I starts with bitter citrus followed by some smokey spices, heliotrope and pink pepper It dries into a warm creamy spicy and sweet silky base, vanilla tonka bean and the silky almond blossom
The topnotes are quite classic but the warm base is more retro There,s realy a vintage almost mouldy smell to it Its smells like something historic from past century,s
Its light and sunny enough too wear in summer and fall
yurask87 – :
This is also a very pretty powdery scent.
This scent has long lasting power on me.
I think it is a good choice for a powder scent.
jetray1980 – :
As a vintage lover and colector I was really curious about this fragrance.
I don’t mind wearing celebrity fragrances, most of them are great quality for a modest price, besides, although not a huge fan, I like Kate Moss.
The creator of this fragrance is Olivier Polge, the nose behind Gabrielle from Chanel and one of the creators of the overpopular La Vie est Belle.
The bottle is really beautiful, I love the classy design and it really fits the name, as the scent itself.
The scent is very powdery, romantic, I smell lots of vanilla mixed with heliotrope ( which is one of my favorite notes), with a hint of pink pepper, not a very complicated scent, yet very elegant and classy.
I only wear this scent during autumn and winter, I find it too sweet for warmer season, the longevity is more than decent, on me it lasts 4, 5 hours and if I spray my scarf with it, it lasts for days.
Too bad I can’t find it anywhere, I believe it’s discontinued, which is a shame, I only have a 15 ml bottle so I can’t wear it too often.
I really recommend this scent, in case you like powdery, soft scents, with a bit of luck, you might still find it in certain discount stores for a steal.
Donmus – :
🙁 sadly very little staying power
jackkrauser – :
I usually spend a lot of money on perfume. I mean with the niche ones who are very expensive. It’s a real change and a pleasure to find something at $20 at the pharmacy. Of course, it’s a star perfume but a nice and different one. Yes, Vintage smell vintage. A perfume in the style of Shalimar.
Roma3791 – :
This and Vintage Muse both remind me of Tom Ford’s Urban Musk. It must be the jasmine and musk. Both are dirty, primal scents with an expensive, uptown vibe. I can’t quit inhaling the powdery animalistic goodness of this. Sadly, it appears to be discontinued and what is available online is going for extortionate prices. TF Urban Musk is also discontinued. What does this say about my taste in perfume? Anyway, silage is quite good so what you spray, stays.
If you like light, floral masks like Kate Moss’s first perfume, stay far away from this and Vintage Muse. If you want a fragrance with character and adult in nature, try this, at least if you can get it at an affordable price.
creenuedupt – :
The nose behind this fragrance is OLIVIER POLGE.
I love it, it reminds me a lot of L’Instant Magic by GUERLAIN. Both fragrances have been discontinued…what a shame… 🙁
JoeyYQ – :
I experience most ‘celebrity’ scents are quite similar (fruity flowerbombs), but ever from the start Kate did a great job on her perfumes. After falling in love with Velvet Hour and Lilabelle, Vintage is the third one I’ve tried. This is a lovely vanilla musk which lasts a good 4 hours on me. And the bottle is to die for!
I recently heard that all of Kate’s perfumes will be discontinued, so do grab them while you still can.
lexx_z – :
Very special sent. It smell very vintage. It remind me my grandmother house. The old cosmetic. I like it and not in the same time.
Finalement après plusieurs semaines je l’aime. Je crois qu’il m’a fallu l’apprivoiser celui-ci tant son odeur me semblait étrange. Il ne tient pas vraiment longtemps par contre. C’est un parfum léger que je porte le soir avant d’aller dormir. Il me réconforte et laisse un léger aura «vintage» à ma taie d’oreiller :o)
wsf680intitytek – :
I agree that the name Vintage suits this perfume. If I were a method actor I could use Vintage to take me anywhere in time from let’s say the 1960’s back to the 1920’s. There’s something about this powdery, musky scent that allows my mind to wander.
Now to the scent. My favourite stage of Vintage is the citrus and pepper opening. It reminds me of Moschino Couture! although in Vintage the citrus and spice has been turned down slightly and the powder has been turned way up! The citrus and pepper soften into the drydown. I’m not getting much vanilla or flowers, which may suit some people not into very flowery perfumes. Instead I detect more heliotrope, tonka and musk.
