The story behind the bottle.
Wonderlust by Michael Kors, launched in 2016 and crafted by perfumers Alexis Grugeon, Aurélien Guichard, and Honorine Blanc, is a fragrance that embodies the spirit of adventure. The composition opens with almond milk and bergamot, creating an initial impression of warmth and freshness. This gives way to a heart of heliotrope and jasmine sambac, which adds a sweet floral depth. The base notes of sandalwood, cashmere wood, and benzoin anchor the fragrance with a powdery, woody warmth that lingers softly throughout the day.
Apply Wonderlust to pulse points and let it settle for about five minutes before heading out. The almond milk and bergamot top notes are fleeting, so the focus should be on letting the warm base notes take center stage.
