About this item
Papyrus rests in the drydown of Kenneth Cole Signature Cologne, dry, papery and rarely encountered, violet, grapefruit, orange, pimento and cardamom handing the top a bright, spiced character, the pimento adding heat to the citrus straight away. Water lily and orris root hold the core in just two materials, cool and powdery, a deliberate pause between the spice above and below. Papyrus, guaiac wood, spices, amber and patchouli leave it dry, smoky and warm. Twelve materials, and the result is genuinely versatile rather than merely inoffensive. That papyrus is what gives the drydown its particular texture, arid rather than resinous, and it makes the fragrance work in nearly every setting. Kenneth Cole Signature Cologne is a woody spicy Eau de Toilette for autumn and winter wear, nothing complicated about it.
