Sexy Ruby

The moment when the sun sets on a city street — where the crisp fruitiness of raspberry and apricot mingles with the warm, velvety notes of rose petals and jasmine.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Sexy Ruby by Michael Kors was launched in 2017 and was crafted by perfumer Pierre Negrin. This fragrance is a Chypre Fruity composition that opens with raspberry and apricot, leading to a heart of rose petals and jasmine sambac, before settling into a woody, musky base anchored by cashmere wood. The result is a scent that balances fruity freshness with floral depth and a warm, sensual finish.

How to wear it

Apply Sexy Ruby to pulse points for an intimate warmth that lasts through the day. The fruity top notes are fleeting but vibrant, so a second application in the afternoon can help maintain its full character. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
