Police TO BE The Queen is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. TO BE The Queen opens with Red Fruits, Orange, Mandarin, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Violet, Peach, and Pineapple, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Police's TO BE The Queen carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a divisive brew; a love-it-or-hate-it patchouli bomb masquerading as a fruity floral. If you're after a loud, sweet, and synthetic ride, this might just be your bargain queen. Prepare for opinions, strong ones.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Date

Its strong projection and longevity, coupled with a distinctly fruity-sweet and potent patchouli character, make it less suited for professional environments. However, its bold and playful nature can work well for casual outings or dates where you want to stand out, though some find it too artificial for a formal setting.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

TO BE The Queen opens with a sweet, almost syrupy splash of red berries and bright orange, quickly followed by a dominant, artificial pineapple note. The heart introduces a soft violet and juicy peach, but it's the base where the drama truly unfolds: a heavy, almost masculine patchouli and cedar take over, softened by vanilla and musk, leaving a somewhat powdery, woods-meets-fruit trail that many find challenging.
