Twilight Shimmer

The hum of a city at twilight — where the last light mixes with the glow of street lamps, and the air is filled with the mingled scents of fruit stands and warm honey notes.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Twilight Shimmer by Michael Kors was launched in 2018 and is a creation by perfumer Aurélien Guichard. This Oriental Vanilla fragrance opens with the juicy sweetness of plum and red fruits, leading to a heart that balances praline's warmth against Laotian oud's depth. The woody base adds a subtle animalic edge, creating a composition that feels both comforting and slightly mysterious.

The interplay between fruity freshness and woody complexity makes Twilight Shimmer an intriguing choice for those who enjoy fragrances that evolve throughout the day.

How to wear it

Twilight Shimmer's praline note fades quickly, so apply it in layers to ensure the woody and animalic base notes have time to emerge. It pairs well with a light jacket or cardigan for an intimate evening.
