Have been using this scent for some time now. Love it!!!

This is my first choice among all you have sent so far.

Smells great! Gf loved it too

Pretty good nothing breathtaking though. Does give that initial woah kind smell to it. In a good way.

Love it!

It smells good, but it takes too many sprays to get it on to make it last for any length of time.

I like it, a little strong

Nice clean smell

Excellent

Smells great Love it

Great Smell

A classic fragrance

It's nice

This smells amazing! My husband loved it as soon as he smelled it. Perfect size since he doesn’t wear cologne everyday

The scent smelled so nice on my husband. We both really liked it.

Nice and spunky

Nice, smell

I got this for my husband because I read about it in a book and I have to say it smells awesome on him. A really clean but manly scent.

I like the aroma and the lasting effects

this is such a nice fresh/spicy scent but it just doesn’t last :(

A very great smell love it

It smelled fairly good. Seemed very light and didn't last long. Wasn't a big fan of it

Amazing

Good initial impression, settled with my chemistry well. Would have preferred it to last longer, but I enjoyed the overall impact.

Very nice fragrance

Smells good doesn't last all day

love it

Did not like this order

Very nice scent, Last for a while, and a strong manly scent that is also refreshing and draws people in. My girl says "This scent sets the mood for sexy time!"

Good fragrance

Grate

I love the smell lasts for quite the whole grate cologne

Pleasant manly smell, a everyday go to cologne.

It's nice, not to strong and doesn't linger for to long.

Great

At first u didn't think wouldn't like it, but as I wore it I kinda loved the scent.

This is the go too never fails ! My wife loves this scent!

It smells like "old man" cologne to me. Yuck. I do NOT understand the hype. Maybe it's an older people thing IDK.

It's smell really good. I mainly use it for work and I love it.

Its ok my husband ikes it. But I'm kinda use to it

Great cologne. Good for the office. It's not over powering.

This fragrance is the sh** and I mean that. It’s fresh and last a pretty decent amount of time but the scent is just absolutely refreshing. If you like fresh scents give this one a whirl.

Too bomb

Great smell

SO GOOD

The best!!

I got this for my husband for valentines day and it is definitely in my top 3 for man smells

It's about an average fragrance in my opinion

A clean, fresh, & masculine scent that settles into an almost powdery pepperd sent. Suitable for any season, setting or time. It's only downfall on me is the longevity is pretty weak. Otherwise 4.5 - 5 stars.

It smells delicious!

Nice Fragrance and Long Lasting

Love this scent.

This has become one of my favorite colognes. Its a perfect combination with my body chemistry

A bit too strong for me

Loved it.

it's okay it's a light fresh scent and it lasts a long time it's just nothing stands out about it

My wife loves it, but I think it's okay. I wear it, but not often.

I love this scent!!

Very Satisfied

One of my favorites

VERY satisfied

Smells great!

Fantastic cologne. Very nice fragrance. Strong enough without being overpowering. Long lasting. Perfect for date night.

Great

Awesome

Very smooth and fresh scent.

Very smooth and amazing scent.

Amazing fragrance!

Very smooth!

Lasts a long time

Great scent

Its just really faint and only lasts about 15 minutes

Great

I like it.

Love it

Definitely one of my favorites!

I love it!! Last long

Always loved it. My girl loves it

A evening out. Take her on the town scent. When she gets in close she’ll breathe deeper wanting more.

It's wonderful

Doesn't last long

Doesn't last very long, had to spray 3 to 4 times to get the scent to "stay on". Otherwise great smell and not too over powering.

Smell didn’t last as long as I thought

It’s okay , it ain’t that bad of a smell

Smells Amazing, but doesn't last long.

Does not smell like something I would buy.

Like it very good stuff

Very nice, clean and gives that little manly kick! Great for spring time!

It is a nice scent. I get a lot of compliments when I wear it.

Very nice smell

Not long lasting and very unisex

Not as strong as I thought. Calvin Dark much stronger.

Very nice! A great scent for day or night. Sexy on the skin very attractive!

Very fresh blast as soon as you spray it, nice hints of mint and orange. As the dry down continues turns into a more of a suedeish scent with hints of floral notes to me.

Smells good and fresh but I prefer darker heavier scents myself.

Had to sense of back.. Smells like an old man

Love the smell

Amazing.

Not a fan of this

Fresh

Great smell very fresh and clean smelling

Very fresh

Fantastic

I’m in love

Love this one!!

Nice. But not lasting.

Kind of light. Smelt nice but I didn't feel it was long lasting on my husband. My husband thought it smelt good but wasn't blown away.

Great scent; stylish, masculine, lasts for most of the day. I would recommend wearing to an event or gathering. Maybe not for a date night.

Love this cologne. Wore this when I was younger and it brings back so many memories!!

A classic scent. Pairs well with a body spray of the same scent.

Very bad just smell alcohol

Smells good.

