How long does KING OF BLUES - EXTRAIT DE PARFUM last on skin?

With 45% fragrance oil concentration (Extrait de Parfum), KING OF BLUES - EXTRAIT DE PARFUM typically lasts 12 to 16 hours on skin and even longer on fabric. Performance may vary slightly based on skin type and weather conditions. In Indian summer heat, expect 10 to 14 hours of detectable scent.

What is the concentration of KING OF BLUES - EXTRAIT DE PARFUM?

KING OF BLUES - EXTRAIT DE PARFUM is an Extrait de Parfum with 45% fragrance oil concentration. This is approximately 3 times stronger than standard Eau de Parfum (15 to 20%) and 5 times stronger than Eau de Toilette (5 to 15%). This makes it one of the highest concentration perfumes available in India.

Is KING OF BLUES - EXTRAIT DE PARFUM suitable for Indian weather?

Yes. KING OF BLUES - EXTRAIT DE PARFUM is formulated with European-grade oils from Italy, France, and Switzerland, specifically chosen for their stability in high heat and humidity. The 45% oil concentration ensures the fragrance survives Indian summers, monsoons, and tropical coastal conditions far better than standard EDT or EDP perfumes.

How many sprays should I use?

Due to the 45% concentration, only 2 to 3 sprays are needed for all-day performance. We recommend one spray on each side of the neck and optionally one on a wrist. Each 50ml bottle provides 900 or more sprays, lasting several months with daily use.

Is KING OF BLUES - EXTRAIT DE PARFUM paraben-free and cruelty-free?

Yes. All God of Essence fragrances are paraben-free, cruelty-free, and IFRA certified. We use European-grade fragrance oils sourced from Italy, France, and Switzerland, combined with traceable Indian sacred ingredients.

What is the return policy for KING OF BLUES - EXTRAIT DE PARFUM?

We offer a return window on all products. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, contact us within 7 days of delivery. We also offer free shipping on orders above Rs 999 and a free gift on orders above Rs 1,499.

Ingredients in focus

What's inside the bottle

Nine notes in three layers. Each layer shows up at a different time of day. Tap a card for the story behind it.

Top notes

First 15 minutes

BergamotBright citrus with a tea-like edge.

Did you knowMost of the world's bergamot grows on one strip of coast in Calabria, southern Italy. It is also the flavour in Earl Grey tea.

GingerA warm, zesty spark that wakes the opening up.

Did you knowIndia grows more ginger than any other country. Perfumers steam-distil the root to get its oil.

AppleCrisp and juicy. The part people notice first.

Did you knowYou can't press a perfume oil out of an apple. Perfumers build the note from aroma molecules, which is why it smells so clean.

Heart notes

15 minutes to 3 hours

SageHerbal and dry. This is the grown-up part.

Did you knowSage gives fresh perfumes their clean barbershop feel. It belongs to the fougère family, the classic style of men's fragrance since the 1880s.

GeraniumGreen and a little rosy. Adds polish without smelling floral.

Did you knowGeranium leaves smell surprisingly like rose. Perfumers use them to add a rosy lift without a sweet flower.

Juniper berryCool and piney, with a gin-like snap.

Did you knowJuniper is the berry that gives gin its taste. It is one of the few fruits that actually yields a perfume oil.

Base notes

3 hours onward

VetiverEarthy and a little smoky. It roots the whole scent.

Did you knowVetiver is khus. Indian homes have hung wet khus mats in their windows for generations to cool the summer air.

CedarwoodDry wood, like a freshly sharpened pencil.

Did you knowCedar is a "fixer". Its heavy molecules slow down the lighter notes, so the fresh top stays around longer.

Tonka beanSoft and warm, with a hint of almond and hay.

Did you knowTonka is rich in coumarin, the smell of fresh hay. Coumarin was one of the first aroma molecules ever made in a lab, back in 1868.

Scent profile

How it smells, by the numbers

Our perfumer's rating out of 10, and what "40–45% oil" means next to the labels you already know.

Eau de cologne2–3% oil

Eau de toilette5–15% oil

Eau de parfum15–20% oil

Typical extrait15–30% oil

King of Blues40–45% oil

A perfume is fragrance oil carried in alcohol. The alcohol flies off in minutes, and the oil is what stays. More oil means more scent left on your skin, so two or three sprays go a long way. Industry ranges are from the standard perfume concentration guide.

If you wear YSL Y or Dior Sauvage

YSL Y, Dior Sauvage and King of Blues, compared honestly

All three belong to the blue aromatic family: citrus on top, herbs in the middle, woods below. King of Blues is our own original take on that style, not a copy. Here is how they line up.

YSL and Dior notes are from their published note lists. Strength classes use standard industry ranges. YSL, Y and Dior Sauvage are trademarks of their owners. God of Essence is not connected to them.
Detail	King of Blues	YSL Y Eau de Parfum	Dior Sauvage EDT
Type	Extrait de parfum	Eau de parfum (2018)	Eau de toilette (2015)
Opening	Bergamot, ginger, apple	Apple, ginger, bergamot	Calabrian bergamot, pepper
Heart	Sage, geranium, juniper	Sage, juniper, geranium	Sichuan pepper, lavender, geranium, vetiver
Base	Vetiver, cedar, tonka	Amberwood, tonka, cedar, vetiver, olibanum	Ambroxan, cedar, labdanum

Pick YSL Y if…you want the YSL bottle and its amberwood finish, and you're happy to re-spray after lunch.

Pick Sauvage if…you like peppery, mineral and loud, and you wear it mostly in cool or AC spaces.

Pick King of Blues if…you love the fresh herbal style and want it at extrait strength, built for Indian heat, for a small part of the price.

