I still have a bottle of this but it’s getting harder and harder to find it in the stores. Even online.
Discontinued?!
fox-brush – :
Oh no. I’m in a store and sprayed this on me, but I think someone replaced the perfume in it with a nuclear waste product instead. Shall I alert everyone in the store to evacuate stat? I wonder if I will make it in time to tell other people, what with the migraine coming on and my breath caught in my throat from the poison. Will I collapse? I have flagged down a salesperson to tell them of the impending disaster.
Oh, nevermind. They tell me it really IS perfume in that bottle. No need to evacuate the store. After they gave me oxygen and a few slaps to the back, I am thinking maybe I should still buy a bottle in case of war or other emergency to use on my enemies. Very effective.

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL…AND…BEAUTIFUL!!
FINALLY!!…A beautiful, clean, classy, white floral perfume without fruity notes overload!!!
This one has JUST the right amount of sweet and the clean vibes comes from the white florals with a touch of musk.
A lot of people mention a “banana vibe” with this one and I don’t get that whatsoever. This one in my eyes…is DAMN CLOSE to perfect in the perfume world.
The only complaint that I have is that cheap ass lid! Lol. That ugly metal/plastic contraption looks like it’s the ugly part that belongs UNDER a luxurious lid, preferably that would have matched the light, pretty color of the liquid.
Also…I must say…that this does indeed smell 98% identical to Kim Kardashian’s debut perfume. The only real difference is that Kim’s perfume lasts longer…but doesn’t project as well whereas Michael Kors only lasts about 4 hours but 3 of those 4 hours it projects VERY well. At least 5-6 feet of throw if you use 4 sprays. So it’s kind of a toss up there as to which you would prefer. Kim’s perfume lasts a little longer lasting about 5-6 hours on me but only projects about 3 feet.
Overall…I do really love this perfume! Since I already have Kim’s perfume…I wasn’t sure I wanted to shell out the money for this one but I found a used 1 ounce bottle on Ebay that I only paid about $15 for. And my Kim K perfume was on it’s last few sprays so I figured why not? Got it…used it…and came to my full time job with it on today and 2 people told me how amazing I smelled at the very beginning of the day. One of them actually told me she was immediately putting it on her wish list for her upcoming birthday and had me write down the name of it for her right away so that one of her family members would buy it for her.
So what’s my opinion?
I hate to say it but…to 90% of the population…Kim Kardashian’s debut perfume in the dark purple bottle will fit the bill just perfectly for a third of the price. You can get the big 3.4 ounce bottle of that one for around $20.
However…for those of you that money is no object and you have it to spend…you may prefer this one as even though it doesn’t last as long…it’s potency is most definitely more impressive and it makes it presence more known. Not to mention I know some people have a big ego and when asked…would much rather say “I’m wearing Michael Kors” as opposed to saying “I’m wearing Kim Kardashian’s perfume.” (<– Some people…not me. I’ll proudly state whatever I’m wearing.)
Scent Itself – 10/10
Projection – 8/10
Longevity – 6/10
Overall Score – 9/10
Huge thumbs up on this one! Now I need to try more from this house!!
Merlin19 – :
Imagine you are trapped in a tuberose cage and can’tget out of it….
Bioriatok – :
Pure tuberose 🙂 Longevity all day, sillage medium.
HeikoVi – :
Interesting at first but it’s kinda sharp and gives me a headache
wertbert – :
This is stright tuberose. I dont get anything spicy or tropical. Just tuberose. While it is pretty & feminine its nothing special or standout. Not sexy. This is an office perfume if you dont over spray because it does have some heavy sillage & long longevity. This is an ok for me. I wouldnt rebuy it.
BypeDerygRage – :
The reviews are correct. This is a very nice tuberose floral fragrance. It is very similar to Gucci Bloom. It’s a little more creamy and layered. It has a nice light incense note with Cashmere Wood making it just a touch deeper while Gucci Bloom has honeysuckle and green notes to lighten it a tiny bit. But, the two fragrances are very similar. I own both fragrances and can see now why I liked Bloom so much. I forgot I even owned Michael and now when I compare the two fragrances they are almost identical. If you like light powdery tuberose fragrances then you will probably like this.
karbo – :
I’m surprised I like this at all! The floral notes are to die for! Intense without being too heady, a little carnal. This is what I call a sexy fragrance. I can imagine somebody wearing this on their way to dinner, only for things to escalate in the end.
