Below is our short but detailed Kenneth cole reaction cologne review.
How does Kenneth Cole Reaction smell?
If you love your summer colognes to be a fruit bomb, you’re in luck.
The reaction for Men starts with top notes of:
- cantaloupe
- green apple
- watermelon
- lemon
- lime
Patchouli and lily of the valley emerge in the heart notes with sandalwood and musk base notes balance it out.
Impressions
Reaction EDT is a very youthful, sweet scent. I found the watermelon and melon dominated the scent.
After the top notes wore off (an hour or so), the rest of the notes became more of a skin scent.
That said, while not exactly original, it is a light and refreshing crowd-pleaser. Expect lots of compliments.
Who Should Buy It?
I would recommend Reaction EDT by Kenneth Cole for younger men who like the sweet, playfulness of the fragrance.
It’s perfect for casual, summer-time events and would be a good cologne to have in your collection for a hot summer day when you want a refreshing scent boost.
The reaction is also quite affordable so even a blind buy won’t break the bank.
One note of caution: it doesn’t last long or project well beyond the top notes so you may find yourself needing to reapply throughout the day.