Overall, I enjoy this as a change of mood from my mostly white flower wardrobe. Nice!
vladikoteabag – :
Vintage is reminiscent of the suntan lotion I wore in the 70’s…and I mean that in the best way. It is a nice vanilla perfume that is more of a skin scent. It’s a great comfort fragrance; perfect for daily wear when you just can’t decide what to wear.
kapl1788 – :
I’ve frequently worn Kate Moss Vintage lately. At first I only liked it a little. It has grown on me and I like it more and more. I still think that the opening is quite sharp and spicy — I think that’s because of the tonka bean. The drydown is lovely, though. The opening doesn’t offer much else than tonka bean (at least that’s my best guess), but the drydown is mellow, sweet and cozy. I think that the vanilla and almond blossom come into play in the drydown. So, the three dominating notes according to people’s votes here on Fragrantica seem to be right. However, they are just dominating the fragrance at different stages. Sillage is okay and longevity is quite good. I spray three times on each of my knees and I can smell it sometimes when I walk. I can still smell Vintage the next day, but then it has turned into this sweet, mellow fragrance. The drydown is not that powerful and so its sillage fades. It doesn’t bother me, ’cause I like the fact that the scent’s sillage and character change. It’s still just a ‘like’ because of the spicy opening, but if I only had to consider the drydown, it would be a ‘love’.
olushavit – :
I have heliotrope growing on my balcony so I am familiar with the scent of the flower and to me this is basically a heliotrope soliflore with a prominent hint of sweet orange in the opening. I love it. It is soft, creamy, delicately sweet in a floral way, and almost almond/vanilla but not quite. It’s slightly powdery but gently so, and nothing is sharp or artificial about it. It’s like a heliotrope-orange vanilla creamsicle. The dry down reminds me a little of Naughty Alice. It’s about the same amount of powdery floral-sweet.
My only problem with it is that it is SO close to the skin. Longevity is great but projection is almost non-existent. I want Vintage to stay with me but I can’t smell at all five minutes after applying it unless I smash my nose onto my arm. It’s not fair! It smells SOOOO Good! I am totally huffing my arm right now.
Thanks to 2746cstreet for my generous decant. This should have been named Heliotrope, instead of the rendition by Etro which is largely a vanilla/almond liquor on my skin.
jnkim – :
This is not unlike Cinema at all. And I love Cinema so this is fine with me. It¨s muskier and less bright than Cinema and the mix of florals are less original, but it definitely reminds me of it. I always enjoy citrus with vanilla since without it vanilla gets boring soon. I know lots of people have issues with freesia, but to me there could actually have been MORE freesia in this. The heliotrope and almond blossom are very cozy and quite sultry, actually. I think this is good, but having Cinema too I kind of don´t need it.
erik11 – :
I am not getting as much vanilla from this as I would have thought. This is mostly a combination of musk and almond blossom to me. This has a clean soapy quality mingled with warmth, and is only slightly sweet to me. This is one part floral, one part powder, one part soap, a dash of sweetness, and balanced out by warm clean musk. I am very impressed with this.
victor981 – :
This is mainly vanilla on me. Not overly complicated, but beautiful nonetheless. I think winter and cold weather brings out the notes better than a hot day would. It is sweet, the almond notes are not screamingly loud but they bring sweetness into it, which could, on some perhaps be cloying. Its about chemistry and what you like in a perfume. On me, I don’t get much jasmine, just enough to notice its subtle presence in balance with the rest. Worth checking out if you like sweet vanilla scents like Guerlain L’instant for example. Muuuuuuuch cheaper!
profit_igor – :
Veeery, veeeeery spicy, spices leave all the other ingredients far behind. But this is exactly what makes Vintage exceptional. I can smell carnation, cloves and cinnamon – they’re not listed, I know, but they are definitely present in my bottle:-D
akhvitalya – :
I gather from reviews that the fragrances Kate puts out smell like nothing she would actually wear. Hey it’s fun to try to imagine how Kate might actually smell if you got into a lift with her! I’m thinking Pete Doherty’s armpit, stale cigarettes, patchouli, dove soap and… tiare flower.
