Exotic Blossom
by Michael Kors
Exotic Blossom opens with a soft, fresh fruity accord that evokes mango and white peach, but quickly reveals a lighter, more airy floral-musky base. While some perceive a tropical or exotic blossom character, many find the scent more reminiscent of fresh lily-of-the-valley and citrusy notes than actual mango, with the fruity top note fading fast. The fragrance lacks depth and doesn't project strongly — it’s best suited for intimate wear, with moderate presence and almost imperceptible sillage. It performs best in warm weather, especially during summer, and is widely seen as a light, wearable scent for everyday or casual settings. The bottle is praised for its elegant, minimalist design, adding to its appeal as a visually appealing, modern fragrance.
Pros

Cons
- −Extremely short longevity — it fades quickly on skin
