White for Her

WHITE MUSK & Amber-VANILLA-(Woods). Opens with a short & sweet burst mandarin, that deepens into a fruity-floral heart of orchid, iris & plum with powdery, floral, iris, violet, fruity, sweet & clean touches, all resting on a musky amber-vanilla base with near-woody tones. The combination of notes here, gives an impression of white-musk & amber-vanilla, that's more complex than vanilla-musk with near-woody facets. Over time, a faint but pleasant doll's head note is detectable. Average performance for a light wearing experience, with no sharp edges. Although this could be worn year-round, it performs better in warmer weather. Contrast to Twilight Woods Bath & Body Works: These are different, but there are similarities. Twilight Woods has a sweeter opening and more obviously vanilla-woods facet. Roughly equivalent performance. Contrast to Twilight Mist Body Fantasies: These are different, but again similarities. TM has a more forward candy-like note over vanilla-woods, with above average performance for a body spray, although White For Her KC outperforms and has a more forward white-musk facet. Contrast to Viva La Juicy Juicy Couture: These are different, but there are similarities with fluffy, sweet gourmand vibes. VLJ has more of a golden sweetness and is sweeter and less musky, while White For Her has a fluffy, softer, near-woody sweetness. Viva La Juicy outperforms. Overall: Beautiful, soft & sweet scent profile, with average performance. This is the perfect scent to wear before Labour Day. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

This is indeed affordable and delicious. I'm a little confused how this hasn't received more attention. I've seen the list of perfumes this reminds people of, but all I smell is Guess Seductive Noir through the heart of this perfume. I've also seen a lot of people struggle with longevity. This, as a fiber scent, will be lusciously detectable the next morning. With the heat of the skin, it tends to fade faster. And I have also found, that long after I can smell this on my skin, others receive it, and compliment its loveliness. Since the beginning is so similar to Seductive Noir, I almost feel deflated in reviewing notes and structures, and I quite prefer the dry down better that the scent itself, for those exact reasons. Vanilla, amber and musk take the lead, although the pyramid isn't featured here. Soft, powdery iris is the predominant floral note, supported gently with freesia and plum. Base notes offer orchid, lily of the valley and mandarin, imparting a sweet, slightly fruity soapiness. Other sites offer up further components, inferring there is a fruit basket of ingredients, and even vetiver and cotton candy in the base. Perhaps this is true. Still, these are the shining notes I noticed. White is worth the price, maybe even the redundancy, if like me, you have already purchased Guess. I enjoy wearing this when early morning rain seems to slow or soften the day's tempo; or late at night, when the challenging day wishes to consume a gentle night's sleep.

I bought this on July 4th 2015. My Husband and I went shopping in an outlet mall long before it was time to watch the fireworks. I hadn't anything particular in mind for myself, as he was on the hunt for Givenchy PI. The woman asked me my preferences, presented me with Kenneth Cole Black and White, with the bonus travel bag for a good discounted price. Tried both, Husband approved, we rang up. I've been wearing this on and off for 3 years now, and I feel like its a pretty unique scent. Its clean, sweet, but also alluring. The plum in the top adds a tasty sensual vibe, the Iris is very dominant to me in the middle, with the LOTV adding sweetness and the freesia and the orchid adding a bit of floral spice. The base is sweet with the vanilla and amber, but the iris still adds its depth. The musk keeps the sexy vibe going. I really love to wear this in the summer but I've also used it in other seasons. I get plenty of compliments when I wear this, and my Husband loves it! I noticed he and I both like Iris in a perfume, with a sweet amber vanilla base even better! I honestly don't smell this on anyone else, but I noticed a lot of gift sets around the holidays and they are making in a body spray as well so hopefully others are discovering this gem! Plus its been out a few years now, no need to journey to the depths of the outlet malls to get a good deal!

First I bought the body spray and loved it. There is a similarity to Jessica Simpson Signature. To me it's Kenneth Cole White's obnoxious cousin in comparison. I loved the body spray so much that I bought the edp. The edp is less similar to JS Signature I think because the amber comes through more in the edp. I usually don't like vanilla fragrances for the same reason I didn't drink tequila for 15 years. Overdo something and it just might haunt you forever. Vanilla Fields turns my stomach the same way Jose Cuervo does. Anyway, the vanilla is blended well with the sweet, powdery, amber, muskiness. It's not overdone and it doesn't overwhelm the other notes. White is slightly on the stronger side but not a bomb. I'm on hour four and the vanilla is shining through. I bought the edp without testing it. I had only tried the body spray. I'm very happy with it and glad I got the 100ml bottle.

