Michael Kors

Michael Kors is an American designer celebrated for his womenswear, who launched his namesake line in 1981 at the top New York department stores while still in his early twenties. His success eventually led to a role as creative director at the French house Celine before he returned to focus on his own brand, which expanded into menswear and more accessible lines, with many viewers also knowing him from his years as a judge on television. His fragrances are produced in partnership with Estee Lauder.

The Michael Kors signature is warm and refined, built on woods and warm spice with patchouli depth and a smooth leathery edge. Pink pepper and bergamot lift the opening while almond milk adds an unexpected creamy softness, giving the line its polished, slightly sensual character. Begin with Wonderlust for its warm, comforting floral-amber feel or Extreme Journey for a deeper, woodier read. It is jet-set glamour translated into scent.
