Konig

Konig by Yosh opens with a crisp, smoky-green apple note intertwined with cypress and sage, creating an initial impression that is herbal and slightly acrid. The heart reveals a dry, aromatic vetiver backbone laced with papyrus, leather, and subtle amber, grounding the fragrance in a woody, slightly dusty character that evokes burning autumn leaves or a medieval forest. The drydown is earthy and lingering, centered around vetiver and a soft leathery musk, with a quiet intensity that lingers on skin but lacks strong projection. It shares similarities with Sombre Negra and Absinth, particularly in its green, leathered vetiver essence, though it is considered less memorable and less impactful than those iconic scents. Wearers describe it as complex, dark, and unusually cohesive for a niche offering, yet some find the apple note overly prominent or distracting, and numerous users note weak sillage and declining performance over time.
