Copper Black

Copper Black by Kenneth Cole is a warm, boozy, and slightly smoky fragrance with a dominant core of vanilla, cardamom, guaiac wood, and leather. It opens with a crisp apple and ginger note, followed by a characteristically strong, spiced bourbon undertone that feels both refined and youthful. The scent evolves into a smooth, soft vanilla and woody base, with leather adding depth and animalic warmth. While it lacks bold projection or extreme longevity, it lingers subtly around the skin for several hours — often transitioning into a personal, intimate scent after the first hour. Its sillage stays moderate to intimate, making it best suited for close proximity. It’s particularly well-suited for cool evenings, autumn or winter wear, and intimate settings like dinner dates or late-night outings. The fragrance strongly evokes a confident, modern urban energy — young, self-assured, and effortlessly stylish — akin to a stylish night out in a metropolitan city. It’s especially praised for its affordability and distinctiveness among similar scents like Montblanc Legend Night or Kenneth Cole’s own Black line.
