Description
White, simple, comfortable, cotton T-shirt was inspiration for a new perfume by the house of Kenneth Cole. It represents perfection of form and function and is the ultimate fashion base for urban style. Equally comfortable and modern T-shirt and perfume Kenneth Cole Reaction T-Shirt introduce light and modern notes of contemporary style.
Reaction T-Shirt is composed of fruity zests of pear, apple, yellow passion fruit and water melon. A heart incorporates aquatic-floral accords, lavender, juniper berries, gin and tonic. Base notes introduce cedar, sandalwood, white musk and cotton accords.
Reaction T-Shirt is available in a bottle with simple and clear lines. It is a reinterpretation of the first fragrance Reaction, with matte-silver stopper and logo on the bottle inspired by a white T-shirt etiquette. The perfume is available as 30 and 100ml edt, with 300 ml perfumed shower gel. We can expect the perfume to arrive on the market in March 2009.

question: I have the original version, with the t-shirt tag on the front. is the re-release the same smell?
fluongefere – :
This scent is fabulous, I tried it first as it was the one I purchased first. I purchased the reaction and I am like no way. This T shirt version is way better. I get more compliments in this than the original reaction. Don’t let any sayers deter you, try it for yourself!!!

This juice isn’t as bad as some try to make it. It is very light, and has poor sillage but the smell is very decent after the initial spray. This is to light for me, so off to the Mrs. It goes, yes its that light and airy that it can be unisex. Smells way better on her than I. I just received my reaction juice from Kenneth Cole, and I can honestly say I like T-shirt better than the original reaction.

So this isn’t disgusting smelling but this was an easy DISLIKE !
To my nose this smells like a really cheap smelling feminine air freshener. In my opinion this is very feminine and not a very good feminine scent to boot.
This scent is very fruity,synthetic, slightly sharp but also smooth at the same time. The passion fruit is very strong in this ! Even though I didn’t like this I could possibly see some women liking this or if you have a very metrosexual style. For my own personal taste this was a pass.
Performance on this is sadly only 2-4 hours with very little projection.
Overall rating —5 out of 10 ! Sadly the price point reflects the fragrance which is not the case for the original Reaction.

Got this as a gift, fragrance is good.
The scent is interesting, its a cheap fresher Sean John’s Unforgivable clone (which is already a clone of Millisieme Imperial). However, its no where near as good as the other 2.
The scent is fresh and very fruity, and dries down to become a clean tshirt lavender/soapy smell.
Longevity is pitiful to my standards, however at 10 to 30$s its just a bit below average (3-4 hours).
Fragrance has a great smell at its price, definitely unisex and can be used in dress down casual situations and gym wear. If it had better longevity/performance on the top notes I’d say its a solid buy, unfortunately it doesn’t. Ends up smelling like fresh cleaning product that doesn’t last too long.

This fragrance is perfect in every way, except one: it was marketed for men. Bought this looking at the notes, and found out right away that this was the perfect feminine citrus fragrance for my girlfriend. A beautiful, realistic passionfruit, with watermelon and an alcoholic vibe, this is absolutely perfect for those hot days.
3/10 for men. 10/10 for women.
strannik666 – :
The cotton note in this is very nice. I wish more men’s fragrances had a prominent cotton note like this.
The problem is the other half of this. I was expecting it to be fruity but instead it smells oddly like a cheap fall-scented candle. It’s strange and unpleasant.
I figured the bottle I had must have gone off so I ordered another from a seller I trust and it smelled exactly the same.
voskralex – :
A lot of the bottles I’ve tested smell rancid and have gone off. If you batch code says m13 it was made in 2013 and is not fresh. I’ve purchased four bottles form different retailers and they all smell sour. I had a fresh bottle back in 2013 and it was glorious. Please beware
nikolajivashenko – :
T-Shirt is a sparkling citrus, with a few wisps of other fruits, and freshly washed and dried clothes (musk).
Wholly linear and entirely pleasant, but not a stand out at all. If I had the chance to sample this, I wouldn’t have blind bought it. However, this can be had for pennies and is a great blind buy or a gift to the casual fragrance user.
***NOTE my bottle is orange and not blue. I think blue is more fitting, but I think it was an advertisment error.
pacygoact – :
Unreal good. Im a cologne snob, and this cheap cheap stuff is nearly as tastey and powerful and good as the origional reaction. Its got a berry start, not great, but then theres this fresh ‘new tshirt smell’ also, which is incredible they could capture that, and then it dries to an egyptian musk with a fruity aura. It really is special. And at 8.00$ a bottle, its almost an unreal good deal, perhaps the greatest all around cologne that I’ve purchased this year (out of about 30) if you factor in the price.
SaTaNa_RUS – :
DO NOT BLIND BUY THIS, PLEASE!
It smells different, yet different is not always good
I was expecting watermelon, and all I got was shitty passion-fruit
Hassan2012 – :
This is a such an odd/weird scent for a guy. It doesn’t smell anything like the original Kenneth Cole Reaction which to me is a great smelling original scent. The T-shirt edition hits you with a little bit of Passionfruit, dulled by the Cottonflower, a lot of Lavender, and finishes with plenty of salty musk. After a few seconds the lavender starts to dominate, and the musk is noticeable, and it becomes an extremely bad floral, powdery scent on the drydown, men’s colognes are typically not known for being floral & powdery. I had my girl smell this after it dried down and she said it smelled like a cheap floral women’s perfume. While this is different, I don’t enjoy smelling like a woman’s floral, powdery perfume. I had to give this to my girl, even though she’s not big on floral scents either, it smells more appropriate on her rather than myself, she ended up throwing this away. To be honest I expected something much different than this, it doesn’t smell like Citrus at all, it doesn’t smell good either. Think floral expired bug spray.
Scent:2 It’s definitely different, but smells awful
Longevity:5 I get 4 hours on my skin
Sillage/Projection:3
Unique/Industry First: It smells so bad, it’s not unique
Quality:4
Overall:2.5
This scent smells absolutely nothing like CK one summer, Hugo boss summer, Happy by clinique or Chanel allure pour homme, as other reviewers have erroneously stated. It’s so far away from Happy, it’s not even in the same universe.
This one is so bad, I’m honestly stunned Kenneth Cole released this. It’s embarrassingly bad.

