SmokyWhat does Michael Kors for Men (2014) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
The opening brings star anise, thyme, coriander, black pepper and bergamot, with elemi resin adding a resinous edge. The heart holds suede, frankincense and sage, and the base of patchouli, sandalwood and musk dries down woody and gently sweet. The accords also carry fruity, smoky and leathery shades.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring works too, and it suits daytime, evening and the office about equally. Half of the voters read it as masculine. Its profile is close to Michael Kors Michael for Men and David Beckham Intimately Men.
