Wow I had completely forgotten about this perfume until I saw it on fragrantica.
I feel so nostalgic, this was my first perfume when I was 12
I smelled it in a store and when I got home I loved it so much I wanted to go back and buy it (it was on sale too!). So of course, my parents told my older brother to take me and we walked back over to the store and bought it.
It was definitely a lovely sweet, musky smell, not exactly what I’d imagine a preteen wearing, lol. I wish I could smell it again just for the feels.

Pink, fresh, sparkling and flowery. A nice mix of rose and peony that resembles Stella a lot but probably in a lighter way. I used to hate this perfume when it came out, nowadays I find it very reasonable for the price and I believe it can easily compete with more pricey roses in the market.
It is perfect for office wear and to blend with rose, musk and woody oils or body butters.
It is being discontinued so get it while you can!
astesyRit – :
This is my absolute favourite perfume to wear in summer – the hotter it is, the better it gets. Beautifully crisp and fresh, not at all sweet as far as I can tell, just a clean, airy and bright rose.
Luckmanddp – :
This is one I keep coming back to. This was originally bought for me over 5 years ago as a present. Since then I have bought 2 more bottles of this. Unfortunately, with it being discontinued this is getting harder and harder to find.
It is a light, sweet floral. I always thought of this as being a cosmetic, peppery rose but can see there’s no rose note? Perhaps it is peony I am smelling with a very slight hint of violet. This is a modern fragrance that hints at the old fashioned or vintage. It reminds me of old-fashioned boudoirs, chaise lounges, powdery makeup and a wardrobe of stage costumes not worn in years.
stalk23 – :
Yes it’s discontinued…
So sad because it’s wonderful.
aliewedly – :
Beautiful. An edgy, sexy scent for sure! Truly a one of a kind fragrance that Kate Moss did perfectly. If you love roses, you will love this. Was my signature for years. To me this is all about the rose, pink pepper, patchouli, and sandalwood.
This is a scent that actually transforms wonderfully. When you first put it on, it’s a blast of sharp rose and pink pepper. After a couple hours it will dry down to an incredible soft, floral, skin like scent. I remember I would pick up a sweatshirt I had sprayed it on days later, it would still be there, and it smelled like delicate soft rose petals. Nothing like the original opening. Very comforting and cozy.
This scent is perfect for fall/winter because it has that sharpness that blends with cold weather. It’s also great for evening wear. I’d mainly put it on when I was going out for the night. So many memories from this scent. It was a treasure I found over a decade ago. I wish it was still readily available.
It was the only Kate Moss fragrance I liked. And this to me could have been a classic designer fragrance. It’s a shame it’s so hard to find, I think it may even be discontinued… not sure. Can not find it in Canada anymore.
If you like roses, don’t hesitate. This is an edgy classic and a rare gem, with a risqué side and a soft side. Just like Kate herself. I lmiss it.
kuzmina – :
i had this perfume its very sweet and girly very much a daytime perfume. its very similar to Ghost Cherish Ghost for women
and to an avon perfume called U by Ungaro for Her Avon for women.i like all 3 of them

jdelrow – Priceline sell it and you may find it in other discount chemists. 🙂
mariya100985 – :
I agree with what was said below. As a celebrity fragrance, it’s certainly one of the better ones; it doesn’t have that cheap extremely sweet quality to it that a lot of them tend to have (Naomi Campbell comes to mind).
It’s floral and sexy, not overly feminine or sweet and has a “dark” seductive side to it. Before I had bought it I had read a short review of someone who said it smelled like ‘smoky rose’. I agree completely. If you like roses but want something more exciting than, say, Givenchy’s ‘Very Irresistible’ (which to me is one of the most boring fragrances out there) this would be my recommendation.
It’s very wearable during day- and nighttime alike and its longevity is surprisingly long.
elenrudakova46 – :
I love this!!! Cannot find it anywhere!!! Can anyone give me some comparisons?
kuropatka – :
Pineapple? I dont think so! I get a very heavy rose with a little spice and green notes. It was a great replacement for Stella by Stella for me.
