Is Reaction for women a strong or a light fragrance?

It is light to moderate. The fruity opening is noticeable, then it settles into a soft musk-and-woods base that stays close to the skin.

How long does it last?

Most owners get a few hours before it fades, so plan on reapplying if you want it to carry through a full day.

Is it better for day or evening?

Day. The fresh fruit and florals suit work, weekends and warm weather more than a heavy evening scent.

What does it smell like after the opening?

The grapefruit, mandarin, kiwi and watermelon give way to lily of the valley, orchid, poppy and sweet pea, then vetiver, white amber and musk.

It is a safe pick for someone who likes fresh fruity-florals, since it is light and easy to wear. Skip it for anyone who prefers deep, spicy or gourmand scents.

Our take on the Kenneth Cole Reaction Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 Oz

Reaction for women is a fruity-floral eau de parfum built on pink grapefruit, mandarin, kiwi and watermelon over lily of the valley, white orchid, poppy and sweet pea, finishing on vetiver, white amber and musk. It is bright and sweet up front and settles into a soft woody-musky base. The 3.4 oz bottle is a large one for a designer scent, so it suits daily wear rather than occasional use. Against fruit-floral rivals it leans fresh and sunny rather than heavy or gourmand, and its fans treat it as an easy daytime signature.
