Extreme Sky
by Michael Kors
Extreme Sky by Michael Kors presents a light, airy, and refreshing woody-aromatic scent with prominent bergamot, cypress, and pink pepper in the opening, evoking a crisp, ozonic quality. As it develops, the fragrance settles into a green-woodsy heart with vetiver and cedar, subtly enhanced by a soft musky sweetness and faint barbershop-like notes. The overall impression is cool, clean, and modern, with strong spring and summer suitability and daytime wear. It feels like a lightweight, modern take on woody fougères, akin to enhanced versions of classic pieces by brands like Hugo or Encre Noire, but more restrained and casual. The projection is moderate to strong initially, fading in strength after a couple of hours, while longevity is moderate at best. The scent is unisex in proclivity but leans heavily toward male wearers, and the price point is extremely favorable when acquired at discount retailers like TJ Maxx or Marshall’s.
