By the editors · 2 min readThe King Princess announces itself with black pepper over bergamot — assertive but not aggressive, the spice serving as an invitation to pay attention. The opening has good forward momentum, the kind that signals the fragrance means to be worn, not merely dabbed.
Magnolia, freesia, and rose form a full floral heart that softens the pepper without erasing it. The magnolia in particular contributes a lemony, slightly waxy quality that keeps the composition from landing squarely in the familiar oriental-floral category. There's a specific tonal crispness here.
Sandalwood and amber in the base add warmth and depth, with musk pulling the whole thing skin-close for the final hours. Named for a Russian fairy-tale heroine — the warrior princess — this wears as something balanced between toughness and femininity: composed, not coy.
