Mankind

by Claude Dir

Kenneth Cole Mankind is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Claude Dir. The fragrance opens with Pineapple, Ginger, Cardamom, and Tarragon, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Cedar, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Musk, and Tonka Bean.

Our verdict on Mankind: Favourite

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.

Its fresh, clean, and woody profile, combined with moderate longevity and sillage, makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the gym. It's often recommended for office use due to its non-offensive nature, and several users find it appropriate for dates while acknowledging its lack of uniqueness for formal settings.

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.