Kenneth Cole Reaction T-Shirt is a summer scent through and through. It is light but still packs a punch. I picked it up for $11USD and it really is a great blind buy for summer if you like tropical booze.
The open is very much like 212 VIP Men but has no spice to it. It has passion fruit which seems stronger than 212 VIP Men but you get gin seeping in from the mid but it is much lighter, even fresher. Because it is lighter, it seems more tropical dare I say, Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville 212 VIP Men. That is where the similarities end between the two. Reaction T-shirt then goes into a cotton like smell rather than a sweet mixed with spice. It smells like a cotton t-shirt that you got wet. It is pretty comforting and fitting to the name
Reaction T-shirt is a spring/summer scent for work due to a lighter alcohol, BBQs, casual use, ballparks, active use and vacation. That said it projects moderately about an hour and a half and lasts a total of five to six hours on my skin. It can however become rather invisible due to the cotton smell that dominates the base, especially if you are wearing cotton. This makes it work as a gym scent. After initial projection, it can be untraceable.
Kenneth Cole Reaction T-Shirt is a great dumb grab and low risk blind buy for spring/summer use. I can even use it into October in Arizona in a number of situations, even work. And it lasts pretty good. For this, I rate Reaction T-Shirt a 7.4 out of 10 for a solid summer performer.

This is just my honest and real post: All the stupid liars and untruthful reviewers in this blog, need to stop lying and been deceitful with unreliable reviews about fragrances misleading people in to buying bad, shitty fragrances like this one ( T-Shirt Kenneth Cole) just for the fun of it!!!!!!
Шпрот7 – :
I love simple scents, so I was drawn to this one. I think everyone wants a nice, clean scent that you can associate with a fresh white t-shirt.
Overall, I didn’t like it. It’s a very soft, fruity melon. It is by all means unisex. To me, it smelled like mango candy. If anyone remembers the “Mambo” candies, this is what it smells like.
It may appeal to some, and it can be had for decently cheap. I found it at Burlington Coat Factory for $24.99 for 100ml.

Clean and Fresh!!! I wanted this one for a while. Glad to have found this gem.
drug5557 – :
Surprisingly, it’s very fruity for a men’s fragrance. It could possibly be unisex and share between his and her. Very suitable for summer days, days to relax and have fun. I find myself enjoy this more than the original and Thermal. Should I get one? Maybe if the price is right.
xxrobinxx – :
Very nice cologne. Smells like a t-shirt that’s hot out of the dryer. Smells so good. Lasts long and projects ok. You won’t stink up a room with this one.
Alex_Mal – :
I think that his fragrance needs to be applied to more than just your skin. This is one of the few fragrances that I will actually spray directly onto my clothes. Usually just a basic v-neck or some plain colored shirt. Although it smells slightly synthetic, the fragrance isn’t too cloying. The times I actively use it are days spent at home with my girlfriend. It’s very casual and subtle.
After the initial spray, it goes down to a skin scent in about 3 hours on my skin. So the longevity is fairly short, but thats to be expected. The sillage is subtle and despite the number of sprays seems to stay close to 2 feet in projection strength around me.
Overall, the scent itself is decent and is good for a stay-in kind of day.

