Description

Konig by Yosh is an aromatic woody fragrance for men and women. Launched in 2013, this composition was created by perfumer Yosh Han. The olfactory pyramid unfolds with top notes of cypress and sage; a heart evoking red apple, woods, Egyptian papyrus, and winter bell (galanthus); and a warm, persistent base of woods, vetiver, leather, white musk, and amber.

First off, the 2013 Eau de Parfum is discontinued; this is the new 2020 Eau de Fraiche. It opens with alcohol, fruit, and ripe apple (which was a heart note in the old version, now it’s top) mixed with woods—a weird combo at first. Then papyrus kicks in, adding a dry touch that, combined with the initial green notes, creates something interesting. Even though leather isn’t listed in the notes, it’s there: a dirty jacket-style leather, similar to La Yuqawam. Up to this point, it’s decent and could have gone somewhere great, but it’s like starting a race from the finish line, speeding off, and then running out of gas before you can shift into the last gear. It lacks power, projects nothing, and that green-leather interplay fades into the skin almost immediately. It stays alive on the skin for another hour before starting to fall apart, leaving behind a dark vetiver that lingers alone for a bit longer. It’s a shame because there was something building up, but the balloon burst before it could tie the knot. Scent: 6.3/10 Longevity: 3.7/10 Projection: 2/10 Emotional Impact: Not Original: 5/10 Price: $95 (50ml) Recommended: Low
