The story behind the bottle.
Wonderlust Sensual Essence by Michael Kors was launched in 2017 and is a creation of perfumers Honorine Blanc-Hattab and Aurélien Guichard. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with the freshness of pink pepper, pear, and peony, creating a vibrant and lively top note that soon gives way to the softness of jasmine and orange blossom. The heart of the scent is enveloped in a warm embrace of cashmere wood and amber, while suede adds an earthy undertone, grounding the composition with a subtle sensuality.
Apply Wonderlust Sensual Essence in layers for a more pronounced effect. The fresh top notes dissipate within an hour, so reapply if you want to keep the initial vibrancy. The woody and musky base notes develop gradually over time, making it perfect for evening wear.
