Perfumes Zag Zodiak 261 Dolce & Gabbana K is an Eau de Parfum. 261 Dolce & Gabbana K opens with Citrus, Lemon, Blood Orange, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, Allspice, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Perfumes Zag Zodiak's 261 Dolce & Gabbana K carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Keeps K's juniper-lemon-clary sage-vetiver spine but drops the original's tobacco base note in favour of a cleaner cedar-patchouli finish.

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.

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

261 DG opens on the same juniper berries and Sicilian lemon combination that gives K by Dolce & Gabbana its confident, citrus-forward signature, and the clary sage and geranium heart tracks the original closely too. The main gap sits in the base: the real K finishes with a tobacco leaf note that gives it a smoky, mature depth beneath the vetiver and cedar, while this dupe leaves tobacco out entirely in favour of a cleaner vetiver-cedar-patchouli combination. Added blood orange and pimento round out the top and heart with extra warmth and juiciness. The result is a fresher, more citrus-woody rendition of K, charismatic and modern in the same way as the original, just without the smoky tobacco depth that gives the real fragrance its more grown-up edge.
