TO BE The King

by Pierre-Constantin Guéros

Police TO BE The King is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Pierre-Constantin Guéros. TO BE The King opens with Bay Leaf, Nutmeg, Cardamom, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Lavender, Cashmere Wood, Amber, and Artemisia, and dries down to a base of Orange Blossom, Woody, Resin, and Tonka Bean. Police's TO BE The King carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a divisive number: some hail its unique, spicy sweetness as a hidden gem, others recoil from its synthetic edge. It's affordable, quirky and certainly not for everyone, but if it hits right, it's a stellar bargain.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate projection and generally pleasant, albeit sometimes polarising, aroma make it fit for casual wear and dates. The spicy sweetness and occasional synthetic undertones are less suited for formal settings or sports, and its varied longevity makes it a risky office choice.

About

TO BE The King opens with a bold, fresh-spicy hit of bay leaf, nutmeg, and cardamom, brightened by a twist of lemon. This lively introduction soon mellows into a woody heart where lavender and cashmere wood intertwine with rich amber. The dry-down reveals a warm, resinous base, with creamy tonka bean and a surprising hint of orange blossom lending a touch of unexpected sweetness and depth, making for a complex, evolving scent journey.
