What does Midnight Shimmer smell like?

It opens with jasmine petals over a warm base of vanilla, soft musk and woods. The overall effect is sweet, soft and woody rather than fresh or citrusy.

Is it a daytime or evening fragrance?

It is positioned as an evening scent, a finishing touch before a night out. The vanilla and musk make it heavier than the brand's lighter daytime fragrances.

How does it compare with other Michael Kors fragrances?

It is warmer and woodier than the brand's fresh floral and citrus scents. If you want something light for daily wear, this is not that; if you want a cozy evening scent, it fits.

Is it unisex or marketed to women?

It is sold as a women's fragrance, with jasmine and vanilla at the center. The woody-musk base is not especially gendered, so some men wear it too.

When is the best time to wear it?

Cool weather and evenings suit it best, since the sweet vanilla and musk can feel heavy in heat. It works for dinners, nights out and cold-season wear.
