Kate Spade

Phone keeps freezing, so I will make this short: This was a gorgeous and nearly flawless white floral. Gardenia was accurate, honeysuckle often came shining through, and the Jasmine and tuberose were both creamy and fabulous. I could never wear it all the time because it was so rich that it could sometimes give me headaches, but it is one of my all-time favorites regardless of that. When I DID wear it, I was in a cloud of petals all day long. Sillage was moderate to heavy, and longevity was ridiculously long. I could spray a half spray once and smell gorgeous for an entire day and most of the evening. I still actually have a bottle, but I had a summer with no air conditioning, and it's not the same anymore. The fluid is much darker, and although the perfume still smells very nice, I'm basically just getting a "blurry" gardenia muddled with a flower stew. There's not as much freshness, and I don't find myself going, "oh! There's the honeysuckle now!" I can't believe the fragrance still smells as good as it does, and I'll still wear it, but I miss the clarity it had. Just sexy, classic, old money in a bottle.

Sadly this was discontinued, apparently around the same time that Twirl was launched. Kate's original scent was produced in partnership with Estee Lauder. After Spade's brand ultimately ended up in the hands of Liz Claiborne, the company partnered with Elizabeth Arden to make Twirl which I find to be generic and forgettable. The original scent though seems a bit more mature but in no way dated or matronly. It's so rich with harmonious notes and the staying power is amazing without being overpowering. I'm going to treasure the amount I have left and keep a nose out for a honeysuckle based fragrance that mixed the flower as well as this one did. I will miss this scent terribly!

I am so surprised to see Kate Spade parfume here, last year it wasn't on the list. i can't believe that there isn't even one review about this gorgeous parfume. in my opinion it is the best fragrance cocktail of jasmine and lily of the valley ever. My Bravo to everyone who worked on it!!!!! it is soooooo sexy, sophisticated, very unique and extremly long lasting. i am a huge fan of Lilly of the valley and jasmine, so ever since i used this parfume ( which was 5 years ago) i can't find anything which is even close to it. such a shame that i can't buy it where i live. i see there is a new parfume coming out, can't wait to smell it.

Really green The majority of the green initially, then more of the white blossoms emerge. Gardenia is the second-strongest flower after jasmine. when the green has significantly faded in the drydown, it turns tropical. It reminds me of a large, green classic. Although I'm not getting coconut, it might be there in the drydown. For me, this is a really green, white flower that would work well in the winter, chilly spring, or fall. It is incredibly sensual, classy, one-of-a-kind, and long-lasting. Amazing beauty!

This was once my signature scent. It is beautiful, harmonious and elegant. I had three bottles on hand, and one of them started to turn :( I gave the aging one to a friend of mine, who gobbled it up. She used the 1/2 bottle in no time. I am left with two 1.7 oz bottles, the body oil spray and several body butters. I am savoring them! Each time I wear this, I receive so many compliments. LOVE this. I wish Kate would bring this back to her lineup!