It has cooled down from 98 to 76 degrees today and I love this on my skin! I do not get the viva la juicy vibe that some seem to dislike. I get the feeling of cuddling up wearing a loose super soft cashmere cardigan and snacking on soft sugar powdery sugar cookies maybe essenced with plum if you could make an extract out of it like vanilla. I was looking for affordable layering combinations to go with Versace Crystal Noir and other deeper plum perfumes as the tops notes in that one fade too quickly for me. This one I can easily reach for alone or paired. I am not sure if this would stand up in the harsh cold, but I will see soon! I wore this to the office as well where the AC is blaring and could smell myself all day which is rare for me. (I sprayed 8 sprays) If I get the craving for fuzzy coziness, for sure will choose this!

If the color white were a fragrance, this would be it. It is powdery, creamy, and comfy in the cleanest way. If you can picture Commodity Milk without the cinnamon note, then you have this. It smells so good. When I wear fragrances like KC White, I feel so confident and powerful, but it's in a Glinda the Good Witch kind of way. This is a safe blind buy because most people would smell this and not like it because it's not loud or unique, to be honest. It's beauty is in its silence. The longevity is moderate at most on a warm day, maybe longer on cooler days, but this isn't for those days. This was made for warmer weather, maybe Spring, or if you want to wear an inoffensive scent, or if you are like me and just find clean scents sexier than sexy scents.

This fragrance smells so good. I smelled the body mist at Kmart and immediately bought it and went online and ordered the eau de parfum version. I'm wearing the body mist now and surprisingly, it some good longevity to it for it to be a body mist which is why i was hesitant to buy to eau de parfum because the body mist will do me just fine but then again it won't because it smells so freaking awesome I'm going to blow through that whole 8 ounce bottle. But in my opinion, this fragrance is for any age group. A younger woman can pull this off and a older woman can pull this off anytime of the day and i think a guy can even wear this which is exactly why i bought it.

Got this in a swap and I LOVE it! It’s just the right amount of everything. Not too sweet, not heavy powder, not sharp. It’s a very clean linen, fresh cotton scent but in the sexiest way with musky vanilla and sensual florals peeping through! I will definitely be repurchasing this once my little bottle runs out! If you like clean sexy skin scents this one is a must-have! And although sillage is soft, the longevity is very good. Lasts a solid 5 hours on skin and eight on clothes. Scent 8/10 Sillage 5/10 Longevity 7/10

I love the soft powdery dry down. I like the perfume overall but it's definitely more youthful than I expected. The opening reminds me of Britney Spears fantasy (the original formulation) then comes the plum reminding me of midnight fantasy finally the powdered vanilla shines through in the end. I feel like this perfume transitions from a young girl to a young woman as the scent progresses and could be worn during the day and layered easily with something more sophisticated or elegant at night.

This is a perfect blend of sweet, powdery fragrance that is not overly sharp or pungent but is truly clean, fresh, and a kind of sexy one. The musky vanilla and sensuous flowers keep on peeping throughout the day. Longevity is eternal, I can smell it on me till the next shower easily. Notes in this are mandarin orange, plum, orchid, freesia, iris, lily-of-the-valley, vanilla, musk, and amber. This is a clean, sweet and softly comforting scent that is easy to wear is amazing too.

Super similar to twitlight woods omg its such a nostalgic scent for me😭 not exactly identical in my opinion this one smells tiny bit less sweet and less creamy. It smells like a sweet and creamy warm airy floral it has a little mature vibes but in the best way!! also it doesn’t project alot it’s a skin scent. It doesn’t smell soapy to me at all idk what people are talking about 🤷🏻♀️

What a hidden gem! This so warm and cozy. It's like a warm sweater on a cold day but not a cable-knit job, we're talking a super soft cashmere one. It's sweet vanillic-amber, florals are there but really not the star of the show. There's almost a whipped cream note to it. Just gorgeous. Projection is good, longevity is okay, about 3-4 hours.

I blind bought this and am so glad I did. I had heard one YouTuber, S H A N A - J, mention this one so there was at least one person saying it was beautiful. It smells EXACTLY like Yes I Am (original) to me. So gorgeous. An extremely linear fragrance but that is perfect since it smells amazing from the start.

I have the body mist and I love it. Right out of the bottle and liberally sprayed it's sweet on my skin. It doesn't have that alcohol smell like many body mists. This is really fantastic body mist. Today I layered it with Pink Sugar body lotion. It kicked the plum and vanilla up a notch.

