Summary

Michael Kors Michael is a rich floral fragrance released in 2000. Freesia, Chinese osmanthus, tamarind, and incense create a floral-spicy opening before tuberose, arum lily, peony, iris, and orris build a dense white-floral and powdery heart. Musk, cashmere wood, and vetiver give the base warmth and structure. The fragrance has a more substantial, classic profile than many later Michael Kors releases, balancing white flowers with incense and woods. The current FBR parent has no qualifying full-bottle inventory, so it is archived from active full-bottle routing.
