Kiton Men - thoughts?

I blind bought this after watching Coachrob's review. Initially wasnt impressed, but have given it a few wears and it's definitely a grower. Smells slightly 'detergenty' but that aside it's really quite nice. It's not a frag I've seen much discussion on. Anybody own/like/dislike?

Thanks

I have a sample. It's a decent fragrance but nothing more IMO.

Had this one for about a year. Nice frag. Can be worn year round. Wear this one with a suit and tie.

It is a very nice but formal scent. I may have to revisit this in the near future.

kinda casual/green. you don't need a suit and tie. rich but also unimpressive. price does not fit the scent..

It's a solid fragrance and I enjoy the herbal aspects.

Sampled both the original and Kiton Black. Both were just OK for me.

Lots of violet. Too much for me, so I found it kind of annoying. A bit too sharp, a bit too green. For me.

A very classy green fragrance. The mace makes it interesting.

There used to be more discussion of this back several years ago. I had a bottle, but sold it as I found it to have similarities to GIT (except more floral) and a couple of others I don't recall. In the end, GIT was something I reached for more often. Likewise, Kiton Napoli in the blue bottle was reminiscent of Allure and Lalique Faune. Kiton Black was the only one I found unique enough to keep, but they're all well done scents.

That's what you thought 8 years a go too, Renato. Pretty cool. I appreciate your consistency.

Thanks, and there is an extra reason for this.
One can be loud and brash, or relatively subtle and effective.
Kiton was my secret weapon - resulting in marital bliss.
Cheers,
Renato

This is the epitome, to me, of a fragrance I "kind of like." I could wear it and be happy, but it never ascended the ranks of the bottle-worthy.

I always thought of it as a formal coat-and-tie scent, but I imagine that may be due to associating it with Kiton clothes.
