Reaction

by Frank Voelkl

Kenneth Cole Reaction is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Frank Voelkl. The fragrance opens with Apple, Melon, Watermelon, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Musk.

Our verdict on Reaction: Favourite

KC Reaction is a crowd-pleasing summer scent that's loved for its delicious fruity aroma but widely panned for its appalling longevity. If you can overlook the poor performance, it's a cheap and cheerful freshie that'll bag you compliments, especially if you're under 25.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, light and inoffensive nature makes it suitable for office wear, but its poor longevity necessitates frequent reapplication. The fruity and casual profile, combined with its weakness, makes it perfect for casual outings and sports, where a subtle scent is often preferred.

About

Start your engines with a vibrant splash of juicy watermelon, crisp green apple, and bright citrus. The initial burst is pure summer bliss, a sweet aquatic fantasy that’s uplifting and invigorating. As it settles, a clean lily of the valley emerges, softened by a hint of earthy patchouli, providing a subtle green depth. The base mellows into a gentle, understated musk and creamy sandalwood, lingering close to the skin. It’s a fresh, fruity concoction that captures the essence of a carefree summer day.
