Michael for Men

First of all this is a givenchy perfume. A very unique one. Smells like a pipe tobacco flavoured with dried fruits Longevity and projection are excellent. Its not for everybody so try before you buy

@BrandonR There are essentially 4 variations of this release. The original formula "Michael" The original formula "Michael Kors" The reformulation "Michael Kors" (least common) The reformulation "Michael Kors for Men"

It is another banal day in what you always thought would have lent itself to the American view of paradise. A beautiful home, a loving family, good friends, yoga classes...whatever. You're staring at your spice rack - coriander, tarragon, anise, cinnamon, cardamom, caraway....what the hell am I doing here? Where's the risk? Why does tomorrow have to be like every other day? Compelled, you adorn your most dangerous outfit, faded and torn jeans and a sueded leather jacket, and light the finest cigar you've been saving for that 'special occasion' - whatever the hell that was supposed to be. You look like death - the sexiest version, that is...sexy as death...hell? Who gives a fuck - you're going to kill it. You go out in search of trouble, in search of meaning, connection, a foolish affair - anything to make you feel alive again. You exude smoked seude and tobacco - that of a phoenix that has risen from the ashes of a past life. After hours of sheepish glances and other shenanigans, you wind up at some new nightclub blasting something you didn't know was a thing. This has to be a mistake...you go in anyways. You scan the room - somewhere in the neon strobing you see the trouble you've been seeking. You make your way over and strike up a conversation - it's painful and awkward but it's new, it's revitalizing. She oozes plums and honey - you want a bite. She invites you back to her place, you don't refuse. Her place reeks of patchouli, incense, and sandalwood...she still smells like heaven - your debauchery ensues to an exhilarating end. You fall asleep in each other's arms - this is the closest she comes to finding love in an ephemeral world. Morning disturbs your flight of fancy - you must return to that bittersweet life. You politely exit - the night of passion clings firmly to your skin...the decadent plum, the hippie sandalwood, the honeyed tobacco, the smoked suede, and the nutty musk of carnal desires. You feel different, a little wicked - you wouldn't have it any other way. Day 55 - The blind Listening to: Radiohead - All I Need Disclaimer: I've never done this in my life - I've heard countless stories and seen things that have lent to this review. Again, it's an elaboration on a theme - I hope you enjoy it! Notes: This is for the old version - the new one is similar but it lacks the honeyed plum note that makes this gorgeous! The opening is a bit of a kitchen, minus the sink - a touch of tarragon, anise, a smoked caraway, a pinch of coriander, and a powdery cinnamon. All of this is expertly blended with a rich tobacco note that is paired with a smoky suede note all drenched in a beautiful honeyed plum. Parts of this are dangerous and parts are nearly edible! The base brings touches of sandalwood (connects the honeyed plum and tobacco), a dry patchouli (to accent the suede), and incense (furthers the smoke note in tobacco and suede). As it gets quieter, the scent becomes more of a smoky and musky skin with just a touch of sweet - this fume is divine and is in my top 6 for a reason! It lasts from 8 to 14 hours on my skin and can easily be worn by either sex - try not to let this beauty get to your head!

This is a great fragrance, albeit one that took me a little bit to warm up to. There are no gimmicks or distractions here, just a very deep, rich, almost "chocolately" feeling tobacco accord due to the dark, earthy, patchouli which is used perfectly here, and the intriguing, and classy hints of dried fruit and plum that form the basis of this refined scent. Longevity is quite good. I get about eight hours from it. Projection is also perfect (about arms length) for a scent such as this and helps, in part, to lend Michael Kors for Men it's more formal, sophisticated feel. This isn't an "exciting" fragrance by any means, and I don't recommend this one to most guys under 30, however, this isn't the prootypical "old man's" fragrance either. No, it's is a very classy, masculine, sexy, mature, sophisticated, scent. At first few sniffs it seemed a tad boring to me and a somewhat generic, and to be honest, I wasn't sure why so many people have been raving about this scent. But while it isn't groundbreaking or revolutionary, Michael Kors IS very well-made and will serve you superbly in the office or on other more formal and even intimate ocassions. If you buy MKM and you don't appreciate it at first, I strongly reccomend giving it some time (maybe even trying it out directly against some others fragrances you own) and as so often happens, you may come to appreciate it just as much as I do, and that's... quite a lot! :) Highly reccomended. Overall: 7/10

Love This! Stunning! Encore!
