Kingdom is a fusion of rare and exotic materials designed to evoke a sensual and sexual fragrance with many different sides. The first impression is one of fresh, sparkling femininity but this develops to become darker ' more dangerous ' as the day progresses.

The fragrance is primarily composed around the rare and noble essence of sandalwood. The top notes are a blend of fresh Calabrian Bergamot, Sicilian Mandarin and Tunisian Neroli. The heart exudes the oriental aura of Cumin essence and a cascade of Rose and Indian Jasmine petals. The mere hint of a raw, animal scent is more overtly sexual. A touch of ginger offers a fresh contrast to the Sandalwood and Copahu wood, another precious and exotic wood with a peppery trail. Finally, the base notes are a blend of Bourbon vanilla and Indonesian myrrh that infuses the woody notes with its sensual presence. It is the blend of woody, spicy and floral notes that makes Kingdom unique. Kingdom, like everything Alexander McQueen touches, plays on the contrast between innocence and experience, between vulnerability and sexual power.