OlegZZZZZ – :
To me this is a perfect balance of floral and woodsy notes, with a surprising twist that is an undercurrent of pineapple. Love Kate’s bottles that look like nail polish!
ZemDm – :
Add cotton candy and you have 212 sexy
pnsuper – :
Extremely fragrant and wearable. This is a classier celebrity perfume than most celebs. It smells even better than some designer and niche fragrances. This reminds me of a very delicate bouquet of exotic flowers but nothing too wild. This is definately a must have even though it’s not that popular as others.
Nogoccani – :
Why are the notes in the pyramid almost COMPLETELY different to what’s written in the article???? Which is true?
vadiiik – :
Gradually getting to know Kate Moss’ first scent. Every time I take a whiff of the bottle and newly doused t-shirt I get sharp raspberry (though that’s not a note!). I also get a sterile, fresh, stylized femininity that reminds me of Drew Barrymore’s Radiant, only sweeter and more musky. [Shared notes: peony, musk, bergamot.] However the similarities end when I spray her on my skin and sheets, and she grows into her own unique creature.
In the space between sleep and consciousness, I could have sworn there was another woman in my bed, effortlessly sensual, young at heart, naturally tempting, passive yet inviting. She knows all the secrets of love and pleasure, and lays there soft and silent, open to anything that may happen.
[Over a month later] Kate is a gorgeous everyday perfume that seems to fit every mood and occasion without growing tiresome.
aicelisEo – :
can someone please tell me why the liquid in my perfume is green and not pink? its the original one 🙁
palek – :
One of those perfumes that smell better in the wind as your walking down the street and you get a lovely whiff of a pleasant suprise. Lovely and very feminine and a little sexy. I smell musk rose and violet
Stig_BLR – :
This was a very nice rose scent, but I think her signature should have been velvet hour
gilvova85 – :
This is such a well done rose scent. So fresh and vibrant. I will definitely be re purchasing when I run out. Longevity and sillage are excellent for a celeb frag. I get so many compliments. I layer it with dkny pure touch of rose (which dissapoint s because of its powdery ness) and it’s beautiful. On its own it’s beautiful too but I layer with the dkny to make the dkny more wearable.
STAREC – :
My take on this fragrance is so different from other reviews and a massive departure from the advertising spiel. Raspberry fairy floss is my first impression and I’m surprised to find that ‘sweet’ is missing from the list of accords. After an hour the sweetness has settled down and is overtaken by a strong musk. Its hard to find musks that don’t give me that association with musk sticks, perhaps it’s an Australian thing …?! But for a fragrance that is supposed to be seductive and elegant, I get something that reminds me of a 5 year old’s lolly bag.
2010 bmw 13 – :
anything that is musky and floral is perfect in my book
bruidly – :
This is very classy and naughty at the same time. I like Kate’s range of scents. There’s a dark side to them. Love it!
Ansher – :
This is a really pretty, inoffensive smell. Peony-musk combo with some fruitiness (I did not recognise the pineapple specifically) and a sprinkle of sharp-rosey pink pepper. Nothing special, but quite nice. I would recommend it for days when you want to take a fume-break, but are still inclinded to wear something.
Unfortunately, it doesn’last more than an hour me. And I have applied half of the 1 ml vial! Seriously, my drugstore Pret a Porter glamour chic deodorant lasts longer than that.
Darkromanangel – :
I hate musky & usually I’d tried so hard to avoiding perfumes that has contains MUSK as a major ingredient cuz it gave me terrible headache. BUT I CAN’T SAY NO TO KATE. I only can handle the domination of musky note in Kate & Lovely by SJP. But Kate is way more musky than Lovely. A heavy musky & surprisingly it’s not heady. Rose & tuberose are my favorite flower. The roses in this scent was really amazingly charming & beautiful. It’s heavy roses, heavy musky & so fresh. I get a lots of compliments when I wear this (same things happened with my Lovely & Rose Essentielle) & it’s really made my day. There’s a bit sweet & spicy in the middle until the end of the day. Yes, Kate has an amazing lasting power (eventhough it’s an EdT), really good sillage but a bit overpowering musky in the first 2 hours. I really love Kate by Kate Moss. Such a high quality scent for a celebrity brand. GOOD JOB KATE!
