The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019, Starlight Shimmer by Michael Kors is a captivating Oriental Floral fragrance that marries the warmth of amber with the unexpected metallic and spicy notes. The top note of rose introduces an initial burst of floral elegance, which then transitions into saffron's warm, earthy complexity. This rich interplay continues into the base note of amber, where it creates a harmonious yet intriguing blend of sophistication and mystery.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms slowly over time, so apply it just before you leave. The rose and saffron need about an hour to fully integrate, making it ideal for evening wear. It’s best experienced close to skin rather than from a distance.