I am a what people call a cologne whore lol. This scent is a classic. I will always have this scent in my collection. It’s my number one nighttime scent. Great for first impressions and first dates. It hits the musk ,citrus,and floral spectrum perfectly. The way I put it is that new cars always have that new car smell. Well consider this a new guy smell. Super fresh. Best right out of the shower use . The smell is like fresh linen zest. The smell lasts about 2 hours heavy about 3 hours skin . You will get compliments from this scent . Guarantee .

It's my favorite cologne that I buy my husband he loves it too

It smells descent

This fragrance is amazing. The only thing is, it doesn't last very long on my partner.

The cologne is one of the best I've ever had. Great soft smell. Last all day long.

Nothing "special " that really separates this mens cologne from another. Still, smells great on my husband...and makes me wanna jump his bones, mission accomplished!

Love this one. Would buy.

Like it, just dont last long.

This scent is great for closer quarters but I find that it doesn't have that reach out power, like when you pass someone a few feet away. I'd buy it again without thought.

The scent is nice but fades very quickly.

Is an ok scent, but has zero staying power. I put it on and feel like I can’t smell it at all within an hour.

Like it real smoove

Loooooooooove iiiiiiiiit my dude

excellent product. would recommend it.

Great cologne at a excellent price.

This is an oder frangrance that i have replinished in my husband cologne suppy for many years. I am a fragrance "junkie" and stay on top of the latest fragrances for both my husband an myself. KC Black is a must have for any well dressed, handsome gentleman even though it' an older frangrance. It's the icing on the cake! My husband can have anything he wants from me when he's wearing this one!!!!!

tht's one of the best perfume in the world.

excellent feeling scent its very soothing and chill and the woodsy spicy drydown really bring this out and make it a hit its just a little sweet and heavy for summer or daytime, and its a bit strong but still a great scent

A must!...As a girl I've met men with terrible colognes...but that one just drives me nuts...I love it!...

for Black on here. It really got some bad reviews on basenotes and I honestly don't understand why. Then again, most Creeds don't appeal to me so maybe it's just me.

I bought this for my boyfriend maybe a year and a half ago. Now it's all gone. This scent is not too overpowering and it smells quite nice. I think it can work for day or night.

I just bought it yesterday. I love the scent. Smells a little bit like Issey Miyake. Guys, buy this fragrance instead of much more expensive signatures like Armani, CK, etc. Really worth your money.

of all the men's colognes out there and theres alot of good stuff this ranks high on my list. i've worn it myself on few occasions and it's funny how guys tell me i smell good. it makes me laugh. another one that i adore is guerlain l'instant for men. so damn sexy and very hot!!!

Pretty decent stuff, this spicy lemony/woody scent is. Signature is better with better lasting power which is what this stuff lacks.

At the first time i spray it on my skin, the smell's fresh a 'bit woody. But when it dried, it turns into sweet. I think it smells like CK Be??

Kenneth Cole is in my opinion a floral fruity fragrance, and like it was said earlier, there is a hine of grapefruit. This is a wonderful cologne that is an attention getter because for the most part it smells like nothing else out there except similar to Escada Scentiments which in its self is also a master piece. I think it is well worth the money.

The name implies that this might be a dark, musky scent. Even the notes, bottle and ad suggest the same. However, I smell a fruity, fresh scent at the start that dries down to a "Chrome" kinda smell later on. It certainly can throw one a curve ball, but in a good way because it's a great scent. I just think it should come in a clear bottle and be called "White"!

Rather bold, masculine, sophisticated and sensual choice from Cole is good for the evenings but is becoming too commonly worn and doesn't last very long.

All of the Kenneth Cole fragrances are great. I'm torn between this and Reaction as my favorite KC. A fresj amd clean scent that lasts all day. I recommend getting the shower get too :)

Kenneth Cole is making an awesome line-up of fragrances and seemingly going head-to-head with Armani. I personally prefer Kenneth Coles variety over Armani. I like all 4 of his fragrances with Black being my favorite and will probably being adding it to my collection. Women comment about Black being "very sexy".

I don't know how you guys can say this cologne doesn't have staying power. I put it on in the morning and I can still smell it on me in the evening.

i do smell grapefruit in KCB but i like the note. it brings out the freshness of a scent. one of my fav's has grapefruit (212 H2O) BUT KCB is a very good scent. i have a sampler and may purchase soon. kenneth does s good job,now i must sample signature.

JUST RIGHT FOR EVERYDAY USE... FLOWERY SCENT NOT HARMFUL TO THE NOSE... HAS THAT "SUEDISH" SMELL... MMMMM...

I love it. Smells great and it lasts on my skin. Two sprays will do. Every retailer that I've gone to, the saleswomen love it and are always recommending it.

Nicely powered and fairly sophisticated 2nd attempt from this designer and pretty darn good of its type.

Strong, powering evening fragrance is pretty sophisticated stuff for the average price and I'm amazed that it's only been reviewed this many times so far.

This is a very bold and minty/lemony fragrance that seems most appropriate for evenings but could as well be used for casual outings, I guess.

after two 0.04 oz samples, why are so many new colognes smelling like grapefruit to me. Since I don't like bitter fruit, I don't like what I smell here. I give Black credit for being strong enough and lasting. But I will not buy more.