JohnXXX – :
I almost bought this blind. Happy that I didn’t! Kate is such a pretty perfume on paper – a little harsh from the pineapple at first, but still quite fresh and clean until it develops into the sweetest musky-floral. I thought this would be a lovely affordable addition to my summer fragrance wardrobe as it’s fresh-smelling, contains no citrus, stylish, cute, and has Kate Moss’ British twist.
Sadly, my skin disagreed. The pineapple takes over the entire composition for me – very fruity and fresh at first, (it’s a lovely unusual freshness), which develops a strange acidic cleanliness – not sure if this is the peony/pineapple combination, but I didn’t appreciate it here (it was starting to make me feel as though I’d just cleaned the bathroom). Very linear scent. In addition, the muskiness was non-existent and I didn’t get any pepper. Sillage about soft to moderate on me, lasts for about 4-5 hours. I guess my chemistry doesn’t work with this one!
lzrarbdwjfj – :
My bottle of Kate was a gift from my daughter, who clearly knows what suits her Mum! Being a celebrity fragrance, I was initially concerned it may be too young for me, but I was wrong. I’d never tested or smelled the scent before my present, soon after it was released.
This is a perfume that I always received comments on when I was wearing it. In the office colleagues would regularly ask me what scent I was wearing, and they’d comment on how gorgeous the perfume was.
Wearing other perfumes never had the same reaction, so Kate must work really well with my chemistry.
Kate is a glorious blend of florals – not too sweet or cloying either. The musk balances out the scent along with the cedar. I used to enjoy this perfume through all stages, and found staying power was excellent. I put on at breakfast & could still smell it on me mid afternoon.
I’m still not a fan of celebrity fragrances, but I do have one exception – Kate. It’s truly beautiful
игим – :
i got temted by kate moss tag on it. ahe is such a chic model and i had high expextance on her perfume.
the only thing that i hate is musk. i looovee the rose in kate moss. its not typical rose that make me sick. its really adorable and mysterious. nothing gonna beat this rose anyway because is waay pretty. good job.
kosta – :
So easy to wear! I seem to come back to this fairly often – it is floral and feminine but not overpowering. Dries down to a lovely rose musk and lasts for ages.
EnrililigeVog – :
I don’t like this at all. I get rose, lemon and a little something floral. I get so depressed when I smell this it must must be an association from earlier in my life. Whatever I dislike about it reminds me of what I disliked in Versace Crystal.
It does not smell like Stella In Two Peony to me.
nanot3ch- – :
Am I the only one who thinks this smells like her other one Velvet Hour. I honesty cannot notice much difference. I like this and I love Velvet hour too. This lasts on me it wafts around all day. I must say when first sprayed it resembles vinegar but it soon settles down nicely. I love the bottle quite unique the colour of the juice suits the smell.
If you like Gucci II or Velvet Hour, Miracle, Provocative Women, Believe, Signature Story, Just Me you should try this it is a similar style.
мак1 – :
Sits very close to skin silently, but a wonderful fragrance. I smell lot of rose than anything else. She is for those special intimate moments without being very loud about your fragrance. Longevity is good 5-6 hours, but because you have to sniff your wrist every now and then to feel her, you often mis-interpret she is long gone.
I would probably wear her during my bed times than outside.
orfan – :
“Pretty” is the perfect broad-stroke adjective for this little one. She does not blow my mind or make me swoon, but I also wouldn’t like to be without her. I have taken her to work several times, and while she is definitely appropriate for that environment, i can’t say she is perfect– Kate is just so soft that the smells of the office, and other people, and the world— just drown her out, and kind of distort what little bit of her is detectable.
So, while Kate is fresh and ladylike for work or errands or a night out or what-have-you… these are not the situations in which one can really get to know her.
