Kate by Kate Moss

Smells great, it’s feminine and has presence, but the problem is that on my skin it becomes almost invisible. What a shame, because if not for that, I would have already made a long-term relationship with this perfume.

It’s like Kate: delicate but with character. How can such a soft perfume be so ‘aggressive’? They nailed her temperament to a T. Rose is always there, mixed with pink pepper and a potent musk. In summer, the peony was also noticeable. Lasting power is tremendous.

I didn’t like it. I had it years ago expecting something else. I don’t even remember the pineapple; it just smells like so much, so much orange blossom.

Flowers at Hell’s Gate: Kate Moss is the most profitable model in history, a bohemian visionary and fatal. In 2007, Coty asked for her first perfume, conceptually inspired by her youthful Anais Anais, though olfactively they have nothing in common. It was a hit in Europe; I think they don’t make it anymore, but you can still find it. People expected something aggressive, but here it plays with a vintage floral representing Kate’s ‘day’: her practical, sweet, and naif side, with a watery touch, like British weather. A pleasant floral with a contemporary musky finish and a retro personality. I bought it at first because it reminded me of NR for Her; it seemed like a summer version. At first, it smells like orange blossom and dries down to peony, rose, and musky violet. The final violet is subtle but adds that jasminey, delicate, and vintage tone. It’s a wonderful floral, sweet and young but serious, not powdery, with discreet projection and eternal longevity. The dry-down is heavenly. At times it reminds me of Chloé EDP but more mature and restrained; here, the nose never gets saturated. For anyone buying an old bottle (made more than 36 months ago), my experience is that even though I left it half-full and exposed to light and heat, it remains intact. I imagine the new ones have barely aged. USE: Chameleon-like, for informal and semi-formal moments, suitable all year round, especially in spring and autumn. It’s melancholic, romantic, and possesses a femininity adaptable to everyone.

Her creator always had scandals, but this fragrance is totally the opposite: very feminine and delicate. It starts floral with a citrus touch, youthful and discreet. It doesn’t last long, about 4 hours, and isn’t intense, making it ideal for daily use. Accessible price and can be worn all year.
