Few perfumers reach for carrot seed, and fewer still put it up top the way Kenneth Cole Perfume does, pink peony and lemon joining it for a bright floral lift underpinned by something earthy and rooty. Lily of the valley, jasmine, violet and cyclamen shape a heart that is clean, green and softly powdery. Musk, heliotrope, ambrette and sandalwood finish it warm and gently almondy, the ambrette adding a natural musk that sits close to skin. Carrot seed smells nothing like the vegetable and a great deal like iris, giving the composition a cool, slightly damp elegance that lifts it clear of the standard department store floral. Kenneth Cole Perfume, a floral Eau de Parfum, is built for spring and summer daytime hours.
