Kenneth Cole Black Bold Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray

Kenneth Cole Black Bold Eau de Parfum 100ml is a confident woody-aromatic men's fragrance composed by master perfumer Harry Fremont (Firmenich) and launched in 2016. Zesty mandarin, frozen ginger, watermint and tonic open the bottle on a chilled, electric lift, ground nutmeg, lotus flower, cedar leaf and incense smoke shape an aromatic-spicy heart, and a base of black and blonde woods, suede, violet leaves, soft musks and ambergris gives the composition modern depth.

Who it's for

Best for men who like fresh aromatic-woody perfumery with a slightly smoky-incense edge — natural territory for fans of Yves Saint Laurent Y, Mont Blanc Explorer or Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme. The suede-and-musk drydown gives it grown-up character; the watermint-and-mandarin opening keeps it cool and modern. A useful daily signature for office and evening wear.

How to wear it

Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck and the base of the throat — from around 15 cm away. As an Eau de Parfum, expect strong projection in the first one to two hours and a soft, woody-suede skin scent for around six to eight hours total.