Nice fragrance. A bit overpowering at first, then somewhat mellows after a few hours. I like it.

This bold, masculine, sexy and sophisticated fragrance from Mr. Cole could be so much better if it actually lasted.

I get lots of complements and play with Black. 1 spray will lst you all night.

Reaction by Kenneth Cole smells good too--if not better. Black is more chic. The notes that satnd out for me are mandarin, mint and that incense smell. Also they easily go with your body chemistry. But Reaction is more all-around clean and lighter and not as striking. You can't go wrong with either one of them but I wish they would have came out with Reaction because I probably would have chosen it over Black. Kenneth Cole keep snapping with these bomb a#$ colognes!

I got myself a free sample not long ago. I like the scent but it's nothing special. Quite average actually. I certainly don't think it's worth the price. Also it doesn't last as long as most colognes I wear but for an 8 hour day it's just fine. Still if I get enough compliments for the women I'll try and score some more free samples...but I won't buy it.

A male friend turned me on to this... men GO NUTS too. And lasts longer than most perfumes for women.

This cologne is one of my personal favorites!

A NICE FOLLOW-UP TO THE ORIGINAL. THIS ONE IS MORE FOR EVENING AND ROMANTIC OCCASIONS. KEEP IT GOING, KC.

i went on a blind date w/a guy who wore this, and though i wasnt initially attracted to him, i was after i got a whiff of his cologne. very manly, very sexy.

is this long lasting?? i'm considering purchasing one of these actually.

I wear it for evening get-togethers and special meetings. I ALWAYS get great compliments! The ladies love it. The men inquire about it. Thank you Kenneth Cole!

Dave have you ever considered purchasing a gift set that includes an After-shave balm or an all over shampoo? This make the scent last alot longer...........

Kenneth Cole Black is decent overall. I prefer it as a daytime fragrance as opposed to nighttime scent. Not overbearing but doesn't last as long as others either.

Haven't tried his last one that bears his name but Kenneth Cole hit the jackpot on this one. Sensuous and sophisticated, this powerful but not overpowering scent attracts a lot of women wherever I go. Keep it coming Mr. Cole.

this rminds me of(212 white,burberry weekend) it is refrshing and cooloing. you will compliments from the ladies

I love this cologne. It's fresh, warm, and classy. It seems to fade too quickly. Other than that, I love it.

My boyfriend purchased it and I can't keep my hand off of him when he wears it. I give it a five because it really turns me on.

Some colognes smell like citrus, some mint, others candy...even wood. This one is hard to pin-point. Certainly it is one of the finer colognes. I tested it. I wore it several times. I bought it. Ultimately I like it but it is hard to describe. One perhaps odd thing is that something in it reminds me of tomato sauce. It is citrusy at some point but changes to tomato sauce from time to time. I will agree with one poster who said it goes on with a funny smell. I think it had a sour bite to it when I first applied it today. Since it is complex I find it difficult to pin-point. It definitely will not offend. I think it is one that people remember the scent and think of you. I'll give it a 5* but perhaps its really a 4.5. Also I don't wear any scent more than 2 days in a row, so I'm not looking at it as an every day scent. A 3 day rotation might look something like, KC black, platinum egoiste, and higher energy. I'm a one spray man, never over-due...2 tops.

A friend of mine has Black and it smells amazing. I definetly reccomend it.

Dave - I've founf it to be strong and long lasting. I spary a little on and it lasts a long time. To where other people smell it and I can still smell it (which I usually can't with most colognes after they're on me).

Has anyone had any luck with this fragrance lasting a decent amount of time? I'm finding that it fades pretty quickly. Just curious, looking for some feedback. Thanks.

I have to agree with "Ryan's" assessment of this cologne. It's really not that big a deal. I also had a problem where after about an hour of usage...it wore off. Bvlgari Black (in my opinion) gets the nod in terms of wearing the black label proudly. Don't get me wrong, I did like the scent but after all the good things I heard about this cologne I expected more. Overall, I'd say it was a good cologne.

My man wears this stuff and it smells really good and very attractive!!!

This is another boring fresh type scent with no originality. It's too bad, I really love Mr Cole's clothing but he needs to dare to be more creative with his fragrances. If you want the best Black, its Bvlgari's.

Oh my God!!! This stuff rocks my world!! I am in lust with it! Guys, you can't miss with this one! You'll have women following you around like they are in heat!

I really don't understand the buzz on this one.I was very dissapointed. It smells average. Like something that has been around for quite a while. Not bad, but try Ferrari Black or the great Bulgari Black or Black Jeans by Versace for a good "Black" taste. The original Kenneth Cole is much better.

Reminds me of issey miyake, not bad though. In my opinion this would be better suited for warm weather wearing but I wouldn't buy it anyway.

My first impression was that it smells sorta like T by Tommy. Then it dries down really nice, somewhat to a sweeter floral like note, yet still fresh. It is very original and smells really attractive!

this cologne rocks! recommend buy!

CHICKS LOVE IT.

This is an AWESOME fragrance. Smells great, but WEAK. I was really dissapointed with the staying power. I would have kept it if it lasted halfway decent.
