Launched in 2023 by Chris Collins, Kingmaker is a fragrance that marries the boldness of spices with the depth of woody accords. Perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani has crafted a composition where pimento and cardamom create an initial warmth, while bergamot adds a fresh edge. As it settles, oud and patchouli dominate, grounding the scent in earthy richness. This is not just a fragrance; it's a statement of confidence and sophistication.

Application Tips
Apply Kingmaker to pulse points for a lasting effect. The warm spicy notes are most prominent in the first hour, so allow it time to settle into your skin before layering. This fragrance works best during cooler evenings when its woody and balsamic base can fully unfold.
