Black was created on the brand's 20th anniversary. Black is based on a gorgeous composition of white flowers which in this fragrance shows its real dark character, as it is living the night life while acting innocent in the daytime. These flowers sound intensive, luscious and passionate, even lusty.

The composition opens with violet and citrus. Shortly the white flowers come to the scene and unrivalledly rule the heart of the fragrance: jasmine, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley, magnolia, tuberose, hyacinth, lotus and iris. The comfortable and warm notes of sandalwood, musk and amber tame the ecstatic flowers. The fragrance was created in 2004 by Marie Amandine.

I have to say that I really, really like Kenneth Cole Black for Women. The opening notes are floral, but not in the way you'd typically expect. I did not find the florals overly done or sweet. I found that the fragrance develops around the ylang-ylang, white flowers, hyacinth, and lotus. Simply beautiful.

There is a very slight white musk base, but it is solid and warm- it doesn't have that synthetic musk undertone to it. There is also a slightly woody undertone as well, but that brings the whole scent together.

The only downside is that on average, it lasts only around 4 hours and it wears very close to the skin. It reminds me of a feminized version of a really well done men's cologne. It's classy, smart, and sophisticated. I plan to buy more when I run out.

This scent is blah. I do not understand what is so special about it. As someone else said this is only tuberose and white flowers and makes my nose itch. Can not understand why it would be written about as urban or intensive. It is completely girly and floral. A huge disappointment.

i normally detest hyacinth and ylang-ylang, both of which are notes in this perfume. however, i actually quite liked this scent...not enough to buy it, as i'm not a huge fan of strong florals, but it left me pleasantly surprised. it's vibrant & strong, perfect for someone who loves floral perfumes but doesn't want to smell old/powdery.

This is similar to seductive goddess perfume but black has a tad bit of a flower scent that the other does not. Also a strong weird note that I detest and I returned my bottle promptly because I can't tolerate these types of smells.

very nice bottle, but i'm glad only bought the 15ml one! smells dark in that way like an old aunt smells in her darkened/dimmed old-fashioned living room full of junk. a very old-fashioned, heavy flower scent. but maybe i don't like it because i'm really not a fan of musc...

I wish there were more notes that were obvious when smelling Black Kenneth Cole. As hard as I try, everytime I only smell tuberose and white flowers. I was even going to buy it to wear and try to sniff out the other notes. It would be great for church or buisness.

This is the only Kenneth Cole I liked so far. Still musing on buying. It is a little bit crazy fragrance! makes you want to do something mischevious no matter where you wear it.The beginning has a very pretty orange,then a burst of flowers - that`s when the fun begins - and the musky and soft base calms it down a little bit, yet you still can feel those "butterflies" flying about.
Think Madonna in Vogue :)Black and white but so vivid.

I like this fragrance; it's long lasting, and urban, night-on-the-town feminine and elegant. And surprise, versatile,too; you can even wear during the daytime, or to the office, if you use the body lotion only.

But a word of advice -- use up this perfume before six months or so; my experience is that the fragrance changes to a musky alcohol mix after that.

i expected sg dark and sexy because of the bottle, and the name, but it was a flat flowery scent, sorry, maybe some like this and probably my disappointment was which made me dislike this fregrance so much, but i really didnt like it, it was very usual, and oldfashiionedly flowery, like an easter perfume

Strong floral fragrance. Very intensive for hours, but it's not bad. I like long lasting scents. Opens with jasmine and tuberose on my skin. After a day it will be powdery and light floral. Very interesting parfume.

Too flowery for this black bottle. It's one of those cases when the bottle does not match the fragrance that's in it.I was expecting a heavier smokey scent when I first saw this bottle. And when i smelled it, very feminine flowery scent reached my nose. It was a big disappointment...

Like this one quite well...lots of compliments with it.

The bottle doesn't match the content which is very floral, feminine and lovely.

Nice and feminine. Starts of with sweet floral notes, dries down to a soft floral musk

design 5/5, you wonder what does it have to do with such a floral fragrance, but it is a definetely interesting bottle. :)

Yes, I like it too. It is very sharp and intensive at the beginning, but becomes milder very quickly.
I like the design of the bottle too ;o)

vrey floral and very intriguing. it is very intensive floral composition for quite some time, and for some time i could not decide whether i liked it or not, but yes, after some time the scent becomes softer, vry nice and feminine, with a loong trace. after eight hours i can still smell it.
