An Individual Musk
Kiton Men is one of those gents' perfumes that somehow always have been around, but without getting any bigger attention. It is still available, and you supposedly find it somewhere on the bottom shelf or a in hidden corner in your local perfume shop.
Kiton Men is an elegant, classy fragrance and a little bit on the spicy side, especially at the beginning. The spice notes are somehow bright or light and piquant – quite difficult to describe. It is not the Christmas-like spiciness that one can get from cinnamon and clove, it is more the lean coriander style. The mentioned mace in the pyramid does it just as well.
Nevertheless, spiciness is not the main characteristic. There is more to it, and it is becoming much clearer towards the base notes. What gives this perfume its special character is a certain ingredient that I would describe as an aromatic musk. It is soapy, but it is not a creamy white musk soapiness. I'd say this ingredient is aromatic and even somehow herbaceous, and it is an old friend of mine! It also determines the wonderful now discontinued Rodier pour Homme which I wear quite often. I find this aromatic musk particular masculine, and I guess it is the reason why Kiton Men is getting positive reviews. You simply have to feel attracted by it!
Around the musk, there are light floral notes bringing a little pinch of sweetness and amiability into Kiton Men, while some vague woody notes and tonka stand up against it. Kiton Men is well crafted around a fragrance note that sadly is not being used too often.
Being a light spicy musk, Kiton Men may be not for Latin Lovers. I think it fits well to men who have a not so dark complexion and maybe blond hair. Kiton Men is a mid-priced perfume – it should not cost you more than 50 € / 75 ml. For this small money you get an attractive and sexy perfume of a very rare kind, and so, I think you can call it an individual fragrance.
