Sexy Sunset

This does remind me of Daisy, Chanel Eau Tendre and even Vince Camuto Fiori, but there is an elusive watery/aquatic character in Sexy Sunset that keeps it from being a complete clone of any of those fragrances and I assume it's the top note of lotus. It also doesn't veer quite as powdery as those other three do on my skin (especially Eau Tendre and Fiori) but there is an essence of a make-up compact here, albeit a tropical make-up compact LOL! I love the mixture of pear, lotus and freesia here and it actually lasts quite a while on me and projects nicely enough that people notice in a good way. I can't wait to wear this in hotter temperatures, though and see if it blooms differently in heat, as I notice that Daisy reacts to heat in a much better way than it does in cooler weather (Eau Tendre and Fiori, while lovely, become nearly unbearable in the heat as that face powder scent just takes over everything else in the otherwise delightful composition).

I own a ton of perfumes. I am a perfume junkie. The only line of perfumes that I don't really care for are the ones by Michael Kors. I am just being honest. To each their own I guess. I saw this online and I ordered the 1 ounce to be safe before I dropped a ton of $$$$ on a 3.4oz. On first spray it was not an immediate hit for me. It was very strong and I could really smell the Blackcurrant. Mind you I only sprayed once on me. However I will say this...the dry down of this perfume is surprisingly very very nice. A very summery type of perfume. I love the dry down just not the initial spray. The strange thing is even though this perfume is strong (needing only 1 or 2 sprays) it does not last very long on my skin. Goes away quickly. On clothes maybe 1 to 2 hours. Overall it is a good perfume and it is worth the money. Just wish it would last longer on my skin.

Wow! How come there isn't more hype for this perfume? It is definitely the sister of Marc Jacobs Daisy and Chanel Tendre. For me the top notes are a juicy pear, sexy blackcurrent, fresh freesia and girly peony! It's definitely sweeter than Daisy and it has a dark sexiness from the base notes, so it lasts longer than other similar perfumes. Also this makes the dry down smell sweet and musky! In my opinion, it is a good daytime and nighttime Spring/Summer perfume. Not too heavy, but not too light either. It's a great fragrance for every occasion. Longevity too is pretty dang good.

Sexy Summer is a delicate fragrance that is sweet wihout being overly irritatingly sweet and overpowering. At first spray, I find the scent not really that common at first whiff. It was refreshing though not in a citrus way. I bought it based on repeated whiffs at a local store and I immediately felt drawn to it (hence the repeated whiffs). I bought it without testing it on my skin long enough. I love the fragrance though I had somehow expected it not to last because its notes were so subtle to begin with. I oversprayed with this even though it is eau de parfum. I sprayed directly on skin in various areas (behind both ears, front neck in between collarbones, nape, scalp, both wrists and both antecubital areas behind the elbow). I also sprayed as a mist all over my body with my clothes on. After wearing it about 1-2 hours spent with friends, I couldn't smell it anymore. My friends also didn't compliment/notice the smell, making me think that the seepage is just a small area. I returned home about 10 hours after I sprayed it and it only lingered on my clothes, a little faintly but it is there. The perfume I sprayed directly behind the ears is still there but can only appreciate it if I touch the area with a finger and then smelling said finger. Since the smell is so lovely, I did not have any regrets buying it. I just hope it would last longer. Guess I'll just have to re-spray. It is rather on the expensive side though. Would I buy it again? Probably not because of the price. But I am glad I was able to try it.

Michael Kors fragrances have their typical smell and this one also has it. It's a modern floral scent. Strong lotus, freesia and peony notes. I can also sense musky scent and pear. I think it's quite fine, it could be worn easily. An everyday fragrance for sure, a good one to use daily, fresh and clean.
