What does Connected - Kenneth Cole Reaction smell like?

It opens with violet leaf, apple, Brazilian mandarin orange and persimmon, giving a lightly fruity freshness. The heart brings lemon, cardamom and clary sage, adding a spicy, slightly green coolness. The base settles on tobacco, driftwood, moss and mahogany wood, and an aquatic, synthetic feel runs through the whole scent.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak. Most voters pick spring and summer, while winter trails far behind. It suits leisure, office and daytime wear far more than nights out. Jimmy Choo Man Ice and Montblanc Legend Red have a close profile.
