Extreme Rush

The rush of an early morning jog through a city park, where the air is crisp and invigorating, yet the spices and musk hint at the day ahead.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019, Extreme Rush by Michael Kors is a fragrance that captures the essence of modern masculinity with its aromatic and spicy character. The composition opens with a bright blend of blood orange and juniper, creating an initial burst of freshness. This gives way to a heart of red thyme and nutmeg, adding depth and warmth. The base notes of oakmoss, musk, and patchouli ground the fragrance with earthy richness, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are sufficient as this fragrance projects well. The citrus and spicy notes fade after a couple of hours, so reapply if you want to maintain that initial freshness throughout the day.
