Kenneth Cole Copper Black is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020. Copper Black opens with Petitgrain, Ginger, and Apple, settles into a heart of Whisky, Leather, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Guaiac Wood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Kenneth Cole's Copper Black carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A universally loved scent profile but a divisive performer. If you're willing to overspray, this boozy vanilla number delivers an intimate, warm experience, though it might not last past lunch.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

While the warm, boozy vanilla scent is perfect for dates and casual outings, its poor projection and longevity mean it won't overwhelm an office, despite being unsuitable for formal events or sport. Many reviewers highlight its 'cuddle scent' quality, making it ideal for intimate settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Copper Black opens with a crisp apple note, quickly spiced by ginger and the green nuance of petitgrain. The heart introduces a rich leather accord, mingling with the warmth of cardamom and a smooth, boozy whisky. As it settles, guaiac wood provides a smoky, woody depth, underpinned by the creamy sweetness of tonka bean and vanilla, creating a comforting and slightly mysterious dry-down.
