Michael Eau de Parfum vs The Lost Paradise Exquisite Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A truly iconic tuberose that became a signature for many, Michael Kors' Michael is mourned by its loyal fanbase after its discontinuation. It's a powerhouse white floral, divisive for some, but a 'tuberose masterpiece' for its devotees, with 'nuclear staying power'.
This one's a floral enigma, leaning feminine despite its masculine-presenting visuals. Some reckon it's got a whisper of Baccarat Rouge 540 in the mix, evolving into a floral dream. A great dupe for a cheap price.
