Michael Kors

Michael Kors, the brand's 2004 feminine, is a creamy tuberose floral with a soft, woody base. Flowers lead clearly, with lighter woody, musky and ambery touches.

It opens with freesia for a sheer, peppery floral note, Chinese osmanthus for an apricot-like, slightly leathery bloom and a touch of incense for a dry, smoky edge. The heart is rich and creamy: tuberose gives a heady, buttery floral note, lily a soft spicy sweetness, peony a fresh rosy brightness and orris root a powdery elegance. The base is smooth and warm, with cashmere wood adding a velvety woodiness, Tahitian vetiver an earthy dryness and musk a clean, skin-like finish.

Most wearers report moderate to long-lasting wear, with a moderate trail that some find strong. It is voted for spring and winter and more often for daytime. That suits it to work and daytime events, for someone who loves tuberose with a refined, slightly smoky edge.
