Right now we could all do with some mood-boosting treats, so I was delighted when Kate Spade’s New York perfume, in it’s pretty pink packaging, landed on my desk.

This fragrance is light and joyful, making it an easy choice for an every-day perfume. It opens with sparkling fruity top notes of bergamot and wild strawberries, floral heart notes of rose and freesia, and sensual woody notes lingering in the base. All these notes together make a charming and feminine scent, epitomising the Kate Spade New York woman.

Actress, dancer and model Maddie Ziegler is the face of the fragrance and watching her in the campaign video, shot in New York just before the pandemic hit, really does put a smile on your face. She is full of life and exudes positivity (especially important during times like this) and really inspires you to add a zing to your step as she dances across the screen!

The bottle is clear and modern with an enamel ring at the base of the cap featuring the brand’s signature shade of pink and a spade, a classic design detail that continues to be reinvented.

This is a lovely, airy, fruity and floral accord perfect to wear on summer days (and during winter too, to conjure up a bit of that sunny feeling inside!).
