"Kenneth Cole Black is a woody aromatic men’s fragrance introduced in 2003. It is built around a cool, modern contrast of citrus, water mint, basil, and ginger in the opening, moving into a darker heart of incense, nutmeg, woods, and lotus. The overall character is fresh, slightly ozonic, spicy, and urban, with a smoky-musky-suede base that gives it a more shadowy profile than many mainstream fresh scents of its era. Contemporary retailer and review sources consistently describe it as a sleek, masculine daytime fragrance with a distinctive cold-spicy freshness. It has also developed a reputation among enthusiasts as an early precursor to later ‘blue’ masculine styles, while still retaining its own incense-woody signature. The scent remains one of Kenneth Cole’s better-known men’s releases and is widely sold in EDT form."
