Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Michael EDP
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'.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Long Island EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Michael Kors - a floral fragrance led by Freesia, with woody depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Michael

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With its strong sillage and impressive longevity, this fragrance demands attention, making it less ideal for a conservative office setting unless applied sparingly. It shines on dates and formal events, leaving a memorable, sophisticated trail. While some reviews mention it for everyday wear, its intensity makes it lean away from casual or sport settings.

Long Island

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the floral signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
