The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025, K by Dolce Gabbana Parfum is the creation of perfumer Daphné Bugey and embodies a blend of sweet, woody, and fruity notes that evoke a sense of Italian luxury. The fragrance opens with caramel and fig, followed by licorice and sandalwood, culminating in a powdery and balsamic base. This composition is designed to offer a warm embrace of comfort and sophistication.
Apply two sprays to the pulse points — it’s the warmth of your skin that brings out the powdery and balsamic base. The caramel and fig notes are fleeting, so layering with a light cologne or lotion can enhance its longevity.
