“Kenneth Cole for Him captures a deep essence of the brand and creates a very special fragrance. A clean and edgy style embodied by a contrasted and graphic scent based on an enticing Mineral Accord.

It does not smell like la nuit de l’homme but it is in the same category with that fresh spiciness. Bottle also sort of reminds me of it too. This one is more masculine though. Give it a try. I may pick up a bottle. Didn’t test performance yet.

This is fan-flippin-tastic. Its masculine and slightly bold, without being overwhelming. It lasts for a crazy long time on my skin. Its that mineral saltiness that I think I am liking the most. There are so many scents out there that are similar right now, and so far I don’t know any other comparable fragrance to this. The citruses are not over pronounced which is nice. I am honestly burnt out on traditional citrus for men, it is way played out across the board. So kudos to this one for not going that route. This WILL be my hubby’s next gift scent.

My fragrancebro let me borrow his bottle. I get the ginger, citrus and amber; maybe wood and a little white floral somewhere. KCFH has a salty, mineral, synthetic, aquatic vibe that is smooth and well done. This smells very familiar but I can’t put my finger on it. Maybe something from the Bvlgari Aqva line? Pleasant, safe, clean shower gel.
Performance is soft. I’m only getting around four hours of longevity. This perfume is unisex for spring and summer. I don’t find it sexy but it is a crowd pleaser. I’m sure people will think you smell good. Kenneth Cole is one of those brands that I don’t give much thought to. You see it in department stores and assume it’s just generic, cheap cologne. For Him is generic but it smells nice. Aquatic scents often are headache inducing to me but not this one. It could perform a little better but it’s priced appropriately. Not bad Mr. Cole!

It’s a big love !
It reminds me (even the bottle) the fragrances of the nineties, but in a modern way : nice scent, clean, synthetic, simple, safe and versatile.
For me, it’s a mix of :
– hint of Hugo (top notes)
– Boss Bottled (drydown)
– a touch of Fierce (Aber… and Fitch).
Overall, it’s a soft fruity-woody fragrance.
My wife love. A friend (woman) said to me that it smells sexy and erotic. Erotic !?
The performance (longevity and sillage) is moderate-good.

I always have low expectations for scents like these (Sorry, Kenneth Cole).
But….Damn I love this stuff! After my first whiff, I bought it. I usually NEVER buy frags at retail cost, but this is one I bought immediately at the store.
I am starting to become a Niche-Head, however my love for designers will never die….Specifically because of scents like this one….
Extremely modern, youthful, slightly warm, very sensual and addicting. It starts off with beautiful warm citrus blended with ginger and amber. It’s warm, but not too warm. Not great for a hot day, but perfect for the office.
This will be great in the Fall, and Im sure I will even wear this in the Winter.
The drydown is what is addicting. It’s aromatic, which I dont typically like, however, the sea salt is what catches my nose. I cant not smell it. Its very unique for a mass appealing frag.
Overall: This is unexpected. I will always love designers. This stuff will garner compliments. Gosh I love this.

After you spray this you immediately smell sweet citrus and light ginger balanced with amber and I can also detect the sea salt which blends and balances the sweetness. After about 10 minutes the flower also shows up. This kinda reminds me of YSL L’homme because of the sweer ginger. Ginger note is really nice for summer colognes if blended properly like YSL L’Homme and Dior Homme Sport 2012, they give a cooling effect on my brain. This is great for hot summer days and nights as usual with designers, this will be a crowd pleaser and safe for office. One of the best Kenneth Cole release in my opinion. I will update this on the longevity tomorrow. Let me wear it for a whole day first, but I’m really enjoying this. If you’re tired of the ambroxan mania today from Sauvage, Dylan Blue, Coach, Atlantique etc. this one is for you.
9/10 For Great Smell
Edit:
It last 5-6 hours on my skin which to me is ok. I always carry a decant for any of my colognes if I’m going for more than 3 hours and I am a smoker.

Just got this as my scent of the month from Scentbird. I really didn’t expect a whole lot from this but wow was I surprised to really love it a lot. I couldn’t single out notes at first because it is pretty well blended. I kept wondering why do I like this so much. What accord is in here that is intriguing me? Then it hit me. There is an accord in KC for him that is in CK Escape for men. This is a more modern fresher marine warm weather scent than Escape. Really good. I like it and will rock it this summer for sure. Probably won’t buy a bottle just yet.

I accidentally left my queue empty on Scentbird and this was shipped to me. Wasn’t excited to receive it, (just based on a price/ml breakdown of a 15 dollar 8 ml decent of a designer fragrance) but I’m pleasantly surprised! Top notes of orange, lime, and ginger with an immediately obvious (and incredibly tenacious) undercurrent of sea salt. I’m talking so salty I can almost feel the crunch of a sea salt crystal on my teeth! It is a mineralic salt, with a metallic tinge, very likely from one of the overwhelmingly popular ambergris aromachemicals. All in all, this is a pleasing and transparent fragrance which fulfills the need for a utilitarian everyday scent.

I like this
Warm, cosy,i detect amroxan combined with appears to be jasmine and ginger.
Clean and inoffensive
In the drydown is kind of similar vibe (not too much though) with Le Beau, JPG.
ampist – :
Picked up a sample of this at Dillard’s last week. I’ve worn it a couple of times now. The dry down is very similar to Kenneth Cole Reaction T-Shirt. I honestly can’t really find anything good or bad to say about it. It’s probably the most uninteresting fragrance I’ve encountered in a long time. I usually have very strong opinions, but I’m totally indifferent to this. Boring.
costyashkin – :
Hmmm…it doesn’t appear to be similar in composition to either Sauvage or Invictus, so I’m cautiously optimistic.
smalldr – :
A very safe, simple fragrance. Tried it at Macy’s and wasn’t too impressed.

I am particulary eager to try this fragrance. The notes are unusual bu somehow they seem to conbine very well,
