The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Island Hawaii by Michael Kors was launched in 2007 and captures the essence of a vibrant island escape. Perfumer Bruno Jovanovic crafted this Floral Fruity scent with a citrus-heavy opening that bursts with clementine, orange, and pineapple, creating an immediate sense of brightness and freshness. The heart notes of neroli, jasmine, and ginger flower introduce a delicate floral touch that contrasts beautifully against the fruity top layer. This leads into a warm base of white amber, resins, and sandalwood, grounding the composition with a soothing, enveloping warmth.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points for a bright and lasting presence. The fruity top notes are most vivid in the first hour, while the warm base notes will carry through the day, making this fragrance ideal for daytime wear.
