Kiton Kiton Men is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1996. Kiton Men opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Pineapple, and Sage, settles into a heart of Violet and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Kiton's Kiton Men carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive scent for the ages, Kiton Men is either a forgotten masterpiece or an overrated mess. While some found it a unique classic, others found it generic and dated, often with a 'gasoline' note. Its discontinuation has only fuelled the legend and the debate.

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.

Casual Formal

Its moderate projection and clean, slightly fresh character make it a strong contender for office wear, as noted by several reviewers. The sophisticated and subtle nature, with only moderate longevity, limits its impact on dates and formal events.
