Kenneth Cole Reaction Eau De Parfum

Kenneth Cole Reaction Eau de Parfum for Women was launched in 2005 and created by perfumer Laurent Le Guernec. Designed to embody brightness, spontaneity, and a youthful spirit, Reaction is a fresh and fruity floral fragrance that feels energetic and approachable. With its vibrant, playful character and soft sensuality, this scent is ideal for casual wear, especially in warm weather, evoking carefree days and cheerful moments.

The fragrance opens with a joyful and juicy mix of melon, grapefruit, watermelon, mandarin orange, apple, and raspberry. This bright and effervescent fruit medley creates a sparkling introduction, where the sweet, dewy facets of melon and watermelon meet the tangy bite of grapefruit and mandarin. The apple adds a crisp, green freshness, while raspberry contributes a hint of soft tartness, making the top notes feel both sweet and clean without becoming overwhelming.

In the heart of the composition, a gentle floral bouquet unfolds with lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, orchid, and violet leaf. Lily-of-the-valley brings a light, airy floral quality, while jasmine adds a richer, velvety touch. Orchid introduces a creamy elegance with a slightly exotic edge, and violet leaf contributes a green, slightly aquatic character that grounds the florals with freshness. The heart is soft, feminine, and graceful, serving as a smooth bridge between the sparkling top and the cozy base.

The base settles into a warm and delicate finish of musk, white amber, vetiver, and a whisper of cotton candy. The musk adds a soft, skin-like sensuality, while white amber provides a clean, luminous warmth. Vetiver brings a subtle earthiness and texture to the composition, and the cotton candy note lends just a touch of sweet nostalgia without veering into sugary territory. The dry down is light yet memorable, enhancing the fragrance’s overall freshness with an inviting warmth.
