Island Bermuda

The moment when the sun begins to set over the island — where the fresh, bright scents of citrus and berries soften into a warm embrace of white flowers and woody musk.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Island Bermuda by Michael Kors was launched in 2008, a collaboration between perfumers Jean-Marc Chaillan and Loc Dong. This fragrance transports you to a sunlit island where white florals mingle with fresh fruity notes, creating an atmosphere that is both vibrant and serene. The composition opens with the brightness of citrus and berries before settling into a heart of jasmine and gardenia, complemented by woody undertones that add warmth and depth.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays in the morning for a fragrance that evolves throughout the day. The fruity top notes will give way to floral warmth as the day progresses, making it perfect for both daytime freshness and evening sophistication.
