Twilight Shimmer

Tested this at Ulta today and I was pleasantly surprised. I struggle with most sweeties but this one is beautiful. It's a sheer, white sugar, plum scent with just a tad of smoke. It smells like you'd picture the dark sister of the Sugar Plum Fairy would smell. To compare, this strikes me as a more sheer, more feminine yet smoky cousin of Decadence. It's a sweetie from start to finish but the smoke keeps it in check and it is never cloying. The contrasts intrigue my nose. She doesn't decide if she wants to be naughty or nice so she is unapologetically both. More sexy than luxe. It would be a good evening or winter fragrance, as it has strong sillage and good longevity. This would be a good one to try if you like Decadence, if you want a contrasted sweetie *without* patchouli, or if you are a dark fragrance lover wanting a lighter crowd-pleaser. I may have to add this to my want list!

I'm in love with that line 😩I also have midnight shimmer and is one of my favourite because let's be honest🙄 it's one of the best warm vanilla perfumes ever(if you consider the price😏) but twilight shimmer is the bomb 😍👌✨it's like Christmas in a bottle.. Rich and sweet (the opening is sweet with red fruits and it reminds me of another perfume but I can't tell which one yet) not too sweet like midnight shimmer because of the oud and the woodsy notes in it, praline is what I can smell last on my skin but it's there ... Guys 😩it's the perfect balance between sweet and woodsy notes, at least on my skin.The sillage is ok if you want to be noticed you can overspray and the whole building will know you arrived 😏

I picked this up as a blind buy at TJMaxx. I'm not usually a fan of Michael Kors scents, but the notes sounded interesting enough to give it a try. I am SO GLAD I did, because Twilight Shimmer is gorgeous. There is a strong blast of plummy fruit in the opening, but it quickly settles down and blends perfectly with a rich oud. Several reviews called this unisex, but to me, it is all sophisticated woman. It has great sillage and it lasts, so tread lightly when you spray - a little goes a long way. For my sensibilities, it's a little too strong to be work appropriate, but perfect for fall evenings. Oh, and the bottle is a pretty addition to my collection - I am a fan of the sparkly purple!

Beautiful... I have to say I am in love with each of the offerings from this line for different reasons. I have glam jasmine, starlight shimmer, mystique shimmer, twilight shimmer, and sexy amber. This one is giving me dessert oud and I’m all ears. Right out of the gates it shouts it’s intentions. Even smelling this on a tester strip clings onto the skin of my face and envelops me in a confectionery, woody oud. Loving this! It’s definitely a projector so take care if you’re going to be in a setting where heavy scent is challenging. But for date nights, woodland walks in the fall/winter, or in my case, a grocery store run- I’ll sign on the dotted line.

I'm going to start off by saying I'm not a fan of MK fragrances... but this, this is GLORIOUS! It's sweet but not sugar sweet... it's more of a fruit sweetness with the smoky Laotian oud and that bit of praline, so fantastic! You only need a spray or 2 to last all day with moderate sillage. To me, this is a fragrance for a bad b*tch.. a motorcycle riding, carefree, March to the beat of their own drum type of chick. It's sexy, it's mysterious, it's everything I could ever want! For reference, to me, it smells like the naughty lil sister to Oud Bouquet. Not a dupe but definitely same family. And that bottle... gorgeous on my nightstand

Love love love this fragrance. I'm new to Oud and this one is extremely palatable. It's super sexy for wearing at night. I'm not fond of fruity fragrance and I don't find the plum in this one to be too much, it adds some freshness at the beginning. The Oud is incensy/smoky and blended really nicely with the other notes in this fragrance. I haven't had an occasion to wear this out of the house yet so I cannot comment on longevity. The bottle is STUNNING and if you're curious the glitter is well adhered to the bottle and doesn't make a mess in my drawer.

This is an easy westernized oud that is mass pleasing. It’s sweet, woody, and sexy. It’s good for date night and going out with the girls. It’s also yummy and cozy. It’s not a food scent by any means but the praline and plum give it a ALMOST a dessert-like quality. I feel this is confidence in a bottle for a woman who is looking to conquer a night out in the town and have fun (both naughty and nice fun) that is someday when this pandemic is over.... Longevity is 9+ hours on my skin and it can almost fill a room. Beautiful and fun scent!

this is extremely rich, I get alot of incense and oud , but yet a thick syrupy sweetness , like sucking on a sweet candy forever and needing a drink of water. It lasts forever , use sparingly , I will definitely be buying this for winter , so jammy and bold and sexy, you have to be a sexy woman to wear this one ladies

Plummy/fruity sweet opening with a smokey/powdery rose dry down. The oud is in there but it's a sweet one, not a medicinal one. I really like this one! Stays on my skin for 6 hours.

kind of like a celeb fruitchouli with oud; still has a floral component to it that reads a bit like rose; praline, oud, plum or any sweet fruit, patchouli

Twilight Shimmer is slightly sweet and spicy on my skin. It's reminiscent of Euphoria Liquid Gold, but lighter. I absolutely love it.

