KS's New York appears to be the office/business/school version of Cherie... just a little bit more sophisticated and pulled together than Cherie. I tried Kate Spade's New York after sampling Kate Spade's new perfume, Cherie. Product Ingredients: Alcohol Denat.

Celebrities caught wind and Kate Spade became their signature scent. Kate Spade’s best-selling perfume is Kate Spade New York. The scent takes on a new life compared to their previous launches. It has a more youthful scent. Previous scents focused more on rosy and floral scents for more mature women. The sparkling top note of citrusy bergamot combined with sweet wild strawberry bursts with optimism and happiness. Carnation is not listed in the ingredient list, but the dry down phase smells similar to my dearly loved (green bottle) Cabotine, which I have worn for years since 1999, when a neighbor introduced me to this. The intense floral heart of rose essence adds a fresh femininity so characteristic of the Kate Spade New York Woman.The fragrance, created by the Perfumer Marie Salamagne, is colourful, full of the energy and grace the brand embodies. The sparkling top note of citrusy bergamot combined with sweet wild strawberry bursts with optimism and happiness. The intense floral heart of rose essence adds fresh femininity so characteristic of the Kate Spade New York Woman. The base note of ambroxan and cashmeran unveils a voluptuous woody touch to the fragrance, instilling it with depth and confidence. This perfume is simple and uncomplicated -- it has an aroma with more of a modern approach... wears similar to a light wash of aromatherapy (and what I mean by that, it is not as potent as the typical aromatherapy... but it has a fresh upbeat vibe to it where it could be considered mood altering - gives you an upbeat feeling, lifts the mood)! Fresh and clean vibe - lovely! Wears in a youthful fashion - any age could wear this and appreciate it, but it definitely leans YOUNG - with a YOUNG VIBE.

Kate Spade New York was founded in 1993 by Kate Spade and her husband Andy. Kate got her start as a style editor for Mademoiselle but wanted more. Kate Spade, the business, originally only sold handbags. They were styled in classic shapes with wild colors. The company became famous once a journalist acclaimed the brand. Soon the brand appeared on notable famous faces and among the upper class of New York.Ok, for those of you who like perfumes that make more of a statement than this, this will never be "your signature", that perfume that you wear every time you spritz perfume. However, in each person's life, there will come a time when you feel like you need a break from your current routine - to have a vacation, a weekend break, a day off -- or if you are such a work-a-holic that you never take even so much as a "day cation" - then there will come a point where you see the value in a lunch break. When this time comes - this is the type of perfume that can give you a fresh perspective - and a light hearted uplifting vibe. This is that type of perfume. If you’re looking for something new that will make people notice how great you smell every day, TRULYtimeless by Kate Spade might be just what you need.

Cherie is more airy and like you are smelling the entire chord - presented as if it is in a cloud...no hard edges, no notes screaming for attention -- just a nice chord that smells like a great perfume to wear when you are wanting something that blends in, isn't so noticeable - and could be good at the gym, just out of the shower, running errands, outdoor activities, something fresh -- but nothing that lingers like you are wearing "a heavy perfume". After the first 30 minutes this dries down into a perfume that wears as if you are wearing a perfume - one or two levels up from stepping out of the shower - freshly shampooed and with a slight smell of soap... like you used a shower gel or soap. The base note of ambroxan and cashmeran unveils a voluptuous woody touch to the fragrance, instilling it with depth and confidence. TRULYtimeless is a floral woody musk that will make your day feeling fresh and fun. The top notes are cotton flowers and aldehydes, which will give you an instant burst of energy. It’s also infused with neroli, so it’ll be like taking a breath of fresh air every time you wear it. Plus, white musk and cedarwood base notes will leave you feeling confident all day long.

In the 2000s, the brand expanded its product line. They sold stationery, shoes, clothes, cosmetics, and perfume. In the later half of the 2000s, they started to sell home décor and goods. In 2003, Kate Spade launched their first perfume Kate Spade for women. It was an instant hit and prompted Kate Spade to produce even more fragrances and collections. Wait for the dry down - this has a similar smell as the nostalgic light marine blue Estee Lauder Youth Dew Soap Bars that my mother always loved! This is great on, especially as this wears into the dry down phase!
