Frequently Asked Questions about Kiton Men by Kiton
What does Kiton Men by Kiton smell like?
Kiton Men by Kiton features top notes of Bergamot, Lemon, Pineapple, and Sage, middle notes of Lily-of-the-Valley and Violet, and base notes of Cedarwood, Musk, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean.
I've been wanting to sample this one for a long time and I finally managed to find it in Belgium recently, as I've never seen it in the UK. Kiton Men is a combination of some of my favourite elements coming together to make quite an aloof fragrance. I say that because I find it to be a mixture of fresh fruit and musk with violets and a woody base. Chypre is a good description for sure and I think the composition is perfectly balanced to accommodate for lots of notes which come together well to create a memorable fragrance. So Kiton Men impressed me, very nearly to the point of purchase but not quite. I wish I'd have got my hands on this in the 90's because I would've definitely rocked it. Projection and longevity were average . Update: Just felt I needed to update this review after finally finding a store which stocks this in the UK, and having an opportunity to sample it more readily. It's a very classy affair and I still stick to much of what I said above, however I have neglected to mention the animal power of musk in the opening 20 mins or so. It works really well with that fruity pineapple note makes this fragrance more serious than your average playful fruity/citrus/musk.
