I’m honestly shocked everyone keeps saying this is the same as the original Michael Kors perfume with the brownish/yellowish juice.
….It is not.
Just because they are both white florals does not mean the are the same. And they do NOT smell the same.
The farthest I can go with it…is that you can tell they’re both white florals and most can probably even tell they’re both from Michael Kors’ fragrance line. This however, does NOT smell like a dupe of it.
The difference in the two is very much represented in the packaging / color of the bottles.
The original is a very creamy, dense, richer white floral. Whereas Michael Kors White is a very “linen” white floral. The tuberose also smells much more intense in the original. Think of…this one being similar to the original but being called “Michael Kors White Cotton.” Or something to that effect.
It smells good…and the projection is NO JOKE! This easilyyyy projects 5 feet, if not 6-7 feet. If pressed however…I’d have to say that I’d choose the original over this one any day. This one however is still pleasant.
Scent Itself – 7.5/10
Projection – 9/10
Longevity – About 8 hours. This isn’t a shy perfume. But also not going to suffocate anyone (unless oversprayed. Use 4-5 sprays MAX!)
Overall Score – 8/10
I voted above for this one with a like. It’s definitely pleasant. A definite like. Probably not one that I will repurchase after my 1 ounce bottle is gone. But it smells good and is a very nice choice for summer! A great jeans / white T shirt fragrance for casual outings with friends or picnics. This one screams “daytime perfume.” Thumbs up. Might not be signature scent worthy in my book but it’s definitely worth a try! Thumbs up Michael Kors!

I am not usually a big fan of florals. I say usually because this one… OMG! It is stunning. I finally understand the word creamy when used to describe floral perfumes. This is sweet creamy feminine fresh and gorgeous! I am so glad I bought this. This is changed my thought about floral perfumes. I love it!

So far, I like it! Attractive and feminine, also VERY fresh and young, contrasting with the classic/conservative block-shaped design of the plain White bottle. I sprayed it before bed. All I could smell at that time was the fresh floral “green” scents. But then in the next morning the tuberose was really the main note, very gentle and elegant to my nose. LOVE the dry down. Because of this fragrance, I learn to appreciate floral scents more.

Heady white floral full of tuberose and hint of aldehydes. This is basically a lighter version of the original so if you like that, go for it. If you already have original MK, skip it, because its almost identical

I am ready to swap it is not my type of perfume write if you are interested people who live in Europe please
Usadway – :
Swapping 100ml bottle, about 90% full. Please PM if interested.
I was so in love with this when I first got it, about a year ago. One day i sprayed it on and it just made me sick. Haven’t used it ever since! It’s too heavy now for me. Don’t like it anymore.
slipknot – :
This needs to come back- a staple/ not a limited edition. I will truly be sad when I can no longer get this!!
Vensorsedrony18 – :
This is white floral heaven.
Similar to original but this is soapier
Still sweet and creamy though
Classier than the original imo because it smells so fresh in a sharp way (aldehydes)
I’m not sure about sillage because I only sprayed it on a card but the smell is still there strongly a day later.

I like it because I love white florals, but it doesn’t last on me, so I don’t wear it often. Pretty before it disappears though.
karen) – :
It is synthentic to me.
BushAntilogic – :
I recently had the chance to test it from my sister’s bottle and i have to admit this is white floral heaven.
Its creaminness and voluptouness mesmerizes you immediately after sprayed. Even though big white florals is not my cup of tea, i surely suggest it for those who love whites like my sister who loves it!
Vbravo – :
I had tried this on a tester strip a couple of times before and thought it was nice but nothing extraordinary. Today I tried it on my skin, and OMG, it’s incredible. In addition to the original Michael Kors, it reminds me of 212 Carolina Herrera, which took me a while to figure out, but it’s like a perfect blend of both perfumes. If you normally go for white florals, I highly recommend trying this on your skin.

I absolutely love this scent! It’s so feminine and white, (so it’s actually exactly what you would expect it to be).
After a while you are going to get the hint (bit more than a hint) of green, what I personally really love. So it’s a interesting, well-layered scent!
Love love love this one!

I have never tried a Michael Kors fragrance, except for Amber. I could take or leave that one. I personally like this one. I have never tried the original Kors, so if this smells like the original, I would have liked that one too. So that being said, I will not be trying the original, unless I can’t find this one. This is not a loud fragrance. The tuberose calms down quite a bit leaving a lovely trail behind. I have Fracas and don’t wear it often because it gets to be just too much. This is just right.
davidik.2001 – :
A creamy tuberose that is very green. I personally don’t like it. It seems more medicinal than pleasant.

White is a perfect name for this white floral of tuberose, gardenia, and jasmine. The beauty of MK White comes out during the drydown after the second or third hour. Upon first spray, MK White smells like the original, but once it dries down the lovely vanilla and amber base warms up the scent and removes the sharpness of the tuberose. I love the base of this perfume. It’s a softer but crisper and greener version of the original. On me, this fragrance is influenced much by the weather or body chemistry. Some days the creamy floral blossoms on me, but other days the crispness of the white florals bloom on me and smells a tad peppery/metallic/musky, maybe from the cedar and aldehydes.
The perfume is more expensive than the other versions, so I used my anniversary coupon and rewards from Kohl’s to purchase it.

Michael Kors has a fixation with gardenia and tuberose.Those two are too intense, especially together.
Fosihas – :
Smells way too much like the original for me to warrant a purchase.
I do love the original, but it has to be said…Kors is banging out far too many scents at the moment that all smell very similar.
He’s got like one original scent with 50 ‘tweaked’ flankers! C’mon!!
He needs a new line free of Tuberose and Gardenia, I can’t be the only one that’s thinking this right?!
Jager – :
This is quite nice, but not for me. I think too green for my preferences. It reminds me of lovely fresh clean laundry.
BitDeatte – :
Huge floral, with emphasis on tuberose and very heavy on the gardenia and white musk. Strong similarity to the original Kors scent.
I had expected something more with a bit more edge, and a stronger influence from the fresia.
This was a blind buy that will be evacuated from my perfume cabinet and hopefully find a new home.
The White Kors scent is very nice, but doesn’t suit me. My lasting impression is that this is somewhat dated, or perhaps an effort to please the vintage affectionados?
LightBless – :
Tuberose blast, floral, but it has a bit of warmth to it. Minus all the spice that was in the original.
vilars – :
Love this scent. it has a bit feminine, i would like to wear this though. not too sweet like the MK original, not too strong. creamy floral and green, this is a beautiful scent. Reminded me to Narcisor Parfum
Dirk Martin – :
Much more green than the original. I really, REALLY like this. I always found the original to be much too sweet. MK White hits the nail on the head, removing the cloyingly sweet edge of the tuberose, and adding wet violet leaves and amping up the heady and buttery gardenia instead. It’s a Big White Floral, and it succeeds in every way.
serroga019 – :
Expect a tubérose blast when you first spray it,Kors White remains very floral throughout, so for me really, too much is too much!! It almost gave me a headache on first spray, I would call it a bit sharp also…lovers of big florals will definitely like this one!!
I am not keeping it, I expected creamier, smoother!!! This is like the original in my opinion, not much of a variation !?