I had the body mist a long time ago and really loved it, so I had to get this. It's smooth, sweet, soft, and a great everyday musky scent. It’s what I would imagine an angel smells like and gives me the feeling of a cloud or pillow. Really underrated and my first complimented perfume!

Kenneth cold white reaction is a very alluring scent it smells like vanilla mixed with plum and the floral aspect is very subtle yet noticeable and my man loves it very much it even layers well with other perfumes i own the body mist which was only 7.99 at Walgreen

I really love this. It’s a soft vanilla musk, great for the hot summer we are in, I have gotten compliments, although I feel it becomes a skin scent pretty quickly, so it must have decent sillage even if I think it’s faded. I will be getting a back up bottle.

I love this fragrance, I just hate that it doesn’t last worth shit. To me, it’s a perfect daily fragrance and the powdery floral aspect of it makes it very likable and non-offensive. If this lasted worth a damn, it would be absolutely my top day to day pick.

I don't want to gatekeep this fragrance as it's so good and I hope it's not discontinued. Powdery, but more on the dry side than sweet, musky and well blended. Such a hidden gem.

I love this so so much!! When I want a clean, fresh, slightly powdery and creamy fragrance, I throw this cheapie gem on!! Perfect for the warmer weather, or at bedtime😻

I was definitely a twilight woods girly growing up... and this is everything I needed it to be! I am obsessed

It's light and very feminine. I love this perfume.

Sooo... I have a confession to make. Being a serious collector I decided to grab this one as I love Kenneth Cole scents. The confession isn’t about the purchase, it’s about the fact that I’m a man and I took the risk. Not a big deal considering women buy plenty of male scents because they can respect the perfumer or the notes. I have to keep it 100% here, this scent, it’s actually not that bad. I love powdery/laundry type scents, so after looking at the notes, and reading some of the reviews I decided to buy it. The price was right, $25 bucks for a 100ml. I would say it’s unisex as I’ve smelled many Zara men type scents that smell similar, but it’s definitely geared more for women. What I can appreciate in this is the vanilla, orange, plum, and musk. It’s reminds me of Carrera Jeans 770 Original Donna by Carrera, but less obnoxious and a little less overbearing. There is a flower in here that’s a little overbearing in the mid, but not in the opening and in the dry down. A reviewer a few down below mine said that this smelled of downy fabric sheets, they are 90% correct, and to be honest that’s good enough for me. I’d like to also mention that on my skin this scent changes drastically and not for the better. So I will stick with a few quick sprays on my clothes if I’m ever looking to smell extra fresh. Would I buy this again? No. Do I appreciate my blind buy for what this is? Absolutely. If any woman is looking for a more masculine version of this that won’t break the bank, try Armafs Hunter Men. Almost the same scent, just a little more masculine. I’ll give this a solid 8/10 and encourage anyone who likes an aromatic/powdery vanilla type scent to give this a try. Once this calms down a bit the dry down is actually quite beautiful. No regrets.

I bought this while out of town, in late March. It was a total mistake, lol! I meant to purchase Kenneth Cole Black for Her. I have the body mist and wanted the matching EDP because Black is so sexy and lovely. I was so disappointed when I got home and realized my mistake. Over the last month or so, I have picked it up--numerous times. I never wore it though. Every time I sprayed it into the cap--I thought it smelled disgusting! Today, I said what the hell, and sprayed it all over! Ughhhh! The initial opening was nothing but chemicals and musk! Instantly, I started thinking: "Who can I give this to, if my daughter doesn't like it?" But then, the dry down crept in on me, lol. I actually like how White dries down. It is kinda sexy and distinguished. Perfect for spring weather. My nose only picks up amber and musk from the notes listed above. To me, this means that White is blended quite well. It has a funky (in a good way) animalic and lactonic feel--making it ultra-creamy! It has been 5 hours since my last spray, but it is still quite present. Also, it has me wrapped in a lovely scent bubble with great silage. What a pleasant surprise! Ladies, please allow your fragrances to dry down before you decide whether or not they are worthwhile in your collection. Overall, White is a great addition to my collection. Not a safe blind buy, but if you are a patient woman, give it a try. You'll find that the dry down is quite nice!

