This is way better than people credit it for. Sadly though, it's like a slightly less magical Dead of Night (with no real oud unlike the strangelove), and as I own the latter, I don't need this. But if you want DON but would prefer to spend 500 euros instead of 1000 (LOL!) this could be the one. As another reviewer said, don't judge it by shoving your nose into it, as it doesn't do it justice.
이것은 절대적으로 냄새가 나지만 좋은 의미에서. 성능은 미쳤고 다음날에도 옷에서 냄새가납니다. 개봉 후 환희에 가까운 냄새가납니다. 침착하면 나무와 과일 냄새가 나고 호박색이 당신을 때리기 때문입니다. 8.3/10
킹 블루는 대중 시장에서 가장 악취가 심하고 동물적인 소리 중 하나로 묘사되어 왔지만 저는 동의하지 않습니다. 확실히 톡 쏘는 잔인함이 있는데, 이는 매우 주류가 되고 있는 하우스치고는 이례적으로 대담한 것이어서 훌륭하다고 생각해요. 모두 같은 냄새를 풍기는 지루한 장미 향이 가득한 시장에서 신선하게 느껴집니다. 여기서는 그냥 아코디언이라고 생각되는 우드 향이 놀라운 향을 풍깁니다. 건조하고 흙냄새가 나는 스모키한 향에 가죽과 파출리 향이 더해져 어둠이 지속됩니다. 유향은 블랙커런트와 만다린의 미묘한 과즙으로 아름답게 단련된 건조하고 스모키하며 거의 스크래치 같은 품질을 제공합니다. 향이 좋다고 생각하긴 하지만 절대적으로 좋아하는 향은 아니어서 한 병을 사서 마실 가능성은 낮습니다. 향은 좋지만 제 취향이 아닌 것 같고 제 평소 스타일과도 맞지 않아요. 하지만 프루티 계열의 우디 향수의 세계에서는 눈에 띄는 제품입니다.
I loved Silver Oud but I fell in love with King Blue more because it’s more wearable and easy reach, it doesn’t need a certain kind of mood. It needs certain kind of clothes though or no clothes at all. Assam Oud in King Blue is not as brash as it is in its predecessor Silver Oud and the leather which is quite strong in it is utterly tame in King Blue. I adore this scent. It’s so addictive with its fruity notes especially from Blackcurrant but Mandarin as well - those are so perfect with slightly dirty Oud and warm resinous Amber. Fruits bring sweet aromas which play hide and seek from the opening until the dry down. It’s like Blackcurrant jam covered with hefty Oud, not vice versa. Sweetness from fruits together with sweetness from resinous Amber works great. I love fruits and Oud together so much but here the combination is astonishingly beautiful because of other notes and a complex blend. Just right around of smokiness from Frankincense is not T*bacco like but smooth and hazy adding vibrance into this blend which is actually astonishingly calming like the deep blue sea. That is the only connection which I find here to the colour blue in the name. At the latest, somewhat cozy, creamy texture of Sandalwood blended with all these notes makes this one of my favourite perfumes to wear in the bedtime. These kind of scents are erotic as well imo (I know, sounds maybe strange). The most erotic scents from Amouage are "Gold Man | Amouage" and this one. I can’t get enough of King Blue. I want to enjoy of it as much as I can now when it’s warm since it performs so beautifully now on my skin. During wintertime my skin is too cold for this scent. This needs warm to shine and it doesn't feel too heavy in Finnish summer since it's not so hot, mostly 20-25c. Is this easy Oud? Yes if you love real Oud, this is gentle. If you don’t - you can forget King Blue. But I highly recommend to give it a chance. It’s ravishing. Yes, a little bit dirty Oud can be ravishing.