This fragrance smells of VANILLA VANILLA VANILLA VANILLA VANILLA VANILLA VANILLA and I’m picking up some strong vanilla. I picked it up as a blind buy for $14.99 and because of that, I’m not disappointed. It’s totally wearable and inoffensive, cute bottle. Just nothing special.
Shtolzer – :
The problem with this one is the staying power, it fades away so fast. But otherwise smells nice. Yes, I think Vintage is a very proper name for this fragrance. I like the vanilla-almond scent, but it’s just gone too fast. I’ve used two bottles of this one, but I don’t think I’ll purchase it again.
irina.scheregesch – :
I remember reading the notes on this and thinking “Ugh. I hope I don’t smell the freesia”. I HATE FREESIA.
Well, I CAN smell the freesia, but it doesn’t smell like nail polish remover or plastic. Yay!
I get a lot of citrus in the opening of Vintage. The mandarin is coming off more like lemon or lemon blossom on my skin. It remains through the life of the fragrance, but definitely tones down.
Vintage is a cozy, creamy, powdery vanilla/tonka with a not too gourmand almond note. In some respects it reminds me of Jesus Del Pozo’s In White, but the almond in In White is much more bitter.
Williamisjlu – :
Received my small bottle of Vintage on St. Nicholas’ Day last year. At first I simply liked it but never paid that much attention to it. But now it’s a whole other story – I love it! It’s warm, feminine, comforting but also a tad sexy. Wearing it for the third day in a row and already received compliments on how good I smell 🙂 Lasting power is 3-4 hours, but that’s alright with this one 🙂
sanitar – :
Absolutely in love with this little beauty! My oh so tiny 15 ml bottle is small enough to carry around and apply often – pretty much a mandatory thing since the staying power is nonexistent, 15 minutes maybe. Sillage too, so very discreet.
Still, I love it! From the shape of the bottle, its powdery-vintage green shades, the soft pepper and vanilla and powder accords. Everything but the poor longevity.
Simple words to describe it: comfortable, cuddly, warm, delicate and feminine, nothing old-lady-ish about it! Another blind buy, another instant crush.
Similar feelings i’ve felt after trying Yves Rocher “Vanille Noir” – serenity and comfort for rest of the day.
brat1611 – :
If you remove the vanilla and amplify this a thousand times you will end up with Oscar de la Renta Esprit d’Oscar. It’s the tonka helitrop musk combo that does it. To me Vintage is a sophisticated vanilla, soft and warm, well blended, really nice.
Hadson – :
I only smell sweet vanilla in this. A bit boring.
When I wear it, I think of an old lady in an old kitchen, baking vanilla cake. Just a “home coasy” scent. Wouldn’t wear it anywhere else than at home.
BOXS – :
I recently purchase this based on reviews here.. And i love it!! The top note is lemony fresh to me, but not kind of car freshener but drinks fresh, and it mellows down to sweet lemon with dusty notes. The drydown is sweet vanilla with softest musk and still have the dusty quality that i really love.. Overall is love!! Sillage is moderate, but longevity is poor. On my skin it only lasts maximum 4 hours, and my skin is the type that holds perfume very well.. A must have for 25-35 yrs
DEVILRED123 – :
Vintage is – like Kate herself – effortlessly chic. It is womanly (with the flowers), sweet (with the vanilla) and fresh at the same time (with the citrus) and quite grounded and hearty somehow (heliotrope and tonka?).
I took my miniature bottle on a trip to Portugal and I must say that throughout those few days of my journey, Vintage had been an extremely pleasant companion. Every time I put it on I kept thinking “what a loveable fragrance”! It does remind me slightly of both The Iceberg by Iceberg and Trouble by Boucheron and the longevity is pretty poor, but for some reason I still can’t stop thinking that this is a loveable one! 🙂
sisoev777 – :
This scent is AMAZING! I was not expecting it at all.
Such a beautiful soft musky Vanilla, and strangely soft Lemon meringue mixed with it. Even though Lemon isn’t even a listed note!
I can not stop smelling my wrists, I have a lot of perfumes, but WOW I love this one. A definite fav, totally underrated!
