Sparkling Blush
by Michael Kors
Sparkling Blush is a light, sweetly floral fragrance with noticeable fruity and tropical accents, blending litchi, pear, and frangipani with gentle vanilla and woody undertones. The opening is bright and slightly spicy with pink pepper and bergamot, leading into a soft, creamy floral heart dominated by frangipani, magnolia, and jasmine. The dry down reveals warm, comforting vanilla and sandalwood, with subtle amber and vetiver, creating a powdery, slightly buttery finish. It's a feminine, cheerful scent that feels uplifting and crowd-pleasing, ideal for daytime or summer wear. Most comments agree it's inoffensive, suitable for young women, and a safe choice for casual or professional settings. However, longevity is consistently light—most users report it fading within 2–3 hours, with moderate sillage. Some find the sweetness and synthetic notes distracting or irritating, while others praise its delicate balance and charm. In contrast, a few report an unwanted plastic or soapy note, suggesting variability or skin chemistry issues. Overall, it's perceived as a pleasant, if unremarkable, light floral that appeals to those who enjoy soft, innocent scents.