Twilight Shimmer (Eau de Parfum) by Michael Kors opens with a densely packed blast of designer sweetness. The opening reminds me of a fruity patchouli fragrance, but without floral notes. Vanilla and generic fruity notes dominate during the opening, but it is clear that there is a woody accord screaming for help under all of the designer mall candy. Eventually, the fragrance unfolds and reveals a bold smoky accord that sticks around long into the dry down. I’m not getting oud, just smoke and a touch of woods that could be mistaken for patchouli. The candy-smoke combo reminds me of By the Fireplace by MMM. This fragrance could work for someone who likes sweet fragrances or dislikes florals. I wish that I could detect the oud in the fragrance. I can’t, so this is not going on the full bottle list. On the other hand, I can really see Twilight Shimmer working on the right person. Performance is decent, the bottle is beautiful, and the price is fair. 3/5

This is a lovely, dark and mature sweet-bomb type scent. It's in the same lane as many other sweet/floral/fruity cocktails but it offers something a little bit more nuanced, grown up and interesting. I love the first hour of it on my skin. Very deep, very rounded. Woody and sweet plumb. I don't really get much of an 'oud' aroma out of it, it's very low and buried, there is something that is certainly woody about the fragrance and it does want to be the star of the show but it seems like it's uncertain as to how to catch the spotlight. The dry down isn't spectacular but it's pleasant and unassuming. I like this perfume, but it also seems like to me that it doesn't really know what it wants to be. I would however be delighted to have a bottle. I think it would make a great new "dumb reach" for me. 7/10

Woody, dark fruits. Twilight Shimmer (TS) is an interesting release by MK. Woody Laotian oud, with leathery, serious, slightly-fruity plum dominate TS. There is mild support from the woodsy notes & the red fruits to enhance the aspects of each of the aforementioned dominant notes, respectively. The praline exists mildly here to give a more feminine sweetness to this mature fragrance. The oud also adds a very mild smokiness.. Woody, incenseny, lightly sweet-&-fruity, slightly-leathery. This a serious, mature fragrance from MK. Beautifully feminine with a dark edge, thanks to the oud/plum combo. A mature cool weather wear, suitable for dates & romantic nights. Big "Like"

I just went to ULTA to sample this. It is very strong at first. Something about this is powerful and sophisticated. Nearly unisex. The plum never made an appearance to my nose. What came to my mind was a very expensive chocolate desert at a high end restaurant (and dark wood architecture). It has been over six hours and it still has a faint lingering where I sprayed it, but all sweetness has left and it is only wood now. I love it. Maybe not as a daily or signature but for an impressionable date night with a confidant attidue.

The bottle looks purple, the perfume smells purple, or it is my idea. Unisex for sure and will definitely work in colder weather. There is an intensity to it, that I didn't expect but it is pleasant once it settles and dries down, into a woody, somehow smokey, winey and "christmassy" scent overall, if you let it unfold through the mainstream sweetness; sad to say so but yes. Patchouli sweetness and generic saccharine berry for starters and roasted tonka bean as well. Lasts for ever with noticeable projection.

I don’t know why it took me so long to find this but after a year I finally found it! And it was worth the wait. So upon first sniff I got a fruity sweet smell that reminded me of all the gourmand fragrances in my collection. When my husband had a sniff he detected oud most. It has good lasting power and is still on my skin after my shower. Definitely a scent for cooler months as it has the tendency to be headache inducing in warm weather.

When I tried to guess the notes I was thinking about a deep, purple plum, patchouli, cranberry, something musky and something woody. This would be perfect during the fall and winter. It's warm, sweet and engaging. People want to be near you when you wear this.

What a lovely syrupy woody rose this is. How is rose not listed in the notes?? Perhaps its the plum being misconstrued as rose. Such a well balanced sweet woody fragrance; almost too good to be an MK fragrance haha.

I dont think this is a bad fragrance, its sweet, i like it :) It does not smell like Thierry Mugler Alien. I also dont think its unisex like some pointed out. So i think this is good!