Smells pretty, clean, mildly sweet. It's a smooth, creamy fragrance. In the comments I read that it smells sharp, but I'm not getting that at all. On my skin I'm picking up on the vanilla/amber/woods and musk. It stays close to the skin, but I also didn't overspray. One time I over sprayed and got a couple of compliments so I'm assuming this can project if you go heavy on the sprays. I am at work today and according to policy they mentioned a no perfume environment. I just can't go to work wearing nothing, so I figured if I lightly spray this perfume, it could work and so far, it's great! No complaints from co-workers, yet I can still sit at my desk and smell my scent bubble. This could also, great to run errands or basically an everyday signature fragrance. Update: If there's one thing, I could change would be the longevity. Even after a mid-day re-spray it just wasn't lasting on my skin.

I own the body mist which was a pretty scent that was light in fragrance. Then at the store I seen the perfume and decided to see if it was stronger for I really like the scent of the mist. Dang was I happy I brought it for it is a strong scent and long lasting. It starts out with a lovely vanilla, amber, white floral scent which is stunning in beauty. Not sure why it's took me so long to find this perfume and now so happy I have. I did notice the plum scent and then the lily of the valley, mostly to me it is a beautiful white floral scent with a touch of sweetness. I love it power, be careful not to over spray. It's a very good value for a couple of sprays will last all day! Working great in this colder weather, day or night , jeans or a dress, I love it! If you like floral perfumes go for it, it was a lovely blind buy for me!!! ($29 for a 3.4 oz bottle)

The fragrance features plum, mandarin orange, freesia, orchid, lily-of-the-valley, iris, musk, vanilla and amber. I had to see what notes were listed because I could not easily compare this fragrance to any other that I have ever tried. Not clearly floral, or aquatic, nor gourmand although there is a slightly sweet vanilla aroma occasionally wafting. Sweet, clean and softly comforting, this scent is as appealing as a favorite sweater. I have worn this easily while ill, when otherwise I would have been fragrance free. My only complaint is that this is a skin scent with extremely poor longevity, unless it's just my skin eating it up. It REALLY IS that yummy! Rating: 🍒🍒🍒🍒

Purchased both the body mist and the perfume from Ross for less than $20 This is my review of the body mist since I haven't opened the perfume yet. I will update my review once I open it. This is a wonderful vanilla amber scent. Slightly sweet and with a light hint of floral. This fragrance is light and i used 6 sprays on my skin. Lasted about 4 hours and begins and ends close to the skin. I like it and most definitely would buy again. edit: I opened the perfume and wore it on one wrist and the fragrance mist on the other. I see no difference between the two in regards to scent, notes, sillage, or longevity.

Powdery, soft, and warm fragrance. Very cozy, makes me feel like I'm warm indoors wrapped in a cashmere throw on a fall afternoon as a soft rain falls outside. Pretty versatile, not overbearing at all, it's a skin scent. Safe for office use but a fine option for nighttime as well. Vanilla and amber are most noticeable to me. My one complaint being absolutely no longevity, even though I have the edp. Can't smell it at all after an hour or two, unless I bring my wrist up to my nose, and then I think it's only because I know it's there. Pity, but for the price reapplication isn't prohibitive :)

This is a little sharp at first. Almost like a powdery citrus. Then it dries down into a pleasant ambery musk. It’s light and airy which initially made me feel like it was a summer scent, however once I smelled the base notes, I realized this could be perfect for an everyday all season scent. It’s slightly soapy, actually a bit hairspray like in the opening but in a pleasant way. I like it, I’d consider it an easy reach for daytime use. It sits pretty close to skin and doesn’t have a huge longevity so it would be perfect to add your evening fragrance later in the day!

Kenneth Cole White is soft, whispery, vanilla and subtle feminine florals. The bottle is a good visual representation of the scent, actually. It stays close, and is feminine. I didn't smell any citrus, though, which is a listed note. Every time I smelled my wrist, I thought, hmmmm... nice, pretty vanilla. If you are looking for a light, pleasant vanilla type scent with some musk that won't offend anyone, try it out. Longevity was pretty good, about 5 hrs. Strikes me as a safe scent for work also!

Smells like anyone for any occasion can wear this. I am not like most where I can pick up notes, but instead what I do and how I gauge perfume is: what is my outfit, my mood, the occasion, etc. I am a visual person so I have to close my eyes and smell and that is when it tells me when to wear and which one of my many ones to wear. So this one here, is a universe one, I usually wear this one to bed or my sheets. Pleasant, non offensive for sure. Good buy in my opinion

This smells so good. Soft, sexy & sweet. I get amber, iris, musk & a little twist of citrus. I see how someone could relate Jessica Simpsons signature to this but that is far more generic smelling & has such poor performance. White has decent longevity & sillage, 6 hours and still going right now. White stands out more than the other sweet soft scents, I think its that twist of orange just livens it up. I will rebuy this when I run out.

