Kenneth Cole for Him
I'm a teenager, and this cologne is pretty good for regular usage. The scent when you first buy it is way fresher, if you macerate it, it starts to have a more oub and sweetish slightly vanilla scent. Its smell? Perfect. I love the scent. However, when we get to performance...it somewhat fails. It may be scent blindness, but when I ask my friends if they can smell my fragrance, they always say no. (unless they're very, VERY close to me) This fragrance-for it's performance-has pretty good silage though. It's longevity is pretty good as well. On my skin, I get about 9 hours, however, you can very faintly smell it after 6 hours. Not terrible, but slightly under average. If you can understand it, it smells kind of like a bryson tiller song. When you initially spray it, you get a whole bunch of alcohol and somewhat a grassy type scent? The dry down on this cologne is crazy, it smells amazing. This fragrance gets a 4/10 projection, 6/10 sillage, 8.5/10 scent, and 5.5/10 longevity. However, if you macerate this, it's a 6/10 projection, 7/10 sillage, 9/10 scent, and 7/10 longevity. For the price of this fragrance however, i'd say it's way underrated. For price, i'd consider this a 8.5/10.

One of the most beautiful aromatic masterpieces and hidden gems... Kenneth Cole For Him. A very luxurious fragrance with an unrepeatable and unfamiliar scent for most people... For lovers of light, elegant, uncomplicated fragrances. A first-class office fragrance, dominated by the scent of sea salts and mineral salts with a light citrus touch on a luxurious amber base. Excellently masculine and very suitable for spring and summer climates ... With a very distinctive performance somewhat above average. The fragrance bottle is luxurious without pretentiousness, made of distinctive heavy glass in a gray color. Suitable as a psychological treatment due to its intense attractiveness and uniqueness.
The price is about $90 on the Kenneth Cole website.
Rating: 9/10

Kenneth Cole for him or also a blind buy to the Dylan blue killer.
There are tons of reviews in English-speaking forums, but I searched in vain for reviews in German.

Kenneth Cole was known to me as a designer in the mid-range price segment. However, I had never perceived the brand as a fragrance brand.

You won't find the scent in local perfumeries or drugstores, so I came across it through a blind buy in an online shop.

In the description, we read about citrus, mineral accords, wood, and floral notes. It sounds great, but somehow also a bit vague.

But how does it smell now?
At the start, we are surprised by a strong alcoholic note.
This initially startled me, but fortunately, it dissipates very quickly.

We also immediately perceive a citrus note. This does not come off as artificial and is quickly joined by soft woods and sharp ginger.

After the dry down, a bit of jasmine and amber join in.
I cannot perceive the mineral accords.

The sillage is decent, but not outstanding. The longevity is around 6-7 hours.

Overall, a high-quality "shower gel freshy" that does not come off as cheap. It is super fresh, but not aquatic!

It was extremely cheap < 35€/100ml.

It immediately seemed familiar to me, but I couldn't place it.
This made me ponder, and I went through my entire collection.

Hit! with Coach for men "ahhh of course"
Hit! with Dylan blue "really now?...oh yes, of course"

The similarity to Coach for men is truly remarkable. However, it lacks the geranium and leather.

For me, Coach is in the same genre as Dylan blue. Dylan blue has a slight sweetness, which can also be found in Kenneth Cole for him.

Conclusion: Good, fresh cheapy. Grade 3+
This scent will probably never annoy anyone, but it also won't knock anyone off their feet.
Absolute all-rounder that can be worn anywhere, except for black tie.

Citrusy-pure - slightly sweet freshness that immediately reminds me of a shower gel. H&S are okay. I didn't really notice the woodiness.

Affordable Coach/Dylan Blue alternative.
I don't understand how it got an 8.5 rating.