She will open up in an intimate setting– cozied up at home, after a hot bath, she will whisper her secrets… first, her pink garden rose, further freshened by peony (I sense the peony, but as with many of you, I sense mainly rose)… she wants you to know those right away. Spend half an hour or so with her, and she will surprise you with a very distinct, but still soft (every bit of her is soft) pink pepper. By this point, she is hinting at the respectable dose of sexy (yet still clean) musk that is her soul.
I spray Kate on both wrists, dab my wrists to each side of my neck, mist in to the back of my hairline, and then into my cleavage… I have to be surrounded by her to really feel her, and even so, she is never overwhelming.
After our intimate evening together, the reminder she leaves behind is a fresh whisper of very clean rose on a bed of soft skin musk. Some of my very favorites. 😉
I spent last night with Kate… fell asleep with my arms nuzzled up to my nose… and woke this morning with her essence remaining just enough to make me want more.
Odisey – :
This is really pretty, sexy and feminine. Another fragrance that if it wafts past you, you’re going to want to know what it is. I like it. It is actually a bit different!! I can’t stop sniffing my wrist, and I have to say on me it really lasts. I don’t like heavy perfumes because they start to make me feel sick after a while and I don’t think this is heavy. It smells like rose and orange blossom with a hint of lily of the valley and warms up into a pretty feminine musky scent but it still smells clean not heavy and dirty. Sort of clean with a hint of naughtyness about it!! Not cheap either. I’m glad I bought the 50ml with body lotion which also smells fantastic!! The more I smell it the more I love it!!
volodyan – :
I like this. And I’m surprised I do. It’s got that classic, understated, serious, classy, lady vibe to it. No scratch that, it screams cool ice queen. It bears close resemblance to Lanvin’s Rumeur as gashdown noted but thankfully doesn’t have that asphyxiating, volatile industrial opening. Oh how I dislike Rumeur for that. They ruined what could have been a good thing. It should have been what Kate Moss, Kate is.
romanl1 – :
I am pleasantly surprised with this! While I’m not a massive fan of Kate Moss’s other fragrances, Vintage Muse is offensive in my opinion, I bought this really cheap and since I bought it I always find myself wearing it. It’s a very clean, musky rose smell that has a beautifully clingy intimate sillage to it. I’ll probably buy another bottle when the one I have runs out.
сергей123454 – :
I like this perfume and I wear it a lot. Mostly because it’s cheap and it’s a pretty clean (but not very fresh, if you know what I mean haha) and non-offensive scent. Not very original though. I can definitely smell rose.
On my skin it doesn’t last very long so I spray it on my clothes. The lasting power on my clothes is great, the next day I can still smell it.
I really like the bottle as well, I think it captures the scent very well.
dante1982 – :
Why rose is not in the note pyramid I have no idea. Kate Moss, upon drydown, is a predominately rose scent.
I always feel the need to compare roses because there are so many. In contrast to other British roses such as Paul Smith, Kate Moss is an English country garden rose. It is soft, musky and floral-sweet whereas Paul Smith’s rose is ozonic and quite green, perhaps even a bit sharp.
I’d go so far as to say that if one is seeking a simple, pretty rose you could skip over pricier options such as Stella McCartney and just opt for Kate Moss.
So yes, rose and then a hefty dose of peony. I detect a tiny amount of the pineapple which serves in a citrus-like capacity. The base is mostly musk with a touch of cedar.
Kate Moss is not a particularly out the box rose fragrance, but it is a well executed one.
Diabet7777 – :
musky, dirty rose.
rinat.neo – :
Interesting scent (the rose is definitely present), but if I didn’t spray this on my clothes, I wasn’t gonna smell it at all. It just had no staying power on my skin, and moderately so on my clothes. This is one of the scents that was given to me as a gift by a friend, and I don’t have the heart to tell her that it doesn’t work for me. So I just wear it when she’s around, since she loves how it smells on me. I just wish I could smell what she can.
Norialgerlorn – :
Rose & musk equaling a cashmere feel, it smells warm and sweet yet deep all the while, i like it the violet and jasmine work wonders together the whole notes just completely work for me, usually when i see the notes listed i can’t smell them individually in the fragrance yet in this one i can. It’s completely feminine yet sharp all the while. It is deeply sensual and an ideal winter perfume for them cosy nights with someone special, it makes me feel warm inside yet i get a tingle in between my shoulder blades when i smell it, it takes me to them warm autumn/winter nights where all you want is to become intimate with that special someone who understands and appreciates you. It is a special perfume for a special time of year. I usually avoid celeb fragrances but this one is well put together and original with much too offer.
