Fig and caramel open Dolce & Gabbana K by Dolce & Gabbana Parfum Dolce&Gabbana, followed by licorice in the heart and a base of sandalwood and woody notes. It sits in the oriental vanilla family, with warm woods and sweetness leading its accords.
The opening is sweet and fruity: fig with a burnt-sugar edge from the caramel, and that is the strongest impression in the first half hour or so. From there the licorice comes through in the heart, a bittersweet, slightly dark touch that sits against the sweetness. The base is where it spends most of its life: sandalwood and woody notes give it a dry, warm finish with a soft powdery edge, staying close to the skin through the afternoon and into the evening.
This parfum is frequently compared to K by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum Intense by Dolce&Gabbana. It comes from the same K line, so the family resemblance is the way in. The two are similar rather than the same fragrance, so if you already know the Intense, this is worth trying next to it. If you'd rather stay with something FG carries, Hawas for Him by Rasasi is in stock, and so is Hawas Ice by Rasasi.
FG Perfumes sells it online with delivery across South Africa, and in its three stores. If you like the warm, sweet side of the shelf, browse other Oriental Perfumes.
This parfum is a 2025 release in the Dolce&Gabbana K line, composed by Daphné Bugey. Of 188 wearers voting on sillage on Fragrantica, two thirds call it moderate, so it stays close to the wearer rather than filling a room. It suits anyone who likes a sweet, woody scent with fig and caramel at the front, and wants one that goes from the office to an evening out in the cooler months.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
