Kate (2007)
by Kate Moss

I received a sample of Kate Moss Kate with a purchase at Ulta. Notes are supposed to include orange blossom absolute, forget-me-not, pink pepper, lily of the valley, heliotrope, magnolia, peony, rose, patchouli, sandalwood, musk, vetiver and ambrette. In the first few seconds it's very rosy, with the patchouli tinge to keep it earthy & interesting. As it dries down it gets sweeter and muskier, and I think I can just barely detect the pepper, which I'm glad is barely there. I'd swear I smell some violet. I would wear this. It's very nice, and I like that it's on the lighter side. It's supposed to be a dark rose - whatever that means - I suppose it is at that, but I get a feeling of gyspy roses on a shawl, like something Stevie Nicks would have worn. And then it also reminds me of YSL Paris a little bit, which I wore in the 80's. So either way, I'm getting a sense of nostalgia. Isn't it funny how fragrances work on you that way. But I like it.

This has a great scent when sprayed, wears off quickly....Much more impressed by Velvet Hour

Cheap celeb scent. Enough said.

Kate should stick to modeling for great scents like Bulgari, cK Obsession, Chanel scents and YSL Opium. What else do you expect from Coty though?

It is supposed to have pink peppercorns, orange blossom absolute, lily of the valley, heliotrope, magnolia, peony, rose petals, patchouli, sandalwood, musk, vetiver & ambrette seed notes. But briefly; It is a cute floral with a limited silage and longevity.
