Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kenneth Cole Vintage Black EDT
Seriously polarising: some people absolutely adore this uplifting lime bomb, while others find it a synthetic headache in a bottle. Despite its name, there's nothing 'vintage' or 'black' about this fresh, citrus-heavy scent. A cheapie that punches above its weight for some.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Cool Play EDT
Cool Play brings a lively mix of fresh and spicy notes, making it ideal for casual settings and warmer weather.

Kenneth Cole Vintage Black

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, citrusy profile makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in warmer weather, and some enjoy it for day-to-day office use. However, its often-criticised performance means it's not the best choice for events requiring strong, long-lasting projection.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Cool Play is versatile enough for casual and date settings due to its fresh and spicy nature, but its moderate projection makes it appropriate for office and sporty activities.
