Kenneth Cole

Kenneth Cole, a distinguished New York designer, is revered for his innovative creations and has garnered a substantial following due to his unique and original products. Born in 1954, Cole is relatively young, allowing him to understand and cater to the lifestyle aspirations of his target audience. Launching his first shoe collection in 1982, Kenneth Cole's journey began, drawing inspiration from his father, who was also in the shoe business. With vibrant colors and daring designs, his initial shoe line captured attention. Over time, Kenneth Cole Productions, Inc. expanded its offerings to include clothing, footwear, accessories like bags, watches, sunglasses, and distinctive fragrances for both men and women. Each fragrance is crafted to be fresh, dynamic, and distinctive, steering clear of generic scent profiles or collections. For example, "Mankind" features a blend of tarragon, pineapple, pears, and sandalwood, while "Black Bold" embodies the essence of New York with notes of lotus, incense, and water mint. The "Vintage Black" fragrance exudes confidence with hints of green lime, oakwood, and tequila. Kenneth Cole's lifestyle fragrances make excellent gifts, with various sets available to cater to different preferences. These sets typically include three diverse products, such as the basic set with deodorant, shower gel, and aftershave, the "Reaction" set comprising balm, deodorant, and perfume, or the exclusive set featuring "Mankind" along with a shoe care kit. Kenneth Cole's fragrances go beyond offering a signature scent; they are an embodiment of the enchanting and vibrant city lifestyle, resonating with fans of the label worldwide, not limited to just New York City.
