The "Deep Dive"

The Dry-Down

King Bharara opens with a bright, juicy burst of citrus from orange, bergamot, and lemon, creating a lively and charismatic opening. As it transitions, the heart reveals a fruity medley that brings an exotic, sweet richness. In the dry-down, the fragrance settles into a warm, smooth embrace of vanilla, white musk, and amber. This base gives a creamy, slightly musky undertone that maintains the energy from the top notes without being overbearing. It concludes as a warm, sweet but mature composition effectively balancing boldness with sophistication.
