Kenneth Cole Black Eau De Parfum

Kenneth Cole Black Eau de Parfum for Women was launched in 2004 and crafted by perfumer Amandine Clerc-Marie. This fragrance presents a modern and elegant floral composition with a clean, minimalist character, echoing Kenneth Cole’s sleek fashion aesthetic. Designed for the contemporary woman, it is understated yet expressive, blending delicate florals with subtle fruit and woodsy accords. Black is both versatile and sensual, making it a timeless scent for everyday sophistication or evening charm.

The fragrance opens with a gentle citrus accord paired with hyacinth and violet. The citrus provides a soft sparkle that feels refreshing but never sharp, setting a smooth and clean tone. Hyacinth adds a green, aquatic floralcy that is crisp and invigorating, while violet lends a soft powderiness, enhancing the airy and ethereal quality of the opening. These elements together create a subtle and refined introduction that feels fresh, light, and feminine.

The heart reveals a beautifully blended bouquet of lotus, magnolia, and tuberose. Lotus introduces a watery, slightly sweet floral note that carries a serene, zen-like calm. Magnolia brings a velvety, creamy floral nuance with a hint of citrus, deepening the scent’s floral body. Tuberose adds a faint touch of white floral sensuality without overpowering the composition, contributing warmth and elegance to the heart.

As the fragrance dries down, it transitions into a smooth base featuring iris, lotus, and magnolia once more. The iris contributes a soft, musky-powder finish with just a whisper of woody earthiness. The recurring lotus and magnolia notes maintain the fragrance’s overall floral identity, reinforcing its cohesion from top to bottom. The drydown is gentle, clean, and sophisticated, creating a lasting impression that feels effortlessly chic and subtly sensual.