Very feminine and pretty!
vasiliimaidurov – :
pretty yet seems mature
i rate this as what i’ll wear if im going down to my local for a few drinks with the girls, nothing too fancy, id be eating a steak, drinking bourbon and wearing jeans..
not a everyday fragrance but not one to wear anywhere overly special
dont get me wrong i do like it its pretty and its cheap and the bottle looks quite nice in my bathroom
bizon.nik – :
this is perfect lipstick or makeup fragrance. it dries down to vanilla musk and powder i agree with similarity to cinema YSL ( which i love and lasting for days) vintage is weak and faint with no sillage ( just like face powder )stay close to the skin .
C_h_e – :
Delicate, powdery, somewhat tart and very lady-like fragrance that bears a striking resemblance to the heart notes of Guerlain L’Instant Magic. As other reviewers have said, all the accords here are perfectly blended to create an impression of fragile silk and heirloom lace. A glance through the listed notes will help you analyze what you were smelling: mandarin orange, vanilla, the sweet sensuality of tonka bean and the old-world powdery marzipan note of heliotrope and almonds.
Vintage is selling for next to nothing at grocery stores and other outlets, where it’s probably being impulse-bought for its low price rather than for the wonderful quality of the scent. It’s been discontinued, so grab it while you can.
Belofw – :
If i wouldn’t know this is a celebrity scent i would never guess myself. It smells expensive, powerful and just great. I got my 15 ml bottle (the shape and how tiny it is makes it more cute) just for testing because from the notes i should like it. And i certainly do! I have already big bottle coming in next week.
It is definitely vanilla which is kept in balance with orange. It makes it alive preventing from being boring and flat. Vintage has this dusty note, for me it makes it unique. It reminds me powder note which i also get from Kenzo scents. Simply adoring.
Sillage is not that great but if i wear it i can still smell it around me. Staying power is moderate but i don’t mind reapplying since this is heaven to my nose from first spray till drydown.
pleroplannepe – :
Not bad, I’d use it again if it were a gift I definitely would not buy it.
Warm, sweet, spicy, oriental.
KKK111KKK111 – :
Vintage is very very smooth, beautiful, sophisticated and rich. Very much a skin scent, it clings very very very close to you, and smells expensive.
All the notes are expertly blended so they all melt together as one. Pepper in this fragrance is extremely soft, mild, not overpowering at all. Sweet, but not sugary, Vintage is super light, totally soft and delicate. It is powdery, but not heavy at all. It’s sheer, clean, fresh, light, lovely, delicate , understated and very classy.
Totally feminine, Vintage can be worn anywhere any time of year. Vintage lasts just as long as all those similar more expensive fragrances. Love this beauty !
suvor.rr – :
A great powdery scent. Not same as L’instant Magic but I can smell similaritys. Wonderful with a great punch of powder, vanilla, tonka and musk.
After 2 hours it goes into my skin and next person have to stand very close or hug me to get a wiff of Vintage. Now 5 hours later it starts to get weak. But I like i alot. When I wear L’instant Magic its gone within 90 minutes, I guess its my skintype that makes that. Vintage is not totally L’instant Magic but L’instant Magic’s sister..
Edit a few days later: It’s really close to L’instant Magic on my skin. I have a friend who owns LM so I tried them both on separete hands, and my skintype keeps Vintage better then LM. LM is gone within 90 min. Vintage stays 5 hours + on me.
En härlig pudrig doft. Inte exakt som L’instant Magic men jag tycker den liknar den. Härlig, med en rejäl dos puder, vanilj, tonka och musk.
Efter 2 timmar så går Vintage in i huden och nästa person måste stå nära eller krama mig för att få en fläkt av doften. Nu 5 timmar senare börjar den bli svag. Men jag gillar den skarpt. När jag bär L’instant Magic så är den borta på mindre än 90 minuter, kanske min hud som gör det. Vintage är inte en kopia av L’instant Magic – men den kan vara L’instant Magic’s syster..
Uppdatering några dagar senare: har en kompis som har LM och jag provade var parfym på varje handrygg. De är väldigt lika varann på min hud. LM är borta på mindre än 90 min och Vintage stannar mer än 5 timmar på mig.
rexp24 – :
I got it a while ago, since it was cheap and I liked it at first sniff.
Staying power is not that great, after a while all I can smell is vanilla.
I love the bottle, it looks very Art Deco and I love the colour of it, like a pale, art deco jewel.