Nuvo-water-softener – :
This is better than Fracas,Truth or Dare,and Kim Kardashian’s ! It’s GORGEOUS.
It’s almost edible smelling in some ways,,,I absolutely LOVE it!
komrad0311 – :
Very similar to Tokyo milk La Vie la mort, longer lasting tho
konstruktor – :
I don’t wear this very often because I smell it on so many people but literally every time I wear it somebody compliments me or asks me what it is. It’s such a beautiful creation, so smooth and creamy and suits every kind of temperature year-round. Just gorgeous.
vvoitovich – :
This was an impulse purchase in 2011 and probably my first true floral fragrance – i have never received so many compliments on a perfume! The compliments were not even how good my perfume smelt but just how good *i* smelt. Since then i have always kept this in my collection.
Laulplatcruct – :
I have over 100 fragrances and I think I have found my signature! This is absolutely amazing, if you love sweet white florals, you will love this. Fragrance does not last on me and I have to reapply at least 2 to 3 times in my day but this baby is a two spray max! and you are set. I had a 3.4oz bottle but my mum was in love with this scent so Byebye 3.4oz bottle. Soon my 50ml will be here. I know Kim kardashian signature fragrance is similar but in my opinion it doesn’t have Michaels kors refinement and creaminess.
vanodem – :
There are people here that got confused -about Michael Kors Fragrances.—-So…Michael by Michael Kors It’s the first fragrance relesead in 2000,the Signature that it was Not discontinued!! !! The one that it’s been discontinued is Michael Kors by Michael Kores. I hope it helps.
mr.maloy – :
Michael Kors’ aura’s so chic, it makes me feel like royalty. Like Meghan Markle sparkling on her wedding day. And this ride doesn’t turn into a pumpkin at midnight — it lasts and LASTS!
Despite the high votes on the ‘reminds me of’, there’s no resemblance to the common girls like Florence, Kimmy K, and Gucci Bloom. Florence is fruitier, Kardashian offering has less tuberose, and Gucci Bloom lacks the ‘wow factor’ .. this mineral-y note that feels like you’re surrounded by expensive stone architecture. Kors also offers a striking Leather facet, not present in the others. I’m surprised only 3 reviewers have mentioned the leather accord so far.
Received a generous decant from a kind swapper, and adding to the Want List for 2018.
Elorgeorbibles – :
This smells so tropical… i use too own this. Few years ago, sadly it didn’t lay right on my skin… great longevity tho.
incernPubre – :
I hate tuberose. Versace Blond or Fracas could kill me instantly.
This one is Just beautiful. In the first hour somehow I have a few moments of struggle, but IT worth.
For me MK is a big, fresh, pink smile, the beginning of spring, a new start in life.
Luxurious,playful.
I love the sweetness of drydown, it is creamy, fruity.
Just beautiful!!!!!
elk968intitytek – :
This is a love for me, however ….I find it fairly indistinguishable from Kim Kardashian and Gucci Gucci Bloom (I’ve got all three and then some – I may have a slight Tuberose addiction, ahem). Michael does have a subtle incense note which keeps the sweetness in check.
If you are looking for a strong Tuberose fragrance, and budget is an issue, KK is the way to go in my opinion.
Silage and longevity are OK with Michael, but if I really want it to go further, I layer the perfume with Michael Kors body lotion. Again, Kim K has a much less expensive body lotion. Both MK and KK lotions have a slight glisten to them which isn’t as skanky as it sounds. Quite subtle, so you won’t look like you are about to go clubbing if you have the lotion on.
