Kors: Behind the scenes

First look: Mario Testino photographs supermodel Benjamin Eidem in the Florida Keys for Michael Kors’ new men’s fragrance. Inspired by the ultimate jet setter, Michael Kors for Men opens with bright, fresh top notes of bergamot, coriander, star anise, elemi, thyme and black pepper. The warmth of incense and smoothness of suede are joined by the aromatic qualities of sage, creating a unique signature. This modern, masculine scent is enriched by the earthy sensuality of patchouli, sandalwood and sleek woods.

My new fragrance captures that feeling of escape and the exhilaration of the jet set lifestyle – when you’re ready and eager to jump on a plane with a moment’s notice.”

We created a fragrance that embodies all of that – a modern, woody, oriental fragrance with top notes of spices and nuances of aromatics that brings this fragrance to life.”
