The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Midnight Shimmer by Michael Kors was launched in 2016, offering a blend of floral and woody musk notes that evoke the warmth and intimacy of a late-night rendezvous. The fragrance opens with quince and jasmine, creating an initial sweetness that is both fresh and alluring. This gives way to a heart of freesia and vanilla, adding layers of softness and comfort. The base notes of white woods, amberwood, Peru balsam, musk, and moss ground the composition in a warm, enveloping embrace.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points for optimal warmth. The fragrance blooms slowly, so it’s best suited for evenings when you want a scent that develops over time rather than making a quick statement.
