Fragrance houses

Michael Kors

17 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Michael Kors range is made of

Across the 17 Michael Kors fragrances Zenyra has mapped, the materials that recur most are bergamot (41%), sandalwood (35%), musk (35%). No single note dominates, which is itself a choice — this is a house that works across a palette rather than around a signature material.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads safer than the catalogue as a whole: risk averages 0.19 against 0.34 across all mapped fragrances. That is a wide margin, and it is the clearest thing the data says about this house.

One idea, or many

Michael Kors releases variations on a theme. Measured as the average spread of its fragrances across all five axes, the range scores 0.097 — narrow. Someone who likes one Michael Kors fragrance is unusually likely to like the next, and someone who dislikes one probably will not find the exception further down the range.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2014.