Wear guide

How to wear King of Blues

It's strong, so less is more. Here's what works best in Indian weather.

Spray, don't rub

One spray on the neck, one on the wrist. Rubbing heats the skin and crushes the top notes.

Office: 2–3 sprays

That gives about arm's-length reach. Right for AC rooms and close meetings.

Evening: one on the collar

Fabric holds oil longer than skin, so the fresh part stays bright through dinner.

Store it cool and dark

Keep it out of the car and away from sunny windows. Heat and light wear down any perfume.

King of Blues long-lasting blue perfume for men in India, God of Essence extrait de parfum

Founder's note

Why we made King of Blues

I kept buying fresh blue perfumes that smelled great at the counter and were gone by lunch. In Mumbai heat, a light eau de parfum doesn't stand a chance. The oils were never the problem. The dilution was.

So we did the slow, costly thing. We kept good oils from Italy & France and put far more of them in the bottle. 40–45% of King of Blues is fragrance oil. The rest just carries it.

What you get is a fresh scent that lasts like a heavy one. You smell like a clean shirt at 9 a.m., and you still smell like it at dinner. If it doesn't suit you, write to us at hello@godofessence.com and tell us why. We read every message.

Questions

King of Blues FAQ

What does King of Blues smell like?

Fresh, clean and a little woody. It opens with bergamot, ginger and green apple. Sage, geranium and juniper berry form the heart. Vetiver, cedarwood and tonka bean make the base. Think of a crisp white shirt with a warm, woody finish.

How long does King of Blues last?

Most wearers get 8 to 9 hours on skin, even in Indian heat. Fabric holds it far longer, and some buyers find it on their shirt the next day. Your skin, the weather and the number of sprays all change the result.

Is King of Blues a copy of YSL Y or Dior Sauvage?

No. It is an original God of Essence perfume in the same blue aromatic family. It shares the fresh citrus and herb style of YSL Y Eau de Parfum. King of Blues is made at extrait strength, with a base built on vetiver and tonka, and costs a small part of the price.

What does 40–45% oil concentration mean?

It means 40–45% of what is in the bottle is fragrance oil. The rest is the alcohol that sprays it. An eau de parfum usually holds 15 to 20% oil, and an eau de toilette 5 to 15%. More oil leaves more scent on your skin once the alcohol dries.

How many sprays of King of Blues should I use?

Two or three. Use one on the neck and one on the wrist, plus one on the collar for evenings. It is strong, so start low. Don't rub your wrists together. Let it dry on its own.

Is King of Blues good for office wear?

Yes. With two sprays it reaches about an arm's length, which suits AC offices and meetings. The fresh top and herbal heart come across as clean, not loud.

Is King of Blues safe for skin?

It follows IFRA standards, the global safety rules for fragrance ingredients. It is paraben-free, phthalate-free, vegan and not tested on animals. If your skin is sensitive, patch test on your inner arm first, or spray it on your clothes. Read more in the IFRA Standards Library.

Can I try King of Blues before buying the full bottle?

Yes. Add it to the Discovery Set: 5 scents of your choice in 10 ml sprays for ₹1,299. Many buyers start there and come back for the 50 ml bottle. Build your Discovery Set.

How fast is delivery?

Orders ship within 24 hours. Delivery across India takes 2 to 4 days. Shipping is free on orders above ₹999.

It changed the way I feel towards the perfumes

I absolutely loved the king of blues simply because it felt really good and it was not like the other perfumes which felt synthetic it was projecting for a long period of time and smelled amazing.

Deep Blue awesomeness

Perfect summer scent, safe, projects and performs like a beast in our our insane heat, exactly as mentioned. Thoroughly satisfied. Would've loved a tiny sample of one or two of your other scents as I might order another one come winter. Thanks.

Very uplifting and premium trail . Makes you feel confident even after hours in the Sun . One of the best summer fragrances for Offices and Day Outs .

Bang for your buck

I have had the YSL EDP for many years, a truly exceptional scent profile and performance is insane.

Considering the king of blues is only a fraction of the price, it's absolutely worth buying and going heavy on the trigger. The performance of the KOB on clothes is similar to the claimed number but the sillage doesn't quite hit the mark. It turns into a close skin scent within the first 2 hours. One definitely does get strong whiffs from time to time.

Go ahead, buy it with confidence and spray your life away.

Potentially Good

I recently made a blind purchase of the 50ml King of Blues alongside the 10ml Icons discovery set (all five fragrances).
The Icons lineup is genuinely impressive. The quality is top-notch, the notes are clearly discernible, and it’s obvious the team put a lot of hard work into crafting them. I’m already confident one of them will become my new signature scent.
Unfortunately, King of Blues—which I bought based on great online reviews to use as a daily office scent—was a major disappointment. The quality just isn't there, and it smells like a low-end, mass-market fresh fragrance. I’m surprised and wondering if this is simply a bad batch issue.
This inconsistency makes me a bit hesitant about future purchases from God Of Essence. That said, I see incredible potential for the brand if they can maintain the high quality of the across all batches and collections.

Thank you, Ramsheed, for such a thorough and fair review. I'm glad the Icons landed so well, and I'm sorry King of Blues didn't.

You asked whether this could be a batch issue. I can't answer that honestly without looking at your bottle. If you write to hello@godofessence.com with the batch code from the bottle or box, and a photo, I'll check it against our records myself. If something is off with your batch, we'll make it right.

One honest note: King of Blues is a fresh, clean style, and it sits very differently from the rich, layered Icons. But 'low-end' is not what we are aiming for, and consistency matters to us.