One negative for Michael is the spraying mechanism – I don’t find it very ergonomic because the plunger lies almost flush with the top of the bottle, making it more difficult than it should be to spray. Unless I give it a strong, quick press, the liquid dribbles down the bottle. The bottle is beautiful though, so it’s a minor matter.
bhagavatgita – :
This came out when bold florals were no longer in style, so I give it credit for being closely similar to 90’s scents when we were moving into a new millennium when fresh and fruity floral perfumes took over. It’s definitely a statement perfume and a signature for many women. Often confused for gardenia, I remember this and the original Marc Jacobs being popular and people getting the two confused. I keep a bottle for the nostalgia, but I do wear it ever so often. It’s a very warm white floral. Nothing too complicated, but I enjoy it sometimes and I’m wearing it now.
zxcv157 – :
When I first tried Michael my untrained nose found it almost similar to kim Kardashian and other tuberose,gardenia dominant fragrances such as “very hollywood”and “central park west”.all I could smell was tuberose as if it’s a soliflore.lately I received “Michael kors”as gift.it’s opening part which once was a screechy tuberose explosion for me,now seems so gorgeous.yes,tuberose is the strongest note but now I can feel there’s more going on here.I can also smell gardenia and something like a tad green and spicy lily.I can also get that banana thing which is mentioned in other reviews.on my skin it smells like tuberose plus banana-milk-ice cream shake but hubby believes that it smells like banana flavored chewing gum.it’s strong and gorgeous.manages to be delicious,sexy and classy in it’s own special way.some may find it’s opening too piercing but I love it.and I know that most people prefer heady scents for winter but I only crave florals in spring,and not too hot summer days and nights.unlike some other tuberose dominant scents this one is not linear on me but I wish it was.I’m not very fond of it’s drydown.
I can detect that banana vibe all through it’s life but gradually it smell more like a real banana which starts ripening in time.as time passes the overall scent gets a bit warm and more rounded.what I thought was gardenia disappears and finally I’m left with tuberose-ripe banana-vetiver.actually it dries down in two different ways on me.I guess in cold weather,it stays more in it’s first phase and doesn’t change much in time.just a bit softer,more creamy and there’s just slightest touch of vetiver and incense.what I smell most is a still pretty tuberose,unripe banana,sweet musk and a very light pinch of powder
But in hot days there’s a lot of ripe banana and a lot of vetiver.I’m surprised to see vetiver is not among top rated notes.I can see some people may love this exotic,lush and mature scent but on me,tuberose feels a bit rotten,as if they had put it in water for a long time.I don’t like it when it evolves like this on me so I can only wear it in cool,breezy springs and summers
All in all I’m very happy to have it.I really love it’s first phase which lasts for hours and even it’s drydown is sometimes nice.I give it a thumbs up for it’s complexity,great longevity and sillage and it’s amazing and delicious first hours but I believe my 1 oz bottle will be enough for me and I won’t need a bigger one
I highly recommend you to try it on your skin and give it enough time to settle down
I haven’t compared with KK in a side by side test but I will soon and then I will share my observations
tur4ik – :
I love tuberose (quite an addict, I admit). I have had various tuberose fragrances and I can detect tuberose in most fragrances. It is like my heart rhythm moves a little faster when smell it. I have grown tuberose too on my balcony and smelled the green eucalyptus note followed by an utterly buttery and sweet voluptuous floral note. Anyway, that doesn’t mean that I love all tuberose fragrances even though I love the note. Kim Kardashian and Michael Kors Michael are two “likes” for me. They are quite similar, Michael is IMHO the better one. I get a “dry wind” feeling from Michael because of the powdery orris, the dry and woody notes and smokey incense in the basenotes. The tuberose is piercing on the borderline to headache inducing, and in all it is very linear. I don’t find the other floral notes contributing much to the composition. I wish they did and made it a bit sweeter and more widely flowery than it is. That said, this is a very well executed fragrance and my opinion is just a matter of individual taste.
sergeytelkov – :
I had this a few years ago. I was always sniffing my wrist, and I really liked it but it was a definite tuberose scent, which can get boring after a while. I’ve never bought it again because although I like it, I like something where one single note isn’t so dominant.
andrei7610 – :
I tested this because the inner ho fan girl in me knew this is Kim Kardashian’s signature scent. I wasn’t expecting something so mature and classy from her. It essentially smells like tuberose, musk, and bananas. It ain’t my style but it’s nice.
