What a strange fragrance this is….I’d read below that it was “office safe” and an inoffensive scent, pretty plain etc. Well, I sprayed once on each wrist first thing in the morning and wasn’t overly impressed, it seemed the reviews i’d read were likely correct. It reminded me of another scent (annoyingly I can make mental comparisons but 99 times out of 100 I can’t name the fragrance in question) and I told myself that once my commute was over, I could always wash it off when I got to work. On the journey to work my nose was irritated from the scent, I think it was the red berries note that was fizzling my nostrils. My journey to work takes just under an hour and shortly before I arrived I started to pick up hints of leather, so I thought i’d leave it and see how the fragrance developed. In the end, it lasted all day and all night (i repeat, one tentative spray on each wrist only) and after about 4 hours the leather changed completely into a green scent, very reminiscent of Green Irish Tweed!I see now that one person made that connotation in the ‘reminds me of’ section and i agree. For the rest of the scents life on my skin, that’s what I got, a kind of slightly fruity Green Irish Tweed. This isn’t something i’ll wear often (I still can’t decide if I like it or not) but it certainly surprised me and is a lot more complex that it first appears to be. Deceptive sillage and huge longevity.

I bought it and it”s very good ,and you who can not buy this perfume does not other lazy that other do not buy ,, First of all ,you have on youtube information for this perfume Kiton Black for men 🙂
dvdssony – :
Decent, but nothing amazing. Kiton Black is basically a tart raspberry scent driven by a suede/violet combo that fades into a sort of nondescript woody base. It’s linear for the most part and while it feels like the ingredients are of a good quality, it’s not really composed in a way that’s dynamic or layered. There’s little interplay among the notes and instead it’s just kind of there, a little blob-like, albeit pleasant and inoffensive. I wore it several times and each time I found it got annoying after an hour or so. I think the original Kiton is very good, so Black was disappointing to some degree, although not really a bad scent, it just didn’t live up to my expectations. Performance was fine. It has good silage and projection. It’s worth checking out, but don’t get your hopes up too much. I would rate Black a slightly above average 6 out of 10.

Let me explain why such a big difference here in opinions about longevity, projection and sillage of this perfume. As I found out hard way, it is manufactured in UK, Italy, Spain, France, and Ukraine. I had it in the past, and recently bought new bottle from the trusted online retailer. To my disappointment, it lasted 1/4 if not less than one from old bottle, and same poor was projection/sillage. I assumed it being usual victim of reformulation, and discarded it from my buy in the future list. Short time later I’m receiving sample of it with order from Nordstrom – and it has same performance as old. When I look at package of bottle I received I saw it states Made in Ukraine. I went to Nordstrom store and their Kiton is made in UK, and macy’s in Italy.
For a moment I thought that for the first time my trusted online source sold me fake product, but after some investigation I found out Estee Lauder in fact has manufacturing facility in Ukraine. I placed new order with another trusted online store, and guess what? Their Kiton was made in Ukraine too! I sent it right back without opening. I went through my collection and sure found few more made in Ukraine (Aramis line) underperforming Estee Lauder perfumes that I previously was blaming on reformulation. Being myself from ex-USSR, I know how much everyone is stealing from work to supplement their low salaries, and how bad is quality control, so for me it doesn’t come as surprise at all.
So, final verdict:
Scent 7/10 both versions are smell about the same on opening and drydown.
Longevity 8-9 hours for non Ukrainian manufactured version, and 1-2 hours for made in Ukraine bottle. Same goes to projection and sillage: moderate on borderline with heavy for one, and soft to non existing for another.

Smooth and refreshing scent! Not really natural-smelling but still smells very good to me. I find it is a scent that could suit almost any occasion. Unfortunately too masculine for me to wear (I enjoy wearing some masculine perfumes). Its soundtrack would be “Smooth Operator”.

Oh, Kiton Black , what a wicked web of intrigue you leave in your wake. Enough in fact to make you love this fragrance in all its smooth well rounded refinement. Which is what brings about that sense of boredom in time. I think of Kiton Black as perfect on a well groomed mature professional who prefers his suits to be tailored and of the best quality. A seemless genteel view on life ,excuse the pun. My initial impressions of Kiton Black were favorable, though some niggling thoughts about a grayness or almost velvet grayness that sullied the true blackness of this scent. This fragrance is very formal and well mannered to a fault. Too much of a smooth operator in my books to continue in my winter rotation.

Creamy violet and red berries scent. Has a leathery background to it. I think of this as a gentlemans cologne. While I dont get the most compliments on it, I personally love this cologne. Think of it as the suited up version of aftershaves. Its not quite a barbershop scent, but that creamy violet and red berries just have that thick clean essence.
For those complimenting on silage, you must have gotten a bad batch. This stuff is strong! My bottle is about 5 years old and is still ridiculously strong. One of those 2 sprays max fragrances. I was at the mall today and the guy at the fragrance store turned his back, then recommended this to me… after I already told him it was one of my 3 main scents. The sample there was weak, and it smelled familiar, but not anything like my bottle from nordstrom. Ill be purchasing “in production” bottles in stores whenever possible since Ive been burned by too many too good to be true cheap internet prices. Pay the premium on this one and get it in stores since its still in production.

So disappointed…
When i first used it, the effect was so weak that my friends could’t even smell it anymore after 1 hour, Even though i had sprayed several times!
Waste of the money..

It reminds me of Fahrenheit but better. That leather note and red berry note just says masculine. a must buy
docttor – :
tested this today, all hype for nothing. It’s nice but 2-4 hours smell almost nothing anymore. maybe office scent safe and not offensive

Kiton Black is my all time favorite men’s cologne! I remember smelling it in a New York Times Magazine ad back in 2007 and instantly adoring it. I kept the magazine just for the scented ad until I was able to get a bottle. Most men’s colognes are woody, musky, overpowering, and have a sharp lemon scent that is way to strong but, Kiton Black is woody, sweet, clean, and fresh. Top notes are bergamot and lemon with a hit of red berries. Crisp green violet leaves and cedar for a sexy masculine fresh scent. Dry down of Vetiver and leather for a lasting fragrance throughout the day. Love, Love, Love this amazing cologne!!

One I relate to Aramis Always, with the banana-skin like front. This has the night time qualities I wanted in He Wood by DSquared, another scent I fid has a banana-wood type smell to it. Gorgeous woody scent.

This is a nice safe scent. It can be a daytime scent, but I would reccomend it for office wear or nightwear. One of my favorite notes (Tonka Bean) is in this scent, which adds some energy, but it seems like this smells like so many other similar scents that I cannot remember. Maybe Polo Black or Bvlgari Black. Overall i do prefer this scent over the others, I am neutral about this scent. Overall 7/10