This is very ambery and rosy on my skin. I wish I got more of the fruity notes on my skin and less rose. It smells more of a vintage red floral rather than white floral as the name would imply. It has very good staying power and sillage. I have a deluxe sample bottle that I will continue to use, but I'm not sure I love it enough to repurchase it in a larger size when this is through.

It's definitely a vanilla perfume to my nose but it has a distinctive nutty note, I don't know where it might come from. Maybe the combination of plum and iris? Projection is very intimate but longevity was good on me, not less than 6 hours. In general, it sounds modern and discreet. I guess I could by this one to refill my vanilla perfumes "stock" after I finish Laura Ashley.

Kenneth Cole White opens up very musky, very floral, and very perfumey. The opening reminds me of how Jovan Musk opens up, but it only remains similar for a very short time. This starts out quite loud and strong but settles down quickly into a sweet vanilla and clean musk blend, and remains a skin scent for about 4 or 5 hours before fading away.

A light powdery vanilla with floral backdrop. It's a nice jack of all trades kind of vanilla. It doesn't exactly stand out as unique by any means, but it's an easy, comforting, airy frag for any time and place. A spray under each ear or on the shoulders, you'll catch whiffs all day. It's especially nice as a bedtime fragrance.

Used to wear this as a special occasion "clean and sophisticated" perfume. Kind of shocked at how prominent people think the vanilla is? I'm not a huge vanilla fan with my perfumes and this does not read as gourmand to my nose at all. For me, it's VERY heavy on white musk and smells straight up soapy, which I really like!

A blind buy at a drugstore for 20can dollars..simply based on the fact that I love KC Black...even though I knew it would not be the same. I'm very happy with it! For me, it's a powdery vanilla white flower combo that works in a lovely unison. Long lasting just like the Black.

If you love Twilight Woods, you’ll love this. I can detect no difference between them. I have to say I never realized that viva la juicy and twilight woods were so similar, until reading these reviews. KC White is similar to VLJ, and a close dupe of TW.

I knew of this perfume through Ksenja (A Perfume-Youtuber) and I'm glad I got it! It smells really unique and inoffensive. The powderiness really shines here. I don't get Viva La Juicy at all either.

It's certainly very different from Black! Where Black is flowery, White is powdery and very strong on the vanilla. Black is fresh and punchy, while White is soft and much sweeter. I prefer the Black.

I used to wear this all the time in high school, it is sweet vanilla yet floral and soapy. I can understand why it is still pretty mass-appealing for the scent profile and the price point.

Smells like a sooped up downy. No complaints if you didn't wash your clothes spray this on and TADAA! you smell like a fresh batch a clean clothes.

on my skin this is a floral vanilla... soft pretty and feminine. It gives me the feeling of being sweet and clean.

This is cozy clean linens, sweet soft skin smell

This fragrance confuses me, because the most of the notes aren't really in keeping with the actual profile of this. Yet, the name "White" is truly congruent with the theme here - it smells starkly white. I feel like this is a little stiff in tone, and almost smells like the fragrance equivalent if starched sheets. I don't get much vanilla honestly, and it smells like something from the 90s in that regard (that's not a bad thing). I don't smell any amber here, but it is certainly a clean white musk and iris. It's not nearly as powdery as something like Kenzo Flower, if you're familiar with that, but it's definitely a little powdery. "Freesia" makes sense, there's white florals here for sure. Overall, this is a fragrance that I'd definitely by texture than by notes...it's cool, crisp, starched, clean and stiffly white. I don't dislike it, but I feel 0 inspiration to own it myself. Also, I don't think it smells like Twilight Woods, which I prefer to this.

Bought this after asking the worker what is something you never see people buy. She went to this bottle and said she loves it but everyone always goes for the black version. It’s fine, pretty and boring. Which was exactly what I was looking for to wear to work. Reminds me of something my mom might have worn while spending time with me during her days off when I was a kid.

Finally got to smell this at a Marshalls after reading and hearing good reviews. I sprayed it in the box and thought it smelled nice light and powdery. So i sprayed it on my wrist. At first it was ok but not amazing. A very generic smell to me. Not sure which note(s) is the culprit but the dry down on my skin smelled very synthetic and plasticy. Won’t be purchasing.

i really hate how susceptible i am to buying perfumes i was when i was younger, i wear this perfume a lot at work since I work in restaurant so it masks pretty well in there would I ever wear this willingly? no, not at all if anything I lowkey hate it but its tolerable.
