Very helpful Review 14  
Your shirt scent, if you don't like patchouli!
It's funny, with no other fragrance have I read so often that Kiton Men was the first (Maybe I'm out with the wrong fragrances?).
Funny because I can still remember the marketing lecture in which the Kiton brand was on the side of the conservative brands (the lecturer commented the section with "rather uncool") in a diagram. So I sat there in the lecture with my perfume on it, a "rather uncool" brand.
But did I feel that way? Definitely no!

This fragrance has a wonderful masculine-fresh charisma. Wow, you smell good, like you just had a shower." The so-called shower gel vibe here has some fragrances, which is not wrong, but many of them have a patchouli note, which I do not like, for example Aventus. Kiton Men doesn't just smell like the shower gel on the bottom shelf, it smells much more exclusive
When I was 16 I was introduced to the fragrance by my first real girlfriend, who presented me the fragrance that was on the bottom shelf of Müller's fragrance department with the words "try the fragrance here, I just love it". I agreed with her, I liked this fragrance very much right away and so it happened that I got it as a birthday present a few weeks later. He became my party scent, my "fancy food" scent, or my night scent. For a long time it remained my only scent. The girlfriend left, but the fragrance is still in my collection today.

It was also the scent I wore when I first visited my current girlfriend in her home country. After 6 train and Flixbus drives, as well as 45 minutes at the bus station in the sun, because she stood in the traffic jam, she asked me how I could still smell like fresh showered. It was Kiton Men.

Meanwhile (with middle-end 20) I wear it very gladly as everyday life - shirt smell, straight if my smell should not apply too much and I need a feeling of freshness. On the skin I take it was not very long with me (2-3 hours), however on the clothes it has a considerable durability (6-8 hours). Accordingly, its Sillage is not too big, but it fulfills its purpose in this field of application.

Masculine Floweriness
*Kiton Men* starts strongly fresh and floral with a very subtle sweetness, which reminds me a bit of *Kenzo Power* in the top note. (No Scent Twin)

This subtle sweet floral notes gradually fades away and is slowly joined by this warm, spicy, woody, rough, masculine note.

Although I don't know many fragrances yet and I'm still relatively inexperienced with perfumes, I have rarely used/obsessed with a fragrance that can change so much.
This enchanting transformation from this clean, unisex floridity to the masculine, spicy-woody note is definitely not something you smell every day.

I would describe the performance for this fresh fragrance as good. Pleasant, non-intrusive sillage with acceptable 5-6 hours of endurance.

A fragrance that in my opinion can be worn after every occasion and every season.
Whether in the office or in leisure time, summer or winter, always wearable.

If you don't know him, it's worth testing!!!

Beloved boredom
On a day in 1897, a man stands by a road and films a scene. You can find the colorized clip on Youtube. It is surprisingly tender images. We see grown people throwing snowballs. They bounce and throw, reaching exuberantly into the snow again and again, finding new teammates and covering new backs and coat collars with the white powder. It's so innocent and rotten, fun so famously and utterly colossal, that you go quiet. Silent as the film itself. They don't know they're yet to experience the bloodthirst of their age, whose earth will devour them. They throw snowballs. It is the time of innocence.

Kiton Men has always been like this scene for me: serene and rotten and a bit outside of ongoing events. The scent feels like it's from a world where you could still find a flower in your buttonhole here and there, where men wore suits in their everyday lives (as best as their social classes allowed) and in a rare moment of cockiness could suddenly become colossally cheerful.

The fragrance starts with pleasant bergamot embedded in an unsweetened pineapple. Above all, Kiton Men is wooed by a soft floral aroma that can make a gentleman out of a guy, well-meaning and quiet. It comes across as so polite and courteous, so supremely classic and devoid of foppish attitude, that it almost makes you feel like you've stepped back in time to the centuries. There is nothing at all ostentatious or showy about the fragrance. It is not at any moment calculating. And before the florals possibly come through unseemly, it also dims the burgeoning color palette with dryness. It's elegant in an old-fashioned way. A pleasant companion.

And it's just basic honest craftsmanship. You don't read a chemistry set on the packaging, just a few ingredients. The fragrance does not turn any daring pirouettes, but accompanies you through everyday life as reliably as a pocket square. And even if the great compliments are missing, because simply the effects are missing, may seem boring, where it is beautiful.

And yes, boredom. It has a bad reputation. Yet it gives us its great arc beyond jumpy attractions. It is as slow and time-lost as an uneventful winter day. The fragrance tells us a bit about that, about slow gestures and silent waiting. But it also tells of something suddenly happening. That encounter in the street where people come together and throw snowballs. Nothing worked up to it, nothing noises in between. It's what the scent is like.

i used to take him
often worn, but damn today no more, since a good buddy used him as a non-stop scent I no longer want to wear him, since he has become his for me.
That's, I think, really well done. Certainly not oldscool but nevertheless very classic Cologne hints, especially with the fresh bergamot in the top note and with its rosy violet-like slightly sweet twist. He's not really Italian either, rather ... I couldn't assign him to any nation, that honours him too, or you have to do it first. It lasts quite long, but after 3-4 hours it becomes a skinscent, but still with a floral, not feminine but also not very fresh freshness. Good, unusual scent - definitely.

He's just there!
Well up front, this is my first entry. I am interested and not quite far away from the subject but I lack the talent to the Flavouristen, but I feel good associations and think yet a bit of ideas to be able to convey.

Kiton eau de toilette

I had as a teenager once a small fragrance sample and whenever I sniffed it I thought: this is pure elegance, I'll buy me when I'm grown up and stand in the job.
A few years have gone into the country and I found him now discounted, so it had to be then probably.

The fragrance is of his sillage rather a body to 10cm sniffer. He starts floral, somewhat fruity. Sometimes you can also smell the pineapple compote.
After an hour or two, a dusty note joins it, reminiscent in the form of a balsa wood, like a hazelnut ice cream in an idyllic garden. So not to be confused with a desert sand lemon like cacharel pour homme or a dusty brake like Narciso Rodriguez; both great scents but here it's more like the brightly polished chrome rim of my blue Bugatti, which I only notice out of the corner of my eye while my main focus is on getting in (accompanied by the gentle click of the door opener, the smoothness of the seat surface etc....). Later on, there is a mossy note with which it stays on the shirt until it just recedes at some point. Durability is about 7 hours.

This execution can be forwarded to the general appearance of the fragrance. If we take our Otto Normal allegory here, speak the good-looking, top fit, well-educated, successful man of today, then this one is (especially at the beginning by the fruit component) the young graduate in his first job, which makes his job with much verve and joy. He wears an inconspicuous but excellent suit, drives a car just as and makes quite mistakes,but they are always forgiven him gladly.

The fragrance is just there, only the wearer gives him his character. He always goes during the day, for evenings a little too bland and quiet.

I love him. He will accompany me like a dog without if and but....

if you're not looking for anything specific, this will always get you there.

Just ignore the opening, the magic starts after an hour or so. And I just gotta add that that this ugly bottle has a magnificent atomizer :)
