Hidden Gem

Michael by Michael Kors was released 2001 and demonstrates that standards for concentrations have shifted. This is an EDT but truly behaves like an EDP, outperforming most mainstream selections today. This represents a time when the MK brand was very classy and was all about luxury. Michael is a lost treasure. This is a mildly sweet and ashy tobacco, complimented by fruity notes. There is also that signature note of suede that Mr. Kors used in his original fragrances. It puts you in the mind of D&G The One for Men, launched 7 years after MK's Michael release. They both feature coriander, cardamom, tobacco and an opening note of citrus. A great business-casual or date night fragrance with intense longevity for an Eau de Toilette. An amazing hidden gem, if you can find it. However, if you already own this then keep a firm grip on it.

Michael Kors Michael For Men (2001)

A favorite tobacco forward fragrance that doesn't smell like anything else out there as it is both retro and modern all at once.

Even the 2014 re-issue has a much different composition, while maintaining only a touch of the original's backbone. I really enjoy both versions, but reach for the vintage more often especially in cooler weather.

Fortunately, the vintage is still widely available on-line in 1, 2.5, and 4 oz bottles so check it out while you still can.

Michael Kors produces a full line for men today, but in 2001 there was only one choice - "Michael"... and he got it right the first time.

4.5 stars.

An acquired taste for.. prunes ?!

So, this one was a blind buy from my side.
Enjoyed it at first, heavy on the tobacco, plum, incense, cinnamon and a slight hint of cardamum. After wearing it a few times, I got a recurring smell of prunes (yes, PRUNES) coming through which started annoying me. Also, I feel it somehow smells dated - not old school, but dated, I can't quite put my finger on it. Anyway, after some months I finally gave in and swapped it for another scent.
Sillage and longevity are just fine and I like it, but somehow it's just not me.
I advise you to test it once or twice before buying.