STRELOCK – :
Always regreted buying this. Used it up as a toilet air freshener, and it annoyed me even there. Synthetic, generic and with a poor lasting power. What was I thinking?..
ASoftware – :
Got this as a gift and today picked it up from my cupboard again after some years…still lovely.
I smell pepper, rose incense patcholie and musk. Its lovely and not cheap at all. Not juice nor bottle….I find them both classy !
But why does the text about notes and picture of notes differ ?
Forget me not , pineapple and where is the picture of the rose ?
Sandalwood-cedar…Fragrantica you have to get the notes in order…
Confusing, but it doesn’t matter, this is lovely !
vova8492 – :
This is pretty and delicate, and would be a good buy if it lasted more than two hours!
monk97 – :
Now i have got my 2 Kate Moss perfumes, and i totally agree, this smells like Stella in Two Peony :)but much more aviable world wide and much much cheaper.
13art – :
Bought this yesterday after sampling it and am so dissapointed that it has no longevity!! upon first spray i found it feminine, floral light and whimsical flirty, just shame it disappeared within the hour
impress86 – :
I have bought this and the other of her perfumes unsniffed via swedish ebay version. Am so lokking forward to try them 🙂 I maily bought this because it to some ppl smells like Stella in Two. I hope it does.
DiamaXxX – :
My ex bought me this one: just another proof, he didn’t know me at all, even after all those years, lol.
This one is just not for me- it is all right, nothing disturbing about this fragrance, but it is just sooooo weak on my skin and nothing special..
ylj425Unlogrere – :
Have used it for 3 years now and I just cannot get enough of it. It’s just so different from all other scents. It has become my signature scent. The body lotion is strong and long lasting.
goe273speagoessenda – :
This is such a pretty scent – it begins with a soft combination of pink pepper, strawberry & peony which then transcends into an earthy, creamy, rosy musk. I also get a slight turkish delight/marshmallow vibe that is lovely – in fact this is what I wanted Libertine (TBS) to smell like, alas it turned sour on me :(! The body lotion is also gorgeous & you can pick this up so cheaply now. It will probably be my everyday ‘to go to’ fragrance now that TBS have repackaged/reformulated Japanese Cherry Blossom (pointless glass bottle!). This is so airy & fresh but sensuous too – it surrounds you with wafts of girly floweriness & even my husband said I smelled good, & he NEVER comments on my perfumes! It is, as mentioned, similar to Stella in Two, but that is a little harsh in the drydown on me, I can also see similarities to Miracle which used to be my signature a few years back, so if you like those you should like this. Also, years (& years) ago I wore L’Effleur by Coty (as is this) – it was ‘my’ smell & even though I no longer have a bottle or even remember how it smelled, I get the feeling that this could also ‘be me’…..The snob in me would rather this was not a ‘celebrity’ scent, I may feel a tad embarrassed owning up to it – nonetheless I love it all the same!
снежана – :
In a word – cheap.
Cheap packaging, cheap bottle, cheap thin short-lived rose scent.
If you want an inexpensive, light rose scent there are hundreds of better ones, I’m sure. Paul Smith Rose, Yardley English Rose or Yves Rocher Rose Absolue for example.
Apologies to anyone who loves this, but I’m amazed Kate Moss let this go out under her name.
ingar – :
smelled like a rose & nothing else…very simple
lomka – :
Oh kate, i really like the scent, i think it fits my personality well, but the longevity is just “urgh” (its depressing). Less than half hour and i smell nothing. I only smell a slight trace of it when i really stick my nose to my skin where i sprayed it. Sad.
budda85 – :
Interesting for what it is and sort of airy but there’s a sweet aspect to it I’m not really friends with, plus a slightly chemical undertone. Gave it to my niece in the end.