It reminds me of sunny, early autumn days and ‘studying’ – smell books in a library. Even more so – reminds me of rose-scented powdery lipsticks, makeup and the books in your handbag. It’s a tad too sweet for my liking, but it kind of works with my skin and I kept it in my purse as a ‘to go’ scent.

It’s one of those rare sunny days. It’s early October, Tuesday afternoon. You walk aimlessly in Camden Market. You have time to waste, you’re only meeting your lover in a few hours from now. Half lost, half on purpose, you end up in the vintage section of the market. The sweet vapors of sheeshas mix with the dust coming out of that old copy of Woolf’s “To The Lighthouse” you’ve been flicking through. 75p, what the hell, you grab it. And then you turn around and you see that flapper gown. It’s in bad shape, beads are missing all over the place, it must’ve used to be ivory but it’s all sorts of yellowy beige now. Yet, you’re attracted to it. You’ve never known your great grand mother, but you’ve seen picture of her, wearing a similar dress. On that picture she was with an handsome, intriguing man. All you know is that it wasn’t your great grand father. You tilt your head as you stare at the derelict, once beautiful gown. You think of that man in the picture. Who could he have been? You slowly go back to the Canal. You feel like walking, it’s such a rare lovely day. You don’t know how, but you end up at St.Pancras, where your lover will arrive from his stay in Paris. You open your handbag and pull out your bottle of Kate Moss Vintage, you spray it on your wrists, bring them to your nose and smile as you stare at the Arrivals board.
charik – :
It’s probably me but I don’t see why so many people compare this to “L’instant Magic”. I have both and “Vintage” gives me a whole lot of sweet and sticky while “L’instant” is just creamy, soft powder. Can’t be my skin, I have the same feeling when sprayed on clothes and hair. They might be remotely related but definitely not a Dupe.
Totally agree to Vie Cafe.
pavlik1993.am – :
The name ‘Vintage’ really suits this scent.
I bought this blindly based on the reviews here,and it does remind me of vintage clothing stores. There is the dustiness of a vintage shop,which is quite pleasant. Its scent is of 1920’s style hats,aviator jackets,old pinstriped suits,shirts and blouses of years gone by. For some perhaps,it’s a trip down memory lane.
There is some vanilla warming this but,I’m not a big fan of vanilla,so I would have used a powder note instead. But I do really like this,and the bottle does have a vintage look and feel. This is a nice relaxing scent. In fact,it is quite unique,and sooo incredibly retro. Try it!
Groushsumatqh – :
Vintage WHAT exactly? Vintage cough lolly? Vintage throat lozenge? Sorry, but this is what I’m getting.
anatol94 – :
Powdery vanilla with a kind of manly striking undertone like harsh carnation or pelargonium, but only something I get – it isn´t listed.
I have been interested in Vintage and L´instant magic – of course .
But got this almost free, cheaper than a sample from Europe…sorry
– but its true – This fragrance is far from cheapsmelling though !
It is kind of lady like …but a modern lady that is !
The first burst is very sharp it almost made me choke, cause it is really a lot of powder… it settles to a more wearable powdery scent.
I feel like it can be a nice office/ work scent without being too sexy
or too subtle, eaither.
From heartnote and on it made me think of Paul Smith Extreme woman.
I am really surprised by all those “so called ” Celeb scents that, far from scared me away – instead has impressed me a lot, the last year.
I here declare peace with all celeb scents ever made. !
All of us may not love you all , but some of us may love some….
Cause they´re worth it .
AskoldVolkov – :
Vintage really does bear a striking resemblance to YSL Cinema. I think Vintage is a bit muskier, maybe, and there is that dusty note that others have mentioned, too. I really, really like it. It is warm, sophisticated, and very long-lasting on me. Such a beautiful bottle, too! It feels like a precious vintage perfume flacon. The main notes that I smell in this are vanilla (of course), almond, soft jasmine, musk, citrus, and heliotrope, in that order. It has a very cozy and cuddly vibe. I am wanting to try more of Kate Moss’ perfume line after this one! If Vintage is any indication, she does great perfumes.
Hotpepster – :
The nicest perfume bottle I have ever seen- classic, vintage, chic and feminine. This is what a perfume bottle should look like.
