Pink pepper sharpens the fruity opening, frankincense and amber bring smoke and resin to the heart, and the base lays oud, leather, oakwood, sandalwood and patchouli together. Reviewers keep coming back to the oud, which they describe as barnyard-tinged rather than polished. That makes King Blue divisive: some love the funk under the fruit, others find it too much.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eScent Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv data-venba-scent-character\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOud\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoody\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweet\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpicy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFresh\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTranslation:\u003c\/em\u003e oud is the backbone, with woods and a resinous sweetness close behind.