Fullyfefe – :
Ok, I’ve learned my lesson with blind buys, I swear…ha. I have a .5 oz bottle if anyone wants to swap. Send me a message!
anysoftik – :
I like it BUT this really smells so close to Ralph Laurens tender romance. It’s even a similar color. I did a side by side wrist comparison. Very close while Ralph Laurens smells a tad bit sweeter and smoother. Out of the 2 tender romance still wins.
des1roer – :
It is a pure natural tuberose. Some sparkling real flower vibe you don’t expect from such a minimalistic design bottle. To me it reminds a lot of Dyptique Do Son. Kors is the same quality. Same zen and relax.
Neymar – :
bjer-don – “Michael Kors” is the slightly reformulated version of “Michael”.
It’s the updated version of his signature scent, in other words.
“Michael” is no longer available, sadly.
However, they smell sufficiently similar that, if you liked “Michael”, it is extremely likely that you will also like “Michael Kors”.
As I mentioned before, I have a “Michael” scented candle, which I bought around the time it was first launched and I now also have a “Michael Kors” EDP, that I bought fairly recently and you can definitely tell they are supposed to be the same fragrance.
In fact, most people would probably struggle to notice the difference; especially if they were not smelling them side by side.
There is a slight difference; but, it is very slight.
Probably had to be reformulated to conform with regulations.
Looks like they probably dropped the tamarind and the iris; but, seeing as they were two of the least dominant notes, it’s unlikely to be a dealbreaker for most people.
Still well worth buying, if the original suited your body chemistry.
I would probably now call it my second signature fragrance.
My one complaint would be that the sillage of the “Michael Kors” reformulation (no idea about that of the “Michael” original) is a little on the gentle side (boyfriend can only just smell it at arm’s length).
But, other than that, really nice.
…and as for the delightful (and I’m sure, utterly fragrant!) Tania Sanchez, it would appear she could do with being a little less subjective, in her reviews, in general.
There are plenty of fragrances that others seem to love, but that (sadly) smell absolutely hideous, on me.
More that do than don’t, in fact.
However, the difference is, that I would never deign to write a book on fragrances based purely on my own, subjective, opinions and/or on what did, or didn’t, happen to agree with my personal body chemistry.
Bolt211976 – :
@bjer-don Michael Kors edp is their signature scent which now comes in the vintage Michael flacon shown above.
Michael edp is discontinued, sadly.
I have owned both at the same time since when they were first released in 2000. There are differences in scent.
Hourrymuh – :
Clearly a love it or hate it fragrance. Tania Sanchez really rips into this one in Perfumes: The A-Z guide, but I don’t always go along with the opinions in that book. In this case, I dissent. While tuberose dominates this scent, it’s not the only player. Michael operates on three axes: floral, green/fruity, and warm.
The floral axis centers on tuberose, but one can’t dismiss this as a soliflore. Freesia gives this a sheen and peony cools and sweetens it. The green/fruity axis includes tamarind (together with the tuberose suggests a banana note) and vetiver. Surprising more people have not commented on the vetiver in the dry down of this; it emerges after the first couple of hours and becomes almost as noticeable as the tuberose. The warm axis includes basenotes such as the musk and cashmeran, helping to balance what could be a screechy white floral.
Either Michael works on you and smells incredible or you are left with tuberose nostril burn. On me it lasts forever; literally, it’s in my laundry days after I have worn it. Not a safe blind buy. But a big love for me.
Michael shares the tuberose note with Kim Kardashian, but KK is cleaner and more gardenia floral. The peony, vetiver, and tamarind set Michael completely apart from KK. You could never confuse the two.
Alain Alchenberger appears as one of the noses for Michael. He now heads the perfume school at Givaudan. Laurent Le Guernec went on to compose other very popular scents such as SJP’s Lovely and many scents for Bond No. 9.
Overall, a modern white floral musk. Like most Michael Kors products, it’s just a bit obviously ambitious. If it works on a person, however, it’s radiant and divine. One of my favorites. Tuberose in general is second only to lily in my book.
hybrid5 – :
Where is anyone getting their information that this has been discontinued? It is still available for purchase on the Michael Kors website. It is listed as their signature perfume.
