The story behind the bottle.
K by Dolce Gabbana Elixir, launched in 2026 and crafted by perfumer Daphné Bugey, is a warm and enveloping Oriental Woody fragrance. The composition opens with earthy notes and amberwood, creating an immediate sense of grounding. This foundation gives way to incense and spices like cinnamon, adding a rich warmth and complexity. Labdanum and black amber deepen the scent further, while patchouli and guaiac wood bring an earthy, balsamic finish that lingers on the skin.
Apply two sprays to the pulse points for a balanced experience. The spicy and woody notes develop over time, so give it at least an hour before reapplying if you need more impact.
