Frequently Asked Questions

How does this fragrance handle longevity and projection?+

This Eau de Parfum is known for its high-impact performance. It typically lasts through a full workday and beyond, with a strong sillage that ensures you will be noticed in a room.

Is this a good choice for office wear?+

Yes, it is frequently cited as a professional and polished scent. However, because it is quite potent, many recommend a "less is more" approach for business environments to keep the floral notes from becoming too dominant.

Does the sweetness come from sugary or gourmand notes?+

The sweetness in Michael is primarily floral and balsamic rather than edible. It stems from the natural nectar-like quality of tuberose and osmanthus, balanced by tamarind and smoky frankincense.

Which seasons suit this fragrance best?+

While it can be worn year-round, it shines brightest in spring and fall. The moderate temperatures highlight the freshness of the freesia and peony while allowing the creamy cashmere wood base to feel cozy.

What is the dominant character of the dry down?+

After the initial floral intensity subsides, the fragrance leaves a soft, powdery, and woody trail on the skin. The combination of musk and cashmere wood creates a "second skin" effect that remains detectable for hours.
