King David
Fragrance notes
Character
King David opens with a bright, herbal mix of tarragon and fig leaf that feels green rather than sweet. Lemon and mandarin orange add a clean citrus lift, while cardamom provides a gentle spice and lavender rounds out the top with a soft, dry floral touch. The opening is fresh and aromatic, leaning into the anis accord without becoming sharp or medicinal.
The heart introduces salt and a honeysuckle sweetness that sits lightly against the spice of nutmeg. The salt note gives the fragrance a marine quality that works well in warm air and open spaces. It feels appropriate for a bright morning or a walk outside when the light is clear and the temperature is mild. The composition stays aromatic and fresh through this stage, never turning heavy or cloying.
Cedar and sandalwood form a woody base that supports the tobacco and amber, while musk keeps the drydown smooth and close. The tobacco adds a mild earthiness that balances the earlier citrus and salt. The overall impression is green, salty, and woody with a soft spicy thread running through it. The amber and musky accords linger at the end, leaving a warm, clean finish that stays true to the opening herbs.