Impeptofeds – :
Since the first time I smelled Michael, I have really come to love tuberose. Now, I appreciate and love this scent like no other. This is one of my favorite tuberose scents. It’s tropical banana tuberose but also woodsy, earthy, creamy, musky, slightly smoky. There is so much going on here, it’s a complicated scent and it’s all so wonderful. Can’t see how this could be discontinued, when I saw a slightly damaged 3.3 oz bottle on eBay for $12 I did not hesitate to hit the buy button. There are many comparisons to this and Kim Kardashian (Check out my review) but in my humble opinion though KK is a great scent for the price point it comes nowhere close. Michael is all about the glorious tuberose, KK is more gardenia (which tends to turn soapy on me) so the difference for me stands out especially. The silage and longevity are amazing. This is one of the best white floral scents in my collection. actually, not just white floral but one of the best out of everything I own.
kae22kucepin – :
Michael is a luscious tuberose white floral with some celery and banana going on. Great for summer.
igodimus – :
I have this in a square scented candle, with a silver coloured base.
Visually, it’s very of its time – cool and minimalistic, but with a hint of glamour.
I never lit it, as I felt it was too beautiful to burn.
It kind of looks like a lump of fudge and still smells divine.
Rich, creamy and slightly smoky.
I found it again, in a drawer, today and as I love tuberose, it inspired me to try the EDP.
I have a feeling it may turn sour on me, but here’s hoping…
Edit: So, I think what I have ordered is actually the updated version of this – “Michael Kors” by Michael Kors – rather than “Michael” by Michael Kors.
So, it’s even more of a blind purchase.
Hope it’s not too different.
denya4a – :
This was another rushed purchase (ok, ok, I’ve learned my lesson!) which is almost the same as a blind buy IMO. For me, I need to wear a fragrance at least an hour before I know for sure if I like it. It starts off VERY nice, sweet tuberose (I think, lol, I’m not too familiar with the note). However, the final dry down has an almost metallic tinge to it? I can’t figure out what note would do that in this perfume, I guess it’s just my chemistry. Too bad, people seem to really love this one, at least I only spent the cabbage on the 1 oz.
gabdulla – :
I wore this fragrance daily throughout my last pregnancy. For that reason, it has a special effect on me and a connection is made in my brain between this scent and strength, femininity, & new beginnings. It’s a very pretty, creamy, white floral. I quit buying it myself because I find Kim Kardashians original perfume to be a dead ringer for this at half the price and easier to find since Michael was discontinued. I was kinda shocked by the few reviewers saying they don’t see any similarities between the two at all because I wore Michael EVERYDAY for a year and even I struggle to tell the two apart. I suppose it goes to show how unique each persons chemistry and perception is. Anyway this is lovely. Without question the best of Michael Kors offerings that I’ve tried. It has really good lasting power and silage also with very few sprays.
uab918Diobtetty – :
This is a sweeter, less green, more banana Tocca Florence. I like it, but my boyfriend absolutely despises it! He said it smells like dandruff medication? It’s his least favorite scent on me. I don’t think he likes white florals because he didn’t seem happy with Alien either. Oh well, he has no real say 😉
djalexvvtpk – :
my sample arrived in the post today. pwew! this is so strong. i only dabbed a little and i have an untrained nose so to me all i can smell is gardenia and over the top it is. resisting the urge to wash it off but urge is winning over the resisting….
vitov75 – :
Michael by Michael Kors is like an island vacation in the winter. Hopeful. Alive. Coconuts. Tropics. NOT for the office and not for any other season other than winter when you want to battle ASD. It can be loud and attention seeking. Use deliberately.
rgv823InsuffBooni – :
What is so striking to me reading through all of these reviews is how everyone experiences scent so differently…
This is one of those fragrances whose notes always seemed up my alley – I love big white florals! – but for some reason I usually passed over the bottle. Today it was an odd mix of overcast and mild, the still-pale but increasingly closer and warmer end-of-winter sun shining through an orangey-grey veil of cloud, some trees still bare and some sprouting light green everywhere. And for whatever reason it struck me as the right day to finally give Michael Kors’ Michael a whirl.
