Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The scent of Notes from Michael Houndstooth unfolds as an expressive line of development, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Michael Kors is clear from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.

From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Floral and Whiteflower. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Floral.

When the structure is mixed the fragrance opens as a single chord with a multi-layered petal mood: Cherry blossom, Freesia and ylang-ylang. In this format 3 notes sound as one coherent layer, building romantic softness that keeps the opening compact and balanced.

The middle and base stages are perceived as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which gives the structure continuity.

The internal accord map is built around these accords: Floral with each one in a clear role. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.

In summary Notes from Michael Houndstooth holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best experienced in wear.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Very high (more than 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Very conspicuous

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
