Kenneth Cole Mankind is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Claude Dir. Mankind opens with Cardamom, Ginger, Pineapple, and Tarragon, settles into a heart of Cedar, Vetiver, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Kenneth Cole's Mankind carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Mankind is a cheap and cheerful crowd-pleaser for those who like a mass-appealing fresh, woody scent, but it won't impress anyone seeking originality. Many point to similarities with YSL L'Homme and Abercrombie Fierce, making it a safe choice with acceptable performance, especially for the price.

About

Opens with an energetic burst of juicy pineapple, brightened by spicy ginger and cardamom, with a subtle herbal edge from tarragon. It quickly transitions into a warm, inviting heart of cedar and vetiver, spiced up with cinnamon. The dry-down settles into a smooth, musky blend of sandalwood and oakmoss, softened by creamy tonka bean, leaving a clean, woody trail.
