The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 by Dolce & Gabbana and crafted by perfumer Daphné Bugey, K Eau de Parfum Intense is a composition that seamlessly blends the sharp brightness of citrus with the rich warmth of leather and woody notes. The fragrance opens with blood orange and Sicilian lemon, creating an invigorating freshness that gives way to fig and saffron, adding layers of complexity. This contrasts beautifully with the smoky, leathery base, which brings a sense of depth and sophistication.
For best results, apply this fragrance in moderate amounts — the blood orange and lemon notes are bright but fleeting. The leathery base develops over time, so giving it at least an hour before stepping out allows for full development of its rich depth.
