Michael (for women)

guest_CharlestonJap

This one is a very..."weird" purchase! You either gonna love it or hate it. When I first sniffed it, I found its scent rather strange and unprecedented. It's definitely not for everyone. However, the more I wear it, the more addicted I become to it. And it's not that I got used to it, because I like changing perfumes and trying new stuff. This one is sooo captivating! My friend really likes it! One the other hand my mother thought it smells like a...mice repellent!!!!! Ok, this is a matter of taste, but I think one should try it. Just go to a store and give it a try! It's really interesting and special!

Michael is one of my favourites. It was love at first sniff. I fell in love with it when it was launched in Sydney years ago. It is floral, sweet, strong and opulent just the way I like it. I even have the parfum bottle which is very heavy glass, exquisite.

This one has to be one of the worst scent around. I'm not even sure it was Michael or another one from Michael Kors. I got confused when designer have so many fragrance and spit them out like mushrooms every now and then.
I remember trying it in very classy perfume store and overdone lady was all about fashion and latest "exclusive" American designer scent: Michael Kors. she told me about tuberouse. Ok.
It happened to me the same thing with NR but there I was more lucky :-)
She sprayed it onto my fair, thin, innocent skin and it seemed to me that they poured some kind on chemical unknown liquid. My nose said: toxic!
Never smelled such a revolting concoction of strong flowers and broth-like smell, like that thing they put in Chinese food. Incredibly long lasting.
I've never dared to go close another MK scent. Once in a while I agree with Luca Turin, whose "expertise" I consider to be only a matter of personal tastes plus some education.
They give me a feeling of grossness and the bottle are so cold-looking. Now, if I ever had to change idea about MK, it would only means scent is a very strange world.

This fragrance and Bath & Body works Velvet Tuberose are very similar. I own the lotion and body spray of Velvet Tuberose and realized after purchasing Michael that it would be so lovely layered with the lotion by B&B. I've noticed that tuberose is one of those notes that have a very interesting effect on people. Either they love it or they hate it. To me tuberose smells like a spicy woodsy rose by itself so that's the best way I can describe Michael. I know all the other notes must contribute some musk and spice to this formula but I think it's safe to say that if you've never tried this perfume and you love tuberose you would like it.

I've tried Fracas and while I love it I can't say that the tuberose stood out to me at all, my impression of it was more gardenia than tuberose but perhaps I should try it again. I don't think Michael smells too artificial but it is rather potent and it lasts for a good while too. I'm not sure if it fits me in hot weather.I do think I would like it this winter. Its just really sweet almost cloying but I like it for some odd reason.

I received this as a gift but it really (street)fights with my chemistry. Strange, because it smells quite lovely & mellow on my friend.

To me it smells very synthetic & something triggers my perfume headache (wondering whether violets & tuberose are the culprits!). It is better after an hour or so, but an hour of headache is not worth it.

Sad to say, but I may have swap this away. Who wants?!

This one really varies according to body chemistry. I smelled it on a friend and it was a beautiful, unique summery floral, but when I tried it, it smelled hideously cloying with an unappealing jasmine (?) scent on the dry down. Other friends of mine tried it and it didn't work for them either, quickly turning unappealing.

Juliette has a gun

The most artificial tuberose on the market, hideously screechy and cloying.
Rated one star only by Luca Turin and Sanchez - and very rightfully so - ... rated minus 1 star by me.
Want tuberose? Try Fracas!

Smells like your typical Tuberose based scent, but I like it. Smells very nice

I love this, this is so special! Before I smell this, I didn't know I love tuberose so mcuh. Now I am collectiing nice tuberose perfume coz thi sperfume inspired me a lot. What a romantic scent.

I agree. The first time I tried a tester at a store, I thought NO WAY! But I bought it after wearing it 2 hours in the store shopping. It smelled better once it mixed with my natural smell. I have noticed that the longer I have the bottle, the less time it takes to mix. Now it is the only perfume I wear. But I buy a new bottle before my old bottle is out and spray it a few times, then let it sit. I get compliments from everyone on it whether I'm at a romantic dinner, grocery store, work, or at the bar, and even though I am a smoker... they will never know!

всегда хотелось бы им пахнуть.. мой самый любимый.. другими пользуюсь лишь для разнообразия...

I agree with other reviewers that it's quite strong and should be applied lightly! I find that if I even spray too heavily before walking through the cloud, this is bitter and unpleasant for a couple of hours. So I spray lightly and walk through the mist (my usual application method with strong fragrances).

I am a big tuberose fan, and the overwhelming impression I get from this one is that tuberose is the big star, but there are some terrific supporting cast members here. I particularly like the round spiciness of labdanum, the sweet freshness of peony, and the warm richness of the cashmere wood (which I know is a synthetic accord, but little I care).

This tends to last about 6 hours on me, even with a light spray. From 4 hours on, it is mostly a skin scent that simply persists, making my day pleasant.

I just ordered a mini bottle from ebay and wished I hadn't. As much as I think it is a chic and sophisticated perfume, it is way too in ya face for me. I should have listened to what was written in the other reviews. Too floral for me but I could see how this may suit some, just not me by a long shot!

Smells rich and luxuriously feminine. Sophisticated and sultry. It is not demure. I think it's a gorgeous scent meant to be worn by people that like to flaunt their fragrances. I actually don't wear it myself, my mother wears it and I love it on her. Smells like gardenia to me, but I know it's supposed to be tuberose.

I didn't initially like the smell on my skin, but the other night I said "what the hey" and spritzed it on before I went out. To my surprise, I received many compliments on the freshness and the light, woodsy scent. Men seemed to respond to it well. Not too girly, not overpowering, just sexy and unobtrusive. I will wear it again.

don't like this one Michael and another Michael Kors, both are unremarkable and common, wasn't impressed at all when tried them

Kama

Everyone keep asking me what I am smelling wih when I am wearing them...

I love this scent. On me it smells like my childhood memories of the gardenias planted by the front door. So that it all I smell. I love this but unfortunately it is sooo strong a scent, it give me a perfume headache :( It is beautiful though.

The idea of choosing one fragrance over all others is horrifying to me, but if I had to do it, I think Michael would be my choice. Michael does amazing things with my chemistry. It's a strikingly beautiful tuberose scent that smells like an oasis on a hot desert evening. Purely gorgeous!

This is one of my very favorite fragrances. Ever since I first smelled it, I knew I had to purchase this scent. It's exotic and completely intoxicating. It smells like tuberose, spicy, and a blend of fresh, tropical notes. It's very strong, so you must use it with a light hand! I spray it on and instantly feel uplifted.
