Police To Be The King Eau de Toilette 40ml is a confident, oriental-spicy fragrance for men, launched in 2013 and signed by perfumer Pierre-Constantin Guéros. A bright, slightly herbaceous opening of nutmeg, cardamom, cedar, lemon and bay leaf leads into an aromatic heart of lavender, cashmere wood, amber and artemisia, before settling into a warm, polished base of tonka bean, orange blossom, woody notes and soft resins.

Who it's for
To Be The King suits men looking for a confident, evening-leaning daily signature with a smooth, slightly indulgent drydown. The composition is at its best in autumn and winter, ideal for date-night, dinner and casual evening contexts, and pairs naturally with smart-casual or leather-jacket dressing. Anyone drawn to fragrances such as Joop! Homme or Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l'Homme will recognise the territory. The 40ml format is a sensible first bottle or travel companion.
How to wear it
Spray onto pulse points — the inner wrists, sides of the neck and chest — from around 15 cm away. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the longest wear. Two to three sprays balance well; the tonka-and-resin drydown develops over the first hour and rewards a moderate hand.
