Kate Moss launches new Vintage perfume
Coty and Kate Moss have announced their latest collaboration, Vintage. The new fragrance was created by perfumer Olivier Polge, and is housed in a bottle inspired by vintage perfume bottles of the 1920s and 30s.

Kate Moss comments, "I am fascinated by vintage pieces because they not only have a remarkable beauty but also an innate sense of history - I love the fact that each object has its own story to tell. And yet vintage items can be reinvented with a modern twist to make them very fresh and relevant today. That's why vintage looks have inspired my personal style, my work as a fashion designer and, now, my fragrance."

Vintage is a blend of fruity and floriental notes and opens with illuminating pink pepper, white freesia and mandarin. The heart consists of heliotrope, jasmine and almond flower; and base notes include tonka bean, vanilla and skin musks.

The print ad, shot by Mert and Marcus, features Kate Moss inside a 6ft replica of the Vintage faceted glass bottle. The television advertising iwas created by leading British artist and photographer Katerina Jebb.end of article
