The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1978 by Kenzo, King Kong is a bold Oriental Spicy fragrance that stands as a proof of the brand's innovative spirit. The composition opens with a fresh green and fruity accord, which quickly gives way to warm amber and spicy notes, creating an intriguing contrast between freshness and richness. The earthy and mossy undertones add depth, while the woody base ensures longevity and a strong presence.
King Kong's strong sillage means one or two sprays are sufficient to make a statement. The fragrance develops fully over time, so it’s best applied before an event rather than right as you leave the house.
