation. You'll either love its unconventional charm or find it a bit odd - but it's certainly not boring.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

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

A vibrant splash of blood orange and lemon kicks things off, quickly giving way to the rich, honeyed sweetness of fig. This fruity heart is deepened by the intriguing spice of saffron, before settling into a masculine base of worn leather and earthy woods. It's a journey from zesty freshness to warm, comforting depth, with a distinctive chewy texture throughout.
