The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2009 by Michael Kors, Very Hollywood is designed to evoke the glamour and sophistication of the silver screen. Pascal Gaurin crafted this floral fragrance with a bright citrus opening that gives way to lush white florals like gardenia and jasmine, balanced by sweet fruity notes and warm woody undertones. The interplay between these elements creates an energetic yet refined aroma, perfect for capturing the essence of Hollywood glamour.

How to wear it

Very Hollywood is best applied in light layers to allow each note to unfold gradually. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so aim for an initial spritz that lets the floral heart and woody base take center stage as the day progresses.
