I've recently been wearing Gucci Eau de Parfum, now discontinued and going cheap. It too has a cumin note and appeared just one year before Kingdom, from the same Gucci Group stable. While Gucci EdP is more vanillic and oriental, I do feel it has an affinity to Kingdom. Have you tried it? You may like it.The Scentimentalistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451296477223734429.post-31351477123799964402010-03-06T06:14:28.327-08:002010-03-06T06:14:28.327-08:00Great tribute.

Cumin I am fine with, and I adore Kingdom's dirty rosey vanilla drydown. MyQueen is another one that always garners compliments and I have been somewhat amiss in not wearing it in the recent cold snowy weather as that is when it shines for me.Hebenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451296477223734429.post-60650067866481401332010-02-22T11:55:14.758-08:002010-02-22T11:55:14.758-08:00Great tribute!

It's very safe, very polite, very 'conventionally feminine'. It smells of violet, almonds, vanilla, cedar. One almost gets the impression that McQueen was strongarmed into bringing out something tamer (and potentially more commercially successful) after the 'stink' surrounding Kingdom.The Scentimentalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726819132736339666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451296477223734429.post-66592424117141447022010-02-21T08:43:49.606-08:002010-02-21T08:43:49.606-08:00'Amazing' is one way of describing it, I g...'Amazing' is one way of describing it, I guess.
