Kingdom of Dreams
by Laurent Mazzone Parfums
Kingdom of Dreams is a dark, incense-laden fragrance that evokes the atmosphere of a medieval church—meditative, smoky, and deeply spiritual. It opens with a vibrant burst of black pepper, incense, and nutmeg, creating an instantly recognizable, richly textured aroma reminiscent of real incense from an orthodox place of worship. The temperature rises through a mix of woody, balsamic amber, and smoky patchouli, with subtle hints of leather, rubber, and a bitter-sweet musk. It evolves into a warm, mysterious base with an elegant progression that holds attention through the evening. Despite some users noting a slightly sour or soapy drydown, the overall perception is of a powerful, deeply personal scent that lingers quietly through the night. The projection is moderate to strong, making it suitable for cooler weather and intimate or evening settings.