Nice enough scent, not great. Prob more suited to teenagers.
qwm058elipseskism – :
I don’t like the citrus-topnote, but after 20 minutes “vintage” is developing into a super-soft vanillary powder-scent… I really love it, i think this is a scent you can wear every day, it will not offend anyone.
meepayCrark – :
This is one of my favourites. When I first spray it,I get a lemony fizzy sherbet scent which mellows to a delicious sweet floral musky and slightly powdery fragrance. It must be perfect for my chemistry as it never has any nasty undertones and lasts all day. Just picked up a brand new 50ml bottle on Ebay for £11 🙂
MorCoampCog – :
Such a pretty scent..but where is the projection and longevity? nowhere is the answer to that.
I see above that it’s been compared to L’instant Magic by Guerlain, maybe I need to try that out.
This is beautiful though, light citrus..the softest powder and a youthful grace. I would never noramlly pair a citrussy smell with powdery notes and think that it could work but in this?? It’s done beautifully. This is something I would adore so much more if it were stronger. I know some perfumes aren’t supposed to be strong but this one is SO soft..it’s the bearest breath of perfume on the skin. Shame really.
I use this as a bedtime scent after the shower. It’s clean..pretty…feminine..almost like body cream. Yum!
avgan1977 – :
There’s not really much to say about Kate Moss’ third fragrance release VINTAGE.
After breaking out of the predictable fruity/floral mould with her second release, Velvet Hour, she and Coty did a U turn, and are now back to the first perfume’s [Kate] blueprint; all I get from VINTAGE is a mild mix of soft citrus, unidentifiable powdered floral notes and a hint of vanilla.
The staying power is non-existent, which is why I’ve been unable to write a detailed review. Within half an hour of application I couldn’t smell a thing – no, I’m not exaggerating.
The bottle is very pretty; it’s what made me notice VINTAGE in the store. The name doesn’t match the juice at all – I would have gone for lavender, rose and/or violet for a vintage type fragrance. Maybe a wine accord for a bit of tongue-in-cheek fun?
Vizanov – :
I accidently sampled this, wasn’t sure in the beginning..But after few hours tried it again and noticed how truly lovely this is, sophisticated and mysterious.
Seems to resonate with me so perfectly..
khalex5 – :
I sampled this on my wrist today, since it was discounted to only $17 at a drug store.
Top notes: Reminiscent of red door and other ‘affluent mature lady’-type perfumes. I’m just not an oriental spicy person (the top notes smelled quite spicy to me).
Drydown: Very nice! I like the musk and vanilla combination here- it’s not really unique, but it’s quite pleasant and still smells like an expensive perfume. The drydown took about 5 hours to appear, though, and I’m not sure if I would purchase this for the drydown alone.
Longevity and sillage: It has been about 7 hours since I sprayed this on and it’s definitely still there. Sillage (on me) is moderate-to-heavy.
Dislike the top notes + love the drydown = Overall like
Hartaddemia – :
This is a really lovely perfume. It reminds me of being in an old vintage store- it has sweet yet musky notes to it. I can almost smell the muskiness of vintage clothes, shoes and handbags. The thing that makes it great is that it doesn’t smell ‘old’, it smells vintage but not in a way that makes you think of your grandparents or a decade that you were not even born in. I don’t get much of a floral vibe from this perfume (which is great as i am not into florals) and that which is there is subtle.
kolyan9396 – :
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I really like this one !
Kate’s other pefume “Vintage Muse” (dont wanna be rude) smells like POO !
This one is really great though hopefully !
drz531Bessinepome – :
I don’t get much citrus from this but a lot of amber and a musky overall scent which is warm, and dries down beautifully on my skin’s chemistry. Rather beautiful in a warm and understated way, this one smells like class to me in that it doesn’t scream to be centre stage and I can easily imagine this suiting almost anyone.
