For daytime I've been wearing Marc Jacobs. I was not looking for another fragrance. Sephora put a sample of this in my bag or I would have never had tried it and it would have been my loss. I really like this fragrance. It's a white floral with a bit of bite (similar to the bite in Chanel Chance - another favorite)

I'm not giving it 5 lippies because the lasting power isn't great. But it is a good fragrance

Tuberose BANG. The tuberose in this fragrance is consistent and will not really make way for any other notes to get through to my nose. Of course, I do smell the vetivir and musk come through at the end, but it is mostly tuberose all the way.

I think this scent is humid and does well in the summer. And the staying power is worth mentioning! I spritzed this in the morning and it was much the same fragrance at the end of the day. You'll really have to like strong white florals for this one because it's not going to up and change on ya.

I enjoy this fragrance on some occassions. I don't think this is a good everyday scent. It is heavy and although I have many people compliment the fragrance, I just take that to mean that they definitely smelled in in an overpowering manner. SO, I save Kors for when I'm meeting with my mother or friends. I don't see this as a sultry date night fragrance for myself.

I am a fragrance junkie and do not like to stick with just one. This is a very pretty sophisticated floral fragrance. A little strong initially, however not the best staying power.

I get a headache from this perfume. It goes on too strong. Staying power is poor. Within a few hours you can't smell it (good for me, but not for those that want a long lasting perfume). I wanted to like it :(

It's so gardenia it stings me. I'm not particularly a gardenia lover. It's apparent the fragrance was well blended and well thought out. The scents within it harmonize well.
Do NOT care for the packaging- The spraying mechanism is weak! It's too easy for the sprayer to become clogged/dislodged or whatever, and NOT easy to fix it.

I do have to admit that this perfume smells great and exudes femininity. However, everytime I wear it, I get the most terrible headache. I still have a very full bottle that I'll probably never finish.

I first sniffed this when I was 14 in a department store and always remembered it. Then i graduate high school and had money to buy perfume and this was the one I searched for. Reading the other reviews were informative regarding the ingredients, but to me it reminded me of jasmine, which is my favorite scent. I'm rarely "addicted" to any one perfume, i find most to be too powerful or overbearing, but this one makes my insides all warm and fuzzy...it's an odd sensation. I don't like Michael Kors the human being (especially after I watched project runway), but this perfume is godly.

This perfume is UNIQUE.. clean, soft and with a lasting impression. Males and Females ask me for the name... as a Director of HR i do interviews and the ladies... most of the time asked. At the job...some used to say... I can smell Nydia is here!!! with a smile and semi closed eyes...that is how good it smells. Tip...Go to Sams .... the price is very very very reduced.. ;)

This parfum is to die for...
It's warm, it's exotic, it's sensual, and sophisticated..
I was in love with it at first scent. I walked into the Michael Kors store, and they gave me a sample. I wore it on my skin. Ahh, beauty.

The tuberose, tamarind, peony and lillies... one spray will take you all day.
I get so many compliments on this perfume. I'm almost positive I would chose it over Chanel, any day.. >:0

On my bottle, which is the same geometric, square, mirror-topped bottle pictured here, 'Michael Kors' is written across the front. Fragrantica lists 'Michael' and 'Michael Kors' as different fragrances, but I'm not sure they are. To make things even more confusing, Escentual lists this fragrance as 'Woman' - at least, I assume they are referring to the same fragrance.

Anyway, name issues aside, I am a real fan of Michael Kors's tuberose powerhouse. I remember when it came out, thinking it was the height of modernity, symbolising the strength of a woman - perhaps at a dinner party in London, holding some effervescent drink - deep eyes looking up from under long lashes coated in Diorshow mascara. And there was something cheap about it too - something trashy and dangerous, which needed to be reined in. It seemed to be a fragrance that could go too far, and I still perceive it to be so.

I wore it once, back then, and felt awfully led astray. Even now, I need to keep check of my behaviour in this sultry scent. It's got a sillage trail that blows most scents out of the water, and yet isn't cloying or thick. There is a cucumbery, grassy freshness, which does smell rather like green bananas, I agree. I thought perhaps it was jasmine, but after researching I don't think it even has jasmine in it. The white florals include peony and lily, and I get the latter, but barely the former. The incense lends a warmth and roundness to the scent, but it's not hugely noticeable.

