King Solomon

★★★★★★★★★★
3.79175 votes · 7 reviewsUNISEX

King Solomon is a warm spicy, woody scent built around cinnamon and cardamom, with camphor, cedar, vetiver, oakmoss and musk giving it a dry, aromatic edge. Vanilla softens the opening as it settles, but this still reads more bold than cosy. It suits shoppers who enjoy assertive Middle Eastern style spice fragrances with noticeable trail. Sample first if you are sensitive to.

Open Performance Breakdown 1 TAKE

Performance appears strong overall. Community voting suggests moderate to strong projection with better-than-average staying power, and reviews describe plenty of sillage and good endurance. It usually sounds more like a fragrance that announces itself than one that stays close, so lighter spraying may work better in tight indoor settings.

King Solomon opens with a hot, aromatic burst of cinnamon and cardamom, coloured by a camphor note that can feel cooling, medicinal or resinous depending on skin. As it settles, vanilla softens the spice while cedar, vetiver, oakmoss and musk build a dry, earthy, woody base with a slightly powdery finish.

The accords feel layered rather than blended into one smooth cloud. Warm spice leads, woody and earthy facets keep it grounded, and the camphor note adds a cooling sharpness that gives the scent its most distinctive edge. Vanilla sits underneath as a softener, while moss and musk help the drydown feel darker, drier and slightly old-school.

Fragranxe Review

EDITORIAL
“Attar Collection King Solomon Review”

King Solomon is one of those fragrances that tells you what it is quite quickly. From the note list and the review pattern, this is a warm spicy, woody composition with a clear cinnamon and cardamom push, supported by cedar, vetiver, musk, oakmoss and a noticeable camphor facet. It does not read soft, transparent or easygoing. The character is fuller, drier and more aromatic, with a style that several wearers would place in the broader Arabic perfumery mood.

The opening seems to be the dividing line. One reviewer praised the spicy start and said vanilla helps tame it before the scent moves into a muskier heart and a strong drydown. Another found the top medicinal and eventually sour on skin. That split makes sense for a fragrance built around hot spice and camphor. On the right skin, that contrast can feel commanding and textured. On the wrong skin, it may come across sharper, cooler and less natural than expected.

Once King Solomon settles, the structure appears more balanced. Vanilla is present, but not in a rich gourmand way. It seems to work more as a smoothing element, taking some of the edge off the spice without changing the fragrance into something creamy or sugary. Cedar and vetiver keep the base dry, while musk and oakmoss add body and a slightly dusty, earthy finish. One review also mentioned a touch of soapiness in the drydown, which fits the aromatic, mossy profile.

In wear, this looks like a fragrance with presence. The community voting suggests projection often lands between moderate and strong, and longevity usually comes across as solid to very good. It is unlikely to be the sort of scent that disappears quietly after a couple of hours. Because of that, it feels better suited to cooler weather, evening use, or situations where a more assertive scent profile makes sense. Winter is the clearest fit from the seasonal voting.

As a style, King Solomon seems more appealing to shoppers who enjoy bold spice over polished sweetness. Even though it is sold as unisex, both the voting and the supplied review text suggest it may lean masculine in perception. That does not mean women cannot wear it. It means the scent profile itself is dry, woody and forceful rather than soft, floral or plush.

The main reason to sample before buying is not quality control in a general sense, but style tolerance. If you love cinnamon, cardamom, cedar and musky woods, and you do not mind a medicinal camphor thread in the top, King Solomon could be an interesting pick. If you want your spices smoother, sweeter or more rounded from the first spray, this may feel too sharp. It is a fragrance for people who want personality and texture, not universal crowd-pleasing comfort.

FAQs

What does King Solomon by Attar Collection smell like?+

It smells warm spicy, woody and aromatic, with cinnamon and cardamom up front, a camphor-like lift, then a drier base of cedar, vetiver, oakmoss, musk and some vanilla smoothing the edges.

Is King Solomon sweet?+

Only mildly. Vanilla is part of the structure, but the overall impression leans more spicy, woody and aromatic than dessert-like.

Does King Solomon smell medicinal?+

It can. One review described a medicated alcohol effect, and the camphor accord suggests some wearers may notice a medicinal or cooling edge, especially early on.

Is King Solomon masculine or truly unisex?+

It is marketed as unisex, but the voting and review text lean more masculine in character. Many wearers will find it easier to picture on someone who enjoys dry, spicy, woody scents.

How strong is King Solomon?+

Community voting points to moderate to strong projection, with a meaningful number of votes for very strong sillage. It is not usually described as a soft skin scent.

How long does King Solomon last?+

Longevity appears above average overall. Votes span moderate to very long lasting, with the centre of opinion sitting around solid day wear rather than a quick fade.

Is King Solomon good for winter?+

Yes. Its warm spicy, woody and mossy profile makes the most sense in cooler weather, though some spring wearers may still enjoy it if they like bold spice.

Is King Solomon good for summer?+

It may feel heavy or sharp in high heat. The spice, camphor and woody density suggest it is better suited to cooler days or evening wear.

Who should sample King Solomon first?+

Anyone curious about spicy Arabic-style fragrances, especially if they enjoy cinnamon, cardamom, cedar and musky drydowns. It is also worth sampling before buying if you are unsure about camphor or medicinal nuances.

Is King Solomon office friendly?+

It depends on application. The scent can project strongly, so lighter sprays are safer for close settings. It feels more natural in evening, social or cooler-weather wear.

No dupes submitted yet. The first useful DupeScore can come from your community.

There is not enough evidence here to call anything a direct dupe. One user compared parts of the opening and middle to Ajmal Shadow Grey, so that is a reasonable reference point if you already know that scent. Beyond that, it makes more sense to treat King Solomon as a bold spicy Arabic-style option rather than force a precise one-to-one comparison.