I bought this perfume at tjmaxx for $29,99. It’s a very comforting scent, it smells to me like fabric softener and freshly iron pressed cotton. The first notes are fruity but not in a feminine or overpowering way. The middle notes are more typical of a masculine but the mix with the top fruity notes is what makes it exquisite. I have to say, this perfume took me by surprise, I really like it .
It resembles a lot to TDC “Tokyo Bloom”, although tokyo bloom last longer and is less fruity, still remains the fresh essence.
T-Shirt has a very short life span, after three hours maximum. you can’t smell much. Which is a drawback, since this is a beautiful fragrance for men.
HardRain – :
this is a great scent and it looks like they just released it again in the same style bottle but it’s got an orange tint to it
Sandro1966 – :
This has a mild scent and weak silage. Perfect for a summer vacation in the tropics just wearing a white t-shirt, khaki shorts and flip flops. Has a mild sweetness that’s refreshing in a warm climate.
I love the mild scent. This cologne is meant for my nose only. Makes my mood better during a hot summer day.
My overall rating 6.5/10

The only place I’ve been able to find this is in Puerto Rico when I’m on vacation. It’s a shame because I bought this when it first released at Macy’s and it came with a big bottle of shower gel which added to the projection and longevity. With out the gel it doesn’t last long. I still have 90% from my last trip to PR last summer. Paid about $50. Online it’s going for as high as $129 if you can find it and it’s not worth $100. One of my favorite summer scents. Best way to describe this scent is fresh cotton sheets blowing in the wind on a clothes line on a summer day.
Пыхнул-Выдыхай – :
where can i find this perfume??? has this been discontinued???
tfj122intitytek – :
omg i’ve just bought this and it smells exactly like Mariah Carey’s Luscious Pink! it smells so good! im going to get Mariah’s fragrance 2.

Reaction T-Shirt is actually a very unique and interesting fragrance. It doesn’t remind me of anything that I’ve smelled but does give off the clean vibe from Gendarme for Men. Picture that clean, fresh linen smell from Gendarme. Now add all the fruity notes and gin, and that’s what it smells like. In the top I get a puree of all the fruits blended, then I get a bit of the lavender and a heap of gin in the middle with the fruits still sweetening the mix, and in the base, I get a light musk and cotton flower with the gin/lavender/fruit puree dominantly lingering over. It’s the scent of your favorite white cotton T-Shirt after it comes out of the dryer, assuming that you also used fruit-scented dryer sheets.
You know when you’re going out with friends but it’s a casual hang out so you wear just any casual cologne? Y’all possibly go shoot pool or have a few drinks at a casual bar, maybe hang out and just have a few beers at each other’s house while watching a game, then after the evening is over, you come home and crash out in your clothes. You wake up at noon and have nothing special planned so you stay in that same clothes and for the remainder of that day you keep smelling the light, leftover remnants of your cologne, from the previous night, on your t-shirt. You’ve just smelled Reaction T-Shirt!
I really enjoy this one but sillage isn’t so good but then again, that would sort of defeat the purpose of what this fragrance is about. I’ve only received a handful of compliments while wearing this but they were positive. Longevity is around 4-6 hours and it’s a casual scent, nothing too special, good for anyone in their teens to someone in their 30’s. It’s meant for the warmer months but also works in cooler weather.

I didn’t know it was for males… oops

When I first bought this, I must admit, I thought to my self “Is it me or is this a bit Girly” But after a while when the fragrance has settled it becomes fresh and although the fragrance is light you can still tell it’s there. you know sometimes you look up or break concentration because something smells good, you’ll forget you’re wearing it until for some reason or another you get a whiff of it!
In my opinion it is a great everyday summer fragrance, it’s not in yours (or anyone else’s) face but you’ll know its there!
katyouha – :
smells amazing but i cant smell it seriously 5 minutes after putting it on. its a shame really cos i love the smell….
LKeqinQ – :
Smelt this in the store the other day. It reminded me of CK Summer.
яхант – :
The fruity notes stay on and are very elegant. Can easily be a unisex cologne. Smells like a refreshing, calming morning shower on a weekend.
This stuff is great, the rum makes the fragrance, floral and fruity notes are a great touch….Great Summer/fall/spring fragrance…very very light,but good…love it
obibozik – :
JonJon, I agree 100% about the Luscious. Pink! When I took it home and sprayed it on me, I said “This smells JUST like ‘Liscuous Pink’ by Mariah Carey!
Raven666 – :
I really love this one! Maybe even more than the original! Call me crazy but does anyone else think it smells like Daisy Marc Jacobs, Luscious Pink Mariah Carey, and True Religion for women? It’s weird cuz all those are womens scents! It must be all the fruit in it. Either way I love it and I need to get myself a bottle!
kromas – :
I just left Macy’s! I got this and a big shower gel for 58 bucks! I can’t stop smelling myself. This smells sooooo freakin good
tiesto – :
This is for sure a fresh scent, very different from original Reaction. I found the original too melon/cucumber and just too bland. This one is actually an everyday scent I can actually use.
