It seems a bit pointless to review when it's been discontinued, but I see people getting their hands on discontinued stuff online and via swaps all the time so perhaps it could still be helpful to...

It does seem odd to rate perfume--it's so subjective. Black does not suit me. But more objectively, it definitely does not suit its name. The first word that comes to mind for me is CLEAN. It...

Smells like it a scented body powder. Definitely not sexy.

This is my holy grail fragrance but has been discontinued why do they discontinue such successful lines. Whenever I wore this I always got compliments from men and women and there isn't anything...

This is my new favorite perfume for spring! Let me start by saying I'm Not typically a fan of florals at all! This one starts out with jasmine and hyacinth on me, I've always adored the scent of...

First impression: gardenia and laundry detergent. Soft enough for work. With a name like Black, I was expecting patchouli or spices or even stronger sandalwood. Not soft floral. If you're a Fracas...

For the name and the bottle, I expected something rich and heady and sensual. I got...weak, linear, watery jasmine. That's all: unimpressive pale jasmine. None of the rich white velvety beauty of...

hmmmm....tuberose....a lot of tuberose...not what I expected from a scent called "Black". I expected something more exotic. The opening on this was a blast of citrus. Then it evolved into a...

This is an impressive tuberose-based white floral. I don't know where the title 'Black' originated, but this isn't a black, green, or red fragrance; this is a straight-up white scent. To my nose...

Ok, first off, I am NOT a floral girl. I like patchouli, amber, sandalwood, and musk...dark, earthy scents that evoke ancient cities and ruined temples and, well, head shops! The closest I've ever...

I mostly smell gardenia in this. Ok I love the smell of gardenias. And my to favourites are Kai (like) and monyette paris (adore). But this smells very artificial to my nose, VERY sharp and the...

I agree with previous reviewers who say there is nothing "black" about this fragrance. To me, Kenneth Cole Black is a pure, heavy, sweet floral. Very sweet in the opening and then turns into a...

Decieiving name, deceiving bottle:-) There's nothing black in here, just flowers, white flowers... And maybe some amber and sandalwood in drydown. Anyway, not so plain as most of the white...

I love this scent. It is perfect for everyday into nighttime. It doesn't get powdery on me, like lots of scents can. I love carnation and florals and this just fits the bill. Nice clean packaging,...

I have loved Kenneth Cole's Black since the moment I first smelt it. Only problem is the scent does not last long...I like an all day wear perfume.