The beginning is beautiful to my nose. A sweet, sharp white floral blast. I wouldn’t want it around forever, but for a few moments, it’s intoxicating, enchanting. Following that, the sharpness mellows and the fruitiness grows, and MK waxes into a lush, banana-sweet, tropical creamy floral. I’d almost forgotten what tuberose smells like… now I remember. Like ylang ylang and banana and gardenia all out in the hot sun, opulent, overwhelming, otherworldly. The most enjoyable phase of the fragrance comes to me slightly after that peak. Once it hits that most intense ripeness, it begins to quiet and smooth, becoming gentler, creamier. The musk and cashmere come into play. It’s recognizable for the first time as a floral woody musk, rather than a fruity floral.
The dream came to an end for me about two hours into its development. A note arose that mimicked burnt tar to me, and it’s been present for a solid 6 hours since. I take it that it’s the incense accord, but it just doesn’t gel with the rest of the fragrance for me, and it comes at a time when I’m looking for soft and gentle instead of acrid and striking. The sillage has fortunately waned, and the rubbery note is close to my skin. The strangest thing is that neither my fiance nor mom can smell that note… my mom could smell the floral trace, while my fiance didn’t get much at all. All in all, I appreciate the scent for helping me remember the glory of tuberose, and I’m glad there are those out there who experience it ecstatically, incense accord and all.
Bavar – :
I feel that Michael Kors is a very love/hate fragrance, because it’s not your typical floral or vanilla gourmand.
Anyways, this scent has a very ‘teaspirational’ aspect to it with the chinese osmanthus and smokiness on top. Along with those two notes, I get a heady tuberose, white floral mix that want to join the club. It’s watery, creamy and spicy at the same time; which sounds really gross, but it works on my skin. Super musky and sensual. Depending on the climate, I feel that this is a good day to night fragy-frag; it embodies the Michael Kors’ New York City chic girl around town, hustling 9-5 and then drinking dirty martinis…the scent would still be smelled in the night. I hate re-applying scents multiple times per day when I barely have the time to even smear lipstick across my face.
I remember smelling this in the department store when I was much younger, and fell in love. I also believe my sister owned this scent at one point in 2006 so, it kinda is one of those “take me back” scents.
I would say to try before you buy, but if you like V&R Flowerbomb…you might like this one as well.
P.S. – I don’t think this is anything like Kim K’s fragy…her’s gives me a definite soapy floral-citrus headache.
mhg208speagoessenda – :
Hi all
Wow, the opening is like getting a whiff of Jasmine or honeysuckle straight from the garden.
I’ll keep you posted on the next notes
EDIT
ok, I don’t know what turberose smells like… what does it smell like?
I’m not yet getting warm layers …. it’s a cooler sort
Fresh and rounded Jasmine, this doesn’t go bitter like MK glam Jasmine does on my skin.
This keeps its scent, pretty linea, very good lasting power; I’m now 9hours later and still clearly smell this when I put my nose in to my elbow.
I don’t love this, but am very impressed by it.
Cool floral Jasmine, honeysuckle on the bush is sweeter, it may or may not have h.suckle.
axanchik – :
People who aren’t familiar with white florals or perfumes in general will often confuse tuberose with gardenia, and this drives me nuts. 🙂 I first smelled tuberose in a tiny bottle of Sonia Kashuk perfume. It was a clean and stripped down note, but I knew it would be one of my favorite flowers forever. When Michael by MK came out it took me a long time to smell it and try it on my skin since at the time I lived in a city with few department stores and no Sephora. The first whiff I got of it was the leg shine, which Sarah Michelle Gellar raved about in some beauty magazine, but it was only a faint scent in a golden stick much like a deodorant. When I did find the perfume I instantly bought it, but I knew nothing about layering or my dry skin absorbing perfume until it disappeared, so I returned it. For years I heard about it being a signature scent of celebs and random women walking by, and I felt like I was missing out. Here I am in 2017 with a bottle of it, and I’m trying again. It really is beautiful and captivating.
