Run.42, it seems they’ve stolen the recipe for several of the brand’s best-sellers 🔥. The Spirit of King bottles are brilliant; of the two I own, they last forever and project massively. To me, this smells niche and is far superior to the Initio version, which I found revolting as a Lattafa clone. This is much more earthy and smoky, with superior quality where every note shines perfectly 🔥🔝
Does anyone know if Spirit of King is still producing it under the same name?
The quality and performance of this make me still believe in exclusive perfumery. Wearing two sprays makes you feel like the king of the nation.
What a masterpiece. I don’t understand why people barely talk about this. It smells of quality and nature; it’s unique, lasts several days on clothes, and accompanies you without fail. I’ve heard of many perfumes like this, but none have achieved what this one has. After researching and seeing that each bottle is handmade with inaccessible ingredients, you realise the price is subjective; if you want something like this, you pay for it and that’s that.
At first it smells like the Initio one, but within seconds you realise it’s deeper, longer-lasting, and of much better quality. If you like the Initio one, this gives it a hundred times.
If you like Oud for Greatness, this is that style; you buy it blind because it’s elevated. You notice the potent saffron and nutmeg at the start. Within minutes, leather appears and it becomes more woody, maintaining mystery with the oud. The ingredients are of very high quality.
