The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Michael Sheer, launched by Michael Kors in 2003 and crafted by perfumers Steve DeMercado and Monique Dure-Marcy, is a Floral Aquatic fragrance that marries the freshness of citrus with the warmth of woody accords. The opening notes of bergamot, sea water, and Amalfi lemon set a bright and crisp tone, while the heart of tuberose, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley adds a delicate floral richness. The base notes of sandalwood, cedar, and musk ground the composition with earthy warmth, creating a scent that is both fresh and comforting.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays in the morning for the full effect. The bright top notes will last through the day, while the woody base notes will provide a gentle warmth as the day progresses. It's best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh yet elegant scent.