Lazuri25 – :
This to me is, at first sniff, a nice compromise between SJP Lovely and Lanvin Rumeur. Not as cleanly clean clean as Lovely, not as screeching as Rumeur. Kate saves us from Rumeur’s opening, which is the olfactory equivalent of nails on a chalk board. If Lovely was underwear, it’d be your nice everyday undergarments. The white satin ones with a tone-on-tone flower pattern and just a tiny bit of lace. You know, the ones you wear for the office, when you know you are going to have a drink with your colleagues after work, and that nice guy from the Finance department might swing by, and… well maybe, you know. Kate would be the black version of the very same underwear. Just a tiny bit more edgy, seductive and sexy.
Kate also has an ethereal quality: it’s not a very “grounded” scent. It doesn’t “sit” on your skin, it’s a whisper that floats about you. Somebody mentioned it had “postmodern” qualities, and I would agree. It has somewhat of a loose structure, is a bit of a dismantled, stripped down interpretation of new classics. I wouldn’t go as far as to say that it makes a statement. Think rather of a very well thought, beautiful, albeit a bit controversial advertisement campaign devised by turn-coat artists who now just want a good paycheck but are still brilliant minds.
ariy2 – :
mysterious, gorgeous, and i think that it is suitable for both younger and older women. it is so bohemiam, just like kate itself.
Initovercette – :
It’s light, but not sweet. Slightly floral, but with a touch of spice. Could wear for daytime if you’re looking for something different as it isn’t overpowering. I bought after reading the positive reviews on here. It’s pleasant but just doesn’t wow me.
Swapping or selling if anyone is interested.
SonicJamp – :
definitely not fall in love at the first sniff. First spray, it was too strong for me. I sense no floral note. But spray it again three or four days later, it smells differently. More soft, a little bit powdery. And yes, i smell the rose. I like it better. Too bad, longevity isnt too impressif
monsta – :
I love this, i can detect a combo of Musk – Spice, i just LOVE the combo. Only Disappointment for me is its Projection lessens within 1 hour on me; BUT, after that it remains on my skin till the next bath.
I wish the projection would better and people could smell me for a long time. 🙁
albyts – :
I love this scent! I had it few years ago, it was my first…….and as a first, it was just amazing. Perfect for younger me. But this time I am looking for something more polished, sensual, musky, sexual and not so well known….(Of course, I haven’t found it yet).
LaurfLurlJask – :
I really enjoy this the pink pepper is most noticeable to me, I’d say it is a great fragrance for the money, not sickly sweet like most celeb fragrances, It is spicy, fresh, very pretty, I’d like to buy a big bottle as an everyday sexy yet inoffensive fragrance.
crotenend – :
I bought this on a whim at a perfume shop. Normally I do not buy “Celebrity Fragrances”, I think the trend has gotten rediculous. Give me a break!
Oh, okay, back to Kate Moss. I love her, and trust her has someone who knows more about fragrance then, say Justin Bieber or Snooki. She got me with the patchouli & musk brightened by white floral and a kick of pepper & pineapple. The dry-down is so warm & pretty, I can’t stop smelling myself. My husband hasn’t noticed it, but at least he doesn’t hate it! Time to keep my eye out at discount stores & stock up & look for her other fragrsnces to try.
юлия виттек – :
Many years ago, a close friend made me try this, and though I liked it, I didnt think too much of it until I bought a gift set some time later.
I have loved this fragrance for so long, that I take it for granted, and havent bothered writing a review till now.
On me, this fragrance isnt ‘fresh’ by a mile. It is deep, smoky and mysterious somehow. It seems evenly blended, because despite being able to pick out the dominant notes, none overpowers the other.
However, I do agree with another reviewer who said that it doesn’t really evolve. It’s pretty straightforward – what you smell first is what you’ll smell in 30 minutes, is what you’ll smell as it fades.
Which is the other thing, it fades pretty fast, and in a while I have to hold my wrist really close to my nose to be able to tell that I have it on at all. On clothes, it seems to last longer though.
Whatever its shortcomings, I love this scent. When I wear it, I feel enveloped by something warm and familiar, comfortable.