Nose-to-wrist, Michael Kors can be a bit sharp, and actually, it isn't altogether pleasant that way, like some scents. The cloud that envelopes the wearer and those nearby, however, is fantastic.

This is one of my boyfriend's favourite scents on me, and he thinks it smells of bananas with cream. Every time I have it on he exclaims and makes approving sounds. So the notion that men don't like tuberose, which I read somewhere, once, can't be true. For me its strength IS its strength, and what a statement it makes to those who encounter it.

I bought this perfume a while back and I get compliments on it all the time. Its a clean scent, not like laundry soap, but clean,classy scent. The price is worth how much perfume you get also.

Soo sexy! This takes the pretty persona of florals and makes it sultry and mysteriously sexy. I prefer to wear this for fall/winter/night because it's heavy. Despite that it smells like gardenias and tuberose, it is dense and has excellent staying power. 1 spray is more than enough to last an entire day. Kim Kardashian's perfume is pretty much an exact replica of this so I think it's safe to say, she's a believer in MK too.

My absolute favorite perfume -- but that's a matter of personal preference. The reason I'm giving it such a high score is because I've had my bottle for ~4 years (I use perfume sparingly, and only on special occasions) and it still smells exactly the same and is just as potent. Thank you Michael Kors! Now if they would only bring back the Michael deodorant! (Yes it existed, and it was fabulous!)

I love this!!! It smells so great, and it seems to last much better than other perfumes I've tried. Its definitely one of those scents that I can recognize instantly, and I always know when I smell me some Michael Kors!

After reading reviews I had to try this! So I went through amazon.com and got a sample. At first I wasn't that impressed but it seems to have grown on me. Its obviously a floral scent and it smells pretty fresh, which I like fresh scents...
I don't find it as stong as some of the other reviewers said, its not knock your socks of strong. To me its just enough scent to smell on yourself and others to smell if they get close to you.
I like this perfume, very feminine.

I can't believe how much I like this because it is so different to anything I usually like! My favourite scents include TM Angel, Pink Sugar, Jean Paul Gautier, Coco Mademoiselle, Gucci Rush, Jessica Simpson Fancy, Quelques Fleurs Royales and Flowerbomb. Basically sweet, gourmand scents. Michael however, is a tropical, exotic, white floral scent. The top notes are Dewy Freesia, Tamarind, Incense, Chinese Osmanthus. The middle notes are Tuberose, Blue Orris, White Wings Peony, Arum Lily. The base notes are Cashmere Woods, Musk, Vetiver. I would describe the overall feeling as lush, buttery, intense, honeyed, aromatic and velvety. It seems somehow ‘balmy’, humid or creamy even. Because of this I would definitely recommend it for spring and summer seasons rather than the cooler months. It's the perfect hot weather scent. It reminds me of Versace's fragrances which to me are always very feminine, sweet and summery. The only element I can find annoying is that it is quite intense and can sometimes feel a bit suffocating if applied too heavily... I suppose the positive side of that is that a little goes a long way and the lasting power is excellent. What I love most about Michael is that gorgeous tuberose note which I find so intoxicating and sexy. It's different to the sugar-rush, vanilla cupcake type of 'sexy' that I usually smell like! It feels like a tropical garden in full bloom.

There is nothing out there that compares or smells the same as this parfum. It is gorgeous! Each and every time I wear it people stop and ask me what it is and how much they love it. You only need a small spray since it can be overpowering if its used to heavily. Definitely a night scent. Love it and will be wearing it always. This has replaced my beloved chanel #5 as my favorite out-on-the-town scent!!!

This is strange because having read the glowing reviews, I was almost sure I was going to love this, but on me, the smell just reminds me of expensive tiolet air freshener.
To me, a lot of perfumes smell like washing powder and fabric conditioner which is horrible! they should stop making their blimmin washing powders and air fresheners smell so good :|:|
anyhow, The smell is not sweet but strong , very long staying power.

My fave perfume of all time. I love love love it! Not old ladyish at all, but is somewhat stronger than other perfumes I own. I wear it both summer and winter because I love it so much. My hubby isnt very fond of it, I actually dont know any men that like it. But I wear it anyway because it is JUST THAT GOOD.
