A closer look at Kenneth Cole Black Bold EDP
Black Bold EDP comes from Kenneth Cole. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Black Bold price per bottle size
The usual price in Europe is about €42. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Versace Eros but less than Armaf Club De Nuit Iconic and Chanel Bleu De Chanel.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Armaf Club De Nuit Iconic and Chanel Bleu De Chanel last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like nutmeg and patchouli are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Versace Eros spreads further.