I feel like it would suit women in their 20s and early 30s, who’re self assured, and coming into their own. Not aggressive, but unmistakably present.
PS: Oh, I was wearing this when the guy I was seeing at the time said I smelled sexy – so that’s a plus!
Creazy – :
I remember when this came out. I thought the bottle was exceptionally cute, so when I found myself confronted by a Kate gift set in a post Christmas sale I really couldn’t say no. Although the bottle is cheaply made, the design is really sweet, and the pale pink colour only adds to its appeal.
This fragrance begins as a sugared pink rose then deepens into a woody, damp, smokey rose as the day wears on. It starts off feminine and ends quite masculine and mature, which is an unusual trajectory for a celebrity scent. Although it’s not groundbreaking, it is very pleasant, and could easily be worn by a man, assuming he can get survive the girly top notes. It also lasts well – I get a good 6hours +.
The one thing I do have to say is that I think Kate’s fragrances don’t seem to correlate with her coke fiend party tart image at all. They seem to be all these terribly sweet English spring flower scents when I imagine the real Kate smells like a cross between ciggies, coffee and Pete Dougherty’s underpants!
blazetime – :
It makes me feel clean..especially if applied after shower..very soft floral scent that lasts almost 8 hours!!.. i like it for everyday use or one day holiday or even at home to stay fresh..
alexander1962 – :
I hate pink pepper!
killer13 – :
I love it. It’s very different from all the other celeb perfumes I’ve smelled. I realize that people either describe it as a clean, inoffensive, daytime scent or sexy, warm nighttime fragrance. I’m guessing that it depends on your body chemistry wether the more warm notes (patchouli, sandalwood and musk) are dominant, or if they totally get lost on your skin. Either way: It is a sensual, kinda sexy fragrance that doesn’t scream: Look at me, I’m here. If you like roses, you definetely have to check that out. I mean, you can never go wrong with the combination of Roses and Patchouli, IMHO. I’m a fan of rose scents, but they can be somehow tricky, cause they either smell too soapy, or too…well not what most young ladies would wear. But this is a very beautiful, fresh and feminine rose.
tigary – :
This just smells of shampoo. I dont get any musk or darkness. And the notes seem to be a mixed mess to my nose, no slow unravelling mystery.
elk968intitytek – :
I’ve been hearing/reading so many good things for KATE that I thought it was just my poor taste showing when I finally gave up on it as a bad job. The end result is so lifeless and bland.
I couldn’t pick out any of the floral notes, apart from a watery rose, which is part of the light, powdery jumble. On me there is no noticeable shift between the perfume’s top, heart and base.
After half an hour later there’s just a faint impression of woody amber left, that just reminds me of a cheap storebrand aftershave.
HooliGun93 – :
I have it… nothing special about this perfume!
zzzxzzx – :
I ended up selling my bottle on ebay, funnily enough I used all the body lotion from the gift set but couldn’t find anything compelling or addictive about the perfume.
It seemed linear to me, just fresh, quite sharp, soapy roses. It wasn’t soft enough for me, I like a bit of vanilla or chocolate or caramel.
You would like this if you like really fresh, floral perfumes
baraglot – :
I tried this (edt) out at work today on one of my more scent sensitive (read “picky”) colleagues and she said it was “nice and clean and inoffensive…not too floral.” But what I was smelling as she said that was a rather “dirty” patchouli rose. Not too strong, definitely not spicy and with good staying power. I like patchouli, so that is not a problem, and I, over all, like this scent. But I think I would like it better with a little more rose and a little less patchouli. I think my skin is amplifying the patchouli, so your results may be different. It is not a “girly” scent, but a surprisingly adult and rather serious one.

Bought this as a little extra gift for my mom because it was really cheap. It is simply awful to my taste. Too spicy and heavy!
If you do’nt love VERY warm and spicy perfumes, I think this may be too heavy for you.

If you like scents like Chloe, Oh Lola! or Daisy you’d really enjoy this scent 🙂
Longevity is 4 hours on me.. Good for the office, I don’t mind topping it up as you can buy it so cheaply