iqs790Bessinepome – :
As a man who wears MANY women’s fragrances, I have to say that this one will remain in my “guilty pleasures” category, and will be used in-home, especially for a bedtime scent. It is a really great scent. Much smoother than the Kim Kardashian one…for sure. The sillage is very good. It circles around you…creating whiffs of the florals…not cloying at all, the musk “tones” the sweetness down…Yea !!…a good thing IMO. The dry-down is very worth the wait, but some may find this a linear type scent…???….depending on your chemistry. I find this scent comforting in a way…Also, I live in Florida,and out in the heat this may sour up on me…or radiate the floral components too much. All in all, I recommend this to floral lovers/likers. BTW..it DOES project as well. I rate this a 8/10 scent.
max76 – :
Don’t laugh but to me this smells exactly like caramelised banana that’s been pan fried and has a slightly smoky aroma left to it….and I really enjoy it!
First spray is kinda bleh but please let it settle! VERY interesting tuberose, it’s tropical, smoky and creamy.
zgt515speagoessenda – :
Quite good and interesting tuberose scent. It has even some kind of powdery and musky smell to it.
It’s distinctive, you know it if have tried it.
There’s a similarity between this one and the other ones from Michael Kors.
In my opinion, it’s suitable for a hot summer day and for casual wear.
sqapobltjpp – :
Amazing sexy über feminine tuberose scent. It has an earthy ,tropical elegant quality .This may come back in sales as tuberose is so big at the moment. It’s so comforting and sexy to me. Creamy sweet tuberose at its best. Not many scents out there are like this. Almost exotic ,rich floral and maybe even animalic as the nature of tuberose has something animalic quality to it , carnal ,creamy or fleshy .
i also bought carnal flower a week ago and love it very much. Carnal flower being even more of a green realistic smell of fresh cut tuberose but then dries down to be buttery and creamy sweet as well much like this one , in a way .
What I love about this scent is that it falls into floral woody musk and is not just a plain white floral scent.
Slight reminiscence of jasmin rouge TF
sergey64rus – :
Sprayed on my arm and fell in love.
Paradise in a bottle. Couldn’t stop sniffing it, basking in it like in a beautiful dream you don’t want to end.
Only that it ended. An hour later. Felt like crying.
Tried again, as I bought a sample.
Same thing.
I thought I had a problem with my nose or I got used to it, but on my other wrist I had another perfume which smelled just fine and dandy.
Best tuberose I sampled. Yet to pricey to spray every hour and frustrating otherwise.
Still looking for a similar fragrance that lasts.
PaymnCarsnins – :
VERY floral. Light and pretty, with GREAT sillage. The tuberose is there, but subtle. Good choice for daytime.

Michael Kors and Amarige are twin sisters , very very very similar fragrances !!! I don’t really love it .I just like it. …..it’s a flowery tuberose creamy fragrance and that’s it ! Nothing out of this world.But u can feel it’s quality .I use it as a day fragrance.Also in summer night.
Great sillage and staying power go easy with this one ! It is very strong …which is a plus for me .

Lovely tuberose scent but too much for the husband . Have a FB to swap.

This was my evening perfume in my 20s. It’s like POW! Peonies in your face! It’s bold, like you want to slam open the doors and walk with a swing.
It’s strong. And people will know it’s you.
Just because I wore it in my 20’s, I don’t think the age bracket stops there.
I’m going to get another bottle just to spice things up once in a blue moon.

I’m not a tuberose fan – at all.
But this is just gorgeous!!
Lovely airy floral fragrance which smells like real flowers.
I’ve tested this in the heat and its amazing

There’s very little that needs to be said about this perfume. If luxury had a scent, it would be this. It is very rich yet smooth, long lasting and fantastic projection. This is a statement. It clearly says I might or might not be able to afford the better things in life, but I certainly belong in that lifestyle. Its for a self assured woman, you will get noticed by everyone. It takes whoever smells it to a rarefied secret world between the realm of magic and legends and the world of wealth, good taste and unspoken power.