Edit; I now own a bottle (yay!) and I can smell mandarin in the top notes, (yuum!), and a ton of amber and vanilla mingling with almond, it is absolutely gorgeous and warms beautifully on my skin. A definite keeper.
balu133a53 – :
I’m quite sure that u are all acquainted with this ‘ oh well, not what I expected but it’s ok…’ feeling when blind buying. I got that same dismaying pit in my stomach when first trying it. I then figured out that this was like a sort of food ( sushi for me!) that GROWS on you. The 3rd time I tried it, the Love’s Baby soft notes seemed different. The weather was cooler too… I could smell the vanilla, luscious and citrusy fresh mandarin poking through. Then, the pink pepper brought my mind back to Hard Candy. It smelled sooo familiar! kinda neet to recognize so many notes ! I cannot say I am acquainted with almond blossom… but this fragrance sure has the bitter-creamy touch of almonds.. the jasmine is tame wich is fine with my chemistry!The musky drydown, made rich by the tonka bean notes and amber is long lasting on me. (i put a dab of mineral or baby oil beforehand so it stays longer). For 20$ Canadian, I am quite pleased with my 50ml, edp! Shall probably repurchase. The semi oriental-victorian vibes got me addicted, what can i say!
Now, in Autumn, I am wearing this delicious fume and it wraps me up in a cashmere shawl… It has a scent that reminds me so much of fine boutiques, of quality clothes and mostly sweet smelling leather (a pink suede comes to mind). She truly achieved her desired result: a chic, long-lasting quality perfume that smells MUCH more expensive than it is. It brings to mind Shalimar, L’Instant Magique, Nanette Lepore, Tresor, Cinema and Prada Amber. I am supposing it is their ‘luxurious notes of deep mystery’ that lures me. I got my second bottle since I no longer see it on sale here, close to Montreal, where I live. : D . yes, I love it that much! It suits my personality: soft, sweet, warm and tenderly joyful
Arthur-king777 – :
had a sample of vintage… another warm scent from kate moss
good mix of sweet, floral and musk, need to sample it again
still a wonderful scent 😉
denfix – :
I do like this scent but there isn’t much too it. Without meaning to offend I would describe it as ‘cheap’ smelling.
You are immediately hit with a strong powdery scent that is quite overpowering. It does settle down into a creamy musk with clear notes of warm vanilla and Tonka bean.
After a while this does start to smell quite nice on my skin but for the first hour you will smell a bit like a doughnut factory on fire.
pendantitte – :
Very pretty fragrance, for young women. Fresh and light at the beginning, it becomes powdery and sugary. It’s very romantic. The bottle is very nice and the lasting power is correct. I like Velvet Hour and this one among Kate Moss fragrances. And I would like to test Vintage Muse.
dimonlimon – :
When I first sprayed this I was a little disappointed with the kitchen cleaner smell -BUT…WAIT for it…half an hour later i could smell a delicious lemon merangue and custard tart baking somewhere….alas it was me! lol LOVE this now.Well worth the couple of quid I paid for happy sweet pudding days 😀
rrozzo – :
Powdery, musky, vanilla. Vintage reminds me of Love’s Baby Soft. Now there is a blast from the past! LOL
Kirko – :
I tested it and for me it´s DISGUSTING! On me it smelled only by awfull synthetic lemon- that same like in detergents. YUK!!
stalker.pilot – :
i really love this perfume, it’s very soft and powdery and the vanilla is really intensive. however, i only wish it would last longer. the scent practically disappears after about an hour

Pink pepper? Really? Doesn’t turn out on my skin, pheeew! Being a pepper-hater it would have ruined it all for me, but instead it get a almondy-sweet-vanilla-fruitcake, matching my chemistry perfectly!
This one is obviously not available in my home, so I found in on a trip, instantly falling in love with it.
Wished it had more lasting power though.

a nice perfume , but you come to know after letting it stay for a time especially at the end when it is pure musk. ummmmm. i love it (i ignored it at start) . long lasting. i think i can wear it even if it is for women. it reminds me of gucci by gucci for women.

I loved it when i first smelled it, n it was inexpensive, so i tho this was a great catch of the day!
Went home, sprayed it on myself n my brother was like… puuuke what did u spray on urself,….. the following day, i made my girl friend smell it n she was like its smells like toilet sprays her big sister sprays in her bathroom, n the sorry thing is that my boy friend said it smells cheap! that was the last time i used it n now its sitting on my perfume shelf doing nothing!! :((

this is definitely as its name says ‘Vintage’ scent. tea-like aroma, fresh citrus, vanilla and oldie’s florals. I almost detect dewy scent which adds to the ‘long time ago appeal’. no powder here. Longevity 5 hours. It’s worth the price! aaaand the bottle is uber cute:)
